This is cute: Matthew Yglesias just quoted Battlestar Galactica at the end of a column on fiscal policy.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

He lost me by approvingly quoting Larry Summers, conveniently ignoring the fact that he's part of the reason we're in this mess.
Sorry, I know, not a politics thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am really enjoying Colin being a bad guy. I figured he was once the two guys changed Lexi's mind in the bar(n). It seemed so convenient. He's positively glowing this episode.

Not only the bad guy but at minimum the Season's big bad. Maybe the big bad for the whole show.

I wonder what the show's arc is supposed to be through future seasons. Not enough to ask, though...
I'm rewatching Blake's 7, and it's fascinating as it comes together into what I hadn't remembered I remembered. Dana and Tarrant just showed up, and OH. That looks a lot more familiar, only twenty eight episodes in...

I always wondered how they planned to sustain it long term. My guess: this is pretty much written from season to season.

I love Colin as the Big Bad. And even more as a nuanced Big Bad. He's doing this because he's trying to get his Audrey/Sarah/Lexi back. I think that he was saying that the woman who decided to become Audrey/Sarah/Lexi was the one he wanted. But, would it not occur to him that a woman who would make that kind of sacrifice in order to help the Troubled would not like him giving people Troubles to get her back?

But if we can believe the latest, she did not choose to sacrifice herself. She is being punished. Of course, William lies a lot. I like that the end of Friday's leaves us wondering what the ratio of truth to lies is in William's latest revelation.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
