This is (sadly) dog whistling for far-right populist parties all over EU.

Last episode I was already thinking it, and the opening scene confirmed it: if the broken Spanish won't tip the guy off, the angry swearing will. And I really enjoy the slow pace and character building. A few really nice details:

• The heroin. Carol is an alcoholic, clearly off the wagon, abd we learn she used to do heroin in college. Not giving in to the brown baggie takes a hell of a lot of resolve, and tells us (me at least) that she sees a good way forward.

• Testing the truth serum on herself first. Shows that she is, or at least likes to see herself as a good person at heart. She deeply regrets the grenade episode, instructive as it may have been.

• The whiteboard. Great way to mark a turning point for the character. Up until then she was searching for someone to fix the world. This is the moment she realises it is only up to her.

I love love love this show, and Rhea is fantastic. I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea - the reviews on IMDB illustrate the point - but as a long time Philip K. Dick fan, this show hits a lot of right notes for me.

Still love the 🦊 though.

Bravo, sir, well done.

Judging through the lens of history? A common enemy, and time. If there was another workable solution to the larger problem, they would have found it by now, as many people considerable smarter than me have tried.

No outside factor can build a durable peace, unless that peace is desired from within. Strong-arm tactics from the outside lead to cease fires, not peace. The lid goes back to the pot, but the fire is still there.

Quote aside, Catherynne is a great writer and all around human being. If you like fantasy, look her up.

It looks sentient. Did it suddenly start speaking and asked for Cafiza?
