I was reading reviews of Spooks s4-6

And I found it hilarious how up in arms the reviewers were over the "anti-American" bias the show has. Apparently, that's the most upsetting thing about it. Because, of course, there aren't any American shows with strong anti-Everyone Not America biases.

(that said, I don't exactly see a strong anti-America bias in the show; I see a more pro-Britain bias, which encompasses every other nationality, which, seriously, the show is... set in Britain, about the British secret service, if it weren't pro-Britain, I'd be slightly worried)

eta: also, the reviewer kept harping on about how No ONE ever has a GUN, and they obviously watched a different version than I did, since there's tons of guns (in fact, Zaf and Adam are pointing guns as I type). Also, apparently, lack of guns makes for boring television. WHO KNEW.

Of course, the problem is, then I go and re-watch some series 4 and 5 episodes, and my face is all sad. The Zaf and Ruth scenes in 5.5, OH MY TEAM, why are you so angsty. Even if I find Adam incredibly boring.

I think 4-5 are my dream team, really. Fiona, Ros, Jo, Ruth, Adam, Zaaaaf, Colin, Malcolm and Harry. They are fabulous, wonderful people, and I miss them when they're gone. (at least, s4, Adam. s5 Adam makes me eye-roll, and s6 Adam is like the most boring thing in the history of ever until s9 Lucas wanders into my field of boredom)

(also, I keep typing Adama instead of Adam)

politics, fleeeee.

So, everyone has been talking about the WI Democrats and their badassery in fleeing the state to keep the republicans from peremptorily shoving their bill through. (or, if you're on the other side, you're going on about those whiny jerks who aren't Listening To The People...)

But, anyway. The Assembly democrats are also pretty badass. Part four is the one you want.

Also, apparently the lurkers support gov. Walker in email. But, not, apparently, by going to Madison. Unless they're bussed in from out of state.
