Yes, though he is treated as a friend and a valuable team member by the other two leads (and gets the girl of the week fairly often).
And he’s not a creep, which is better than The Big Bang Theory.

On the other hand, Jared Padelecki playing Tahmoh Penikett playing Sam…
Hilarious and right on point.

I mean, he’s tall, which matters on a show populated with 6 footers.

I think he’s meant to be mysterious. Or possibly ominous.
He mostly seems faintly baffled.

And here’s Tahmoh Penikett.
I loved Helo (GalΓ‘ctica), I quite liked Ballard (Dollhouse), but he still belongs to the one note school of acting.

Yes, I think so too

Goodness, yes.
These connections are so important

I’m reading Nnedi Okorafor’s Death of the Author, which among many other things deals with the loss of a parent. So that’s probably why this is on my mind.
Wider family tell me I’m like my mum. My father, who dislikes me, insists I’m not.

Perhaps it’s a way of holding her close.

I wonder sometimes how it is I can channel my mother’s warmth and positivity when talking to friends but never when talking to myself.
Oh, intellectually I know why. And yet…

But so satisfying

I clearly spend far too much time with occultists. Watching #Supernatural (s3 e10) my first thought was to sigh heavily at the lack of correct protocols when attempting dream-walking.
I don’t think that’s the response the writers intended!

Aside from watching Supernatural, I’m also rewatching Riptide. For a show from the mid 80s, there’s a lot of female β€” or possibly gay male β€” gaze.
Which is interesting.

The office manager has arrived.
Miss Telzey is a very thorough supervisor.

#KeirStarmer your anti-immigrant policies are heartless, cruel and a disgrace to the #LabourParty. I’m ashamed of you as prime minister.
I’m a hereditary Labour activist. I cleave to true Labour values. Why are you betraying us?

No 10 tells Labour MPs it expects support for tough new asylum policies Some backbenchers already opposing planned immigration crackdown seen as β€˜economically and culturally illiterate’

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees,
either
- it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents
or
- it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that.

Universal free childcare, regardless of income. Wages for housework. And no private schools boosting privilege. I would willingly pay more tax for this.

This.
And universal free healthcare

I refuse to believe that Major Briggs can be a villain. He has to on one of his missions.

First Tricia Helfer, now Don Davis. I feel Agent Cooper would be an asset to the Winchesters.
