* This is one of the reasons I love this trilogy. "The Hunger Games Masterfully Explores Trauma:" http://www.fandomfollowing.com/hunger-games-masterfully-explores-trauma/
* Shameless Season 3: Mandy and Mickey Milkovich break my heart, over and over. I absolutely am not excusing or endorsing the horrible things they've done (his gay bashing and partner violence, and that terrible thing she did to Karen for example), I'm just saying I look at the desperation, terror, and despair in their faces and it's very real to me and intensely familiar. Again, not condoning, but boy do I understand where it comes from. Those young actors act the shit out of those scenes, the the writing is spot on. They just keep ripping my heart out over and over.

* I've moved on to season 3 of TNG, despite still missing two episodes of season two.
-In the premiere, "Evolution" they end up debating the sentience of a machine based life form. It's nice to see the theme threading through. So Wesley Crusher made a new intelligent life form and a whole new civilization that Star Fleet needed to give a planet for his final project. What grade did he get? How do you even grade that?
- Re: The Ensigns of Command. Why doesn't the Federation possess NBC/CBRN suits? They are 1950's tech, though obviously they'd want to be using a later model. Just saying.
I do like them revisiting Data's humanity and lack thereof in both his inability to love and in Picard's noticing his creativity (Double meaning of combining violin techniques and his solution on the planet).
