the nomness

Whoa, remember when my plan was to review/post/cap the new episodes of The Thick Of It in a somewhat timely fashion? Yeah, well…fuck off, shit got real for a minute. And it’s not like I haven’t been watching, and listening, and dreaming… Let’s put it down to a visual distraction from actual thought and leave it at that. Now, onto the issue of the day – episode two of the (no longer quite as) new series of TTOI. Le sigh. I love having/creating an excuse to rewatch this intensely.

So. The premise of Ep 2 is a data loss incident/kerfuffle/media strategy within DoSAC, further underscoring the department’s complete ineptitude at being able to handle even the slightest bit of responsibility. If this weren’t enough, Nicola manages to break the story herself to the press following a Guardian meetup intended to introduce “the real Nicola.” Well, they met her alright. Upon finding out what she’s done Malcolm rages against Nicola and his own seatbelt almost equally, giving me some quite serious bondage brain fodder. And then……eh, fuckit, now I just wanna look at the pretteh.
