My top fives

First, an interesting read, courtesy of Mark Ruffalo's twitter: Revenge of the Introvert. Relevant to your interests, I expect, for many of you.

Second, if you are not watching The Americans, WATCH THE AMERICANS. Seriously. This show is incredible. Last night's episode on the Reagan assassination attempt was fascinating - even knowing how it all turns out (spoiler: he doesn't die), it still manages to explore angles by focusing on how our perceptions and history affect our reactions to events, with the Soviets - and Elizabeth, in particular - anticipating a coup d'etat because that's typically what happened when Russian leaders were assassinated, not realizing that that sort of thing just doesn't happen in the U.S. It also neatly illustrates the difference between Elizabeth and Philip, whose instincts on this are a lot better than hers because he's become so immersed in American culture - i.e. the very same thing that made him a liability as a KGB spy in the pilot.

Okay, on to my top five lists.
