Perhaps it's a signal that he's copped on after taking it too lax last year and we just haven't realised we're taking it too lax. I think that's definitely a possibility, I feel I'm doing less now than I was doing in November.

Like, on one level its hilarious, with some fúcking fantastic plot lines. On another level, (the nerd level) it does some interesting things with the nature of power and how a situation can change someone so completely (and when that happens, are you REALLY changed, or is it just that a really shítty part of who you are is revealed?) But yeah, its well worth a watch. It's got some really unique characters, obviously the setting means they can do some interesting things most other shows can't, and despite the prison thing, its not all dark and depressing... yeah I'll stop rambling now.
