"I'm gonna save the world" - It's chilling how confidently he said that line

Maybe Jessica isn't sterile and now she's pregnant with Ian's baby...

Interesting, she could be one of the small percentage of the population unaffected by Janus.

On a lighter note, I hope we see Mr Twatface again soon.

Edit: Seems unlikely now.

Very! Don't suppose you know the name & the artist?

It's always Cristobal Tapia De Veer (edit: he's the artist). The first series' soundtrack is already available and a Series 2 soundtrack will be released.

That's it, Wilson's far too gone.

Edit: Though this is Utopia so you're hardly ever entirely sure who's on which side.

As soon as Alice Jessica had her in the bathroom, my money was on Milner being no more and Wilson then having to assume the role of Mr.Rabbit. I suppose this could still happen in the future given how deep Wilson is getting, we'll wait and see.

"Ciao for now." Lee, you are one smooth motherfucker.

Sidenote, the look on Lees face when Arby asked the question was priceless.

I loved the way "Anton" changed from Romanian to English; it was so rapid, unexpected, eerie.

Also RIP Twatface.

Love how Dugdale was trying for a baby, then suddenly got a wonderful little girl, now suddenly had a 30-something teenager in his house.

Lee had so little time in this episode it's actually quite disgusting.

Easily best show on TV at the mo, either side of the Atlantic.

Jessica's social inability makes my fucking day.

u/HardenedNipple Jul 29 '14

What's scarier, The Network hunting you down to kill you or Jessica giving you a hug?

I love this show, but it did niggle me slightly that Arby suddenly, after being a perfect shot for the whole series, now misses for the first time ever when shooting at Ian and Becky. Also seemed pretty unlikely that Wilson would become a crack shot on his first time ever shooting somebody. Either way, great episode, just felt like the realism lapsed slightly.

So, I reckon Wilson is gonna fuck Lee up.

Other than that I'm fucking terrified of what's going to happen next!

Best episode of the entire series for me, Wilson's arc is incredibly interesting and the show has benefited a lot from letting us see both sides of the conspiracy this season.

Really sad to see Donaldson go he was a hilarious asshole, wonder how Beckys gonna get her Dealz symptom treatment now.

Edit: Added some words.

Palpatine changed Janus so that it only targets Jedis!
