The whole series is available on Netflix.

The Guardian's catch up blog on the series makes some interesting points about the way different characters were used (and underused).

Wired's Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast talked about the show's queer themes and the way different critics have reacted to the diversity of its cast.

Bram E Gieben at io9 points out the parallels with Philip K Dick.

On Rookie:

This week, Caroline read Rookie for the first time. She particularly enjoyed this piece about masturbation, this coming out story, and this article about eyebrows.

For next week, Anna is watching Masters of Sex. If you'd like to watch too in preparation for next week's episode, there are lots of clips on the show's YouTube channel or you can get full episodes on iTunes.
