Hastings tho…

At the end

The ambiguity

I dislike

I’d be shook I tell you son

He always looks shifty. Has been shifty. I mean, it's not like Roz was wrong about how poorly he treats the women and poc on his staff. Plus are we sure he didn't put The Caddy onto the team last season, looked like to me iirr. And why would he drop the ball on that investigation? I am suss

Can you believe Jamie had a gun and Hastings still refused to call Jamie by his real name

Well it sure made it extra confusing because of the two James, aka Jimmy Lakewell & Jamie

Once again Line of Duty has me on the edge of my seat by with nothing more than four people in a room having a chat. 

Every season I have the same thought, just blows me away that they can pull it off. Especially those episodes where I realise I've just watched almost an hour of four people sitting at a table in a small room talking. Great acting, great writing, great direction

Let’s play the following “chaos game”. Consider a regular triangle and take some initial point in it. Now pick one of the three vertices at random, connect it with the current point, and mark this line’s midpoint as the new point. If you repeat this process many times, what will the resulting shape look like? You might expect to find the points simply shattered everywhere, without much structure, but surprisingly, the points will in fact create a Sierpinski fractal.

There are lots of variations on this theme, some of which can be found on this Wikipedia page.
