This was an exceptionally excellent episode! I particularly enjoyed the articles on Grand Chancellor Maryk and Sikozu. In fact, I think that the article on Sikozu is very aptly named. Although while listening to it, KRAD's comment from a few episodes back about her looking like Sheena Easton echoed in my head, and I couldn't help but snicker.
I also really liked seeing things from 2 different points of view when it came to the Grand Chancellor. After listening to it, I couldn't help but notice certain parallels between Maryk and Cornelius Fudge from the "Harry Potter" novels. Although, one thing in favor of Maryk is that he's nowhere near as big a bumbling fool as Fudge was. At least, I think so. Maryk actually acknowledges from the get-go that there's a big threat to his people, and they know about it, too. Fudge tried covering up that there's any threat at all, and it finally takes actually seeing Lord Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic to finally acknowledge to his people that there's a big threat out there. But both of them had an adverseness to hardship and violence that eventually caused them to be removed from their respective offices. Only in Maryk's case, his life was also taken as well as his position.
I also can't believe you brought back the
Torchwood joke from last episode's Tralk Talk for this week's, but that's all right. It still makes me laugh, no matter how many times I hear it.
Although, I guess I should be thankful that you guys haven't gone so far as to find a way to incorporate that exchange between Captain Jack and Gwen regarding "alien meat" in Tralk Talk yet...
Well, keep up the superb work! I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for us next!

P.S. Saw the variant cover for "D'Argo's Lament". D'Argo looks so badass in that pic...
