The Waldo Moment
Comedian Jamie Salter voice of Waldo (a foul mouthed, cartoon, blue bear) gets talked into using the bear to heckle incumbent politician Liam Monroe during an election. Liam pushes back at his employer's demands but keeps doing his job, heckling Monroe, until Salter decides he's had enough. His employer takes over the character and turns Waldo into a worldwide phenomenon.
Thoughts
Tobias Menzies played the part of Liam Monroe. I know him best from HBO's Rome, where he played the part of Brutus, but I may have seen him in a few other things. I didn't recognize any of the other actors in this episode.
There are a couple of other characters in this episode that seem like they might play an important role in the way it ends but their subplots just seem to end uneventfully. It's all about Jamie and what happened to him.
Once again I am underwhelmed by an episode of this show. I was tempted to watch it more closely than I did but I don't think that I would have got any more out of it that way around.
