It was kinda stretching the suspension of disbelief that a beefy guy who worked in a factory would be that intimidated by a petite woman, crowbar or no. They should have had him be an older, slighter dude or had Elizabeth carrying a gun. Otherwise great episode. Is this available online anywhere legal that doesn't charge? I'm also really looking forward to when the show reaches the USSR collapsing under it's own weight. So far the KGB had been depicted as pretty unfailingly competent, assassin fuckup excepted, so seeing that support network degrade rapidly and then disappear is gonna be pretty interesting.

I really like the Navy SEAL guy. It's about time they crossed paths with someone as dangerous as they are that they can't run circles around.

Fetus Tree posted:Criminal to whom? In response to the abduction and murder of a FBI agent on American soil. Neither side on this show has any claim to the moral high ground, which is one of the better things about it.

A bunch of KGB higher ups caught onto capitalism real quick and started selling files to the highest bider. Not to mention the files of sister services like the Stasi were analyzed with a fine tooth comb as their HQs literally fell. Come to think of it that would be a pretty great ending. They do everything right, live lonely and alienating existences, never even get close to being caught by Beeman or the FBI, and then it all goes to poo poo because some Colonel realizes that he just lost his pension, and hey, everyone else is doing it. Also yea, Beecher SEAL is awesome, it's great that they finally have an antagonist just as competent and ruthless as they are.

I would watch a show that was just gay SEAL dude ruthlessly eliminating KGB while trying to keep his orientation and the fact that he'd betrayed information to them secret.

Yeah the KGB itself didn't think a collapse was imminent, and when it was they panicked and straight up attempted a coup that probably actually accelerated the fall of USSR. The August 1991 coup is something I'm really looking forward to seeing depicted in the show. Stuff like glasnost and perestroika were incredibly controversial among soviet hard-liners, so they could very plausibly spin Elizabeth and Philip falling out over it.
