Elizabeth came across as weirdly defensive about the whole "doing laundry" thing, in fairness. Couple that with her parents having some weird rear end schedules and a fairly recent parental separation period and I can completely buy Paige being suspicious. I just loved watching Philip laying down the law with her. He's the "nice" parent and that just made it all the more striking when he sat her down. It also helped that you couldn't tell how much of the anger was because she was snooping around their spy cover and how much was genuine parental disapproval at her lying and thinking she was smart enough to get away with it.

JohnSherman posted:Considering how wrapped up you guys have been about the warehouse scene, (Seriously, he was a loving janitor, I doubt he was willing to risk dying to protect a milling machine) I'm surprised that there hasn't been a bigger discussion regarding the Aunt scene. It was just so strange that I feel like the showrunners were hoping you wouldn't think about it too much. What exactly does that woman do the rest of the time? Is that photo of Elizabeth always hanging there, or did someone tip her off in advance? It was such a huge stretch that it pulled me out of the episode. Presumably she's just a KGB sympathiser/operative who actually lives there. When Elizabeth needed the "aunt" cover story they got a picture or two of the Jennings to put up to reinforce the story. Nothing weird about it in my mind.

It was a special kind of hosed up how Elizabeth gave an exact description of her own rape in order to convince the Navy guy of a fake rape. Effective but hosed up.

Narcissus1916 posted:So um, great episode. Was Agent Gaad demoted (well, threatened by one) because of an investigation over the death of the sniper last week or Vladimir from last season? The sniper. The Americans thought that a KGB agent nearly pulled off a high profile assassination right under their noses and are embarassed about it. Of course we know he isn't KGB and was simply a disturbed conspiracy nut but it's not like there is any benefit to them informing the FBI via Nina that they're mistaken.

Season 1 became free on Prime the same week the disc set was going to be shipped out, so I'd expect something similar with S2.
