Another ongoing thoughts post watching the episode on a delay: -Paige's naivete, albeit understandable, is irritatingly adorable. She feels like a new partner trying to learn as quickly as possible about something their SO is into. "Did you ever meet the guy who's been running The Cause for two years now even though neither of you have been back to  in years?"  -The cancer patient story feels like it could have the most hosed up ending on FX since Shane poisoned Mara and Jackson. Then again, we are watching the show with Kimmie. (e- Ayupppppp, but...I'm...glad? Thanks Liz?) howe_sam posted:
Elizabeth has two tracks in her mind: 1) "Anything for " (has any thread on SA used that emote more often than these have?)2) It's all your fault. DarklyDreaming posted:Take one of the paintings Liz. Let it haunt you for all two of the hours you have left on this earth She picked the one which looks the most like the woman living in agonizing pain she just killed looking like she's in agonizing pain. Also, the American flag on the left rear window of the wagon was a great touch. e- After all these years, Liz seems to realize she's just an expendable pawn in a much larger game and it didn't matter what happened as long as Gorbachev was removed. Are we going to get the fury of Liz being used against the machine that created it? I like how Liz was seemingly disarmed by Philip's explanation that "I was doing what was best for our country. It's what you would've done." CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 15:40 on May 17, 2018 |

I'm gonna miss it, too. I'm not asking for much, only that next week's show be an hour, and the finale stretch a reasonable amount of time - say, six, seven hours or so. e: And I think, after this episode, that Renee was a red herring all along.

dwarf74 posted:e: And I think, after this episode, that Renee was a red herring all along. Then you haven't been paying attention, this is 4 dimensional chess. Renee finally lands an interview at the FBI. Same scene, she suggests they go eat Thai food. Who else was FBI connected and appreciates Thai cuisine/culture? Frank Gaad. Five episodes after his accidental death, Renee meets Stan at the gym. Renee has a connection to Gaad, and is here to tie up his loose ends. Gaad's life started falling apart when he abused Mail Robot. She's here to seek vengeance. Actually, it would be SUPER GREAT if she lists Phillip and Elizabeth as references for her FBI background check and the scrutiny there is what ends up getting them made

canyoneer posted:"Don't worry guy, I got this. Done it a hundred times! The hard part is hands and head in a duffel bag or whole body intact in a suitcase, this one's a piece of cake by comparison" Those two scenes were more disturbing on a 'holy poo poo that's gruesome' level but watching Liz suffocate a dying woman with her paintbrush was really tough for me. I know she was already in pain and needed to die but the flailing around and wiping the paint off her face after was p. hosed up.

Curtis was one of the members of Gregory's crew back in the first season. In last week's episode, Stan mentioned that he was going to have another look into the death of the wife of an illegal - this was the wife of the fellow KGB agent who was killed during a mission with Philip and Elizabeth. This was in reference to the events that took place in the episode Gregory. I don't remember Elizabeth wearing wigs around Gregory, unless they were on a mission. One of the set designers had a giggle:

The attention to detail is astonishing on this show. A few seasons back, they correctly referenced two branch streets in my general vicinity (both of which are relatively close to Hanssen's dead drop location) as well as have dug up obscure DC area television ads like Belmont TV for random moments. And in this episode, they recreate a period-correct Roy Rogers instead of just make the guy work at 'Tony's Pizza" or something. I know they still exist in small numbers, but drat.

Philip and Elizabeth will flat-out tell Stan that they are spies in an effort to stop the Center from sabotaging the START talks. It will save the treaty but cost them their freedom. Paige and Henry become *super* hosed up.

No, as I remember she just jumped right in with the Civil Rights activists as herself and then got it on with Gregory with no disguise. She took it hard when he was killed, too. That would be a hell of a way for them to callback to the first season to bring Liz down.

Gregory "took one for the team" so that Elizabeth could get away right? It's been a minute since I watches season one, but wasn't the heat at the door and he told her to get out and while he stayed to get his ticket punched?

They were about to take him to Russia and he said he would rather get into a shootout with the police. So Philip and Elizabeth left. Then Gregory walks around until a cop spots him, then he sets up behind a car to shoot at the police.

Were they actually shooting in Chicago? I know they had a bunch of Chicago establishing shots, but the bulk of the scenes looked like “NY dressed up as Chicago” just like the rest of the show often looks like “NY (poorly) dressed up to look like DC”

Stan's "eureka moment" was "She smoked like a chimney" which is kinda funny because at that time I'm pretty sure everyone, especially in DC, smoked like a chimney Loved the 80s fanservice in this one. motherfuckin' ROY ROGERS holy poo poo, and Philip at the Dollar Video

Is there a reason that Stan did not even consider that the headless/handless corpse might have been the woman he is looking at pics of?

I binged through the first few seasons sometime last year or so and just stopped watching it the first episodes of S5. I finally got around to catching back up since there’s only two more episodes left. I really hope Kimmy doesn’t show up ever again cause that part was always just so full of cringe. What was the deal with her and Philip anyway? Like Philip’s costume obviously didn’t look like a high school student so he wasn’t trying to pretend to be one right?

The only way I could see Kimmie being brought back is in a "she casually mentioned the warning she was given to her father and he went apeshit" way. Philip's pretty much hit pure "gently caress it" at this point, and I'm sure Stavos' confession that he knew on some level that the business was a front ~for something~ from the beginning probably had to bruise Phil's ego more than a little, since it implies they aren't as good at covering their tracks as they think, and if Stavos can figure it out, who else suspects/knows something?
