This show is amazing and I am very loving happy it's back. I was never too worried about the timeskip and I think they executed it perfectly here. The spent five years developing these characters so well that it's easy to fill in the gaps in a three year skip, like it's easy as hell to infer what a Phillip out of the business would be like in that time, or Elizabeth working double time or Paige continuing to be groomed to be an agent, etc. The only character who really needed much exposition for what happened between was Oleg and imo that was handled just fine. Really looking forward to how this season develops. Pitting the two against eachother has always seemed like it would be the endgame at some point so I hope they deliver. That Chekhov's Cyanide Capsule is gna make me nervous all season. e: I loved the feeling that everyone at the agency seems kind of annoyed Phillip is always there now esperterra fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Mar 29, 2018 |

I'm thinking (and honestly hoping) he might not really find out until poo poo goes horribly wrong and either Phillip or Elizabeth are dead.

TheCenturion posted:Also, I can never EVER get over how much of my childhood they keep evoking. They nail the 80s aesthetics so good. I just love how understated it is. They don't go for the flashy 'look it's the 80's!' aesthetic and I've always loved the show for that. Just looks like normal rear end people and homes/etc looked back then.

canyoneer posted:I really feel like Stan's girlfriend is going to become a problem for the Jennings. I don't want to get too committed to that idea though because they might be trying to trick me! Double posting but you mentioning her made me remember the moment where Elizabeth is listening to the girls talking to eachother about how hard it is to talk to Stan and Dennis about their jobs b/c they never really tell them anything, and all I could think was how Phillip is basically also one of those FBI wives. god I love this show e: ^^ and they don't overdo the references like something like Stranger Things did, which nailed the more laid back and normal aesthetic of the 80s instead of the flashy poo poo, but was always kind of winking and nodding at something

At one point I was sure they'd employ timeskips to have this show end with the wall falling, or something, but in retrospect I'm glad they didn't go that route. Seems too obvious. Who knows though we may still have another timeskip ahead of us before this season is done.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Uh, from what I saw Elizabeth forced the gun in the General's hand under his chin, and forced him to pull the trigger. Paige wasn't armed, and if she had been, it would've completely invalidated setting the scene up as a suicide. I took it as him willing to kill himself to maybe kill her, and her barely avoiding it. But yeah it definitely wasn't Paige. Show's so drat good.

Selachian posted:Yeah, it seems like Elizabeth flat out lying to Paige about using sex is something that's gonna come back on her. "Oh, and did I mention that your dad spent a couple of years being another woman's fake husband?" tbf she seemed to come around on it a little bit, on telling her the truth. Just in a roundabout way. 'Well, when you have to get that close to someone to get or learn something then sometimes you cross a line ...' and her basically admitting 'yeah I've hosed people for work' when Paige asks if she's heard stories of other agents doing it, and Elizabeth saying she isn't in contact with other people and doesn't hear stories.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Speaking of which, Phil's "gently caress!" was used masterfully. 100%. That whole scene was great. This episode is great. And this call between Elizabeth and Henry? Good poo poo. As much as I like to dunk on the show for how non-existent Henry was for much of the show or how overlooked he was by Phil and Elizabeth, it's paying off in spades this season. The time skip has worked wonders in so many ways.

I haven't been watching the promos at all, but I appreciate it 100% if they're doing the Mad Men thing of just making promos that either make no sense or make it look like something big is going to happen between two characters who end up not even interacting.

Now his best friend is the son of a russian spy, and he is also real good friends with that russian spy. I hope Henry and Stan's bromance survives the fallout. Assuming Stan is still alive when this show is over.

And the reason Renee seems so suspicious is because she's been on it the whole time, their meet-cute and courtship at the gym was all to bamboozle Phil.

I don't think she wants her to end up as miserable as he is, and can see p clearly that's almost definitely what Paige has in store if she commits. This episode was satisfying in ways I cannot even begin to articulate!!

Plus I think a big part of Stan's becoming suspicious something is up, maybe he was right about these two way back when, is realizing just how little he knows about this man he calls his best friend. And just how little Henry knows about his parents lives before having him. That combined w/ the timing of their running off when this Chicago thing was going down, as well as the myriad other suspicous things about the family over the years, and his clearer, fresher mind due to being at a more lowkey job these past three years is the perfect storm for Stan to start looking at them sideways.

HUGE SPACEKABLOOIE posted:That was nothing compared to the time Elizabeth folded up the body of that woman and stuffed 100% of her into carry on sized rolling luggage. Yeah, I don't think the 'going to hell' scene was the parking garage scene from this episode, because lol when Phil and Liz stuffed that body in a suitcase was way worse. I think something might happen to Paige. or the mail robot ofc

Let's not forget Stan knows what it's like to do horrible things for your country. He was a deep undercover agent, himself! Much of what Phil was saying was resonating with him 100%.

Stan letting them go just worked in so many ways for me. He loves them. Phil has been his best friend for over 7 years ... but also working the relationship as a spy would. He loves Henry. He relates to doing horrible things for your country. The whole Gorbachev thing and stopping him being taken down is a whole 'greater good' sort of thing where if he doesn't let them go, there's that slim chance it's going to end up making things worse between their countries. It isn't the first time he's given Russian agents some sort of slack due to his own personal feelings for them, or personal feelings for someone they also cared about. Plus I'm sure he's shellshocked to learn his suspicions were actually true, and this family he's been so close with for so long has been working against his country under his nose the whole time. There's so much going on in the scene ugh it's so good. It's a great culmination of these past seven years imho. Stan letting them go or not wasn't what made me feel tense in that garage scene. I thought he would and it felt right. What kept me tense was waiting for Elizabeth to potentially do something stupid and go for his gun in the event it looked like Phil talking Stan down wouldn't work. e: ^^ I was sure the train would pull away and Liz and Phil would see Paige being escorted away with police who had identified her. It was such a gut punch to see her standing on the platform alone. It felt so right. ugh the whole episode felt so right!! esperterra fucked around with this message at 20:58 on May 31, 2018 |
