3 out of 5 people who creeped on Paige in this show have been stabbed in the neck or balls for it. Only pervert by the lake and mugger #2 outside the food pantry have gotten away with it. Trifle with Jennings women at your own peril.

I imagine that the skills that a deep cover spy has developed would make him a pretty competent business owner. Attention to detail, sharp memory, interpersonal skills, manipulation, fast thinking, strategic orientation, project management from running simultaneous operations

This video of Gretzky highlights from it is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgnzZZ7cduQ. The 2 on 1 with Gretzky and Lemieux is one of my favorite moments. The 30 for 30 on the Soviet hockey teams from that era is amazing. There were some really incredible athletes with great synergy

Earwicker posted:on the other hand it's a more chaotic time to be training and by the time she's a competent operative "the cause" will no longer exist as such. Yeah, the mentoring/training in this show has ended poorly for everyone. The kid who killed his parents had a pretty bad experience. Tuan had some missteps and isn't going to make it (in Elizabeth's professional opinion). And poor Hans was unceremoniously executed and dumped. There's not much margin for error in this spy game and Paige's parents can't swoop in to save her every time

bvlah posted:Can someone explain what that whole derail of tuition with the school official about? Is it just showing Phil's business is slowly declining? I'm not sure. I wonder if we're supposed to read that as they're getting less financial support from Directorate S and they're expected to be more self reliant. We've never seen the Jennings' have any kind of financial struggle. They live in a nice neighborhood in a well furnished house, Philip bought a Camaro essentially on an impulse, and Elizabeth and Philip have closets full of nice clothes. This could be a setup for the idea that Philip is not cut out for civilian life and the 9-5 schedule. That scene with the FBI intercepting Gennadi and Sofia was great. Loved the impotent rage and protests of their Soviet handlers. ekeog posted:more heartbreaking: ends up working with her dad against Elizabeth, after multiple seasons spent showing this special relationship they have as she's learned about Russia Could be that Gennadi and Sofia's story is foreshadowing something like this. Stan dropped a truthbomb on Gennadi that there's no scenario in which he gets to see his son again because the three of them need to go into hiding and Sofia wants a divorce.

I don’t remember their story except that they used to sleep together. Tatiana was working the bioweapons thing, on higher orders keeping it a secret from both Arkady and the rest of the office. Oleg got Stan's office working on it, which led to William's arrest and got Arkady sent back to the USSR.

ed even though he had nothing to do with this simply because he's not supposed to be there and it's a convenient way for the Rezidentura to dispose of him by making him the patsy.

I really don't get Elizabeth's angle. I think she's trying to teach her spycraft for dummies so she knows how to handle working with the KGB and how to avoid the FBI, in preparation for the ultimate score of having a clean background and getting legitimate clearance with a sensitive organization like the CIA, FBI or State Department. But Paige seems to think she gets to be a baby spy doing the same stuff as mom and dad but that's really, really not the point.

I don't think the toast was out of character at all for Stan. He's a rah-rah turned up patriot because he's getting all amped up working with the old crew hot on the trail of an illegal, closing the net on some other spies.

dwarf74 posted:Also, was this the first episode of the season where Liz hasn't dropped a body? I had to look it up to check, but yeah, this is her first (though her mean is still above 1 per episode!) In "Dead Hand", she stabbed that poor navy kid in the neck. In "Tchaikovsky", she shoots the Air Force general point blank. In "Urban Transport Planning", she kills the warehouse supervisor guy when doing the fake security audit in the last moments of the episode. In "Mr and Mrs Teacup", she does the warehouse mission and shoots the 3 security guys. In "The Great Patriotic War", she kills Gennadi and Sofia. She didn't kill anyone in "Rafifi" So that's 8 in 6 episodes, slow down Liz

esperterra posted:I think so. As cold and calculating as Elizabeth is, it's very clear how much she loves Philip, and now Paige. 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. Yeahhhh. The original, not terrible plan was to have her be a mole in the State Department in deep cover, rather than be a second generation illegal operating the exact same way. The discussion was definitely an invitation to quit, but if she's going to continue, she needs to go through the channels that only she has access to (a free and clear background check to work for the government). Elizabeth has probably known that for a while, but maybe it took killing 2 FBI agents and leaving a van with a cyanide poisoned asset and a headless and handless Marilyn to remind her about how Paige's inexperience and mistakes will get her killed. LinkesAuge posted:hmm that Stan gets now suspicious feels forced. He didn't really get new information he didn't have before but suddenly he starts to remember things that have always been there? It feels more like the writers just pushed the "Stan finally puts things together" button but without really backing it up within the show, it honestly feels kind of lazy. I'm not too impressed with the overall pacing of this season, it seemed they were building up tension between Liz and Philipp but then decided to release much of it again. I don't know, I think the timing is OK. When he was deep in counterintelligence, he was so occupied with all the day to day work and his family falling apart that he never gave it a second thought. Plus, remember, Stan did try breaking into the garage in the very first episode. It feels like a natural break. He's getting back into the counterintelligence game with all that experience, but no more distractions. He's something of an outsider, with a lot of inside knowledge. I would have thought that politics would be a bigger factor, but P&E really don't trust anything in the American media

Stan figures out that they are Soviet spies. Instead of turning them in, he does the neighborly thing and invites himself over, takes a beer from their fridge, and asks them to please stop spying. Stan is no snitch.

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
