Brutal episode last night. I could have done without the clumsy 'kids in jeopardy' thing...but, the Embassy stuff was well done and we're once again looking at a rift between Phil and Elizabeth...and this one seems bad.
The only thing I liked about that story was that they left it so you don't know if that guy was just kinda creepy or a flatout psycho.Quentin said:I could have done without the clumsy 'kids in jeopardy' thing...
I don't care that they're separated other than the fact that it adds uninteresting story lines with the bland kids.Quentin said:Yeah...it was an intense episode...but, I'm not sure how engaged I am if they are separating. I thought it was more interesting to see them begin to connect after years of a fake marriage than to see them separate. We'll see how it deals with it going forward.
Very much so. The early 80s is a great period to set a story (partially) about relationships, marriage, divorce, and children.DaveF said:This show is about their relationship as much as it is about spying.
Same here. That seemed like the big thing that would lead into the finale.DaveF said:I expected the Amadore plot, monitoring Martha, to last the season. The cleanup from his murder, likewise. Nope. Done, two episodes.
Yeah, pretty interesting. It doesn't feel like they want to get too involved with long term serial plot lines. Then again, they could surprise us with something in the last episodes of the season. Still need to see what happens with Stan and his pretty asset...and, I'm curious what happens with Philip and Elizabeth's marriage.TravisR said:Same here.

See, that's probably the one thing about the show I don't care about. I could care less if they're together or not. Just pick something and let's move on. Then again, maybe I prefer they just stay together so we don't have the kids complaining every episode.Quentin said:I'm curious what happens with Philip and Elizabeth's marriage.
When he walking down the street smoking a cigarette, he passed a cop who recognized him and radioed in.Scott Hanson said:Did I miss how they were put on to him? Did his guy give him up?
No I mean before that, when the FBI showed the picture of him as the guy they were targeting. How did he become a target?TravisR said:When he walking down the street smoking a cigarette, he passed a cop who recognized him and radioed in.
The guy from the industrial district IDs Gregory's associate from the book. Stan and crew haul the associate in for questioning. It turns out the associate isn't a "true believer," so Stan gets him to flip on Gregory (this occurs off-screen, and must be inferred by the viewer). The KGB figures out the FBI is on to Gregory (the exact details of this also occur off-screen, but given what we have seen so far, it is very believable). Unwilling to be ex-filtrated, and with inculpatory forensic evidence planted his house, Gregory sacrifices himself to the cause.Scott Hanson said:No I mean before that, when the FBI showed the picture of him as the guy they were targeting.

Okay, yeah, this is what I was wondering and what I assumed. Just wasn't sure if I missed if it was spelled out for the viewer. I like that they didn't spell it out.Josh Dial said:It turns out the associate isn't a "true believer," so Stan gets him to flip on Gregory (this occurs off-screen, and must be inferred by the viewer).
