I'm drawing a blank ranjake. ?? I bet one of the recaps covers it though. PTV usually is a "this and then this and then this happened" in a pretty thorough, occasionally witty way. Try theirs?

I know. I keep promoting the show wherever I can. People who don't watch are really missing a great show. Drives me nuts.
Phillip meets the Strangler there? I'll look around, thanks. I think he actually says the name of where they are to meet, and I just miss that bit each time. I just wondered if it was a famous actual property in the DC/Virginia area.

I've been thinking about it.

There is no way in hell the KGB is going to entrust a 14 year old hormonal teenager with two of their successful deep cover assets' security. It would be stupid beyond belief, and they already had the fucked up Jared op.

So, the reason for hunky new trainee is that HE will be asked to recruit Paige after Elizabeth "softens her up enough."

Elizabeth is going to be pissed. I think she thinks she will be the one to tell Paige, and to recruit her, and they can share cozy momma daughter talks about ideology. WHY would the KGB do that? Take that kind of huge chance?

So, I think they will muzzle Elizabeth and Philip about talking to Paige about their service in the KGB. They will want Philip and Elizabeth to report back if Paige should tell them. To me, that would mean she's untrustworthy after all, although the KGB might try to salvage it, instead of just kill Paige in an "accident."

So, if I'm right and this plays out, Elizabeth is going to end up as furious as Philip already is. She still won't be able to have "real" talks with Paige, she'll still have to hide what she does, and also let Paige have a very loose rein.

Oy. I hope Phillip doesn't end up sleeping with the 15 year old.

Well, the actress is 21, and they went there before with the boy child of the other spies...

This actor needs an award, he looks physically sick at this year's stories.

I'm watching. I must admit I've been confused at times with some people. Two weeks ago in the take down I didn't know what was going down. Maybe I got distracted the week before and missed something. I'm usually great at following all these shows but I was lost there for a moment. Philip has been amazing. Can't stand Elizabeth. But that's her character

I adore this show, just don't post about it here because so few are watching and posting about it here.

The AV club and others that review this show, Arts Beat from the NYT, etc. write GREAT reviews. It's a show you really have to pay attention to or it's easy to get lost, kind of like early seasons Alias, or Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. I love that about it!

I usually do but been sick off and on. My dh watches and loves it but he's legally blind so he can see the big TV but not great. I have to read the subtitles out loud to him so I miss half of that just reading them aloud. Like the Nina takedown of her cell mate I love when subtitles are in German or French since he speaks them so I don't have to read them

I just have a very hard time with the whole tell Paige stuff, oh and then just leave her alone all day to blow everything sky high if her hormones act up. It's not as if Liz and Phil know how to tap a phone or set up surveillance without her catching on or anything.

Oh, I agree! I thought that they were crazy to leave her alone, and I'm shocked she didn't spill to the Pastor (yet!). I think it's only a matter of time- I'm thinking this season's finale cliffhanger. I don't think Paige is going to agree that Russia is a great, misunderstood place just because Elizabeth tells her it is ...

I think you're right. Don't KNOW if I think Elizabeth is evil- I guess sometimes? There is such a single-mindedness in the immigrants I know from Russia (I mean now)- I wish I knew how to describe it better, but I recognize it in Elizabeth so much.
