Her parents legality would probably hold up just fine. They're small business owners for decades.

Although it's always good to remember that sometimes it's the more brittle people who break more easily. He's used to living with doubt.

It's not a stretch. No reason to think Martha wasn't treated with respect and given thanks when she showed up. That was the point Philip was making to her, that people would understand and appreciate her sacrifice, not that she'd be queen. She's been given the means to make a life in Moscow because of her…

15-year-old girl.

But they DID keep their promise. Martha has a life in the Soviet Union. When Philip said she'd be treated as a hero he didn't mean she'd be given constant ticker-tape parades and a suite in the Winter Palace. He meant she'd be given a life and help out of respect. She's shopping at the special store, even if that…

I think people exaggerate this whole "nobody cares about Henry but Dad's his adopted father" thing. We have seen shots of Elizabeth and Philip playing with Henry. We've heard them talk about him when he's not there, overseeing his life the way parents would. They check on him when they get home late, ask where he is…

Yeah, it was funny when they were like "maybe the bugs could infect nearby crops!" without thinking "Probably not smart keeping them in a barn in the middle of US farmland then, huh?"

I assumed if it actually happened they'd just avoid it and say Mischa speaks enough English to communicate freely.

I agree about Philip's attitude vs. Elizabeth.

I always hoped that it was also a subtle nod to him being the Russian version of country, which I think is true, since he's from Siberia.

Why wait for Mischa? Henry will always be #1 son to Philip.

I think she is having those things. Being taken care of doesn't mean she wouldn't go grocery shopping herself!

What about Karen, Elizabeth's AA buddy? I'd say that was an unplanned kill.

It was funny when P&E praised him for his fake gutterball, just assuming it was fake. Maybe he actually does suck at bowling!

Philip's kill count has always been higher.

Like people call white, ribbed, sleeveless undershirts "wife beaters." It's short for "thing that is worn by the person it is named for."

No. The opposite was implied. It was basically stated outright. There was never any reason to think Martha was being double-crossed or sent to her death. Tatiana had her own thing going on with the rat.

Martha was wearing the dyed skin of an old woman on her head.

No, I think the idea is definitely that both those schedules are the same. Paige is still seeing Pastor Tim as often as possible, Philip is still seeing Kimmy every few weeks. But if nothing specific is going on there we don't see it.

I note that Elizabeth's childhood flashbacks tend to be whole scenes with dialogue and a clear meaning. Philip's barely had any flashbacks to any time before he met Elizabeth, but those he has had have always been without dialogue for the most part, and often dream-like in flashes. Makes it seem like they're maybe…
