Mad gravitas and he is from small town Minnesota right down the road from Fargo.  Wonderful actor!

It was a bit of a joke.

Yep I think you might be fairly lonely in your opinion.  Try watching the Pilot again because there is a lot to catch and it might just pull you in on the second viewing.  Its better than 99.5 % of any other tv show right now.

I dunno I think I have gone thru all of those feelings  and back again in my marriage in a single afternoon.  Marriage is complicated even without being in the KGB.

Fantastic show.  The performances are outstanding all around.  Was not familiar with Matthew Rhys before but he gives the most compelling performances from dorky suburban dad to ruthless KGB in a nano second.  Who knew Felicity was such a badass.
