Still the most chilling line, delivery and (non-)reaction of the series to me.

But Philip only killed him after Elizabeth revealed Zhukov to be her rapist - it was a show of his commitment to her. Until that point, Philip was content to just turn Zhukov over or give him back to the US as a bargaining chip to help the Jenningses defect.

I doubt it - they've been close friends since the Academy and even if there was an attraction, neither would ever hurt Amy in that way.

Very pointedly so.

Her 'war crimes' were the acts of a scared teenager (no coincidence the same age as Paige) crushed by the violence and deprivation around her. They had to get her blind drunk the first time. You could barely describe her actions as a choice; she had no more decision in the matter than any other child soldier.

It's a reference to The Middleman, one of ABC Family's/Freeform's earliest original series which starred Morales and was created by Javier Grillo-Marxuach.

No one can say that you do not have friends.

It played like an abused older child volunteering to take the abuse in order to keep the younger one safe.

Which made me flash back to the time Elizabeth woke Paige up in the middle of the night to clean the floor in "Martial Eagle". Elizabeth at that time was making the point that being an adult means doing things you don't want to do.

True, but outside of being Tarantino's later period muse, most of his English language work is exactly the Euro villain stuff slyfox mentioned - Spectre, Tarzan, Water for Elephants, The Green Hornet.

She's moved on to the semi-retired 'diva in residence in Las Vegas' phase of her career (see Dion, Celine and Carey, Mariah).

If it's not hidden evil, it's self-denial and unfulfilled dreams in an effort to appear as happy as everyone else seems to be (but who are also lying to themselves).

St. Paul's in Concord, NH is probably the most well known "St." boarding school in New England, but it could just be a generically named stand-in (see "St. Luke's" in School Ties).

Her hair is naturally curly - it's the same in the Sin City sequel.

It's the nickname of their local park, Druid Hill, in Baltimore.

I'm not saying there wasn't cable; I just don't think Paige was flipping through that many.

I replied in another thread: that patch is covering the hole she made when she put her rapist's​ head through the wall in the pilot.

"Here, Bray’s camera follows Elizabeth’s gaze as she focuses on a patch of drywall over Paige’s right shoulder, holding there for a long moment before she begins to speak."

There were only maybe a half dozen channels - she just kept aimlessly cycling through (you can hear the same commercial pick up at different points).

You and me are the queen bees, Brendon!
