Could be a week, if she went by air, via third country. Passport control not as stringent then as it is now.

Tired of Mad Men. GOT always fun.

Money is a big motivator for treason. Probably more than sex or ideology.

Yeah, that's the subtext. Always present never explicitly articulated.

I will lose all respect for Philip if he sleeps with her.

I thought this was a brilliant episode. Very tense, all the plot points converging. Things are about to blow.

Boyd's gift with language, in stark contrast to his outlaw actions, makes him one of the most memorable characters in TV history. and WG's performance is brilliant.

I knew someone who's Dad was CIA. She wasn't told. Didn't find out until well into her 20s.

Keri's Russian was pretty bad.

Someone's going to break soon.

Interesting parent substitutes in this episode Tim/Paige, Philip/Kimmy, Stan/Henry

One name — Blagojevich, ex-IL governor serving jail time for demanding quid pro quo on appointment to Senate replacement for Obama after 2008.

Time switching and delays have really made it difficult to follow the show. Plus Kalinda's character has been very poorly written for a while. Feels like the writers have run out of gas, and the network is not adequately supporting the show.

Boyd will be killed. Ava, too. Hope Loretta kills Boon.

Entertainment perfectly executed, with vivid characters, amazing dialogue (!), fast-paced plot, twists, surprises, and strong thematic underpinning (nature of evil, rural poverty, American/Western archetypes). One of most brilliant series ever made for TV.

What choice does he have? Suicide is the only out.

Desperately trying to preserve some semblance of status quo…as well as her life and freedom from prison.

Right before he shoots her.

Not James Bond, for sure.
