We weren't talking about his performance this episode. The thing we were talking about was the recurring deal this season where characters establish they're a threat by easily smacking Mac out of the way, which has happened a lot. This episode goes a long way toward rehabbing Mac—a character everyone liked when he was…

He…was in his bunk.

That's one difficult layer. There's a scene where he talks to his son about his sexuality that's one of the most chilling pieces of acting I've ever seen.

Damnit, I was playing Gorf just a couple of months ago at a pinball museum. But isn't that level of Gorf just a gussied-up Galaxian ripoff?

I'm not sure it wasn't. I wonder if this is Elizabeth coming around to Gregory's point of view: she's dedicated her life, and made incredible sacrifices, for this struggle. She'd have a damn hard time abandoning the fight, because what else would give her life this kind of purpose?

Last week they had Prospect Park West near President locked down for a shoot, but whatever they filmed is likely months away from showing up on TV.

Nobody said Henry had bad taste. Except in cologne, of course, but it was the 80s!

I wonder if it could work, though. I mean, Phil and Elizabeth disappear, someone from the Centre approaches Paige and reveals to them that the CIA captured their parents…that's not the worst recruitment pitch ever. It would exploit Paige's guilt over telling Pastor Tim.

If spying doesn't work out, she has a heck of a future selling Mary Kay products!

They might hesitate to call the Centre because the Centre's ideas about how to handle an accidental infection might be unacceptably draconian. I'm fairly certain their instructions wouldn't have been "Meet our germ warfare spy in the park and infect him, then go back together to the safehouse and hole up there," so…

Sorry. My hands hovered over the keyboard for a long second wondering if this was unfair to remind people of, spoiler warning or no.

Yeah, as long as they get to bring Galaxian to Odessa, Henry will barely notice the move…

Yeah, that is the rub in that interpretation. But I don't think that Anton's letter was saying that he didn't know about about Nina sending the letter (that wouldn't help her, in the lawyer's eyes) I think it was a character reference about how invaluable a help she's been. So my suspicion is that Nina's dream is her…

Also, I think the William chase might've been filmed at Prospect Park.

Philip was the one who really looked ready to jump across the table and snap Tim's neck.

One interpretation of Nina's dream could be that she's realized that Anton is going to give himself up to save her. Anton seemed quite resigned to his fate the last time we saw him, and he may figure that Nina shouldn't have to die as well.

I really never knew that I needed to see an action/chase scene with Dylan Baker. On foot. But it turns out that I did.

[SPOILERS, do NOT read if you avoid the promos.]

Could be, but their contact is unconscious. Unless they contact the Centre, there's no way for anyone to know they didn't go away. Philip, Elizabeth, and William may be reluctant to do that (there's no indication they reported in before contacting and infecting William).

Nah. I'm betting those plans are already made, and Pastor Tim's gonna get it while P&E are in quarantine with William and Gabriel. We saw in S1 how difficult it is for the KGB to call off a hit. It'll look to Paige like they snuck away to kill Mr. and Mrs. Pastor Tim, rather than to keep a bioweapon outbreak contained.
