I thought of that when I said it. Wanted to see him at Okeechobee, but picked MacDemarco instead. Sorry not sorry.

I'm actually willing to take this on face value based on the precedent of the insane personality disfunction that is the cabinet and administration.

Discovered this guy at Okeechobee and have spent the last 3 months hooked on his catalogue. Def see him live if you get a chance.

I was speaking figuratively, but yeah I see your point. They're probably on here the moment she walks out the door.

Clearly you've never watched Mad Men whilst indulging in some sticky. Yeah it makes everything more interesting but I swear it unlocks another mind blowing level to that show.

Oh if Phillip wasn't so vehement about her being taken care of I wouldn't be surprised if they had.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Hell I wouldnt be surprised if she marched right up to the US Embassy and knocked on the door.

I'm not sure the Jennings ever end up back in Russia, I mean what are we in 1985 or 6 now? The Glasnost movement is about to emerge right as this show is serving up heavy doses of Oleg realizing just how fucked up things are. No one believes in Soviet Russia…even is father is just another victim of forced coercion.…

I think it's fairly obvious Martha understands she should have been smart enough to see what was going on. Doesn't mean she shouldn't loathe how they used and discarded her.

I thought that too and that the writers are just having fun with that trope because here it actually effectively serves the plot.

I thought Gus's partner was killed years prior. Basically a 'yes you can work for us but we don't need him he's just the cook and you have the recipie' . Gus is already playing long revenge game with them.

Maybe. But it could be a writer screw up. If Im not mistaken that location in Breaking Away is pretty well known in Hoosier-land…ive heard it mentioned by at least 2 grads I met in my life.

That…but also he went back to doing it his way, and in his haste it left a poor product.
Which is the same haste that led him blindly into Chuck's trap.

For everyone wondering if Chuck's gambit renders the tape admissible in court: It's irrelevant. Chuck has him on a a standard B&E, and probably some form of assault for breaking the door in on him. Pretty sure no one wants the tape public, didn't Chuck and Hamlin agree last week that they weren't trying to separate…

"Here lies Charles McGill, and why not?"

Badgers badgers badgers badgers badgers…..

If this is a lesser show, I'd say you have a point that they're just throwing ideas at the wall. However I just took it as an illustration of the extent to which the USSR, toward the end of it's survival, was grasping at straws.

Having grown up in an evangelical household, and just about every denomination of Christianity elsewhere in my family, my guess is the church is Episcopalian or some form of independent Methodist. Plenty of socially progressive Protostant denominations out there. The Marx book makes sense as it's a standard of modern…

And then what, reverse engineer it with the tech and money they don't have? They're probably looking for 'blueprints' more than anything else. You're right it's stupid, but i took it more like 'the Soviets are stupid, they're grasping at straws'…which is what Phillip is starting to realize.

'Soldier' with Kurt Russel, Big Momma's, or Awake.
