Yeah, I heard about this film years ago and had no idea it was finally being released until seeing this review. Will definitely be checking my local theater listings.

Damn straight.

Well, the Selleck thing was definitely a gimmick, but I think it was pretty novel at the time. And there was the Detroit tie-in, plus he was a college basketball player at USC, so he was a legit athlete. In other words, he had better credentials than, say, Garth Brooks.

For me, Chris Gaines came to mind.

After a long day of storyboarding, they left their unfinished work on the grease board in the writers' room. When they came back the next morning, they found someone had added that shot overnight. In other words, it was the janitor.

Yeah, I actually thought Philip was in trouble for a moment there.

When you say she's going to crack, do you mean change her position re: turning Paige into a spy or do you mean some sort of nervous breakdown?

As I recall, that preview was for the remainder of the season, not last night's episode.

The pen scene was great. When they closed the blinds I thought the three of them were going to collectively flip out, which they obviously didn't. The guy who plays Gaad really did some great work last night, going from authoritative to vulnerable in an instant, such as when Taffet indicated that even Gaad was a…

Psshh. That shit's Gene Siskel 101, bro.

My only complaint: Why isn't there a link at the end of this piece that allows me to send my resume to this guy?

I'm really hoping next week's episode is called "Gaad Damnit."

This might not be a popular thing to say, but I think the "two characters who are at odds with each other separated by a physical object that splits the frame in half" shot is a bit overused on this show lately. Same goes for the "character who feels trapped by his circumstances is boxed-in by a door frame" shot. …

That last shot of him in the car? Pretty sure he ejaculated.

I got the impression she had also been instructed to wrap it in a wet towel to help shield it from the detector.

He was so believably gay on that show that it took me probably an entire season of The Americans to buy into him playing a straight character.

And with literally no one to confide in whom he can fully trust. (In contrast to Stan's undercover experience, where he at least had one person he could talk to.)

So you see, it's all really quite simple.

You could totally tell that learning Philip's loins had spawned a Soviet Warrior was a major turn-on for Elizabeth.

I'm trying not to worry about figuring out the SA plot. I figure it'll come together for me at some point.
