Amy's hair, while a nice shade of red, was gross, lank and greasy looking, and she doesn't have being a homeless hippy as an excuse (that's an actual good excuse).

Wait is the review acting like Ginsberg being mentally ill is a surprise? We've been talking about that since he's been on, and definitely a lot last season. Remember when he had a panic attack freak-out about the war and I think Dow Chemical? Napalm or whatever. We were all talking about how he might very well be

I just started watching this show a couple weeks ago on Amazon Prime, primarily due to commenters speaking well of it in other good shows' reviews , like The Americans. I was hooked with no hope of escape within like, the first minute and now I've finally caught up with the show's schedule, so I'm psyched to be able

I don't despise anyone on this show, because even if they're all terrible people, they're all integral parts of what make this show so great and compelling. But I do want Larrick to be stopped, because he is very frightening and I don't want our protagonists to be killed or caught. And I do feel sympathy for the way

Btw, what was that move Larrick used on Kate when he finally over-powered her? It was like an arms crossed, finger in the ears (?) thing. I figured it must be some kind of pressure point/sleeper thing.

Eh, I guess if you could say they were being anything, you could say they were being dismissive, which can be irritating, yes. However, maybe it's me, but whenever someone has been described to me as one who does not "suffer fools gladly," I tend to respect them more. I don't think it does anyone a service to

Your second paragraph is spot on. What's depressing is that it is, to me, all too familiar and real. I've worked at places like that- soul-suckers where the people you spend the most hours of your life with turn out to be false friends you end up not really knowing at all. Tell me that doesn't give you at least a bit

Ooh, I know who I'm swayed by on the internet, people who call a whole swath of people's responses "smug", "sanctimonious", "snobs", and "scared". That's not off-putting to anyone not involved in the original conversation that comes across it at all.

I actually think some people are underestimating Bert re: power. It's been shown that, basically, he sits back, bides his time, and when he feels it necessary to cast the final decision, he does it quickly and ruthlessly, usually with dire consequences for whomever the decision's about. I wouldn't walk carelessly

Good questions that got neglected by the number of subjects raised: I think the hippie banging his daughter in the vein of Roger and one of his randos made him realize what was really up with the place and why his daughter- a mother- didn't belong there.

I think that happened during the JFK assassination too, Don came out of a meeting and no one was at their desks and the phones were ringing off the hook. And then the phones just stopped ringing altogether.

I didn't think of this until I just read your comment, but maybe he sees this as possibly a "final mission"? I know he said he'd wanted to be rid of the KGB, presumably to have his freedom back, but maybe things have gone beyond that point for him now and he just wants to take out his targets, whatever the cost. He

I had a hand-me-down Gloworm from my 6-year older cousin that I loved (I actually got a lot of great early 80's toys that way- Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, Cabbage Patch). I liked that you'd be able to see with the covers over you when you would sleep with it.

Questions about details, if anyone might know the answers, or speculation if not: What do you think was the heart-attack gas was that just needed to be shot out of some kind of pen or gun thing near someone's face to kill them? What was the pill that Elizabeth took (Did I see Philip eat one too?) that would presumably

I know he's military and good at it, but how's he getting access to all his sleuthing tools when he's going it alone? P & E have the KGB behind them, but somehow Larrick is able to get a fake warrant, get whatever tools he used at the phone box and then at the call center house (who's phone box he could fix even after

That's very true, it would have to be some really convoluted espionage motivation and I believe this show to be above that. I've pretty much ruled him out in my head, but somebody connected to that DoD meeting was responsible. And I'm so excited to find out who, and I love this show for doing that.

That plain, unadorned cross hanging on the wall in the pastor's office was definitely a Protestant cross. I was thinking maybe Presbyterian or something. Def. not Lutheran or Episcopalian. That's as far as I can narrow it down.

I don't think we did know before, but if it was mentioned I didn't know before this episode that the secret meeting was the same time as Emmet & Leanne's murders. So, like Stan, I definitely think the two are linked, but from the opposite view-point: Was one of the people at the meeting responsible for their deaths? I

Maybe the Oliver North involvement? Though Todd said he hoped that wouldn't deter people from watching this excellent episode, so maybe not, but they did spend an awful lot of the review talking about it. Luckily for me: a) I didn't know he had anything to do with the episode until it was on, and b) I actually knew

I turned on the closed-captioning when I watched it the second time it aired on Sun. and that was what it said. It struck me because the first time I watched it I thought she'd said, in response to Don saying, "Life goes on," "For so many people," which was pointed to me anyway, but seeing what she really said made
