True—-digoxin is tricky stuff.

Stan and Oleg would agree to time-share Nina.

I agree: planting a bug in Mail Robot didn't make much sense. The thing is usually moving, and would catch only snippets of conversations, at best—-and the most interesting conversations would almost sure happen behind closed doors.

Elizabeth is evil. And so is Philip—-he signed off on the murder, after all.

There have been a few rationalizations of Elizabeth's need to kill Betty, by posters I presume forgot how she let live the person in the submarine works after threatening to kill their child if they bore witness: there was another way.

Sure, it's interesting, if unrealistic (I doubt Directorate S had such capabilities are are depicted), so long as one is not seduced into sympathy for the lead characters.

Thank you for noticing. Now I feel compelled to don my co-pilot's uniform and fly a passenger jet into a mountain.

I was being sarcastic. But I agree: it was ridiculous.

I thought it had been used for classified material, but lost that privilege after drunkenly running through a crime scene.

That's been what's kept me watching: Philip has shown signs of softening, of doubt, of enjoying life in America; whereas Elizabeth has remained the True Believer. I keep hoping Philip would defect.

Not the son—-the FBI would investigate.

So work quietly, or cut the phone line outside the office.

I am just angry that these Soviet agents are operating unchecked in our nation's Capital!!!

If anything, and it's no secret I hate the lead characters, I believe Elizabeth came to her decision later, as she thought it over.

I repeat: all Elizabeth had to do was watch the door, perhaps after taking a peek to see who was in the office.

Elizabeth saw Hans leave his hiding place only after making the case to spare Todd, so I don't believe she decided Todd had to die until then.

All Elizabeth had to do was watch the door, from outside. Had Betty come out, she could have dealt with her then.

One might think that an autopsy of Betty would find an unusual level of her heart medication (digoxin?), and then Elizabeth's fingerprints would be found all over the office. Mail Robot would be taken apart down to atoms.

The reviewer wrote, "When a witness stumbles upon the Jennings while they’re bugging Mail Robot, the witness must be killed." This seriously wrong, because the witness did not stumble upon the Jennings, the Jennings stumbled upon her. Betty would have spent all her time in he office, never noticing the Jennings.

Wow, mixing Harlan Ellison with Philip K. Dick.
