Ah, I was wondering if I got the snakes switched… though clearly not enough to Google it. Cottonmouth prancing through the warehouse with the two guns, all his scenery chewing… it felt like he thought he was the villain in non-Nolan Batman

WAIT! I DON'T EVEN OWN A MICROWAVE!?

they mentioned a name, it wasn't one I recognized. It definitely wasn't the agriculture guy.

Laurie Holden's Wikipedia page already lists "Renee on The Americans" as one of her "known for" roles…

I was thinking during the Bennigan's scene… do P+E maybe see Pasha as a cautionary tale? At the end of last season they were worried about what might happen to their family if they had to go back to Russia, and bring their essentially American children along. I can totally see Henry being as miserable as Pasha…

When he got the second date, I may or may not have said "aww, what up playa?" out loud to my screen. It's not certain. I'll have to ask my microwave for a replay later.

totally my theory for a few minutes as well. For an FBI agent, Stan is marvelously bad at reading people

We were all convinced his last girlfriend was a KGB plant… it's like Stan may have learned to trust again, but we've been too hurt on his behalf

that shot through the fan? all the random noises of stuff turning on and off? masterclass in generating tension and paranoia

no, no you were not. and the "technique" turning out to be so innocuous was SUCH a relief

Uff! UNGH! Yowza!

I was squirming out of my seat imagining something like that…

That was exactly what was going through my head. When things aren't going well, the easiest thing is to find some external enemy to blame it on. We're seeing all too much of that at home right now…

The first half of Luke Cage was pretty great, then Diamondback died and the writing turned REALLY stupid. Also, the guy playing Cottonmouth was… I don't even know what the hell he was doing, but he really screwed the pooch.

There was a scene of Dar calling watch-cap, yeah. Plus at the end of this ep Dar was hanging out in the basement of the Parallax Corp with O'Jones, so they're pretty strongly tied at this point.

Who is apparently working for Dar Adal, who got Quinn out of the hospital and got Astrid to look after him and went through all that trouble… just to send the guy to kill them?

None. none none none. Not half a lick of sense

GODDAMMIT!
