Thanks for not spoiling Sunset Boulevard!

I wonder how closely the writers will follow the real-life examples of what happened to the Russian illegals in the US. The suburban couple—a lot like the Jenningses—was arrested in front of their young children, two girls, 9 and 11. The older daughter came home from a slumber party to see her mother taken away in…
It's the accumulation of evidence, not any one thing, that should have raised Stan's suspicions. He was suspicious of Martha without much more than a feeling. (Also, he was suspicious of the female defector who turned out to be a spy because she liked Milky Ways!) Early on, he told his wife that something didn't…
Nope—Stan is clueless, as the objective facts of the storyline show. Phillip frequently leaving at night to visit Martha, the whole family decamping in the middle of the night in Season 2, Elizabeth being gone immediately after the FBI sting goes bad, the attack on Gaad, the description of the couple. The average…
I can't stand her, either. Or maybe it's just that I can't stand her storyline. It was more believable when she was more involved in Pastor Tim's church for real. That made sense in her circumstances. It was a way to get away from the secretiveness and isolation of her family Getting involved in spycraft just…
No! There weren't even cell phones in 1984!
Ha ha, good question! (He isn't single).
Stan is even dumber than Hank in Breaking Bad. Doesn't he notice the Jennings taking off in the middle of the night or put two and two together when things like Elizabeth having to visit her sick aunt for a while after the female illegal was shot in Season 1 or the attack on Gaad in Thailand after Stan told Phillip…
How dare anyone say they don't like this show or are critical of it!
I agree! The Dougie storyline is the best thing about this show.
Ugh! What backs up that statement about "many women" who are raped? Did someone do a scientific study?
Pretty sure that was a body double.

Sarcasm gets you blocked. Good-bye.
I block posters who insult. Good-bye.
I kind of get an "emperor's new clothes" feeling when watching this show.
I'm rewatching this show and assume the statute of limitations for spoilers has expired. Having said that, Nina's choice to disclose the FBI sting ended up having devastating consequences for her. She gave up her chance to be exfiltrated (is that really a word?) to the US. Instead, she chose the motherland and did…
I don't think it's that simple. I think Jimmy genuinely cared about Chuck. He could have been appointed Chuck's guardian. If he wanted access to Chuck's money, that was his chance, but he chose not to. I never thought he was trying to get Chuck's share for himself; I thought he was trying to get it for Chuck.
Maybe Chuck is right about Jimmy—that he hurts everyone he comes into contact with. Jimmy, however, is going to meet someone even more destructive of relationships among his family, his friends, himself: Walter White.
Jimmy's spite did cause the immediate effect of Chuck being pushed out. But the truth is, Chuck was in no condition to practice law. The firm was very solicitous of him but the situation couldn't go on forever. The insurance situation just brought the problem to the forefront. Had Chuck faced the reality of his…
