Well, never say never. But yes, I'm glad he broke the news to her when they had her friends over lest she want to jump his bones before he leaves.

You mean Seymon Andreivich.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I was very confused that it seemed to end a shot of Philip's hand on the upstairs railing.

Everyone hates Tuan but really, he's just being good at his job. He's exactly the kind of person Paige is going to need to be if she wants to do what her parents do. The juxtaposition between the horror of the situation and Paige beating the crap out of a laundry bag wasn't the show at its most subtle.

It took what? Two years for the GOP to completely recover from the Bush debacle?

Well, bye.

I disagree entirely, I thought this was a great episode and since it's inevitable that there will be action climax why not spend some time giving Jack and Ashi time to reflect on their budding relationship? An action scene without characters we care about is boring.

I see your point re Ashi's upbringing and how that emotionally stunts her. However let's not forget that Jack is very similar: he too was raised up from a very young age for one purpose, which was to defeat Aku.

His face is much more expressive without the beard. I suppose that's intentional.

Given that his double standard on nudity was brought up when they were fighting for their lives and Ashi called him out on it I'd say Genndy and Co were pointing out how silly Jack's mores are in the situation he finds himself in.

I think her confusion was Jack being insistent on her covering up in the middle of a life and death fight against a leech alien.

Ah yes, the entire spaceship prison had a visual design reminiscent of Dexter's Lab, such as the multiple walkways and orbs. Was really hoping they would pay some homage since that was 10 year old me's favorite Cartoon Network show.

I know I'm being pedantic but "James" isn't a pedophile, he's an ephebophile, an adult with an attraction to teens.

Off the wall theory I read last week: Paige is a giant red herring meant to fool Philip and Elizabeth and thus us the viewers. Claudia is working Henry without their knowledge.

There is zero chance she leaves Soviet Russia. She's basically a prisoner in a nicer cell than the fat guy Oleg was sweating.

They can double date with Stan and Renee and go see the film adaptation starring Jodie Foster and Rob Lowe. It came out in March of 1984.

He's James, your friendly neighborhood Big Alcohol lobbyist and pot dealer.

Until he just pops in unannounced on a break from school.

Her situation reminds me of that of Kim Philby, the infamous ringleader of the Cambridge Five.

Other obscure reference: the Vandertunt's long-suffering butler is named Pelham, as in Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, the creator of Jeeves.
