If you recall, Paige found her faith completely independently, her family didn't even attend church, she actually asked them to attend church and got baptised all completely independently. Pastor Tim open mindedly gave her that communist book by Marx to read, in comparison the Jennings lied, manipulated and deceived…

From the soviet point of view, Pasha is still on point - keep in mind the countless atrocities which Philip and Elizabeth have done in the past which were equally as cold and brutal, even sadistic. His only mistake was apparently not getting authorisation to proceed with his plan. Of course, as an audience we're glad…

Her wet noodle floppy arm flailing at the laundry bag did not seem particularly effective

Giving up her personal beliefs and giving in to her parents manipulation and brainwashing is not the same as 'taking charge of her life'

Portable director's chair?

It does happen though. In some restaurants in the US they will tell you if you haven't tipped enough

She's partly responsible for enabling Jimmy and participating in cons herself

I'm pretty sure he had something up his sleeve to make himself cry

"As of this episode, Jimmy/Saul has appeared on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul combined more than Walter White or Jesse Pinkman" oh dear…such a stupid fact to mention for obvious reasons

Absolutely. Humanizing monsters is a very modern TV trend at the moment, probably the best example being Narcos where the directors go out of their way to relentlessly portray one of the worst, most brutal, greedy, and evil men ever to walk this earth to seem like a loving family man

It could have been to make the woman suffer longer, but in view of the car convo indicating the job was the last straw it was more likely to spare the husband from seeing his wife die

Following the war the soviet justice system proscribed execution for all Nazi collaborators of certain countries including their own - she would have faced certain death

This only applies to persons under the age of 15

Why can't you refuse the order?

You raise some interesting points, as the Nuremburg trials, although they had legal definitions for war crimes (acts against international law), were set up by the victors. Dropping nuclear bombs on Japan should have been considered war crimes too (in my view) and almost certainly would have been if the other side had…

16 is not a juvenile, check the US legal code and you will find the age of criminal responsibility is a lot younger than 16 across the board. However in the case of collaborators the most frequent practice was incarceration not execution, although the soviets were particularly harsh

Absolutely. The Americans have done their best to make them likeable, although in Homeland a similar situation with Peter Quinn was used to make a likeable character capable of cold blooded actions

Not really. that's literally what they were. There is ALWAYS a choice, even if it is an unpleasant one. Choosing to murder innocent people to save your own skin is understandable but doesn't make you innocent of the murders. The soviets had strict laws stating that collaborators were to be executed following the war.

yeah I don't know why they didn't snatch up the woman like they would usually do rather than involve the innocent man

She started to bluff then when her husband came home she knew it was too late to save him so she just confessed
