Also, I think there is a built-in assumption that, since a record is finished and released, it is exactly what the group hoped to make. They love it, they think it’s a masterpiece, etc. But more often (and I speak to lots of folks in bands), musicians feel as though what they made is a pile of crap.

Right! If he admitted he was a spy, then that would just go down the rabbit hole of finding out about all the people he killed, how it affected his FBI friends, etc.

I’m trying to figure out who Philip resembled with the blonde wig? I was initially thinking sort of along the lines of Jeremy Renner, but I can’t really pinpoint it exactly... 

Mischa: Hold my beer.

That attention to detail helps this show a lot, I think. I even got a slight kick out of seeing the old Illinois license plates in a few scenes there!

Finkle is Henry. Henry is Finkle!

Perhaps Henry never suspects a thing since everyone from Claudia to his family is dead, leaving him as the only true “American” at the end of the show.

I wonder now if the show is going to end up with Henry somehow being “adopted” by Stan (literally or figuratively at his age) after the rest of the family is either in jail, dead or both?

That... and I can’t really see Philip saying “I’m a Russian spy,” and Stan then going “Well, I still love you man” before giving him a huge bear hug.

I wonder if Mischa might tie into the final episode or two somehow, even for just a brief scene where someone in the Jennings family finally meets or acknowledges him? Otherwise, I’ll agree that it’s a bit odd that there wasn’t some sort of resolution there in the long run. Heck, even Martha got that child she always…

Heck, I half-believed it when I first read it!

Henry’s going to be one lonely man in 2018.

“Hey Henry, yeah, we’re back...from decapitating someone! Sweet dreams!”

I just think of The Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns hires the hypnotist for his softball team...

Perry Carter: Well, at least they had an independent organization come in and help draw this conclusion for them. Right? Right?!

This is my favorite one so far, lol.

That feather’s pretty much blowing me over right now.

Definitely. It needs some work to truly find its groove, like you said... but I’m glad they’ll have a second season to build off some of the solid episodes from the later part of the season.

It seemed to pick up steam creatively as the season went on. I look forward to seeing what it comes up with next year!

It was Molly, yes.
