Ooh. Really good point there under the spoiler tag.
Wouldn't have made that connection, I don't think, but…yeah, it absolutely checks out.

*facepalm* How the hell did I not make that connection directly? I mean, it's RIGHT THERE. Very nice. :)

It's interesting. I LOVED the first Bilquis scene, but the montage in a later episode felt unnecessary. Not because of the sex, or how it was shot, but because we weren't given that same sense of worship that was so central to the act in the first episode. I wasn't put off by it, exactly, but it felt like it was…

Really interesting points about how Bobbie is processing her experience. I get the feeling, too, that the idea of PTSD is something that she's not really allowing herself to consider, which is understandable enough given how strongly she identifies as a tough Marine. Her character is one of my favorites in the books,…

I've heard her in interviews and podcasts (I spend waaaaay too much time following The Americans), and this was definitely just her regular voice. It took me a little bit to get used to, as well, but I think it's kind of fitting to use that when she's not directly involved with a mark.

And waaaay back in the first season, he WAS suspicious, but found nothing when he went looking in their garage. I think it's reasonable to expect that experience to give him more reason to assume that everything is fine even when his spidey senses get triggered again.

Yeah, that was my read as well. It felt like an intentionally self-deprecating moment more than anything else.

That's true…except that we don't know what Elizabeth and Phillip know. William was their expert on this stuff, and he's obviously not available at the moment. This might be a situation where we know more than the characters about the immediacy of the risk, if that make sense.

Okay, two things.

I know this is a question about the show (obviously), but there's a lot of great exploration of Amos' characters in the books. He's a complicated dude, and I'll just say that the way the actor is playing him is essentially EXACTLY how I imagined him from the books. Scary, definitely lacking an innate moral compass,…
