I can get being unsure how exactly Scar would get its scar since most engagements seem to end with either "ship comes back safe", "ship comes back with some nice clean bullet holes", or "ship doesn't come back". But "does it regrow every time"? Uh, no Zack, obviously it doesn't. The mark they're using to identify it…

Hm. I don't really get this. Kat is not as charismatic as Starbuck but was she wrong about calling out Starbuck in that briefing? I admired her basically going "look, people may not like me so much they let me get away like all kinds of bullshit like you do, but you're slipping and you fucking know it."

Man those really were stray. Just to clarify the rebel alliance bit: It's a trap! Fun storyline.

Looking back, I feel I was being a little unfair to those distracted by the numbers. It's not like a person can just stop noticing something on command. And it was silly for me to accuse you all of tunnel vision, when really it is *I* with that glorious gift. In Psych 101, they played that video where you count the…

That was just really, really sad. It'll be harder for me to take the tension when everyone's fully conscious :P

It really was confusing haha. One of the most stark demonstrations of their different approaches and personalities really!

They were telling her to keep a little distance from Matthew last time, be friends but not get too close. And *especially* not to feel like their situation meant she had some responsibility to get close to him to spy on him. She got frustrated because she really did want to get closer to Matthew and was also feeling…

They also cast a Russian-Canadian as Philip's son. He tweeted about it, along the lines of "my first American role is fittingly titled The Americans!"

@alaiawilliams:disqus I was okay with the relatively uneventful finale, but I totally agree the last scene left me with a sour taste. That didn't feel like the end of the conversation with Paige, I was waiting for a little more there.

Heh, for me I didn't read that into any national identity, it just reminded me "hey, this show is set where I'm from!" But good point!

Elizabeth watching from the window kinda had me off kilter there, like what was she waiting for? She already knew there weren't 5 FBI cars following Stan home, was she expecting him to burst back out of the house to arrest Philip? I was expecting them to get run over crossing the street or something. But I guess it…

Dammit, those would've been the most hilarious last words…

I think that would be pretty funny, Stan being super awkward and Matthew rolling his eyes. On the other hand I fucking DREAD Paige having The Talk when her family dynamics are already so insane…that scene would be so uncomfortable I might just explode.

I liked his grit-his-teeth-and-accept-it reaction. "Shit happens, and this time it's happening to me. Okay."

You're putting an awful lot of trust in Henry there, bud.

Eskimo cousins!

Yeah I missed that bit. Oops!

Yeah but generally the movies have done a decent job avoiding the more cringeworthy/completely batshit stupid moves from comic storylines.

Man, Civil War must've been hella confusing! "Who the fuck is this robot alien Jarvis that seems like he's more powerful than everyone else without even breaking a sweat?" was my reaction and I JUST watched Ultron…

Oh bullshit, you're here aren't you, clearly none of us have better things to do and can insist on whatever inane things we feel like :P
