I don't think it's misogynist. Women are some of the strongest and most reliable characters on the show. Elizabeth is the one who keeps it together while Philip is pouting because oh no, the U.S.S.R.'s history isn't always pretty, I think my father wasn't just a logger! If it was a woman losing it and saying it was…

Yes, I think perhaps Elizabeth is hoping for that: it's clear that losing Gabriel would make her feel unsettled and she might see Paige's receptiveness to Marx as a window of opportunity. That, or they just want a beloved father figure to see their daughter before he leaves.

He'd still send Nina to her execution if given the chance again.

Why would you think you should be on the CIA's side in the Cold War? They would assassinate democratically elected leaders if they even took a phone call from Russia, and install right wing dictators with atrocious human rights records in the name of "freedom".

You can never write "fuck you CIA" too often.

Cheese dick?

I think her reasoning is that she wants traumatic things to happen to her because it makes her more credible? So confused.
