How could you be a long-term GRU operative and not expect to bite it in a bad situation? Failing that, if she convinced herself her boyfriend was deeply in love with her and would go to great lengths to take care of her (which, to be fair, he HAD, just during this season), how could Carrie talk her out of that belief…

That’s exactly what I thought was about to happen from the moment he said, “Oh, I think you will.” I figured he was about to whip out a phone with a live feed of Frannie on a playground. Which makes sense. The threat of not giving her her meds? Not really. It sucks, but she’s been there. Not really a reason to be…

I was very concerned that Yevgeny was going to have found some way to make a credible threat on Frannie and she was going to come crashing back into the plot. Claire Danes’ crazy face is preferable to that, but my god, I can’t believe they shot that scene and someone looked at it and decided they were good to go.

that this speech ends up being a plea for national unity from the Homeland writers (Alex Gansa is credited with this week’s script) is a bit cringeworthy.

Heh. That would have been hilarious if an angry, wizened Elizabeth walked into Carrie’s cell.

No, not at all. All of them were looking for a woman with dark brunette hair. If she tossed the wig, they’d have no idea where to look.

I love how they hinted at this with the conversation Wendy and Wags had on the coach. And how Chuck and Bobby were both considering to falling on their swords for her. But she’s right- it’s all for one and one for all at this point. Chuck hands over the slide. Bobby gets Ira to retract on the stand. Wendy needs Nathan…

Should be very quick to just click the languages button and switch to German Audio then.

3% is OK. No problems with the subtitles here, it’s hammy enough so that you barely need them.

I prefer subtitles over dubbing. This has been opinion. Thank you.

Maybe they were left to discourage anyone who might come in there with ideas about using the printing presses. You know, just in case the blood and bullet holes weren’t enough.

Oh and Battle of Stalingrad? Political commissars attached to the fighting forces shot soldiers who retreated.

Ha! That was my thought when I saw the thumbnail too.

Christopher Robin saves the day by teaching everybody the power of friendship. During the end credits everybody dances to Kris Kross (not to be confused with Christopher Cross, because no director is cruel enough to inflict that tripe on people. With the exception of Uwe Boll.)

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky?

This newswire was a rollercoaster of Discovery for me:

You should see Carnivale. She is great in that!

I mean, other than the part where there are multiple men whohave and currently do and will feel entitled to kill women who are doing nothing more than living their lives. The Montreal massacre, for instance, was a man who killed female engineering students who had the nerve to exist near him. There are these subgroups…

I like the increased reliance on different perspectives, but hopefully, they also go into the in-depth experiences of Serena, Moira, Lydia, hell even Hannah, Commander Waterford and Nick.

I LOVED this episode but holy shit was it harrowing. The Colonies are just as awful and horrendous as described (if not more).
