Right but if you ask me, when I meet a guy at a gym and I am into him, all I wanna do is NOT talk about work, if you know what i mean

Same. Plus "Colony"? I saw one or two epps but wasn't he there also kinda shitty "working for evil aliens" type? IIRC.
hasn't he been kinda shitty here until this epp?

yeah that sexy sagging neck sack must have done it :)

Does she know he is FBI? Wouldn't that mean that his work day to day is kinda not a topic of discussion with a three-date possible candidate for a GF? js

thanks, but I got a mortgage and a cat!

Why would she be so like "please please please, I cannot wait, tell me"? And in an earlier episode, she encouraged him to tell her about his job using "metaphors" or something? Why would she be so nosy like that if she is just a romantic partner?

wow who would ever live up to your standards?

I don't think in the late 1990s after CCCP went kaput though. That's when I worked with them. My boss at work thou was saying the exact same thing - they are all CIA! :)
He was real old school commie thou, just like Gabriel

can you really believe that a hot "Andrea" hooks up with a sad sack Stan at a gym? mmmm no
and she is as "unattached" as the hot Gorp Guy? mmm no

She is awfully pushy about him telling her things tho, no?

Why don't I notice those details? I have to re-watch, again! not that I have that much free time to do so…

it is 1980s. I love yous after first few dates? No. But an understanding that two people are "getting to know each other"? no?

Did she ever agree to be part of a "harem" ? Is she even "the favorite" "wife"? :)

Right you are, Brenda didn't come across as an interesting person - but why would he pursue her then, have sex with her? He has (as we see later) no lack of other exploits…
Why Brenda? Maybe he saw a hapless clumsy person who was new to the area and just wanted to help out, and his Peace Corps "teaching disadvataged…

That was my point exactly :)

This show made me appreciate the art of acting AGAIN. Big time.
I also identified with Elizabeth right away, from the start - this steely resolve, this unwavering trust and belief, this relentless pursuit of "something bigger than herself" - I was floored by how she did that - way before Gabriel came around, and that…

Two words - Peace Corps :)

I was always skeptical that kind of guy would be single, no GF. C'mon! It's not like he looks like needy nerdy Gus :) This worldly kind of guy and handsome to boot? No way. His being single is not out of desperation but out of a convenience to be able to have multiple women with no commitment.
Poor Liz - the look on…

Why would she want to mess up her perfectly done hair?
