"Do what you must do" is clear as mud.

Good catch. He meant it, it seems in a way few of us would have imagined.

I just have to say no, good guys do bad things. But I dont actually see him as just a good guy, he's complicated and as corrupted in some ways as everyone else here. But he has nothing to gain and a huge amount to lose by trying to protect Oleg and is doing it out of a sense of morality and decency. I didn't see that

I think he spent time with Henry because it assured him a lot more dinners at the Jennings personally…no just kidding I think he likes Henry and vice versa but I don't see him as really taking him uder his wing in a parental way.

The sixties mostly happened in the seventies as they say! I graduated in 67 and yeah, sex was rare and furtive, long hair was nowhere in sight and even pot didn't have much of a hold.

I know you cannot tell us but I wonder if it will be as presaged at the dinner with Stan and The Jennings and Pastor Tim! I still think that dinner was pregnant and one day something will be borne of it! Ah well

What's the matter with KANSAS? What's the matter with HENRY!!???

The most recent episode at least breaches the issue. "He's with Doug; we haven't heard that in a while" and of course, infuriatingly, they have not talked to his math teacher. But something is up.

It is fun to go back to season 1 and see what a little kid he was… that's a heck of a lot of growth but 11 to 16, well that's what you expect.

That has a certain credibility. I am sure Henry will play a part in all the end game machinations. But it's frustrating that they are paying all this attention to Paige and we don't even see Henry on screen. Keidrich has shown himself to be an excellent actor. On the other hand there is something to the idea that

I thought it was the Washington Capitals. (He plays Hockeyand that's the name of the Hockey team but that was also the name of the BBall team in the 50's)

I don't think, given their experience with Paige, they are going to bring Henry on board unless they are forced to do so.

Well yeah I presume most people who are spies of this sort anyway are pretty much sociopaths.

Nah that would be absurd. She's got a storyline coming.

A spinoff?

I think that would be the happiest prospect of all, Oleg and Martha. Martha finally getting someone to love her. Being in bleak Moscow isn't all that important, it may not be as nice as Washington but she didn't have much of a life there either.

Her happiest potential ending is that she hooks up with Oleg.

And yet Philip had not the least hesitation in using her death to blackmail the target.

I agree and yet Eliz and Phil are really quite amoral; they feel bad sometimes but they go right ahead killing completely innocent folks along with the dirty.

IT WAS BAD. But to his credit Philip HATED that one and never did anything that far out of line with her.
