Someone please throw every TV acting award at Nicole Kidman RIGHT NOW.

By the way, JP - your username cracks me up every time I see it. I love the idea of it gracing a birth certificate….

And Elizabeth and Philip would be totally cool with that. "Anyone other than Matthew" they said…

When Paige utilizes"the technique" while in the throes of passion, and she's thinking of Maw n' Paw, I sure hope she doesn't have Matthew's nipple between her fingers.

When Elizabeth suggested a technique to teach Paige, I honestly had a chilling flashback to Philip's training montage in Russia: "They said to make it real…." — I suddenly thought of that as part of Paige's future.

Sad-likeable. It's a distinct but important hybrid.

I named her disguise tonight "Tammy". Said with Midwestern twang, like a hillbilly hollerin' for his woman to cook him dinner.

Gob's not on board…

In the last scene, when Elizabeth and Philip offered to teach Paige a technique… did anyone else think Elizabeth was just going to start slapping her across the face until she could take it without shedding tears (i.e. "There's no crying in spying!")?

The last scene in this episode made me realize how awesome and surreal it would be to interact with a someone else's personification of my younger self.

I never thought I'd see her past her role in Freaks and Geeks but, boy, was I mistaken.

"I'm almost kind of sad for Marnie too"

I've honestly thought that Marnie's been on the verge of a nervous breakdown for the last few seasons.

I've honestly thought of that as well! But there was a quote from the first episode that I latched onto - I think it was maybe the African-American guy being interviewed by the detectives who says something like:
'If [Madeline] hadn't twisted her ankle that day, nobody would've died." — suggesting Madeline and Jane's…

I posted this below, in response to a different comment:

What? But Skye is a peaceful child! She would never consent to non-consensual touching!

On the contrary, I think the therapist had Perry pegged from the get-go, but she probably knows how to play it carefully.

What I don't understand is why in the holy hell the teacher wouldn't just pull Ziggy aside and take the time to question him, asking him why he's staring at Amabella and not engaged in the sing-a-long.

**I haven't read the books, so I don't want anyone to confirm or deny this theory, but I'm tossing one out for the record:**
