While waiting for the final episode we watched The Flame Trees of Thika on Acorn. Such a great show and people who you cared about. In this show the only decent people are Oleg and Henry. But they have such little screen time, you don't get too much time for rooting. As for the others, if they died in a common…

face it. The entire show was simply cobbled together to get a bridge to the next season. by then, I'll probably have lost interest. As I told my wife with each episode, "Let's spend an hour and see how little happens." With that approach I was never disappointed.

Gabriel is a born killer. He deserves a horrible death.

What a yawn of a season. Still don't know what Tuan is there for, except to give Elizabeth someone to tell that he will need a partner. She realizes she couldn't do all the killings and everything without the support of Philip. Did we really need Tuan for that?

Why Elizabeth is a monster. I am surprised by all the excuses proffered to prove she is not a monster, but let's review the execution scene. The person they were sent to kill was the woman, not the husband. Perhaps they had to wait for the husband to return so they could get the truth out of her. That was…

By that measure, I guess Eichmann wasn't such a bad chap after all.

Okay, now in what percentage of RO wedding ceremonies does the woman say I'm the dominant person and step on the rug first? Further on the ceremony: couldn't wait for it to be over.

Here's how I see it. Pascha will pull a Columbine and perhaps kill himself. The investigation will lead to Tuan and eventually turn up that something is amiss. Paige wants to measure up to her mom so much, she will beg for the opportunity to earn her bones and kill Pastor Tim, for the good of the family. She…

Why does the above state that the term Diplomatic Pouch is a euphemism from the FBI. It's been around forever.

It's enough to warp any young mind.

horrified? not likely. She didn't even get upset when that South African guy got the rubber tube necklace.

and mopping the same place over and over.

slow is one thing. lacking in tension is another.

I think Paige is only upset with the entries because it means PT is on the verge of calling Child Prot. Svcs which would really throw a monkey wrench into everything. So she knows PT must die, but as far as she knows her parents don't do that kind of stuff. But when she finds out the truth she'll be okay with it.

No great loss, except what about the letter?

Pastor Tim needs to go and they can't wait until the center lines up some cockamamie job for him in Ecuador. Paige complains she really doesn't have a goal like Henry, but obviously she likes the spy biz. She just needs an opportunity to spread her wings. Now is the time for her full initiation; killing PT. Liz…

Escape, presently, is pretty difficult. She's in Moscow. Where's she gonna go. Now, Gabriel has given her a possibility. Improve your Russky and then you can be a translator. In 20 or 30 years, after you've proven yourself, you can go to a translator's conference in say, some place along the Black Sea and work it…

I'm certain there were plenty of Russians who would gladly change places with her. She's living the Life of Riley (and I don't mean Bill Bendix).

Are you sure? Her apartment looked just lovely (the unmade bed was a nice touch) and undoubtedly had central heat.

I understand that, but here the friend's father wrote a letter. Now, generally, you would expect that he would not write such a letter unless the student has applied or the letter could accompany the application. In the case of a boarding school they certainly would require the applicant's parents to evidence their…
