Pastor Tim, ah yes. When he was in Africa I was hopeful, but then he returned.

Henry and boarding school. Something is quite odd and it has not gotten attention in the comments. The dad of Henry's female friend wrote a letter of recommendation for him, without first speaking to his parents. No one does that.

I agree, but we after we got Roku we blew through SOA, Breaking Bad, and Homeland. Not to mention Narcos which was the greatest. So, this is just a placeholder until FX catches up with us. Right now it's okay for 48 minutes without commercials.

what would you have her do?

I've read some of the comments here. I mean, getting worked up about poor Martha who is living in a splendid apartment, eating the finest potatoes and onions, and gaining weight like a Russian peasant.
Everything is a distraction from the real drama which we will not get to for several episodes, well into the next…

it is supposed to be entertainment. As I said before we watched this episode, okay, let's see what doesn't happen.

because they're adults and he's a punk kid.

Stan is moving closer to the computer.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think than Stan has come under suspicion. His protection of Oleg, his affair with the beautiful Russian, and how many people knew where John Boy was going on his vacation? I think Stan's new girl friend is an American from whichever agency can't say.
I mentioned the computer before.…

Yes, Lizzie is not especially simpatico.

I thought the entire premise beginning with the insects was ridiculous. So the US develops this superbug to spread in Russia somehow and destroy the crops. But they have a secret way to keep it from getting to other countries (including the US) and destroying crops there. Maybe they have a super duper pesticide…

Okay, perhaps it's not a new computer but I thought there was mention of that. Anyway, to me the computer is like a pistol in a Chekov play. Here is what Chekov said: "If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there."
So we have this…

Right. They're not breaking the law in doing what they are doing.

My thought is that any foreshadowing has to do with the new computer. That eventually there will be on the computer something that Stan will discover. But that's episodes away.

But when she spoke with Philip about how her old town looks now, he opined that it probably had not changed much. Which I'm certain was the case.

There was an off screen cameo a while back. Oleg and the woman who was supposed to go to Kenya were going over the robots transcripts. "Recorded 532 beeps."

This was an incredibly dumb episode. They want to get the super wheat. okay, fine. Why not wait for it to come to market and buy it. The company is not going to keep it a secret. Even if Russia had the super wheat what difference would it make? With their controlled economy they won't be able to bring it to…
