Dude, I get it. You think Tuan is awesome and that's great for you but you are the one who keeps saying that Tuan had a foolproof plan which is simply not true. My MAYBEs were just to point out that there were a lot of possible scenarios, any one of which could have derailed his plan.

Frank Rossitano was Gordy of "Boobs and California" fame.

I finished the season last week and am already doing a re-watch since it is so easy to miss things on the first watch, like the cereal Kimmy is eating is "Korn Czechs" and her yelling "whistle noise!" to get everyone's attention since we all know she has yet to master the art of whistling.

But the show isn't just about this mission and Philip and Elizabeth have a lot on their plates in addition to this one operation. They are also highly trained and knew how to protect their cover which is exactly what they did, even under scrutiny by the CIA officer.

As I said, it's certainly a possibility but she could instead lean on her husband for support since he is the only other person that would truly understand her loss or possibly commit suicide herself.

Tuan never had a convincing reason why it would work if Pasha died. It was just a guess that his mother would want to take his body back to Russia. This was one of many possibilities but by no means a certainty. Tuan knows nothing about human emotions.

I think it's important to see how Nick came to be in the position he is now. Despite being a servant to the Waterfords, he holds significant power over the fate of everyone in that household.

The first 10 minutes or so of this week's podcast is so funny. I was walking my dog this morning with a huge grin on my face and laughed out loud several times. Anyone who past me on the street must have thought I was insane.

I have full confidence in the show to follow through. They already had the outlines for each of the final 10 episodes before they finished filming this season so I doubt they would have included that scene if it wasn't going someplace.

I loved Philip saying that too. Seeing what happened to Pasha destroyed him but I still don't think he's seeing clearly about Henry.

Sergio Valente (which I'm pretty sure she wore in the wedding episode), Gloria Vanderbilt, Jordache, Calvin Klein…

ha ha. In the podcast, Rhys made a comment about how he was looking for the line in the script where Elizabeth shoots Tuan in the face.

I think it was more how Tuan's comment about "petty, bourgeois" concerns and her realizing that the little shit was right that she had become more American than she realized.

It's not unusual for plotlines to continue from one season to the next in this show and there was nothing pressing in Kansas or with Misha, at least since he was sent back to the Soviet Union. I am sure both will be addressed next season.

He did seem genuinely concerned but his little speech about his report and how Elizabeth and Philip compromised the mission with their petty concerns about the life of a child (who he convinced to fake a suicide) overrode that for me.

It applies here too!

That's what I was thinking throughout the episode. How does he not see that Henry will be Pasha if they drag him to Moscow?

Considering Kimmy's father's new role, I expect Jim will be seeing a lot of Kimmy in the future.

I was basically 50/50 as to whether Renee is a spy but after this episode, I'm thinking there is about a 105% chance that she is.

I can totally relate to the show touching a nerve and to be honest, I haven't put a lot of thought into why they Departed since I never expected it to be addressed. The creators seem much more interested in how "The Leftovers" deal with it than the event itself.
