Elizabeth has been the only thing tethering Philip to doing the Motherland's dirty work for, well, just about the entire run of The Americans. Paige is…a proxy war.

I hate to break it to you, Scotty, but even if you don't do drugs or drink, you're going to die.

I just meant in that they are both older than time itself, but lol!

They were flirting like crazy in last week's episode.

Right — Iturbi and Janus were clearly still intact and conscious, despite the fact that by rights they should have been simultaneously crushed by the intense air pressure, suffocated by the carbon dioxide atmosphere, and broiled by its extreme heat. So, something's hinky with the local environment around that crater.

I got that and the Star-Child from the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Thank god it wasn't just me who thought the moon looked an awful lot like Io. I mean, you think you know your Jovian moons, but then S2 is Ganymede this, and Ganymede that…

Assuming Cotyar survives…odds of him and Bobbie getting it on at some point next season?

Yeah, that's not how I would have done it, either, and my guess is that there were time constraints and it was a choice made for the sake of expediency.

2018 is waaaay too far away for me. I have so many questions! What happened to the Arboghast? Are Julie Mao and Joe Miller still down there in the heart of whatever that protomolecule structure is on Venus? What is Strickland planning to do with Mei and the rest of his abductees? Is Cotyar going to have been seemingly…

Except for my right-wing uncle. Mine and everyone else's.

And then he wrestled his right arm back to his side and continued explaining how the U.S. government could survive the nuclear apocalypse.

Well, he'd fit right in with ol' Bernie.

He'll just have to do it live.

Kissinger is like 1,000 years old. He's defanged himself.

Man, I miss The Colbert Report. I can't find that weapons-grade dose of sarcasm anywhere else on cable right now when I need it most.

Yeah, I like Mikey Day and Alex Moffat just fine. Melissa Villasenor hasn't impressed.

It's also his responsibility as press secretary to select the most photogenic turkey for the president to pardon at Thanksgiving and to lead the children in song at the White House Christmas tree lighting.

Beck Bennett and Kate McKinnon, IMO, are head-and-shoulders above the rest of the "newer" cast (i.e. not Bobby Moynihan, Vanessa Bayer, and Kenan Thompson). I like Cecily Strong and Aidy Bryant, too, and it's not like everyone else is bad, but I can see Bennett and McKinnon having long, successful careers in comedy…

I like Bill! I loved Clara, but I'm glad Bill is so distinct from her. Jury's still out on Nardole — not sure if I will end up finding his oddness more endearing or annoying with a full season of him hanging around. Guess we'll see!
