Real.

I never remember which deaths go with which episodes.

Same!

She is the best! Super nice, but not in a boring way.

Why does the reviewer imply that Philip and Elizabeth won't be able to contact anyone? I assume Gabriel has a phone. So they can call the successor to the guy in the basement, have the hit on the pastor called off, and make up an excuse to tell Paige and Henry (or maybe tell Paige she has to sell the excuse to…

How so?

I've watched this show obsessively from the beginning, but I'm blanking on when she had Gaad at gunpoint. What episode was this?

In early 1980s America, getting separated after 20 years doesn't strike me as endangering anything. If anything, it makes the marriage look more real (which it was at that point). And it gave Philip the ability to operate from a different locale without his comings and goings being seen as much by the FBI…

HA! IKWYM, but I just have one(?) more thing to say, which is that I was really flummoxed by how many critics insisted it was not anywhere close to being like a shark jump, and that in fact it was a perfectly reasonable twist. That really bugged me.

I was okay with Larrick, but the Jared reveal was the one truly awful misstep this show has made.

Yes, I loved the Berlin subplot this episode especially, and I'm surprised not to see it get more attention in the comments. But wasn't it supposed to be 1938 rather than "early 1930s" as was said in the review?

Speaking of money and privilege, I have to wonder about the author of this review. "Used car dealer"? I thought it was pretty clearly a NEW car dealership. Otherwise: $38K (bargained down to $32K) for a van? Really?

Strangely enough, I had just reconnected with their music a couple hours before watching this episode. Good stuff.

Really? Why?

I agree with you on this one. Sal was way out of order.

Is that a Jewish thing or just an older person thing?

I agree she had already decided to leave, but I think it's uncharitable to say that she was "selfish" for wanting to try again right away. This is a woman whose only chance to ever have a baby is rapidly running out.

She didn't convince him to go. She was like "sure, it's fine, go ahead". But as someone said downthread, once he put the brakes on trying to have another baby, the relationship was over from her perspective.

Why is "soap not a dirty word in 2015"? I'm not arguing with this contention, but neither am I endorsing it. I'm just wondering what shift in critical taste has occurred that this seems to be obliquely referring to, and what other shows are involved.

Yeah, I would say especially if there's a prospect of getting some strange (i.e., a prospect for a hookup with a new partner seems in the offing), for me it can go almost painfully hard VERY quickly, much more so than if it's with a familiar lover.
