Next week:

That joke seemed to a be a straight line from Elizabeth's unexpected good time with her Mary Kay mentor. I'm not sure we've seen her be that casual and goofy before.

It would be an interesting twist if trying to save Tim and Mrs. Tim ultimately turn out to be the reason E&P defect &/or go on the run from The Centre. While many of us have been clamouring for them to get shanked, the desire to protect them for Paige's sake might change the game entirely.

Thanks, his name was escaping me and I was too lazy to Google it :)

Thanks! Missed that entirely.

During that scene, I wondered if he'd every considered paying for a tailored suit lined with whatever materials keep him feeling safe (emergency space blanket, or whatever works).

Yes, Chuck did make a point of saying how even minor, innocent mistakes can end up being very costly due to fines. I'm really interested to see the fallout from this.

On the upside, just wait a few days and you'll have a nice two-hour finale to watch.

I'd go for one of those cool, refreshing drinks painted on the front of of the Salamanca's restaurant.

"Why did Ben decide to take on Adam's persona, instead of going back to his own family??"

Me too. Overall I still think the show is mediocre (although let the record show that I'm still watching). But the way they handled the reveal was well done: they anticipated and played with audience expectations about the paternity fake-out. So props for that.

Apropos of nothing, that reminds me that years ago, there was a AVC poster who ran by the name of Ricin Beans.

Agree wholeheartedly, actually. The implied overkill and related guarantee was part of the joke. I think that is more clear if you view my comment in direct response to the original comment in the thread. Probably more half-joking - I'd like Tim/Alice dead by something that can't be traced back to P&E).

Totally agree, but I think that's also what makes it semi-plausible: they only way Stan is getting her out is to break the rules and collaborate with better spies than Oleg.

Comrade Mailbot! It is good to see you again!

Oh, you're probably right. It's been ages since I've seen S1. I do seem to remember her fawning about him at least once. Like Elisabeth, I just sort of inherently mistrust her, and wouldn't put anything past her.

Oh Claudia? She's always got the murder on the backburner. I was talking about Gabriel specifically, and the Centre in general, at least for the moment.

I could certainly see the Center being that ruthless in theory, and maybe if things get worse, or they think P&E want to defect, maybe one day - but no, I'm pretty confident that is not where they were going with that today.
