I fully expect several metric poo poo tons of shenanigans to go down in the next two weeks. Probably the introduction of a couple bodies, too.

It was great how Paige wanted to get some driving practice, and Liz just responded with "that's your dad's job." Then she slits some dude's throat right in front of her in the next few minutes. Dad teaches driving, Mom teaches killing. I can't wait for the next episode.Slashrat posted:Stan joking "Oh well I see Elizabeth is not the only one with a roast in the oven" upon being introduced to Alice was even better.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I laughed when Elizabeth asked Pastor Tim for advice then goes "what if I don't believe in religion and god?" and he just walks away. The scene actually had a slghtly different flavor than that: E: What if you what if you don't believe in God? Or religion or prayer? T: None of those things matter. E: It doesn't matter? T: All that matters is how we treat each other. It's very intriguing, though, because E seems genuinely troubled by the most recent operation. Her outreach may actually have some element of sincerity. E: VVVV Exactly. Red Dad Redemption fucked around with this message at 22:30 on May 26, 2016 |

That was such a good moment because 'acting' Elizabeth would never have asked Pastor Tim that question. She's doing everything in her power to get on his good side, so to imply she doesn't believe in religion or God could potentially hurt their relationship. It was a great way of showing how distraught she actually feels because of this most recent operation, and I also liked how Tim seemed to recognize and appreciate this moment where she seems completely genuine.

Elizabeth certainly seemed like she had her guard down in that conversation with Pastor Tim. It felt very, very genuine and seemed like they finally started to understand where they were both coming from for once.

That notion is true, but a step behind - the moment in the previous episode where Gabriel subtly tests Elizabeth by asking her if she'd like the center to "find another way" to handle Young-Hee, she acquiesces and says 'yes' knowing full well there isn't one. She's lived her entire life die-hard nationalist working toward the Soviet cause at any cost, and that old Elizabeth would never have answered the question that way. She's finally changing. Not so much that she can't fatally shiv a murderous deformed hobo with a pageboy haircut in the neck with his own knife, of course

It would be nice to see Paige nut-up at this point. Like she doesn't have to turn into a stone cold ninja operative over night, but it would some character growth at least if she was like 'Wow, that was horrible, but I see why you did that' instead of just melting down. Especially with the setup of her getting info on Martha (however inadvertently).

They're probably going to go to Stan with how Liz killed a mugger in self defense but ran away in a panic and now they need his help to cover it up. And he'll do it.

What's great about the scenes between Elizabeth and Tim is it can go either way whether she's legit opening up to him the same way Phillip uses EST or she's manipulating him in order to turn him. Or both, really.

Pastor Tim won’t blame her for disbelief. He may not believe that the U.S.S.R. is the Evil Empire, but he’s also under no illusion that Christianity is popular there. And now Elizabeth may be open to belief. Old Elizabeth would never have done it, but it’s a legit great move. Their relationship was unsteady. It’s stronger now that Pastor Tim has a role to play.

Slashrat posted:They didn't find the code in the office. They just copied all the computer data to disks and hadn't had a chance to check if it was on there yet. There is no code on the disks. There is no way this show makes something good come out of that storyline. Don isn't some fuckup - he is very good at what he does and reached out to help out someone he believed to be a close friend of his wife and someone who cared about his family, and then ultimately trying to make things good for a mistake he didn't even make. If I were a betting man I think these turns of events cause Elizabeth to start doubting what she has devoted her life to. She finally made a friend she enjoyed being with - not the woman she met from AA, but a woman who is also from a country that struggled with communism and ended up in the US doing the right thing for her family. I absolutely adore this show, but I have to believe some very dark things are about to happen. Not bad things happening to bad people, but sad things happening to good people.
