Season Finale Paige kills Pastor Tim to prove herself to her parents and Henry + two friends walk in on her clumsily moving the body

Paige keeps doing things she thinks she "should", and it's escalating. Snooping to diary reading to diary pix. So yeah. Tim will turn down the job, and shell set him up, fake some evidence, or kill him.

I hate when people put like a color filter over the camera lens, like in the movie Traffic where wow Mexico is yellow, that was extremely hacky and here it's more subtle but they seem to put a dark tint or blue over all the USSR scenes.

Ah, yes, FX and its "Just one episode left until the season finale" bullshit. Can't wait for my dad to text tomorrow asking if there are one or two episodes left this season.

I don't normally watch the preview but Claudia's reaction to "We'd like to go home now" is going to be good.

It's there to show what it is that P&E are fighting for. And to demonstrate the absurd weirdness that was the USSR in the 80s.

Look at Oleg. He's intelligent, educated, and was chosen for the prestigious honor of working in the very heart of the Main Enemy. His father is a minister, which makes him part of the Nomenklatura, and they've been really subtle about pointing out what that really means, like the offhand comment about getting his boss into a 'special' store. Yes, in the worker's paradise, your subordinate might get to shop at a fancy store because of who his father is, while you and he track down why your country, which has more good farmland than America has total size, is starving, while at the same time you can't actually answer this question, or that very same country will consign you to a mental ward for anti-state and counter-revolutionary thought. And the guy that signs the order knows that you're perfectly correct.

I was expecting Oleg to find his father's name in the ledger, but I think that's coming later. His father already basically admitted to him that he used his authority to get his mother out of prison, using it to get better food would be a trivial sidestep to him.

I don't think a minister of his level would really need to jump through hoops to get better food for the family. He was already simply more equal than others.

Philip had very "sad man in a suit lovely wig" look about him this time and I can hardly blame him. What a lovely job they got. Henry at the FBI though, was simply amazing, as was the P&E's reaction :laffo:

I'm really surprised how sympathetic this season has made Oleg's dad. Judging by past seasons I was expecting him to be twirling his mustache by this point, not coming off as kind of cool by sticking with his wife when most Russian men didn't.

I really think this might've been the episode where Philip might realize that to end this and save Paige and Henry that he might have to kill his 'true believer' wife, especially since by her saying she wants to go back to Russia, that's pretty much a de-facto "no" to Henry going to private school, since it'd complicate an extraction.

You've got a while to wait, since I think it was Season 2 when one of them (not going to say which but it should be obvious) starts getting curious, and not until Season 3 when they finally do something about it.

Do you think Elizabeth wanted to spare him his wife's execution? Or make Anna watch her husband's?

The latter, or she'd have shot them both in quick succession. She wanted her to see the death of a man that mattered to her.

Neither of them were getting out of that room alive anyway, since P&L went really light on their costumes.

Phil's dad had to be the bad guy in order to survive. Pretty brutal scene.
