This episode has to have set the record for "Number of Times Naughty Bits Were Almost Shown On TV But Were Well-Hidden On Standard Cable".

Holy CRAP that folding scene.

Oleg has been an unlikeable twat from the beginning. He first shows up picking on Nina, almost like a kid with a crush, then is enraged she's in prison. That standoff was interesting- it was Stan in a standoff with Commie Stan.

e- Philip's outfit makes him look like a character from the cop show depicted in the Beastie Boys' Sabotage video.

I feel like I've posted this before, but it's going to be fun as hell to see what happens as Elizabeth and her dogged, determined loyalty toward the :ussr: doesn't immediately convert Bible-loving Paige into an agent for Mother Russia.

I get the feeling Elizabeth is thinking she'll say "Wow! This will be fun! The USSR sounds like such a great place and we can defeat these Capitalist pigs...TOGETHER!" and she's bullheaded enough to believe that it'll be so.

...but I typed that as I watched the last few minutes on a DVR delay.

How did Clark convince Martha to take the bug into the FBI office (or, for that matter, steal files) for him anyway? I can't remember despite having seen the whole series.

As far as Northrop lady is concerend - Eliz has built a friendship and paved the way to her new job, which I remember is like the person who deals in some way with security clearance, which would be a handy to thing to know about. She talked about her new bf (Philip) and that they meet because he is from a Northrop competior(?) who paid Eliz to answer questions about her work. I am thinking they will try and pay her off to reveal sensitive information iirc?

As usual with this show, it's Elizabeth (or Philip) befriending/aligning with someone under a false persona with the goal of collecting something for the Soviets.

Was her fake character supposed to be in AA or some other form of rehab, which was her in to the woman from Northrop?

And that was the least convincing Philip wig. Looked like Alice Cooper.

This. The old woman making conversation to take her mind off the impending end as she's being forced to overdose on her meds. This is it and it doesn't get any worse.

I wonder if there's a Soviet training seminar on this.

Was Elizabeth's mom living in East Berlin? There was mention of Liz and Paige being smuggled "across the border", but was it said that she was in Berlin the whole time or are they treating it as though they were smuggled into the USSR to see her?

BIG HEADLINE posted:

The Center brought her mother from her home to West Berlin rather than risk blowing Liz's cover getting them across and then back over the border. Every single person going over the border in those days in either direction were photographed heavily, and scrutinized more closely than any place else. Disguises wouldn't have worked, and they weren't about to show a 15 year old one of their ~sekret~ tunnels.

Thanks, I figured it stayed in Berlin. I didn't think they were suggesting (and I've just seen the scene all the way through, caught bits and pieces the first time through because I was tied up) they came all the way from the Russian border, though as ridiculous as that sounds, Justified always treated Lexington and Harlan as if they were 20 minutes apart.

I think the season was the weakest of the three, but still fairly good. It was much better than Justified's "off" season (S5), but the Apartheid and Soviet/Afghan stuff (Philip having another son aside) was sort of slow.

Sober posted:

Well, I stand corrected.

They tried to sugarcoat it the best they could and heavily implied they were spies without actually using the word. Sort of one of those "Well, I wasn't going to say that, but since you did, yeah" type things.

Kind of felt like "Oh drat...we didn't really practice how we were going to tell Paige this.".
