The Paige stuff was good. ... Actress is super good but I also realized she's in her twenties so her performance is less impressive to me now.

If it matters, Holly Taylor was born in 1997 so it's possible the only season she's filmed in her twenties is the one in production right now.

Speaking of which

drat I can't wait for this show to come back. Thanks for reminding me to re-watch S6; I have a feeling it will pace better with binge-watching than it did week to week.

That's likely why I stopped watching it, and why I enjoyed it when I came back. I'm confident this season will hold up pretty well in retrospect.

That trailer was pretty good. Tried not to pay too close attention to anything.

there's a couple of Le Carré quotes that might serve as inspiration.

quote:

[The Cold War] was over long before it was officially declared dead.
“Do you know what love is? I'll tell you: it is whatever you can still betray.”
“[Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-night drive, we are] the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen.”
“Survival...is an infinite capacity for suspicion.”
“It's the oldest question of all, [George]. Who can spy on the spies?”

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

A secret room... always my favourite room in a house.
I just really hope this show has a good ending. I also really hope it isn't a happy ending... but bitter sweet for some characters would be nice.

I really think Elizabeth will die, Phillip will kill Stan with his cover blown and will have to escape to Russia (ironically since he's always the one who wanted to stay permanently in USA), Page will somehow keep her cover intact and continue spying for Russia, and Henry... well no one cares about Henry. I think it will be bitter sweet with Phillip being able to go be with his son and Martha (the plotlines last season will make zero sense if this doesn't happen). I have no idea what they will do with Oleg though.

I feel like Philip dying for the cause he no longer believes in and Elizabeth being haunted by that would be a more appropriate ending. I love the show, but live by the misery porn, die by the misery porn.

So can we assume that there is going to be a timeskip early in the season? Because from the preview Paige is running operations.

This sort of show almost has to have time skips just to keep up with the rapid aging of the young actors.

I don't think she was 'running' an operation so much as being used in an op; 'You're young and innocent looking, so go into this building, find this file, pull it out, and if you get caught, just say you were running away from a scary guy that was chasing you and you ducked into the building to hide.'

If she survives, I still want one last timeskip to Elizabeth's reaction to the fall of the USSR and, in turn, everything she fought for and believed in being for naught.

They should timeskip to 1990 and show the gang going about their normal lives, insterspersed with short flashbacks to 1988-1989.

Henry will be missing the entire time, leading everyone to speculate how Henry died.

Then he'll just show up in the final episode like he was always there. Turns out he was just hanging out with his girlfriend and being good at math the whole time.

There were some really good songs released in 87.

I mean there are really good songs released every year, but there are some excellent needle drops they could use.
