    That opening was amazing.

    Actually everything about this episode was absolutely fantastic. It is possibly the best summation of the series since it hits on little thing about the characters.

    I'm assuming Elizabeth gets restless and wants to get back into the thick of things.

          How did Elizabeth get that cut behind her ear? Was there a struggle that we didn't see after she hit Lisa with the bottle? I figured it was game over for Lisa at that point.

            The only thing I didn't like about the time jump is they never explained if they finally took that poor, sloppy joe lovin', s.o.b, Henry to Epcot or not. I like to think they did take him.

            Otherwise, the episode was perfect.

              Good question. Maybe they'll show a flashback. I wonder if the husband will come back from Florida or wherever he is.

                She might have done it herself to show "struggle" just in case?

                    Despite the slow advance of the story I liked the episode.

                    Young Hee is Elizabeth's Martha, but with a golden opportunity to abort the mission the Russian spy stuck it out. Based on the previews there's a good chance of a

                      The Major Tom song this episode reminded me of the show Deutschland 83 (the intro song for that show), which I'd recommend if you're a fan of this show. It's also set in the 80s, but is set in West Germany and is about a young East German spy. It's a German show, but it has English subtitles provided.

                        Anyone notice that for the first scene in the park, Elizabeth was wearing a raspberry beret? I'm sure that wasn't planned since it was filmed before Prince's death, just a funny coincidence.

                        I remember watching that Day After movie on cable as a kid. I thought it was a bit cheesy.

                          If anybody wasn't alive or old enough in 1983, but has some morbid curiosity:

                          Elizabeth isn't a full on robot anymore? She's developing...feelings.

                            You don't think she's exhibited those in the past?

                              Not to the extent she exhibited this past week.

                                Yeah, but even as it pertains to Young Hee, she showed those emotions before this last episode. It was obvious Elizabeth liked her and greatly enjoyed their time together, like when they got a freebie at the movie theater.

                                And it's not like she hasn't had empathy for people in the crossfire before, like the guy in the warehouse who said he had a wife and kids, or the elderly lady with the heart condition who she had to kill.
