Treon's thoughts

I liked the light humor in this ep.

- We had two Russian spies actually considering not telling their country of a new threat, because that might be a bigger threat, and we also had Oleg's story, about a Russian officer going against orders and in fact saving the world from a nuclear war. There's a sort of despondency about the way it's all being treated. The self-made threats might be bigger than the American ones, and there's not much the Russians can do about it.

- Philip tells Paige he's trying to prevent a disaster, but he's not sure that the decisions he's making won't lead to exactly that (re the virus). William confided in Philip because he didn't want to take responsibility for the decision, but that means he's forcing the decision on P&E. I don't think Elizabeth is bothered too much by it, because for her everything is black and white no matter what, but it's not so easy for Philip.

- If the USSR needs better missile detection systems, shouldn't they get agents working on that, instead of the virus which might not be used against them?

- Phillip gets more sleep, and Elizabeth stays up all night.

- Why is the Church expecting kids to show up in the mornings?

- I was sure something was going to happen to the Camaro, but no. The drive went by without a hitch, and so did Elizabeth's mission, apparently. "Major Tom" as a background for this is really foreboding.

- How old is Paige supposed to be now?

- Paige is now also playing computer games, I'm not sure we saw that before. I still wonder why the KGB got them that computer.
