I adore the way the lines "she's just a kid" / "not anymore" could apply to either Paige or Kimmy! :)

So true of so many lines about Kimmy!

There was a picture on Twitter of Paige and Elizabeth in the garage from this ep. I hope that "training" scene is the lead up to Philip giving Paige a dose of reality. They have Elizabeth overpower so many opponents I can't be sure they won't give Paige a win over Philip.

I will throw something at my TV if they show that Paige is now capable of overpowering Philip in a physical fight. She has not nearly had enough training to take on an experienced male opponent. I don't care how much sparring and fight training she's done in the garage with Elizabeth.

[sistermagpie]

It's hard to imagine how it could even be filmed, really. Matthew Rhys would practically have to beat himself up. If Paige landed a hit she'd probably break a finger on him.

[sistermagpie]

According to a still she's absolutely going to knock out a guy 3 times her size who isn't Philip. *rolls eyes*

OMG. Where did you see this? That just defies logic. How long did Elizabeth train with skilled, male officers during her training with the KGB? Paige has trained only with Elizabeth in the garage. Maybe, if she snuck up behind him and caught him completely by surprise and hit him with a rock, I might believe it.

[sistermagpie]

Nope. Presumably she catches him by surprise because he's drunk and doesn't expect it, but she just knocks him off his feet with a punch. She's probably inherited mom's comic book DNA. Wonder if it's a problem that she's showing off her being a superhero in public.

Oh for pity’s sake. I’m going to have to reserve judgement on this until I see the scene. Maybe he man-handles her and she clocks him in the jaw. I could believe that—maybe.

That is an awesome website and I am going to haunt it from now on.
