Re: Philip and Elizabeth's fight

"You just wanted to fuck her." Wow. That would kill off some relationships. Especially as we know it's not true, but it's good writing that he doesn't say that - he knows it, we know it, and in this state, Elizabeth wouldn't acknowledge that she knows it.

This feels like the second (interesting!) time the show's played out a sort of classic misogynist scene with the genders reversed. That whole thing of Elizabeth performing a new emotional connection leading up to her pimping Philip out and then turning around and calling him a whore for doing it seems like something you usually see male characters doing to women in one form or another.
