A few more short thoughts upon second viewing before I dash off to work:
• It's unclear to me why the shooting of Vlad was in the previouslies. Anybody have any thoughts on what memory or emotion that was intended to jog for us?
• Who thinks Paige is going to notice just how much time her mother is spending pacing nervously and staring out windows?
• I loved how when Martha brought up the murders, Philip immediately turned around because he knew he was at risk for breaking character. Such a great touch.
• The bachelor weekend that Stan's friend wanted to book was from March 12-14--just localizing the date a bit better.
• Oleg is totally flirting with Nina, but Nina's having none of it so far. I think he's coming across as totally slimy, but he's definitely going to be a great foil for her.
• Nina's superior "this is your first posting" stuff was a bit over-the-top, though. I mean, sure, she's more experienced and she's been there longer, but this is her first posting too.
• Any thoughts on why Arkady was talking to the walk-in through the door? Obviously it was procedure for them not to be alone in a room together, but why?
• It's interesting that Emmett never let his agent see him or know his American name, even though they were clearly friends. It's more like Philip with Anneliese or Martha without all the duplicity, then, than it is like Elizabeth and Gregory, where there were probably a whole lot of secrets, but no outright lies. I wonder why Emmett made that choice.
• Emmett's agent let on what the mission was--or at least the bits of it he knew about. I love how that story is unfolding slowly, how they're getting further bits of the bigger picture in each episode.
• I enjoyed watching Martha stand up to Clark when he didn't want her to get a gun. It's good to see her not just being a doormat.
• Any thoughts on the bit from the final scene where Philip says: "It'll be tomorrow if they [the Center] want us to go?" Go where?
