Odd set of shots when Elizabeth is getting dried. Why not just have an on-screen caption saying 'body double'?

Gosh, 'chopped and shaped' food pretending to be something else in 1981 (the 'Salsbury (sp?) steak').

1967 - work sex at home! Remind me when they arrived in the US?

Ha! "I thought one of them was having an affair or something..."

Derek should have run away - it's clear he knows he's in a murder/kidnap situation very early on. Don't the rooms have fire alarms etc?

Finger prints!! On the plastic covering of the sheet on the propeller and crowbar.

Why use different names with the aunt Helen? Ahhhh.

Ah ha, this is why Dameran was sacrificed.

(About the local hockey team) 'largely untalented' :) He would also need to explain 'scalping' to a UK audience - it's 'ticket touting' here. Being a capitalist was what got Nina into trouble...

Burning the letter - I can see why it was written 'The Soviets are not evil: look, your parents were Soviet spies!!' and why it had to be destroyed. Writing it helped her, but reading it wouldn't help him. Or anyone else. (Except, perhaps, the FBI if they ever knew about it.)

So, at the end, this is another episode with some very good acting - both in character (like the aunt's reaction to Paige walking in) and as actors (Keri Russell in particular, as ever).

As well as the title, does this win a prize for the number of lines we know are ironic? As well as the 'not tolerating lying', there's the hamburger pretending to be 'steak', and the stuff about Polaris - also the name of a cold war missile system, of course - being constant while other things move around them? (And why does anyone need a star chart to find it?)
