I'm not as excited about this episode as everybody else.. I guess this goes back to the fact that the Anton story doesn't make sense to me, going back to the previous episode.
It didn't make sense to me either. The deal wasn't much of a deal at all--nearly the same number of Jews were permitted to leave in 1981.
7. Elizabeth and Martha - just wow. Martha is becoming much more human now. But to repeat a question already asked: who starts talking to somebody about her brother's sexual prowess? And which sister would actually want to know? Was Elizabeth asking because she wanted to know, or because she thought she should in-character? Anyway, the scene was done very well, and didn't seem as awkward as it could have been. "He just makes me his" - doesn't he?
I thought that was way awkward myself. No one I know starts talking about their sex life with their in-laws--no matter how drunk they are. Actually, no one I know talks about their sex life period. I wasn't really buying that scene at all, unless Elizabeth slipped a little something extra into the wine.
