Question of the week #53

[treonb]

What are three things that you're hoping to see happen in Season 4?

You can expect spoilers for the entire first three seasons in the comments.

(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

1. Pastor Tim goes to the FBI - though I can't figure out how he can do it without this being game over.

2. Philip's and Elizabeth's differences erupt somehow.

3. Martha turns on Philip.

And, on the other hand, I'd like to see more humor.

1. He goes... but suffers a fatal 'accident' en route.

The problem is that it's the getting there I'm more interested in... But if Pastor Tim gets killed off, I wonder how that would affect Paige. She could end up going completely crazy.

I really, really, REALLY want to see Martha turn on Philip. A lot of those women in real life ended up killing themselves. If Martha's going to die, I'd rather that she go out with some self respect.

Besides, she has that gun for a reason. She's got to shoot somebody with it. Maybe Clark, maybe someone else.

I can barely wait to see how they resolve the situation with Pastor Tim. I think he'd want to talk to Elizabeth and Philip himself before he'd call the FBI. They know that he's vain and anti-nuke so perhaps they could end up convincing him that they're working to prevent a nuclear war and end up getting him to be on their side. Paige would not know what to do. Or they could just kill him. Again, I don't think that Paige would know what to do.

I fully expect Philip and Elizabeth's differences to blow up in their faces this season. They've been tiptoeing around those differences for the entire show. Now Philip is coming undone and no longer believes in anything except protecting his family but at the same time that Elizabeth has been galvanized by Reagan's evil empire speech. These two need each other more than ever but they want very different things. That's so dangerous for them.

The problem is, I don't want to see him cast adrift when he has nobody else to anchor him.
