I completely forgot that Elizabeth was shot in the first season.

 

Yeah, she was out for a couple months between S1 finale and the S2 premier

 

Holy shit time skip

 

Fantastic episode, felt like it could've been a finale. Elizabeth and Phillip are terrifying when they snap.

 

That epilogue was so upbeat that I almost expected somebody to murder a Jennings child on the front lawn

 

What an amazing show this is, fuck.

 

I can't believe we still have 5 episodes left in the season in what felt like it could have been a finale. This show is so fucking great.

 

Everything about that episode was perfect.

 

What an amazing hour of television. I thought it was a finale there for a second. So many things, I don't even know where to begin.

 

Judging from next week's preview things are going to unravel really soon.

 

Wow. This felt so much like a finale that I had to look it up right after to make sure it wasn't. Can't wait for next week.

Also, Paige has been really interesting to watch this season.

 

Love that Matthew Rhys directed that episode.

Has Matthew Rhys directed any other episodes this series? It's the first time I've noticed seeing his name as director.

 

I think that was his first, but Noah Emmerich has directed a few.

 

Just caught up on last week's episode. Absolutely incredible. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store.

 

If the Centre actually tries to take down Philip and Elizabeth, that will be the dumbest decision they (the Centre) have made the entire series.

 

Alison Wright better get a Supporting Actress nomination this year.

 

I honestly can't believe Martha survived. Good for her.

Hopefully she doesn't die now that I said that.

 

This show keeps killing it with the song selections, Major Tom was an excellent choice.

 

So are they using Don(sp?) as a way to grant William Stage 4 clearance? Their plan is to just threaten him with the fact that he slept with Elizabeth and she will tell Yung Hi(sp?) I'm just a bit confused and where that family fits in to everything.

Paige has been very impressive this season as a young actress. They've asked a lot of her, but she has nailed her part.

 

That seems to be the plan but I'm not exactly sure how it's going to work. I agree about Holly Taylor, she has nailed every scene she's been in.

 

The best decision was turning Paige into this agent keeping an eye on the pastor and his wife. Brilliant move to give her something important to do for the family. And realistic for her character.

 

R.I.P Gaad :(

 

Between Nina, Martha and now Gaad, they're really writing out a lot of characters this season.
