This show is fantastic. The action this season has been a bit slow but it seems like every week is a complete mindfrick.

Yeah. I can see it really ramping up the final two episodes of this season to tee up the final season next year.

The internal conflict in this season is just immense. Going to be interesting to see how this all plays out

What do you think the end game is for Oleg? His storyline has had a lot of screen time this season(which i love), but im just wondering where thats going?

I think he tries to bite off more than he can chew and take down people that are too powerful and it doesn't end well for him

I have no clue what is going on with the Russian that Stan recruited. Who is she and what is she doing?

oleg's storyline has been fantastic ... didn't know what to expect last night after last week's ending ... show's done a great job over the years of creating empathy for two very cold blooded killers ...

She works for a Russian news agency so they were seeing if they could get any information from a tangential source like her. She quickly became involved with a former Soviet hockey player who we met last night. After that meeting Stan believes she has unknowingly been compromised and the hockey player is working for the KGB.

Stan and Dennis's looks when hockey player tried to shake them down were priceless.

He's freaking out. He's seeing Nina all over again and he's coming undone about it.

The hockey player/courier "dangle" is really interesting.

I don't see Philip and Elizabeth coming out of this alive.

No, I mean Henry killing mom and dad. It seems like he's being set up for a big, big fall. Parents are getting older and much less certain about what they're doing, and they've said nyet to Twan's ruthlessness with that Russkie teenager. I think they might leave Henry behind, but the U.S. government will have other ideas.

They could bail to Ecuador to work with Father Tim in the end.

Well, that is what happened earlier in the series to another illegal family when the son found out. I doubt it though.

I could actually see Paige doing it when she finds out more of what her parents have been doing for Mother Russia and that they lied to her about the wheat scheme (i.e., that the USA was not the evil monster her parents were saying). The diary entries from Pastor Tim that they all read in the darkroom could be a troubling foreshadowing.
