That was a pretty cool cameo by Martha. And yeah I am actively rooting against the CIA as well here

Strange little flashback to a young Phillip. Guess we see the rest of that scene at some point.

Kind of a boring this week but I guess it's meant to set up some future episodes

Poor Randy. He should have asked.


too bad these guys don't realize they are dead already and don't tell them anything.

I still think this is NOT a plan to use them as a weapon.
A starving USSR would be very dangerous. Plus, it would only serve to punish the Soviet people, and that wasn't Reagan's style.


I'm know the CIA or some other agencies did or least thought of/tested some F'ed up stuff (and the USSR was worse) but I've never heard of a plan like this. I also know Weisberg is a liberal democrat and has ridiculed Reagan, particularly the "Evil Empire" comment (history I think vindicates Reagan there) so I'm thinking this is a creation of the writers and is a plan to destroy the USSR crops. Carter did impose a grain embargo that Reagan reversed (guessing they won't mention that ) and in reality, the embargo seemed to help show the Soviets they didn't need grain from the US.

Still chaps me that they are so indignant about destroying their food, when Uncle Joe starved their own people on purpose and commies in Ethiopia were do the same at that time

Even though we probably won't see her again, good to know that Martha hasn't been shot or sent to a gulag or something. And I think she was still wearing that same coat she had on when she left the US. Hopefully they gave her some new clothes besides the head scarf.

Yeah but I don't think they knew that at the time. I could be wrong. However there was a good scene last night when Philip realized in the hotel that they have tons of farm land and somehow can't grow enough food for their own people and have to import. You can see he was just realizing that something wasn't adding up

i'm really hoping that was more than a cameo. i have been waiting for plot lines to start to connect, and they're all getting VERY close
