Thanks Tatiana!!

I would say I cannot believe she told Ressler, but I just knew it would be in the script.....

Totally frightening - Anna McMahon's cohort is one of the creepiest, if not THE CREEPIEST, BIG BAD we've been exposed to! Agree or disagree!

Big Bad Buzzer - I like your temporary name!

Yes, this was a creepy show on several levels.

I don't know why this show is getting into insects, now bees. Shades of the X-Files, for sure! I remember when a deadly bee broke up the kiss between Scully and Mulder in the first movie.

Honestly, I didn't expect a lot this week. I was on my second glass of wine when the show started, and I nibbled my way through several crackers and some delightful sharp cheddar cheese from Iowa's Amish Country. I was too mellow to yell at the screen, but Liz was really running her mouth tonight. She should've kept quiet about finding her grandfather and trusting Red enough to bring Agnes home. (Yes, I know that for the sake of the script, it had to happen.)

I had deceased Tom's voice running through my head at that point: "He's not who you think he is!"

(And just HOW did Tom know that anyway, if he did . . . there are still some loose ends I wish the show runners would tie up)

Present Red is not Ilya, either, in my opinion.

Plus we, the audience, were mired in twins tonight. So who else is a twin? Is Liz a twin? The guy we know as RR? Anyone else?

Whatever. Before the season ends, I'd like at least a glimpse of Dembe and a shadowy shot of either KR or her grave.

I think Ressler represents a high percentage of the audience when he says the Ilya story doesn't make sense. (I think this was my favorite part of the episode.) Even Liz says the Ilya story has holes, and she admits she likes it because it's sweet. Liz gives us the extra tidbit that Ilya was in the Cabal.

My least favorite part was Red explaining how conflicted he feels because he can't kill Liz. He makes me so mad sometimes!

There's something about Agnes that is just creepy to me. Does anyone else think so?

The kidnapping and experimenting on the multiples was chilling, and I wish more time was alotted for that storyline. Tying the story into Anna McMahon diminished it's impact in my opinion. It had a Twilight Zone feel to it that I liked, but I wanted to know more about the experiments on the other groups of children.

We get the foreshadowing of the Liz "chosen one" story. What is it that makes her so special? I wonder if we'll get any hints in the next two episodes.

Cooper drives home the idea it's not biology that makes a family, and Liz takes heed. She shares her idea that Red will always be her father and Agnes' grandfather, no matter what. It's a sweet thing for her to offer Red those roles - considering what a butthead he was last week and earlier in this episode.

I find myself not caring much about the plot against America, Anna McMahon and Diaz. I just want to see Ressler investigate Ilya Koslov.

Iowa Watcher - I think we will see Dembe next week and someone we are supposed to think is Katarina in the finale.

She's part Tom's, and Tom was very creepy. I still think Tom and Liz were some sort of genetic experiment and whatever special spy powers were invested in them are tripled in Agnes.

I just don't like her name. The name Agnes is more from my era.

That would be awesome! That and no more dang bugs!

I liked that part a lot, too. There's no doubt that the show runners are setting us up to question Dom's tale.

Tuxie, that's the best summation I've heard. If I get my laptop working I'll have more to add.

Big Badd Bazzer · 5/03/2019 9:23 pm

immo it will be Dembe who comes to the rescue of LIz/Red/Ressler/Aram/Harold/Dom, etc. when Diaz gets around to them!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your thoughts on this one.

I think this is a good prediction!

Eastcoast · 5/03/2019 11:00 pm

Agreed! Never liked that name for her, Agnes.

BBBuzzer, We all are grateful for when you bring the humor. It is much needed on here at times. Lol
Her cohort looks like he belongs in a creep show with that blank expression on his face, no emotion whatsoever.

IW, I feel your pain. I am saying to myself, No, No, shut it up, stop! Ressler will be like a dog with a bone. He already wants to tell Cooper. Liz said his name over and over so he is not likely to forget it. Part of the Cabal.... He is going to find out about Dom being Oleander. This is going to be a big mess. Very creepy show! , it More twins.

Red does not want her to bring Agnes home yet. I think he knows this is not good because Liz knows and does not realize that just because a lot of years have passed by, it does not mean no one is in danger.
It looked like a fake Susan Hargrave with Agnes.

Tuxie, I am with you on the way Red acted. I do not think after hearing that I could believe he could be either parent. I thought of the Kilgannon episode, but that show did not have the same feel as what we have seen out of Red and Liz. Like comparing apples with oranges for me.

Ressler using the phrase "chosen one" was interesting.

I liked this episode. It moved right along and touched on a lot of different things that are going on at the same time.

I do wonder about Liz's motives for all of her revealings. I can't help but think she's setting up something of her own and her information is being used as seeds to sow and reap even more information. I find it hard to believe she's gone back to being the Liz that falls for everything that she started out as.

Chosen ones and special ones, we're back to those again. Red is the one who has to follow her around like a faithful bloodhound because she is special. He can't harm her. He has shown that he can change his code up a bit if he wants to, though. Her immunity extended to Tom for awhile. Red couldn't kill him as long as he was protected by Liz's love. She was right - love wins. At least sometimes.

So Brimley's kid is part of the family business? That was funny. Always good to see Brimley or Glen from time to time. I hate to think what they were doing with the bees, though.

I just get the feeling that Ressler is going to find something out that he won't be able to tell Liz about.

But back to the Plot Against America and The Dossier. How much do you want to bet that Aram is the one who locates it?

Eastcoast · 5/04/2019 12:11 am

HW, he was getting his avocados pollinated!! 😥

Brimley's son cracked me up! They casted him perfectly.

I had that impression HW. Ressler will find something he can't tell her because he feels like she has some peace about who she is, or Red will catch on and threaten him.
