That is really odd. Seemed most of the episode dealt with family issues - religion, infedelity. I wonder what aspect of the episode he was involved with?

I thought it was pretty obvious it was the whole Nicaragua story line.

Season 2 has been much better than 1 was.

This season is building towards an explosion of some kind. I just can't figure out what yet. I feel like the 1 hour goes by in 10 minutes.

I get lost sometimes, too much information. I need to focus more, i guess.

I hear ya. I'm still not sure what's up with the dude killing all the Russians and the Nicaraguan girl. When he says they killed my friends who does he mean? Are his friends the other Russian spy couple? Maybe it's the people Phillip and Elizabeth killed at that training camp?

I'd have to pick Keri Russell over Claire Danes as best actress on TV right now. She's phenomenal in this role.

It's pretty good, season 2 is much better than season 1 though, imo.

I think it's miles better than Fargo, which seems to be getting much more acclaim as far as FX shows go.

I watched the first 4 last night and loved them. The Reagan assassination attempt episode was really well done.

7 episodes in, still liking it even though it feels like a network show at times

Still digging this, only a couple episodes left in season 1. But they're really dicking us around with the marriage dynamic.

Hang in there. Show improves in Season 2.
