Storyline

- TriviaAt 13:38, when Sofia Kovalenko is talking about the Soviet national hockey team, Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) replies, "Sure, yeah. I know the Soviet national team". This seems to be a nod to the 2004 movie, "Miracle", in which Noah Emmerich played the 1980 Team USA assistant coach, Craig Patrick. Team USA went up against, and defeated, the heavily favored Soviet national team and ultimately won the gold medal in the 1980 Olympics.

this specific episode has at least two directly contrasted, beautifully crafted and acted, scenes, with great emotional impact, that would, in addition, make any intelligent person think about lots of things, both in and out of the series.
this TV show is great precisely because of its willingness to develop and explore complex characterizations and motivations. it also explores values that guide people and societies. nobody is perfect or simple. there are multiple motives for actions within each character. different characters may engage in same or similar actions, due to very different or similar motives, even though they may or may not have much in common. from the first, series took its time to do all that, instead of rushing things.
show demands a lot from viewers. it explains some things, hints at others, and for others it lets viewers completely on their own. it is willing to let viewers feel uncomfortable and uneasy. it certainly won't give easy solutions, or in some cases any solution at all.
there was and are some enjoyable action sequences, though less after the first two seasons. but anyone sticking with the series would know by now that action sequences are only a secondary pleasure here.
in reply to other review, i would say paige was there from the first, and her far from perfect, whining self, is part of the fabric of this series, and she is more integral to its unique tone,than any of the rather interchangeable spying missions.
