- GoofsThe ECHO disk lacks all classified markings. The disk should have a red jacket to visually identify it. It should also have labels marking it as TOP SECRET with it's code word and declassification information.
- Quotes
Philip Jennings: [about Paige, after she's returned from a trip with her Christian group to an anti-nuclear demonstration] If she said one more thing about nonviolent resistance, I was gonna punch her in the face.
Featured review
Very strong episode with massive implications for the future of the Jennings family
The Jennings' receive some disturbing information about the KGB's future plans, whilst Stan makes an important decision.
This is a very strong finish to the second series that wraps up the stories and brilliantly hooks you in for the ongoing show narrative.
There is virtually nothing I can say about plot details without spoiling. It's safe to say that not only are the big questions answered, but larger and more disturbing questions are asked, that compel you to watch the next series. The writing is very clever, as always, containing parallels between people, interesting character development and substantial amount or irony.
All performances are brilliant with Noah Emmerich, Matthew Rhys, Owen Campbell, John Carroll Lynch and Holly Taylor particularly good.
The cinematography and editing is as strong as ever with some excellent visual story telling, particularly in the scenes involving Stan and Nina.
I had mixed feelings on scoring it. I was largely able to guess what happens in the two main plots, but bowled over by the final ten or so minutes that put an entirely different perspective on life for the Jennings. Looking back at the season as a whole and I can see the relevance of all the character development leading to these scenes. The writing is methodical and I am now questioning the 'why' on everything, wondering what it might mean for the direction of the show.
I laughed out loud at the reviewer who gave it 1/10. Some of the things presented on screen are obviously taken literally by some people.
Not perfect, but almost, so I'm giving it 9.5/10 and round upwards.
