    can someone please fill me in -- whats the significance of the black woman ? why was she killed?


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭charkee


    in an earlier season elisabeth had a relationship with her partner or sister?? and he was
    an agent for liz and phillip.

    he got caught out by fbi and went down in a blaze of gunfire.

    the centre must have been paying the widow ,maintenance ,but she threatened to go to the police..

    No I don't think that is it at all. If i can recall correctly she is an alcoholic employee of a government agency who Elizabeth got to take pictures of new technology that the U.S army are using or something like that. Her husband was abusive and convinced her to do it for the money Elizabeth was offering. Then he took off and she hit the bottle again and threatened to confess all.

    I think she brought back into this episode to demonstrate that Elizabeth suffers from the ruthless decisions she is forced to make as much as Phillip.

    Northrop Grumman employee, iirc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 801 ✭✭✭Mary63


    She was brought in out of nowhere and with very little background was murdered
    I have followed this season and couldn't work out who she was either.
    Was she a new character in this season.

    thankslast couple of eps have been slower


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,506 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    They always take the foot off the accelerator after a bit of momentum in a burst of 2-3 episodes. There's usually a reflection episode, so to speak.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    ^^^^^^^^^^

    think this season has been the slowest so far (all episodes)

    still haven't got an iota what the korean people are all about..anyone fill me in please?

    As far as I can remember this is true. In the first episode Stan and his family moved into the neighborhood and Elizabeth and Philip were shocked to hear he was a FBI agent.

    Well what people think of the finale on Sunday ?  Not as tense as some of the prev . episodes but left a nice few openings for S4.

    What will I do now without my American Fix :(

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    I enjoyed it but as a finale I was underwhelmed. Really hoping that Paige's love life doesn't become an arc, that's a sure sign they're running out of material.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,021 ✭✭✭whatever76


    * Spoiler Alert - sorry I can't find a way to blank it out.
    Agree - be interesting as well to see how the story develops regarding Philips long lost son 
     Liked that little subtle introduction.

    Stick [/spoiler] at the end of what you want to hide and
    at the start.

    I've reversed the order to avoid hiding half my sentence.


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭charkee


    my favourite series at the moment

    but I felt the season petered out following a mid season peak with the martha story arc.

    there are two more swseasons to go.

    wondering when beaman is going to have the "hank breaking bad moment?

    will it be at end of next season ?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 182 ✭✭rabjoshu


    Excellent start to season 5 last night


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 997 ✭✭✭MrJones1973


    Plot holes . They leave their young kids in the middle of the night ? Who runs the travel agency ?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,489 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Their kids are in their mid teens.
    They have a full staff of travel agents.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 997 ✭✭✭MrJones1973

    At the start of series kids were not even teens. This is season 5. What age would you leave a kid at home? How do they actually run the business ? They are never there

    Paige was 13 in 1981 when it started, and mature for her age. They had a babysitter for a while then Paige was left minding Henry. In the 80s there was nothing remotely unusual about it and Eve today nobody would bat an eyelid. They're regularly shown in the travel agency along with their large staff of, presumably, undercover agents, making a front look like a functioning business.

    I don't think the staff are undercover agents. Philip and Elizabeth always close the door when talking spy stuff and stop talking when staff enter the room. They have on occasion discussed the real operation of the business. They are actually running a genuine functioning travel agency.

    Too much of a lull this season

    Should be fireworks next season with Stan discovering who his neighbours are and then getting bumped off by Elizabeth

    Only Season 1 and 2 on Prime Video Ireland, that's it. The UK service has Season 3 and 4 so you'd have to badger them to license them for Ireland.

    any update when series 5 coming to RTE 2??


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,506 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    Joel Fields (showrunner) said on Twitter it was coming to Amazon on Oct 5th. Confirmed here. Presume it won't be available in Ireland, though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    anyone knows when its returning to RTE ??
