Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
Did anyone else think that the actor who plays Wilkes has STRONG Obama-isms? Vocal inflection, mannerisms, smile?
Also, I kind of think Daniel's nurse ladyfriend is Red Room. Also possibly the actress. (Though it seems like maybe the Zero Matter is...inside her? Or at least some of it?)
I'm curious as to how subtle the Senator is going to be about what I'm sure is Thompson's (Thomlinson?) Hydrafication. And if T-whomever will have enough backbone to resist.

He reminded me a little more of Tim Russ, but I get what you're saying.
I agree the racial stuff seemed off, but I enjoyed having Peggy back on TV again (and I love Mrs. Jarvis.)

Oh yeah.
I don't know, I think these writers and the showrunner aren't necessarily telegraphing that a woman is an evil secret agent or criminal mastermind just because she seems awesome. I mean, they did for Dottie and Whitney Frost, but I don't think it needs to be universal.

I was going for the blonde thing, myself.
I hope she's not evil. I'd like Daniel to have to make a choice between Peggy and a good woman who isn't Peggy.

Yes, distractingly so.
No one has mentioned "Who's this clown?" yet? I laughed so hard at that line (and pan to actual clown) and still laugh when I think about it.
That was the best!

Yes, I'm suspecting all blonde females on the show of being Red Room.

Agree. I'm really hoping Mrs. Jarvis isn't evil because she's awesome.
Can I just say how much I love the way that they used the Hedy Lamar history in this? As they were talking about the radio frequency, I thought "isn't that what Hedy Lamarr invented" and then I got it like a microsecond before they revealed the magazine.
In case you have no idea what I'm talking - Hedy Lamarr
I'm intrigued by Tomlinson, who's taking steps on the road to corruption but seeing what road he's on. Will he take the coward's way he did before? Will he be able to turn himself around? Being corrupt because of weakness is one thing, but seeing it for what it is and doing it anyway is very interesting.
And Doc Hottie is still around! Yay, Howard. And I loved the references to JARVIS. And Jarvis was useful if not completely ept help in a crisis! I miss Ana, though. And Angie, for that matter.
