Yes, I would think both the super-religious and also the super-nots would avoid the expressions. Anyhow, you're probably right, just American vernacular, especially the OMG.

I wonder that Elizabeth said "Oh, my god" in response to the missing pastor news and then said "thank God" in response to news that he was ok. I know she doesn't like the church, and assumed that included lack of belief in God as well. And while those expressions are used commonly by many (I guess one doesn't actually have to believe in God to use the expression), it seems she has been militant enough in her beliefs to not use the G word. The plot lines in the show are contrived, but the writers are not sloppy in use of language. My thought that his is part of her having become more Americanized than she even knows seems flimsy, but I feel that it must mean something On on another topic, I enjoyed posters who talked about Stan's long think after hearing about Gaad. It seems a stretch that he would link to Philip, but I agree the show meant us to notice it and I look forward to see what, if anything, he puts together. Maybe he was just counting. Since that four people from that office have died/been killed or disappeared. (Amador, Gene, Martha and now Gaad)

Yes I think so. The guy who questioned spent a lot of time on romantic involvement. An earlier poster suggested that maybe she could have met someone since, but I'm not sure how much time has passed -- seems as though was only a week or so. Although maybe none of the other agents knew she denied romantic involvement.

We saw Clark look at the wedding photo when he went to get Martha a glass of water the morning after she fell asleep on couch. Later, we can see it in the background on a piece of furniture in his apartment. Agreed that the ring seems to be unaccounted for. The other piece that makes me wonder is if they are tapping her phone, then they'd hear Clark's outgoing message and seems hat Stan would easily recognize Philip's voice. I'm still confused by her telling the story of married lover. It makes her a liar -- she said there was nobody during the Taffet questioning.
