dubbel zout April 15, 2023 Share April 15, 2023 As new details about the bombing emerge, Kate struggles to see eye-to-eye with Hal. Prime Minister Trowbridge's fiery remarks at a funeral cause a stir. Drops on Netflix 4/20. Link to comment

Constantinople April 22, 2023 Share April 22, 2023 (edited) From the episode Quote Ambassador Kate Wyler: The atmosphere around the meeting might be improved from our standpoint, with a clarification of the prime minister's remark about Iran. UK Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison: As I understand it, the prime minister was repeating what he'd heard from President Rayburn. What was the phrase? Wyler: That was one head of state to another. Except the UK Prime Minister isn't the head of state, both of whom should know hat, but particularly the UK Foreign Secretary. I know it's not the most important criticism, but it bugs given that writers/showrunner/whomever are otherwise treating this as a subgenre of science fiction as Mindy Kaling would put it. Quote I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world. For me, there is no difference between Ripley from “Alien” and any Katherine Heigl character. They are equally implausible. They’re all participating in a similar level of fakey razzle-dazzle, and I enjoy every second of it. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/10/03/flick-chicks Edited April 22, 2023 by Constantinople 5 Link to comment

kay1864 May 1, 2023 Share May 1, 2023 (edited) We’re supposed to believe that her bathroom phone call lasted 35 minutes? Getting a little tired of female Sheldon Cooper with the bowtie. Way too obvious comic relief. Edited May 1, 2023 by kay1864 1 Link to comment

That character stood out too much to be just a background staffer, but didn't seem to be getting anything significant to do. I was wondering what was going on with them (them per IMDB). I've seen the whole season at this point so (very mild spoiler) Spoiler I guess we were supposed to be noticing them. Edited May 1, 2023 by SoMuchTV 1 Link to comment
pasdetrois May 3, 2023 Share May 3, 2023 I think the actress played a Scottish queen (Mary, Margaret?) in one of the many historical series on one of the many streaming channels. The huge eyes and dopey face made me notice her. Link to comment

That's Georgie Henley, who's the wide-eyed assistant at the ambassador's residence. Ronnie is played by Jess Chanliau. (In case anyone was confused by who was being referenced.) 1 Link to comment
Kel Varnsen May 8, 2023 Share May 8, 2023 I liked this episode and Kate was really good. Especially the part at the end where she told Hal that all his actions were fucking with her head so much she couldn't think straight. Since that is sort of how I was feeling. I especially didn't see the point of the called off assassination attempt. Because either Kate and Hal trust the Iranian guy or not. Saying you called off an assassination doesn't really mean anything since you have no real proof they had planned it in advance.

But I feel like if you are a short relatively skinny white person with short black hair, you should never wear a grey suit with a bowtie. Since even if the bowtie isn't red you are going to look like Pee Wee Herman. 2 7 Link to comment
Paloma May 9, 2023 Share May 9, 2023 I was bored by the first episode (though a little more interested when we rewatched after vacation), but at least something interesting happened in the second episode. Still, the whole kidnapping thing seemed unrealistic. Link to comment
Anela May 29, 2023 Share May 29, 2023 Does he really think that she is right for VP, or does he just not want her to divorce him? Link to comment
dubbel zout May 29, 2023 Author Share May 29, 2023 I think Hal thinks she's right for VP—he's not such an asshole he's going to set up his wife for failure—but it's also a way for him to further his own agenda. 4 Link to comment
Macbeth1966 July 24, 2023 Share July 24, 2023 I am late to the show as usual. But I am all in with the Wyler's marriage. Hal is quite the handful. 😂 Link to comment
