S01.E07: The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb


Recommended Posts

It was weird that the President had people with him while he was taking a shower.  I'm assuming that he hugged the engineer while he was naked, too.  Wynter was very cold (no pun intended!), when he just wanted the engineer to move on to the next problem without thanking him for fixing the outstanding issue.

This show throws so much out there, I forgot that people were rushing out of the White House for some reason.  Facing an actual attack would have been so scary.  It was good to see the bonding that came after the fact, I'm not sure it lasted long.  LOL at the First Couple leaving behind the drunk mother.

Huge respect for the lack of subtitles in the opening scene.  It would have been intrusive and totally unnecessary.  I have enough Spanish to get the gist, but firmly believe it would be perfectly clear what was going on even if I didn't.   Or having them speak in English?  Would have been even worse.   Yay to assuming viewers have a brain.

That's weird.  I had subtitles.  I'm glad, too.  My high school Spanish would have given me just enough to get a bit of it, but I would have been annoyed at not knowing the rest.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the scene we've seen a few times with people running out the door (towards the back lawn) was from the night of the State dinner, not of the attack, which I think was months earlier.  I'm not sure if it's been explained why people were running out the door the night of the State dinner.  

I was wondering when we were going to get to the housekeeper.  They focused on her in the first episode or two, when Cordelia was going down the hall of the basement and Elyise was shutting the laundry room door.  I figured they would get back to it.

OMG.  That was hilarious, and totally unexpected!  

I've been loving Harry the last few episodes.  A great departure from how we saw him the night of the State dinner.  I also loved the police chief going into extreme detail about Lily's background.  

At this point, I have absolutely no idea who killed AB.  I'm really hoping they don't pull someone out of nowhere.  My guess is that it isn't any of the "interesting" people we've already seen.  My top 3 guesses (really just wild guesses) are the President, the First Gentleman, and the curator lady.  

(Edited to add:  Jasmine has also been on and off my "who did it" list from the beginning.  But I really don't want it to be her.)

I sort of missed having no congressional hearing scenes this episode.  I love the Franken vs. Senator from Colorado scenes.

Yes, the cut scene of people running out was of during the State dinner.  It was explained that a Secret Service vehicle crashed into the South (?) gate.
