[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the writing has really gone off the rails. Nick can just take a jaunt to Canada? Lawrence can take secret calls? I just don’t understand what’s happening. Waterford flipped for what, asylum in Canada? And I just don’t get what intelligence he has that will help anyone. Prisoner exchange would have made more sense than informant.

I don’t think that’s how/when Hot Diplomat would have told them about a deal with Fred.

Plus, why wouldn’t Nick flip and defect to Canada? Is it because of worrying about his new wife, is that what the ring thing was about?

I don’t care any more about Elizabeth Moss’s face. I thought the catholic school stuff was hokey. [/quote]

Agree, it was really bizarre and drawn out.  None of it made sense.  [b]Why wouldn't Nick just leave[/b].[/quote]

I agree. The world-building had gone off the rails this season. The writers are asking us to suspend disbelief but it’s too much.[/quote]

Probably his printer broke so he couldn't print out a Canada ID.

j/k though I think it was the wife thing. We haven't met her but presumably if he defected, she would be killed/sent to the colonies/whatever.

Another sloppy thing I didn't like - an Aunt referred to the "breeding colony." I don't think she would have used that term in front of Aunt Lydia. They called it a Magdalene camp or something iirc. I just think they're phoning it in. Possibly because they were literally phoning it in, I think. Zooming. [/quote]

The writers have used a few different tactics to show that Lydia has lost the respect of the other aunts. I don’t think that’s sloppy- they’re illustrating an evolution in the power dynamic.[/quote]
