Vicki unleashes her second "I don't understand" at Liz, in the basement, unless I'm miscounting.
Jason McGuire is the glorious weasel who has the gall and confidence to walk into a situation where others have power, and grab it for himself, armed just with his own glib tongue and his wits. If this were (classic) Doctor Who, he'd be the weaselly but wily human who sells Earth out to invading aliens, for a piece of the action. I enjoy that kind of character. I think I even have a bit of reluctant admiration.
Carolyn to said weasel: "I really must insist on knowing who you are." This line makes Carolyn seem so much more adult and grounded than she used to be, and the line is delivered so that it sounds easy and natural coming off her tongue. It occurred to me to wonder, though, if any character in 2012 would ever say such a thing. If not, is it because people aren't quite as adult anymore?
Apparently Malcolm Marmorstein would keep mailing in long, interesting speeches for Dennis Patrick, and DP would love them, but he felt a bit like a workhorse, learning and delivering them each day....
Lydia-- Yes, Vicki should learn Jason's technique. When he's sticking his Bob Hope nose in where it doesn't belong, you're not even sure you're being interrogated... yet he finds out every last thing he wants to know.
