Noah Emmerich directs in the most heart-racing episode of season 3 yet. Maybe it's because he knows this series so well, but Mr. Emmerich shows us suspense and pacing par excellence. The episode had too many highlights to count, but it's the action scenes that were kick-in-the-head this week. Even clever Hans didn't have a clue as to what might go down while playing "silent" look-out for a Jennings operation in a boring-ass part of DC. His expression in a few fleeting final frames summed up my amazement as well. Priceless. All this action went down in an impossible to breathe 3 minute coda; If it was much longer I would have had to reach for my albuturol. (Small spoiler: Delectably, the action is "virtually" set into motion with a time-machine guitar solo from Fleetwood Mac's "Break the Chain".) A very fierce Episode of THE best show on TV right now. And to Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys: you guys rock my world. All I can add is wow.
