Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe 1956 Summer Olympics held in Melbourne, Australia, was boycotted by Egypt, Iraq, Cambodia and Lebanon (in response to the Suez Crisis), by The Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland (in protest for the Soviet Union's presence in the Hungarian Revolution), and by The People's Republic of China (due to the Republic of China's presence in the competition). Once underway, the Games progressed smoothly, and came to be known as the "Friendly Games".
- GoofsWhen Anthony Eden is discussing his medication with his doctor, a pill bottle is clearly labeled as 'Pentobarbitone' yet in the ensuing description, states that each pill contains amphetamine. In reality, Pentobarbitone (Pentobarbital) is the literal opposite of amphetamines. Pentobarbital is a barbiturate (a sedative/hypnotic) which is a powerful central nervous system depressant which slows the activity of the brain and induces sleep as well as a powerful state of relaxation. Amphetamine, on the other hand, is a powerful stimulant which eliminates fatigue and keeps the user awake and alert.

The Development Philip's Character Needed
It has been really hard to empathize with Philip's characters in the first season, not because his motives were wrong or Matt Smith's performance was lacking but because we never really understood who he was. In 8th episode of Season 1(Pride & Joy) we truly understand the relationship between the mother and her daughters, and that episode is one of my favorites. This episode kind of tries to do the same thing with Philip and mostly succeeds. The episode is not a flashback episode which I truly appreciate because when the stories of the past are slowly told in the present it is more effective. Especially in the middle of the episode, the interview scene, the episode shines a lot. This episode is real great start for Philip's arc, but it's still a start; it needs much more to become perfection. My only problem with the episode is the side story(not Elizabeth's) which just made the episode drag. This episode also made me realize that when Elizabeth and Philip are apart, they are actually closer emotionally than when they are together.
