S3e10 last shot with Margo (spoilers)
Im embarrassed to ask, but where was she when she looked out the window? I didn’t recognize it at all or even understand the significance of the shot.
shareThe drab bluish wintery color filter should've been your main cue lol. They always portray Russia like this in movies and shows. She was in Moscow )))
shareThat's what I thought! So Mexico is always yellow and I now know Russia is always blue or faded. 😂
shareThe main question then becomes, did she fake her own death?
That final "goodbye" speech was very suggestive. Like she knew the bombing was gonna happen or smth.
I really hope she didnt know about the bombing but decided to use it to her advantage anyways.
NASA has been her life for 30 years. No way in hell she lets the JSC get bombed and a bunch of her friends get killed. I'm guessing she just slipped away in the chaos.
shareI kind of feel like she *did* know. Didn’t you see the look on her face when Sergei said he was going to live in America? She knew something…
shareI don't think she knew about the bombing - I agree w/ UncleRuckis, no way she'd trade all those lives (including Aleida, her surrogate daughter) just for Sergei.
The bombers were just asshole conspiracy theorists; the Timothy McVeigh comparison was clear based on the building rubble. No relation to Margo or anyone else.
Danny's going to be PISSED at his brother, Jimmy, for helping to pulverize Karen, his forever-crush.
I suspect Margot took off with the Russians in part because she was cornered and they were offering her a lifeline, but MOSTLY because that was her final deal with the Soviets: herself for Sergei.
After Sergei's confirmation that he's safe, we're meant to think Margot's sad because she's going to prison. Turns out she was sad because she traded herself to the Soviets in exchange for Sergei and his family's freedom.
Truly a tragic character from beginning to end.
I'm not sure she traded herself at all. She was working with General Bradford to extricate Sergei and his family as a Black Ops insertion. This was kinda confirmed by Sergei saying how they were taken in the middle of the night by helicopter.
I think that Margot was pretty much f***ed by then as the FBI were conducting their own investigation. It was the Russian boss that offered her a way out. Basically, come work for us instead of going to jail for 40 years.
Much like pre-S1, Von Braun, Margot's mentor, was taken to the US despite working for the enemy. When he arrived he was pretty much a prisoner until his work for USAF and NASA earned him privileges. I suspect the same happened to Margot, in a neat circle.
Wow, I never made the Von Braun connection but yeah, that really seals it up
Do you think that BlackOps can interact so easily in enemy territory? This is super risky, if the operation fails, it could destroy at least many of the changes the Americans/Soviets achieved. Of course, this could have happened because of show convenience nearly at the same time, but this would be quite weak. So I assume that Margo at least made a deal that they can extract Sergey.
The bombing could be also at least supported by the Soviets, but as they were currently partnering actively for the mars mission, so if then it was, if then, max a KGB thing. No, I think this was definitely pure coincident for the shows purpose. Margo was clearly saying goodbye to everyone and her office in the last scene we saw her and its also likely that the FBI had waited after the Mars operation to rescue Kelly was succesful.
She knew that she was going to prison for the rest of her life. She knew nothing about the bombing.
shareI was watching some preview show about a movie about the cold war, and then direct said they always suppressed any reds or yellows when dealing with behind the Iron Curtain countries.
