The Americans

[hokiehi21]

I couldn't figure out what was happening. Did two other people show up and attack them? I lost track of how many people were in the fight

Yup. Some random duo ambushed them, i have no idea who they are. That's why i said shit's about to get real. Did that bitch Claidia set them up? Maybe that weirdo Oleg? I dunno, cant wait to find out what happened

Ok, I think I got it. The woman drove off with the jewish guy they intended to kidnap but Phil and Elizabeth have the male mugger, right?

There's definitely a lot of plot possibilities that are dangling out there. They've done a good job building it up in these first few eps. It seems a little slow but you're right, it's going to blow soon and when it does, it's probably going to be awesome

The Sandinista girl (I think they called her Lucia? Aimee Carrero is the actress) could definitely get me to give up some secrets, oh my god. Amazing.

Just don't do any drugs with her.


Great episode overall. I'm a little bummed though. Claudia's convo with Elizabeth sounded like a farewell address. I really hope her character isn't gone for good. I know Margo Martindale is on The Millers but she is so damn good as Claudia. She has to be back

Dont forget to squeeze your anus when taking a polygraph

What's up with little boy Henry? Spying on neighbors and breakin into houses and playin video games

That Charles Duluth is one untrustworthy fella. So is Lucia.

I think the Henry stuff was to show he's got a snooping side to him and will come into play later in the season. It was a fairly slow episode overall, just laying ground work for more to come. Most of the episode was spent with the lie detector. But hey, we got a Nina ass shot so why complain?

Good news everyone! FX renewed The Americans for a third season

 

[Texas Jefe]

Good show. I watch it. Helps that momma is a bad-ass, and good looking.

I guess Aimee was getting more social media love than Keri Russell. that was a stupid move. She could have been used so many ways. I actually thought Keri was gonna shoot her. Its an episode of getting too american. seems like dad is getting too american and keri is an evil witch that will end up being Natasia never stopping her struggle against the evil moose.

Different kind of feel to the episode tonight. It was light on a lot of the spy stuff but super heavy on emotion. And holy shit did Matthew Rhys nail it. He should win an Emmy for playing Phil on tonight's episode alone. There's no way that preacher didn't shit his pants.

Just tuned in on intermissions of the hawk game, dark episode, gotta see that whole thing next replay. Its adding alot that they are not considered spy games, they are at war.

Why was Jared meeting with Kate and why wasnt she in disguise?

Larrick gon' kill everyone.

 

[wildturkey]

Fuck Larrick. I liked that cutey Kate.

That was pretty funny. She was getting all jealous and he screws her to the point she couldnt walk and felt violated. Its this balance of being spies that hate america and getting too comfortable in america when she showed that jealous streak. I think eventually she is gonna be told to kill the husband because he is getting too american. Maybe not this season, but before it ends.

A great episode to wrap up season 2.

A great episode to wrap up season 2.

wow, it really was. That confession by the kid blew me away. The fact we might see Paige turn into a spy vixen before our eyes is a little dirty. I can see her agreeing to doing it, after mom comes clean as to why she is so secretive, but a part of me kinda hopes they move along quicker so she is 18.

 

[hokiehi21]

Aww poor Nina. So Beeman's lost both his girls haha.

That was fantastic TV. When's season 3 start?

 

[wildturkey]

(POST CONTAINS SPOILERS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK)

Season 3 will probably start in January or Feb. FX, like most networks are doing now, air shows on a yearly basis as opposed to seasonal. It sucks for us since we have to wait but its actually pretty smart for the networks. They can invest in a handful of quality shows and just space them out throughout the year.

Jared's confession was surprising, but the last two or three episodes, I had began to wonder if he wasn't in on it somehow. I figured that "the killer" had already been introduced to us since we were getting late into the season. The longer we went, the more I felt that Jared probably knew what happened to his parents. But I was totally taken back with the 2nd generation initiative and that Jared killed his parents because he believed more in the cause since they wouldn't let him do it.

And there's no way that's the last we see of Nina. She's too compelling a character to just get rid of right now. Outside of Phil and Liz, she's definitely the most layered character on the show.

Nina got that money so she might have a way out, but the rate this series goes, we might see her raped and tortured back in Russia too. But then again, we lost Kate and it seems like the pattern here.
