The Americans

What a fantastic episode. The interaction between Phillip and the Mossad agent was incredibly well done.

Poor Martha. Chick is probably the loneliest person in the world.

Yeah, I wonder how her end of the story will be resolved. I'm guessing with a bullet to the head.

This was probably the best episode so far of the series. I really felt bad for the scientist as he was being driven to the port, and I felt equally as bad for Phillip cause he clearly didn't want to do it.

Agreed. The whole mission-- from his interaction with the Mossad agent to the pleas of the scientist, was top notch. It had a gritty deepness that previous episodes lacked, and I wouldn't be surprised if it foreshadows Philip revisiting his second thoughts about defecting. The comment from the Mossad agent along the lines of "Me? I'm bronze, I get to go home for Passover. You're platinum-- I may hide what I do, but you? You hide who you are" was both awesome and deep. My only complaint is that the scrap they had with the Israeli agents wasn't some cake walk and they took some significant hits, yet they're back at home with the kids without a scratch/bruise on them?

Been catching up this weekend. Keri Russel still makes my brain asphyxiate. Goddamn.

Good news for Keri Russell as The Americans is renewed for a third season

Yep, that was great. I was hoping Beeman would go Rambo and save Nina, but no, this isn't that show.

Crazy end to the season, that I didn't see coming.

Their marriage had finally gotten some stability, the two were agreeing more than ever, but this divide may shake them. Philip is the good guy and Elizabeth can't make up her damn mind.

So typical husband and wife?

I guess. Philip is the rock and stays consistent. Guess the woman has to be the crazy one, right?

I don't know. In the first season, Phillip was the one who kept going back and forth on defecting, while she remained dedicated to the cause. Elizabeth now considering getting Paige involved is actually pretty consistent with that.

I hope she's back. That actress is fucking hot.

I binged on this over the weekend and caught up. Still pretty good stuff. I can totally see the youth pastor getting a little touchy with Paige and ending up dead, proving the evilness of western society and prompting her to enter the service like her parents.
