....gold bricks, fame, disease and women....
that was quite the impressive FBI database
Pastor Tim was somewhat less than convincing, eh, Stan?
THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY CHURCH!
oh, Oleg
that was close!
Slot receiver speed.
not just a shooter!
Yep, that Jennings is a shifty one.
I thought Claudia was going to pull a gun.
Yeah. But she thought she knew Elizabeth. Otherwise she might have been having cereal.
I thought Elizabeth was going to put a bullet in Claudia's head. She had that look.... "I'm not staying long" would have been the perfect prelude.
Distress call! It's go time!
okay, so that's how it'll end. They make a run for Canada after picking up Henry, and Philip has to sacrifice himself so the rest can get away.
I don't think Elizabeth gets to go home.
I think Stan gets Philip, Elizabeth, and Paige and Henry ends up living with Stan in the end.
I haven’t watched this show yet. Is it that good, or you guys just like it because you got into over the years? Worth watching?
the first four seasons were phenomenal. Last season dragged a bit with pacing and trying to hide Keri Russell's pregnancy. But it's been back on its A-game this final season, and it sure looks like things will end with a bang next week!
It is that good.
Watch the very first episode, season 1 and you will be hooked. I rewatched that eoisode the other day and it was as great as I remembered it.
Yes, it's that good. Best part now is you can binge watch it all the way through. Waiting for the last two seasons after watching it from the beginning a bit more than a year ago was excruciating! It is definitely worth the time to watch.
With the bugout code given, Elizabeth dug out some plates along with other stuff. So I guess the idea is to steal a car and put them on, and not go to their garage/stash.
Stan told his hunch about the Jennings to Dennis, who didn't buy it. Will something turn up that shows he was right?
Where can the Jennings go? [Bolivia? /snark] Elizabeth confessed to Claudia about stopping the assassination of the negotiator - that was pretty smooth - so if Claudia gets back to Moscow, won't both sides be hunting them?
Elizabeth doesn’t know that the FBI intercepted her message so for the moment the center is safe.
Previews for next week show sketches from someone (maybe the priest?) that are pretty clearly Phillip and Elizabeth.
And continue his hockey career occasionally skating with the Russian line.
We all know how it turns out. It's like the Titanic, but less water, its history.
to have an even better twist to the show--I've always thought it was a little unlikely that Paige, a typical teen raised entirely in the US school system during the cold war, would uncritically adopt her parents view of the USSR vs. America and start being a spy. Far better for the show, and maybe even more realistic, would be if she rebelled against their worldview and worked against them.
Is Stan’s wife going to turn out to be a Russian too?
Is Stan’s wife going to turn out to be a Russian too?
That was Phillip's suspicion - I would not be surprised if it did turn out to be true, but maybe not until the very end of the show in a last scene from "No Way Out," finale type of situation. Every time I see her on the show it pops into my head, so maybe it's just me....
I think she may be the focus of the last scene of the show. The Jennings in jail cells then cut to her meeting with Claudia.
