OT: The Americans' penultimate episode

Submitted by American Hotel on
Okay, folks, it's getting real now. I'm really going to miss these characters. My favorite scene from the show was when Philip played amateur dentist for Elizabeth. My favorite character is Oleg. And believe it or not, I'm rooting for the FBI.

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?

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?

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.

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....
