Episode was a little light on plot movement. Hoping he season finale provides something good.

quote:I don't see it.... random bums getting stabbed is barely something DCPD will care about, much less the FBI.
How much of a reach would it be to think that the Feds investigate a murder of a street thug and find the other friend/mugger and he tells them it was a mother/daughter and says the name Paige.
Would not take long for Stan to connect those dots I would think. Especially near the volunteer place where Pastor Tim is who he also met.
This could have much more implications than just Paige realizing her mom is a trained assassin.

Quentin Tarantino, I know you read this board. Cast Oleg in your next movie.
quote:Completely disagree. I really don't know what else to write other than that. I think this is the best TV show of the past 15 years.
Sorry, that was a disappointing season. How did the plot advance beyond the Crock-Pot paced defection of Martha and the split-second execution of Nina? They're basically right back where they were with the FBI having a few vague clues about the deep cover Americans. The only interesting new detail is that Philip's son is out there and might blow his cover by searching him down.

It doesn't work as a great cliffhanger, because it would be so dramatically unsatisfying if the show burned Philip and Elizabeth's cover life down to the ground now, before Stan gets a chance to find out, before Paige and Matthew get even closer and cause more problems, before Mischa makes it to America, etc. Most likely, Philip's friendship with Stan will allow him to realize that William didn't give them up, and thus that it's safe to stay. But it doesn't matter that I don't believe Phil and Liz are going to pack up the Camaro and point it towards Moscow, because the thing is, they should do it. This arrangement has become untenable, between Philip and Elizabeth's increasing levels of guilt over all the monstrous things they do for Mother Russia, Pastor Tim and Alice being in on the secret, Stan's suspicions, and now Philip's discovery that Paige and Matthew are becoming more than just friends.
quote:
This is bad business the entire family is caught up in, and one where it's hard to imagine a good ending. Though the Jennings family made it out of this season physically unscathed, the number of supporting characters we've either lost (Nina, Martha, Gaad, William) or are on the verge of losing (Oleg, Arkady) illustrates the danger of this work and all the collateral damage it causes. Even assuming the action is still centered in Falls Church next season, it's going to feel like a very different series because of all the people we've lost. This was a hard season, a heavy one, and easily The Americans' best so far.
