The Americans: The 2nd best espionage/spy show on TV

Phil & Elizabeth are the most complicated relationship I've ever seen on tv
Obviously Phil's trepidation regarding Martha have more to do with her value to the mission. And Elizabeth knows this. She aint jealous but at the sametime marks her territory

I think she is slightly jealous but you can never tell with Elizabeth. She keeps her feelings so compact.
 
yeah she is definately a tough read
i dont think typical jealousy works when your job is to fuck other ppl and you have a 2nd fake marriage

I think for awhile there Elizabeth was avoiding sex due Phil's insecurities and her own past with abuse. But whenever they hit a rough patch seems like she throws it on him
 
Ok wait what????

Kerry Russell and Matthew Rhys are hardcore method actors. :giggle:
 
Damn i feel bad for Martha.
At this point someone needs to put her out of her misery.

I wonder if it will be Phil
 
Finally watched last nights episodes.... Man another A+ episode. Even the slow episodes are amazing. This tension.... Wow
 
Man Martha time is going to be up soon. As soon as she dropped that KGB threat... Her clock started ticking. You could see it on Gabriel's face.

When she was walking in the street i was expecting her to get hit by a car..

i wonder if John-Boy will be the one who kills her :lol:

She's such a tragic character. The writers and actress did a great job with Martha. I don't think you have a heart if you don't feel bad for her.

She should not have exposed her knowledge of the KGB to Gabriel. I know she's losing her shit, but that was a stupid impulse move. Gabriel knows she has to go now. Philip is going to be beyond fucked up when Martha dies, especially if he is ordered to do the job.

I completely agree with you. It crazy how the show actually shows you the KGB side. They were fully on board with trying to extract her when it would be so much easier to just end it. But as soon as Martha threw out that KGB threat. :itsawrap:

You can almost feel the writers setting us up for the tragic end game on this show. That final season is going to be fucking brutal to watch, because the body count will have to be high.
 
Holy shit just thought of some game changing shit... The Necklace that Stan has in evidence is the same fucking necklace that Elizabeth gave Stan in SEASON 1 to give to Martha to calm her down. I wonder if Stan is going to remember it. Because if I remember straight, Stan asked Elizabeth what happened to her necklace in that episode and she made up a lie about losing it. I'm going to need to rewatch that episode. I definitely know it was in Season 1 back when Stan and his wife would come over for dinner. Man that seems like a lifetime ago now.
 
finally got around to watching the last episode
and damn that shit was tense as fuck

Martha really got die
and it took everything for Elizabeth to not bust a cap in her but that body shot was vicious.

Deep down Phillip really loves Elizabeth but also has feelings for Marth.
Damn at Elizabeth saying she would understand if she went back with her.

Martha gonna die easily.
Phil loves her but not loves her loves her. he loves her like she's his child.
Stan is just too fucking good at his job and lol @ the kids just living lives raising themselves.
 
Once again.... Matthew Rhys is putting on a fucking Acting Clinic right now. The way his eyes perked up when Elizabeth said that she understood why he went to the meetings and how his facial expression slowly changed once he realized that Elizabeth still doesn't get him.... was amazing. And someone back me up on this.... but wasn't this the first time that we have seen them fight since after Gregory. Great stuff
 
This season has been bananas.
Last night's episode could've been a season or series finale.

In one season we lost Nina and Martha. Mainstays from the jump who survived much longer than i expected but still got dealt.

I love the complicity of phil and Elizabeth relationship. Phil has always been the sensitive one and Elizabeth the strong one but phil had been mad reckless. Elizabeth is trying to understand his feelings for his other wife. Feelings that phil probably doesnt even grasp.

Shit got real in that argument and was suprised gregory was brought back up. For ppl that fuck other ppl for a living there biggest betrayals stem from lying and hiding their true feelings.

And paige be careful what u ask for. You wanted the truth couldn't handle it and now you are an asset in training.

I have no idea where the rest of the season goes from here.

The craziest thing is i read that they expect 2 more seasons of this show. The fan in me demands more but as a viewer... I don't want them to start affecting the quality of the show by stretching. Olg is the key. They turn him it's game over.
 
Just watched... Excellent episode. Kerri Russell killed this episode. She was super intense.

Despite the overall greatness of the episode, I was let down by Martha just getting away. I was certain she'd die or be arrested.
