It's a testament to how good this show is that in literally the first episode the FBI man moves to the house opposite the Russian spies and this isn't seen as the most ridiculous thing ever. It's even more insane than in Prison Breaks premiere when the guy took his shirt off to reveal the prison map (and consequently, I stopped watching) but it somehow gets away with it. Best show.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Like I understand what you are saying but no tv show has ever been or ever will be more insane than Prison Break, the show that killed off a character by cutting off her head and delivering it to the main cast and then brought her back by saying "I don't know I guess the head just looked like hers, common mistake".

Chekov's Valium. Martha is going to drink a couple bottles of red wine and the rest of her Valium. You can't OD on Valium alone, but mixed with alcohol you sure can.

Just caught up with the latest episode, man, that was great. I liked last weeks with the Bowie (RIP) ending but this week had some proper spywork again with the FBI looking at the two apartments and the new handoff of the dead lab rat (episode is called 'The Rat' btw) which is all good and fun to watch.

Man this is a good show, I want much more of it but I also kind of hope next season, or 6 at least season 6 ends it all, as much as I like the show it'd become a bit too... blase if it went for 7 or 8 seasons. At least it is gaining in popularity and getting more critical acclaim these days, at least form what I've observed around the internet. I've been making friends watch the show for a few years and everyone is always looking forward to the new season when it is on the horizon so that's a good sign.

Anyway, when the show does finally end, it'll be a three and a half minute silent montage with 'Everybody wants to rule the world' by Tears for Fears playing over the top.

It's been said before but we absolutely need a scene in the finale that shows Elizabeth coping with "tear down this wall" and so forth.

:agreed: and wished we could have seen her reaction to SmugReagan saying Marxism will be left 'on the ash heap of history' since she probably could have murdered some people, but we're past that chronologically. They did a good job with her trying to gauge the room with an appearance comment, though.

Alternately, I'd accept a montage of Phil and Liz going on a crazy murder spree mission set to Love and Rockets' "No New Tale to Tell".

Alternatively to the alternative...R.E.M's "It's the End of the World as We Know It." Obvious choice, but that came out in 1987. gently caress I'm getting old.

Oh man, that would be almost too perfect. In fact I'll be somewhat shocked if that song is never used at all, since the show has been really hip on good music so far.

REM was my favorite band in the 80s, and lately I've been getting back into them. Still can't sit through any of the albums after Berry left, which I realized the other day consists of 1/3 of their total albums :catstare:

Well, come to think of it...REM would be *Philip's* song, while "No New Tale" would probably fit better for Liz.

Waiting patiently for Paige's "goth phase". "Love Will Tear Us Apart" might be too on the nose, but then again, so was "Under Pressure", so the precedent has been set.

Yes this.

I am so disappointed that Martha is still alive(for now). She already ran once, she has no value to them alive. Just kill her already for fucks sake.

Comedy option: Martha is the new Nina and actually goes to Moscow. She has to seduce and get close to a scientist :v:

I hope Martha escapes to agent Beeman's house, they recognize Elizabeth on the other side of the street and a massive firefight ensues between FBI and KGB & drunk Henry.

Pastor Tim also happens to be visiting and has to finally choose sides.

I like Martha and hope they dont kill her off and really I dont see any reason why they would if shes willing to get on the plane. Why bother pissing off your already pissed off agent. It takes a lot of time and resources to put someone like Phillip in place. Youre gonna jerk them around and kill off their asset who gave good info to save the cost of some lovely apartment in moscow?
