Martha's going to be a mother.

Stan's going to be a paranoiac.

Philip has intel which will tie them to the states.

Elizabeth's having second thoughts anyways.

Will they change their minds in time to spare Henry and Paige's plans?

ffs I cannot believe that was a finale.

Wikipedia says that Reagan gaffe was leaked oct'84 so now we know it's not 85 or later.

I liked that jacket thing Elizabeth was wearing during that talk with tuan.

And when I get up I want to see if I can figure out which hockey player that was on the poster above paschas bed. Mogilny defected 89 I believe.

Oh my recording ended early.

The Martha scene was sad but that little soviet girl was super adorable.

And the yellow brick road montage seemed like something awful (heh) was just about to happen at the end of it. The episode was good but not very happy at all.

And we have to wait a whole year for the last 10 episodes?! ugh!

:3: I chose the right quote for the season! It wasn't as prominent as I thought it would be, although I suppose it showed that Paige is super interested now and sees America as not so great while Henry is off in his own world and doesn't give a poo poo about the news or politics, only computer games and hockey.

Martha will be so happy! I think this is the best resolution she can have to her story. Here's a little girl for you! We want you to be happy.

Everything else in the episode was pretty meh. Not worthy of a finale at all. I hope they can do better next season but this one feels kind of like a waste.

I think, it might've been Slava Fetisov (who as far as I can recall did not defect to come play in the NHL), but somebody from that era of the Soviet team for sure.

Agreed. But I guess the other way to look at it is that the final season will have nothing but payoffs and :tviv: moments

Still, it wouldn't have killed them to have one major thing happen in the finale. Season 3 all over again

I would say them learning they can't go home is a pretty major occurrence. The Centre will never let them rest until they are found up into a fine red paste.

It's still a very good show and better than most on television. I just can't help but feel a little hurt. This is 3 shows over the past 3-4 years where I have decided "this is my favorite show", and then gone through a season which dropped it from that rank. I'm going into these seasons with the highest expectations and coming up short.
