Yea I was (only) half joking. It's also just as likely that she's just gone completely nuts.

Phillip's new ploy is to convince Martha that he is a figment of her imagination, he will enlist the entire illegal army to stage giant flash mobs where they all pretend not to see him.

Man I had no idea how complicated it was for spies in the 80s to get the room number and hotel keys of guests at Holiday Inn. Gotta have dinners and sleep with managers over multiple weeks and hack the Gibson. To find 3 Taliban guys who will in no way stand out at an American Hotel.

It will all be undone when Osama Bin Laden slips a $20 to the clerk and gets upgraded to a suite.

Is the new tech that Philip and the old guy talking about handheld Stinger missiles? I think that was the thing that really turned around the mujahideen insurgency, wasn't it?

Do you guys think this is the best season of TV this year so far? I guess this or Better Call Saul?

I wouldn't even put The Americans in my top 10 list of 2015. Its decent but it veers wildly between completely unrealistic James Bond/Bourne levels of spy work on the part of Philip and Elizabeth, to comical (more believable) complete ineptitude from the rest of the world. I also think they focused way, way, way too much on really boring stuff like Paige and visiting Grandma and Nina's adventures in Siberia and not enough on the Mujahideen, Nicaragua, and Iran/Iraq.
