Binge watched the first two seasons, looking forward to this.

I know this is from the Russian couple's perspective but it seems like they've gotten the upper hand over and over again. Did the U.S. Suck that bad, or were we having successes elsewhere?

We... won the war? So the answer is yes, there were "successes" elsewhere.

The CIA have been huge fuckups forever. That is not to say that others are necessarily more competent, but theirs are pretty well documented. There are really too many and I've read it too long ago to recall anything specific, but check out Legacy of Ashes: http://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Ashes-History-Tim-Weiner/dp/0307389006/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422745678&sr=8-1&keywords=cia+history

That's what I was getting at, I know we won the war but was it the result of out spending and attrition or spycraft? Were we turning Russian assets and stealing secrets as often and as successfully as the KGB appeared to. Is it plot armor or were we fumbling around while the KGB ran circles around us.

I love these EST sessions.

Edit: as a parent of a teenage daughter this is giving me the creeps.

As a young man with only the most distant dreams of family one day this is skeeving me right the gently caress out.

I'm about to call her into the room to watch this and say "don't do this, this is how you wind up in the trunk of a car."

Stan is just so lost at sea, and Noah Emmerich sells it so beautifully.

He's going to beat up another bathroom isn't he?

I keep thinking that Phillip is going to preempt Elizabeth and tell his daughter. Better she finds out from him before she gets recruited. At least that way she can make up her own mind.

I thought she actually enjoyed the sex that time with the hotel guy and felt guilty about it.

That was my take on it as well.
