I don't know, it's pretty hosed up to intentionally leave fake plans around hoping that your enemy blows up a bunch of their own soldiers.

I think Oleg said that wasn't what actually happened though, that the Russians used the propeller improperly and without testing it first.

It was both. The plans were faulty, but if the Russians were competent and tested it properly no one would've died.

I love how this show has all these interconnected plots that tie interpersonal drama with espionage, then we have Henry who has a completely unrelated subplot every season--first wanting videogames, then having the hots for Mrs. Beeman, and now, apparently, using deodorant too much. I have to wonder if there's eventually going to be a point to all of that, like, is the show going to culminate in a plot where Henry's oddly specific experiences are exactly what they'll need to finish a mission?

A good strong start to the season, some solid spy work and some new disguises too!

Also, season 5 confirmed! (even if the president of FX said that The Americans had at least 5 seasons in it the other year)

It was the slowly changing quality of the sound from rock hits something hard through to rock hitting pudding.

This show is amazing, but it still makes me sad that I'm old enough now that my childhood is considered appropriate for "historical period drama". But goddamn do they capture the tenor of the times.

Waiting for the The Day After episode. I remember watching that live.

Andy Greenwald interviewed the showrunners for his Channel 33 podcast, and they said that Phillip is still meeting with Kimmy on a regular basis.

I was wondering if they had decided to drop that subplot between seasons due to how uncomfortable it made people. I'm glad they didn't, it's way hosed-up, and the more hosed-up this show gets with Phil getting put through the wringer, the better it is imo. Plus, it's actually more relevant now than ever with everything going on with Claire.

I'm at the other end, where I was born fairly soon after the Soviet Union fell. I find the Cold War era (and by extension this show) so fascinating because it's still so recent, yet seems so far removed from what things are like now.

I'll feel old when they do a show like this based around the US involvement in the Middle East during the past decade.

I've never had a problem identifying Elizabeth in disguise, but there have been times I'd have never realized somebody was Phillip if they hadn't pointed it out. More options vis a vis facial hair and what not, maybe?

I remember knowing that we were all going to die in nuclear fire. I remember watching The a Day After, By Dawn's Early Light, When The Wind Blows and such movies on TV. It was good times.

Yeah, it seems like a normal counter-intelligence thing to do so they should've anticipated it.
