FX is the network of Fargo. There's not going to be a happy ending here.
FX was also the network of Justified, which had a happy ending, but that doesn't fit the tenor of this show. Though speaking of Justified...

Earwicker posted:

They'd have to jump ahead 5 years in time to do that, which would definitely be a break with the speed of the show and also thats harder to deal with when you have teenage actors
I could see them doing what Justified did in its finale, and jump ahead five years as an epilogue to wrap everything up.

I still don't get why so many posters in this thread think that after the Soviet Union ended all Soviet spies abroad just gave up and stopped being spies like they lost a board game.

Elizabeth in particular has so much of her identity wrapped up in the correctness of the Soviet Union's cause that it's natural to wonder how she will react when it all falls apart seemingly overnight, and the United States "wins"

e- Oh poo poo, the lab tech died for nothing. :stonk:
Of course the lab guy died for nothing, that was pretty much a given. Still quite the horrible realization for Phillip. Though he's killed innocent people before.

If we're done with Mischa that was a little anti-climactic for the character, but not the impact it'll have on Gabriel I'm guessing.

Not that i'm complaining but it seems like in episodes 4-8 of every season of this show, nothing happens. I think a shorter season with less windup could benefit them.

Why all the cloak & dagger with the photo developing tools?

The contents of the film are sensitive, but it’s not illegal to have a home darkroom.

Maybe it's a holdover from when the kids were little and they didn't want them getting into the toxic chemicals?
