I think they’ll go full Miles O’Brien on Elizabeth this season. Phillip is full on disillusioned. Henry is off at fancy school. The USSR starts to crumble with things like Chernobyl. Paige dies on a mission the day before the August Revolution, rendering her death an utterly meaningless waste.

yeah, i think either the berlin wall falling or the ussr falling would be a good way to end the series

I'm on your watch list for outing you as an intelligence agent aren't I?

My issue is that the actress seems to only be able to be either a piece of mopey wood or flailing about wildly with outrageously outraged indignation. I try to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that's what she's told to do but I'm not sure.

My wife hates snotty kids.

Neither of us cares about the religious part of her character beyond thinking the jumps right in both legs first approach to the Christianization of the character was lame.

i mean she's 16 and it's her first acting gig.

also russians are "stoic"

The way Paige is dressed/sexualized in the first episode when she's still, what, 13? is super period accurate and also super gross. Like people acted like girls being sexual in the 90s but it's been going on for like, ever. It's kinda hosed up.

I don’t remember what Paige wore in the first ep, but the plot line with Phillip seducing a teenager was loving creepy as hell.

Why can’t they focus on pure, innocent characters like the mail robot.

For some reason I was thinking that happened in a later episode. I rewatched the mall scene and her outfit doesn't seem inappropriate to me not even when viewing it with the 80s in mind. My upbringing in the 80s was very liberal though. My sister and all my cousins wore outfits like that then and still do now so that's probably why I don't see her outfit as inappropriate or sexualized even with the literally giant leering pedophile.

I decided to rewatch in prep for the new season. Her outfit doesn't seem at all inappropriate - DC can be warm and humid, so dressing lightly + bringing a jacket for when in the AC is a pretty reasonable plan.



Also, on rewatch it's notable that less than a half hour into the first episode Phillip is joking about defecting. Foreshadowing?

At least Philip shows remorse, Elizabeth doesn't give a gently caress when she murders innocent bystanders.

maybe she moves to england in the finale

Honestly the main characters in The Americans are really really awful people. I have a hard time mustering any sympathy for them, even if they are interesting.

the mail robot is pure and good

and in all seriousness i wish theyd expound on their beliefs. they seem to just go "USA bad, USSR good" unthinkingly
