I was just wondering yesterday where the new thread was because we're so close to the season premiere. Really looking forward to this season!

The last episode had Superbowl 18, Redskins vs Raiders, which was 1984.

I guess there is a russian version of The Americans that has become pretty popular: http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/03/23/the-next-must-watch-tv-show-is-russias-version-of-the-americans/

Vanderdeath posted:I would never have expected the Americans to go to my crapstick hometown for plot. I do find it funny that they thought there would be a Trader Joe's-like health food store in Topeka in the middle of the 1980s though. I noticed the shop window said vegan and I'm not sure if that was much of thing in the mid-80s.

VOTE YES ON 69 posted:My favorite thing about this show is how it illustrates how well trained human beings can operate at peak efficiency for 60 hours a day without sleeping. I think this same thing about Mike scenes in Better Call Saul.

Only 3 eps left this season and I'm still not really sure where this one is going.

I think I'm going to be pretty mad if this comes down to that kind of Philip vs Elizabeth.

She could've just as well come off completely innocent if she didn't implicate herself (poorly).

They've always had that dynamic. I guess I'm wanting a happy ending for them whatever that means and not a "one kills the other to get their way."

That reminded me that right around now the us is secretly selling arms to Iran to fund the contras.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:So what's the deal with the hockey playing fiance guy? Is he just naive or working with the Russians or are we not supposed to know yet? Yeah it's unclear for now but I don't think naive would be the right term for that guy. Bit of intentional wordplay there when Stan mentioned the Quantico class on dangles.

It's hard to tell what year it is for sure. I believe it's late '84 or early '85 judging by the weather. Last season ended in feb'84 (superbowl and olympics were mentioned). Then we had the summer season for the wheat. Chernobyl meltdown was April '86 and I would think it would have been mentioned at least in passing if we were past that point. Another thing is Henry applying for that school. Likely trying to get into the fall term. phosdex fucked around with this message at 03:46 on May 25, 2017 |

drunkill posted:That was the big subplot of season 2. Oliver North was a guest writer for that one episode where they infiltrate the contra training base and kill a bunch of people and even Elizabeth is kind of "whoa, that could have been avoided" Season 2 was the stealth stuff wasn't it? The Iran-Contra affair I was referring to began in 1985 and didn't involve training Contras.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:I loving hope not. I like these characters and all, but we can't keep having "watch Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell look concerned at a world event" masquerade as a plot point. Something does need to happen. I've enjoyed the season but it's been pretty slow.

hatelull posted:At the of last week's episode Tuan warns them about a car parked in front of the house, so they keep walking and do not try and interfere with Pascha right? I think that they are going to his house no matter what, tuan and elizabeth are trying to get philip, who was walking ahead of them in sort of an angry walk, to slow down a bit and try to be less suspicious. Just a normal family out for a walk comrade.

Wikipedia says that Reagan gaffe was leaked oct'84 so now we know it's not 85 or later. I liked that jacket thing Elizabeth was wearing during that talk with tuan. And when I get up I want to see if I can figure out which hockey player that was on the poster above paschas bed. Mogilny defected 89 I believe. Oh my recording ended early. phosdex fucked around with this message at 10:02 on May 31, 2017 |

Nice one, that is him.  Here's that pic, he's #5: https://www.si.com/olympic-ice-hockey/photos/2014/02/12/greatest-russian-hockey-players-all-time
