- Wall Street Journal: Nathan Barr on Writing Music for ‘The Americans’ with Pete Townshend

There's a new Pete Townshend song that will be featured in the episode tonight.

 

[Cornballer]

It's time.

 

[Niraj]

About that time.

[Niraj]

How you like your eggs?

 

[Cornballer]

Oh great, he's back.

 

[lazybones18]

[Tamanon]

Oh shit, her. Girl from the beginning of last season right?

 

[Cornballer]

Oh shit, her. Girl from the beginning of last season right?

Yup

 

[Cornballer]

I still have no idea to what extent Nina is playing him.

 

[Niraj]

I still have no idea to what extent Nina is playing him.

Yeah really tough to read that.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I still have no idea to what extent Nina is playing him.

the whole thing is suspect. I think Nina is following Arkady's orders on everything.

 

[Cornballer]

Don't you disrespect Julia Sagorsky, Phil!

 

[Cornballer]

Not a shrewd move, Stan.

 

[Niraj]

She doesn't even really have to play him, he's doing all the work himself

What is this Tyrant show all about?

 

[Cornballer]

Paige is so busted.

What is this Tyrant show all about?

“Tyrant” follows an American family whose patriarch, Bassam “Barry” Al Fayeed (Adam Rayner), is a royal son in an Arab dictatorship. Barry left his home country for America 20 years before the start of the series and returns for his brother's wedding, only to be met by a coup that thrusts him back into the corrupt government he tried to escape.

[Niraj]

Paige is so busted.

Hmm, thanks.

 

[Cornballer]

Pretty effective kill switch there.

 

[Niraj]

Oh shit.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Cool sequence!

 

[Cornballer]

Gah, the sketches again.

 

[Niraj]

:O

 

[lazybones18]

Poor telephone guy

 

[Cornballer]

Sweet, new promo for The Bridge.

 

[Niraj]

Sweet, new promo for The Bridge.

Yeah, will be glad to have that one back on. Looking forward to seeing where they take the next season.

 

[Cornballer]

Ah, this must be the new Pete Townshend track.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Episode didn't seem to run any later...maybe an amurrican thing...

I think you got the Canadian no-promo version tonight.

 

[Niraj]

Damn.

"That was beyond expectation." Nice pillow talk lol.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I think you got the Canadian no-promo version tonight.

do you mean the last time on the americans thing? Because we got that too. Maybe it's less commercials? Or more time between them. I wonder.

 

[Cornballer]

That can't be good.

 

[Cornballer]

Weird. It's still on here.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Weird. It's still on here.

It finished up at about 7-8 minutes after the hour.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It finished up at about 7-8 minutes after the hour.

guess it's good I don't randomly shout spoilers haha. Ours finished at around 10:58/59.

 

[Verdre]

Good episode. Philip threatening them all with his new morals.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Another great episode. Loving the dialog. So many layers to every conversation. Writers deserve an award.

no more pretend. actually in DC

Posted a day after the show was renewed. Not sure if she meant that weeks episode or future episodes. One of the most distracting things, for me, is that the show is shot in Brooklyn and other parts of NY.

That slipped through the cracks if it's about the filming location as it pertains to the show.

I fear for our spies now that Larrick is phone phreaking and has managed to gain access to their communications. He's getting too close for comfort.

Oohhh, that's who that is.

That's several weeks after S2 wrapped photography, so it doesn't have to do with shooting the show.

I was a little confused with the start of the Larrick stuff. How exactly did he get started on the trail to the switchboard operator? I know he got that info from the phone(?) company by posing as a cop but what exactly was he following up on there in the first place?

 

[Cornballer]

It's too bad they haven't given her a lot to work with this season, though that'll undoubtedly change with Larrick onto her.

I'm missing a step there, too. He heard about the attack and flew back, but I don't know how he traced back to the switchboard operator. Maybe Elizabeth or Phil had called him earlier and it was routed through that switchboard?

 

[ultron87]

Now that I'm thinking back he definitely was able to contact them when he had Lucia captured after she tried to kill him. So I guess he probably just had a number he could call and used that to get on the trail.
