- Promo for next week's episode (please spoiler tag any discussion)

 

[Linius]

Phil with his Rust disguise tonight.

I just came to post this. I love it how everyone noticed that :lol

Great ep by the way. Lots of tension and everyone had some stuff to do. I like that new slick Russian dude flirting with Nina.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Good episode. Lots of things simmering early on.

 

[KingKong]

I'm not sure if I understand the critic reviews of the show. Andy Greenwald and Sepinwall and everyone loves it and says season 2 makes a huge leap, but 2 episodes in it's still a decent story that leans on melodrama way too much

 

[Mr.Swag]

Male character is totally falling in love with his (real) wife

Well, the critics did get see a few more eps than we have so far, but your description of the show seems right to me.

I've never understood the hyperbole laced reviews that critics have showered this show with.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Man has it been awhile since I've seen a couple on TV that have as much depth as Phil and Elizabeth.

Fucking WOW.

 

[newdayrocks]

Did anyone else notice a very obvious watermark of the show's logo during the latter Stan/Nina scene? Was very obvious against the walls of the apartment.

Thought it was burn-in/image retention on my plasma for a second, but it wasn't.

 

[Backlogger]

Finally watched episode 1 of season 2 last night. So glad this show is back on.

 

[Blader]

Man has it been awhile since I've seen a couple on TV that have as much depth as Phil and Elizabeth.

Fucking WOW.

yeah, probably the most interesting couple since Coach and Tami Taylor.

 

[robertsan21]

Man I do not like the way this show is taking.

Spoiler

fuck the daughter, can they please quite it with her spying on her parents. I hate kids in tv shows as they always fuck things up and are so annoying. Hopefully the show will continue on being about spying and kicking ass, forget that family life crap.

 

[Cornballer]

-Sneak peek from next week's episode (please spoiler tag any discussion)

 

[Saty]

Their spying is predicated on a couple with kids and that's what heightens the risk and concern. I like it the show isn't a string of operations and 'badass-ness' - that's not a complete, true and round espionage for agents like Phillip and Elizabeth. And the kid characters+actors are probably the best i've seen on TV for a long time.

Solid ep. Liked the scene with Elizabeth helping a young fresh agent. Nice move by Paige.

I see the ratings weren't good :x

I had my doubts with the whole family thing but so far they managed to keep it interesting. You get to see both the KGB story and the family stuff. Not just family stuff. The kids aren't shitty compared to other shows. That helps a lot.

 

[TacticalFox88]

You know what's one of my favorite moments in this show?

When Paige talked back to Elizabeth she straight up went into BOSS mode.

" Excuse me? Stand up."

"You DO NOT get to speak to me like that."

I was AWW SHIT!!

 

[Cornballer]

- Keri Russell talking about The Americans on the Tonight Show

 

[AngmarsKing701]

It's awesome how the wigs on this show are a great thing, but the wig Megan Boone wears on the Blacklist is awful.

 

[Cornballer]

New episode tonight:

The Walk In

Spoiler

Philip and Elizabeth complete their next mission; Philip's fears about Elizabeth's readiness for action deepen; Stan tracks the KGB walk-in which leads to much praise at work; Paige snoops into her mother's family background.

 

[Cornballer]

Reposting these two:

- Promo for tonight's episode
- Sneak peek scene from tonight's episode

Please spoiler tag any discussion.

 

[inm8num2]

This season seems to be leading to

Spoiler

Paige finding out about her parents

. (spoiler'd because I'm referring to the episode synopsis)

 

[Cornballer]

Go time.

 

[Niraj]

Go time.

Edit: Cornballer, are we the same person?

 

[Cornballer]

Flashback! Hats!

Edit: Cornballer, are we the same person?

:O

 

[Tamanon]

Salisbury Steak mystique is broken. Is there anything that won't be ruined for these kids?

 

[Niraj]

Flashback! Hats!
:O

Like Paige, I'm getting closer to the truth.

 

[Cornballer]

Tab!

 

[Avon Barksdale]

Dat product placement.

 

[Cornballer]

Paige tracking down the fake aunt, eh?

 

[Tamanon]

I'm 90% sure Paige's new friend on the bus is someone assigned to protect her.

 

[Cornballer]

Some serious wig action tonight.

I'm 90% sure Paige's new friend on the bus is someone assigned to protect her.

Ooooh, that'd be interesting.

 

[Niraj]

Paige tracking down the fake aunt, eh?

Can't wait for there to be something in place to fool her/others.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm 90% sure Paige's new friend on the bus is someone assigned to protect her.

seems too suspect to not be true.

 

[Nameless]

I just stopped breathing and didn't realize it.

 

[lazybones18]

playing the "I have kids" card I see

 

[Niraj]

Anyone else with Dish having intermittent sound issues? It's not as bad as it was with Justified last night, but still annoying.

 

[Tamanon]

Phil and Liz are pretty damn smart and thorough spies, and they know that Paige is snooping around. They must have the address of someone who knows how to play along displayed that prominently in the kitchen.

 

[Cornballer]

Elizabeth switches into super-threatening mode with such ease.

 

[Cornballer]

Damn, this is pretty bold from Paige.

 

[Nameless]

Hopefully it's just a safe house. An empty safe house.

 

[Niraj]

So threatening in so few words.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Dang she's coldblooded.

I was hoping they'd let him live so I'm glad she did.

 

[Cornballer]

Beeman getting his cardio for the day.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

:lol What great last words. "Ronald Reagan doesn't caaaare!"

 

[lazybones18]

I'm sure Reagan cared.....a little bit

 

[Nameless]

Truer last words have never been spoken.

 

[Nameless]

Stan is going to fall further into Nina's web because of this...or vice versa, who knows .

 

[Cornballer]

Nina's better at this than Stan.

 

[Cornballer]

I get the feeling that Paige has a future as a spy, but Henry's probably not going to cut it.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Oh snap Paige just got smacketh downed.

 

[Cornballer]

Phil is not pleased.
