The Americans Season 1-4 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

2x04 A Little Night Music

Elizabeth releasing his tension in order to get the files was a small price to pay for him risking his life and that has to be the worst attempted abduction ever

TOP

2x05 The Deal

Martha telling Elizabeth how good Philip was in bed was amusing and Philip getting attacked when taking him to the toilet was predictable but having to wipe his ass was disgusting

TOP

2x06 Behind the Red Door

Elizabeth wanting to role play after what Martha told her was a bad idea as every woman has her own tastes sexually and what Nina did was surprising

TOP

ARPANET

Well Nina learning how fool lie dector was interesting and planting a bug on ARPANET was more tricky than they thought because they didn't understand technological impact of that network.  

TOP

2x07 ARPANET

Nina had to agree to do the polygraph exam if she wanted to continue as a double agent but it was a good job she was taught how to pass it first and Philip was lucky he had the bin to dispose of the body when he was caught in the computer lab

TOP

2x08 New Car

You just knew Lucia was going to go it alone after she told Elizabeth she wants him dead but him killing her was tragic

TOP

Yes but at least he gave her a chance first time calling Elizabeth

TOP

2x09 Martial Eagle

What a waste of lives just for a couple of photographs especially the kid who spotted the camera but why this impacting on Philip this time was bizarre, Philip playing that tape to Martha was a great way to get her back on side as she was starting to loose faith, I thought Philip was going to kill the priest but when he said for $600 it did sound ridiculous but the shouldn't of taken the money without checking first

TOP

2x10 Yousaf

Paige wanting to go to bible camp wasn't a surprise but Elizabeth objecting instead of Philip was a surprise and forging her mothers signature was a bad idea, Annelise's reaction after sleeping with him was surprising as she looked like she was enjoying it

She hated what she has become at first she was excited but it clear by the end she changed her mind and i actually thought Elizabeth was going walk in on them at the end

TOP

2x11 Stealth

Kate leaving a message on the toilet roll tube was smart but I thought Elizabeth had noticed the toilet seat up as that's a man's thing and Paige asking nicely about the rally was mature

TOP

2x12 Operation Chronicle

Elizabeth rushing to protect Jared was lucky as he was being followed and forcing Stan to make an impossible choice by roughing up Nina was surprising but he only has himself to blame

TOP

2x13 Echo

So much for trying to protect Jared when he saved them instead but his dying words were surprising and being ordered to bring Paige in was a surprise but she is close to finding out the truth by herself

TOP

Yes Jared confession certainly made things a lot more clear as what really happened but Paige is already close to distrust them but Elizabeth  thinking about at end was not surprising . The next season should be interesting to see if they will bring her into it or not.

3x01 EST Men

The way Elizabeth used the napkin to wipe her prints off the glass and table was smart but that was too close a call with the FBI especially loosing the list of names in the fight, Philip using the girls murder to his advantage was tragic but necessary

TOP

TOP

3x02 Baggage

Breaking the girls body so they could get her in a suitcase was disturbing but the photo is a great way to make sure he follows orders

Yes that was disturbing but making him help them was great because he created that mess.
