The Americans on FX (possible spoilers)

Great show!

I wonder if she isn't a spy as well.

I assumed she was. She's the "wife" of one of the DOJ's execs, or something? She was the one taking pictures in the study during the party.

Oh yes, I agree. They're making her out to be totally unstable and an emotional liability. It'll be interesting for sure!

Love the music in the show as well; heard "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac during a chase scene in the pilot.  Ratings dropped off a lot in the second week, but being a cable channel, they probably won't panic and pull the plug live the big networks do. 

That scizo-Doctor drama Do No Harm was pulled after two episodes.

Just watched the pilot online. Maintaining intensity will be the ongoing challenge.

No, it was not as intense. For instance, they could have showed killing the wife of the dead operative, but they didn't. However, she obviously wasn't important for the story, so no need. I liked that they didn't kill the baby though! 

I still like it. Hoping it continues!

What was in the brief case that Phillip picked up?  Was it the plans that were mentioned earlier that was going to make the Russians defenseless? 

Also, I thought that the agents couldn't tell anyone who they were or their backstory?  It seems like Elizabeth told Rob a lot of information. 

Pillow talk.

Sounds like the Kennedy assassination will be the next subject line, looking forward to that.

Love this show. The plot twists are very tightly written. I love the way they are trying to maintain "normal" lives including the home life and kids while being spies at the same time.

I loved the way the son stood up for his sister.

That was great! I called it during the interrogation, that it was the Russians, not the FBI. 

Yeah, the Russian mole is going to end up dead. 

And i know that it's just hollywood magic, but Keri Russell should go MMA. Felicity has come a long way, and kicks major tail. I like. Oh yes.

I wonder if the timeline will go far enough that some plot background will be everyone talking about the TV movie "The Day After." Somehow my parents let me watch that. It's been a long time since tv was so limited that almost everyone saw the same thing and it entered the cultural zeitgeist on every level.

Oh yes, I said the same thing. "If they're made already, then what happens with the show?"

The interrogation was interesting.  I thought it had to be a set up considering how careful Phillip & Elizabeth are.  The beating will definately come back to haunt them. 

I thought the guy in the car that picked up the kids is tied to the Russians somehow.  Did anyone notice the American flag on the hood of the car above the headlight?
