The Official Americans' Season 4: Lies and Spies. Can everyone be on the same Paige?

[aceboon]

Bruh. That revelation... That Vietnamese lady Liz hangs out with is Gad's wife . When he was talking about their Asia trip I put that together.

Why they have to fire my man though.


e: On second thought, they got his secretary and his damn wife. He incompetent as fukk, yeah boot his ass.

Liz ate dinner with the whole family and the Korean husband was there, that's not Gaad's wife

What a powerful episode

Even with all them emotionally frail pussies pushing Liz to the limit she stay on point :talibama:

I'm glad they got Martha out though. Was scared for a minute they were going to put her in the dirt.

Holy shyt



@HHR our show got a mention breh

 

[jericho]

Almost fully caught up.... so close

Started this show from scratch no more than 2 months ago and just have the most recent ep left to get caught up. Philthy Phil is a top-10 character and this show is on the verge of my top 10 if it hasn't already broken it

Incredible

Most well acted scene of the whole series:



"You respect Jesus?! But not us?! "


The Coli deserves a smiley of Philthy Phil's inner-Ruskie breaking out

@ anyone scapegoating "the writing" in these season threads for low ratings, poor plot, etc.. I had to purchase Amazon Prime to watch this (and Catastrophe). If this was on Netflix I would have started watching this years ago and don't think I'm the only one. This has elite acting and an amazing plot/writing. Can't wait to be caught up

I don't think Martha should have been able to get away without incident. Once the KGB got a hold of her she should have been put in the dirt, but she didn't know enough to hurt the KGB so at the very least she should have been snatched by the FBI.

Seems the show keeps rotating the same scenarios over and over again. On queue we got internal issues with Phil and Liz again, yet this time they managed to resolve those within the same episode. Its time for the KGB to take a major loss, hopefully by the end of this season, show needs a new dynamic in the worst way. All that said the acting in this show remains superb. Best thing going for it at the moment.

Kinda a boring filler episode. Definitely the worst of the season. It'll be interesting to see how Elizabeth handles the Korean family though. I guess she'll blackmail the husband for a level 4 clearance card or something?

Yup, that was the set up. The bad part was that she didn't really have to do it, as Phil was like The Center didn't need to know about the new super virus and their plant hadn't spoken to Gabriel. Now Liz lost a true friend and you could turn it really effected her in the closing scene.

Oleg and Tatiana get it on and he's moaning all loud

Pastor Tim wants to talk when he gets back from Ethiopia

 

[Tical]

Next episode looks crazy. Don't watch if you don't want to know a major plot point for the next ep.

This may have bee the 1st time Lay it Down Liz got attached to a target like that. The 1st time she ever really saw them as a person. Now she knows how Filthy Phil feels about Martha.

And like you said, the bad part is that Liz brought it on herself. The Center didn't give her the order to do this job.

This nikka has had the most 'Martha' heavy year of all time

@ Ben saying "Call me Clark" in the same way he said "Call Me Donny" in Mallrats.

Chain of command is all over the place right now on both sides. Stan doesn't fukk with his boss and William is cutting out the middle man.

Pastor fukking Tim, though. Paige might have to take this L. She knows what the game is right now. And this dude he thinks he's calling the shots. It's light work - I can't see Liz having any problem killing a heavily pregnant woman either.

The line that really blew my mind was Liz saying at the end "I'm gonna miss her". Is 'her' the 'character' she got to play around Young Hee? Or Young Hee as a friend? Or just the wig? Or all three?

Dong had some VHS classics along with his discreet porno tapes

Time to put pastor Tim in a suitcase

 

[Captain Crunch]

Good episode, I'm loving this season.

 

[re'up]

Loved the episode.....The scenes with Elizabeth looking for something to use as leverage to essentially destroy his life,( and finding evidence that this man is basically how he appears, no hidden secrets, so she has to compromise him) and her friends were really good, and the ending scenes are just hard to watch, Elizabeth is the more chilling manipulator of the two, and whether she's attending AA meetings with a broken down alcoholic to gain her trust, before cutting her open with the bottle that destroyed her, or drugging a naive, but kind and well intentioned cog in a machine, it's always disturbing. The 'Morning After' scenes were esp. tinged with dread, discomfort, paranoia, and regret. And yeah, Tim's going sooner or later.

Interesting perspective that Elizabeth is hiding so many secrets, so much dark, horrific shyt in her closets, she is probably somewhat contemptuous, curious, and empathetic towards those who are innocents..
