Season had fantastic acting with below average, Philler story telling. No way the ended the season just like this, WTF? They got a 2 year renewal, remember Lost was the same when then it fell apart.

Tense intro chase scene :whew:

Purposely infecting himself. Smart :jbhmm:

Is that Phil's son in jail speaking out against the USSR? :jbhmm:

-I'm dying and all my insides will leak out of My oraphaces.
-Do you want a Coke?
:dead:

Oleg leaving to go back to Russia? I thought he was gonna go with that other agent to Africa :patrice:

Phil speaking allegorically about his spy job at EST :wow:


It was Phil's son. I guess that'll be a major plotline next season :jbhmm:

Expelling the Arkady from the US? :wow:


Sending Phil and Liz back to Russia? How are they gonna get out of that, cuz we know that shyt's not gonna happen? :jbhmm:

William dying horribly, blood leaking out his nose and mouth :huhldup:

Paige getting closer and closer to Stan's son. She looked like she was gonna tell him about her parents there for a second :ufdup:

Overall, a kinda weak finale :ld:

This has been my least favorite season, that's not to say it was bad (it was still A grade TV), but hopefully they pick it up a bit more next season.

I predict Phil's son, Paige and Stan's son being together, and them trying to stay in the US will probably be the plotlines next season. That should be interesting. :ehh:

So many characters gone this season too if you think about it. Nina, Oleg, Arkady, Martha, Stan's boss. It's gonna be like a whole new cast next year...

I agree that the finale didn't really go out in a big way, but overall still thought this was a great season.

Once William got caught (which was teased during last weeks preview) and injected himself, you kinda knew he wasn't going to be giving up any vital intel. Even if Gabriel felt it could be a real possibility and the family would have to head home back to Russia. So much for his hero's welcome :wow:.

If Phil and Liz think dealing with Paige is a handful, imagine what happens when Phil's son comes to America :lolbron:. At least Henry will have someone else to play videogames with. The two polar reactions to Paige/Stan's son making out were great. Stan was all giddy, already making wedding plans :gladbron:, while Phil was :ld:and then :ufdup:on the walk home. Him being disapproving of the relationship is only going to cause Paige to rebel more and want to spend more time with Matthew though.

I will miss Oleg and Arkady. "You're a good son." :to:. You could feel Tatiana's hurt when she lost her job in Kenya and lost her man.

NOT ARKADY DA GAWD :damn: :to: :to: At least the FBI got a couple of Ws for all y'all that keep bytching about that.

"You want Coke?" :dead:

LMAO at Liz and Paige bonding after all these years over self defense classes.


Series took a big step down after the Martha storyline ended. That was the real season finale. The rest felt more like a set up for things to come. Not sure I want the Paige/Matthew relationship to be a main focus going forward, specially because Matt can't act for shyt. Watch Liz be all "OK, be his girlfriend :demonic:" by season premiere or episode 2 next season, Philth gonna go insane again.

I think the only way they stay in the US is they discover William didn't say much to the FBI, and the only way they find that out is via Stan or Matthew....

This was shaping out to be the best season but it stumble it's way to the finale, it was still better than almost anything on TV though. I'm glad the next 2 season are gonna be shorter too.

Bit meh finale, started of nice with the chase, this is one of those shows that suffers from the audience knowing there are two more seasons coming though, if I hadn't read that it'd be a more suspensefull watch.

How Can ‘The Americans’ Last Two More Seasons? — The Ringer
Yeah, I kinda agree with that article. I dunno how it's gonna last 2 more seasons. We know next season they won't get caught. It's gonna filler until the final season in 2018. The suspense is gone too. Martha gone, William gone, Arkady gone, Gad gone, Oleg gone. I guess they'll introduce a whole new cast next season (like Phil's son), which will bring tension, but we know Phil and Liz won't get caught (at least not until 2018). They better bring in some good new cast members or it's gonna be more filler for 13 episodes.

They should ended this season at the time jump. It seemed like after that it kinda went downhill.

They only thing can do to spice things up is go a little off script with history and make up some events but that would go away with the realism of the show.
