I just think it's too obvious. They want you to think she is, but that's the most obvious cliche in the book, so I don't think she will be.

This isn't Missing.

It being too obvious has crossed my mind, but maybe they want you to think it's too obvious to throw you off the trail!! ;)

You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...

The Americans is starting to go full bore, which holds to my theory they were prepared to have this a one season show. Can't have a full first season of slow burn, usually. Despite it working for some shows, most of the time it just doesn't work. It'll be interesting to see what happens next season, how they deal with the nuances of the main plot.

I really wish this show was on another night. I keep forgetting about it on Wednesdays. I'll have to catch the re-run on Tuesday. Again.

The previews co*tease you, to be honest. There's some things that are not in this particular episode.

I never watch the previews because I like to go into the episode without expectations or trying to fit in the scenes used to the next episode.

I try to avoid it, failed this week. :(

Like clothes.

Fortunately they realized having Noah Emmerich nude wouldn't be that visually appealing

I really enjoyed last night's episode. There are a lot of layers building around what Phillip and Elizabeth's relationship actually is, and what they're trying for it to be, and it makes for fascinating TV. Probably one of the best first seasons I've seen in a while.

I could've gone without most of the Stan/Nina plot, if only because it makes Stan look so flimsy. While the marital issues are burning in the background for him, it was still almost laughable to see his one-sentence resistance to his d-bag co-worker's suggestions quickly give way to a Nina booty call. I wouldn't doubt that there are porn movies with more logical and nuanced decision making. Did he go undercover with the white supremacists as a choice or because some blowhard gave him two drinks and told him to?

Not to mention the way he used an incredibly valuable asset. Nina is the first Soviet source they've had in 24 years and he risks a meeting with her so they can sleep together? That seemed way too forced. How did it suddenly get so easy to meet her when they've portrayed it as next to impossible at other times. Almost like I was watching James Bond instead of a supposedly serious TV show. I agree that it makes Stan look weak...really did not like that sequence...although any excuse to have Nina walking around naked does have merit

Of all the midseason replacement series, Golden Boy continues to be the best of the bunch.

Stan's burning for Nina has been around for a couple episodes. I thought it was quite obvious. And he has to show the "I'm married" front to his co-worker. It's not like he can say, "I want to bang our spy source." So to me the booty call wasn't forced at all. And it's probably easy to meet her for the time being, because the mole was found, and the KGB is in a relaxed state (relatively).

I think that "How I Met Your Mother" would have been a great spinoff of "The Americans." :D
 
Re: TV Thread 9: The Walking Dead Americans are completely Justified to be Psyched

I actually have to say tonight's episode of 2 1/2 Men was ACTUALLY FUNNY - I have not laughed so hard for a long long time.
 
Re: TV Thread 9: The Walking Dead Americans are completely Justified to be Psyched

Psyche was brilliant the other night.

Shameless is one of my favorite shows. And they just keep taking it farther and farther as you will see when you catch up to this past weeks episode.
