Comrade Elisabeth really tends to get her Jane Bond on.

Re: The Americans
Episode 6 had a weak start, because it didn't take a genius to instantly figure out what's the deal with the kidnapping... but I liked how they got their revenge and I loved the unexpected twist with the mole storyline.
PS. One of the things I love about this show is that the kids aren't total morons like in almost all other shows... but that's probably because it takes place in pre-Internet era.
Re: The Americans
Well, this is classic and I don't even expect anything else. I remember being genuinely surprised when in the movie Orphan they actually used real Estonian instead of labelling everything Eastern Europe-y Russian.

Re: The Americans
Overall, I felt this episode was too much about drama and too little about spying as well. Drama is fine but I like the spy stuff.
Re: The Americans
Noice... Best new show I've picked up in a while. Really cool.
Re: The Americans
Very good show overall and a nice final that doesn't goes too much on the Big badaboom for the sake of artifices and it was consistent with the rest of the serie in terms of pace, drama, etc.
Really a keeper.

Re: The Americans
Great! Glad it was renewed!
Re: The Americans
It's quite well done with a lot of period details pretty accurately rendered. Back then there were still a lot of true believers (in Soviet communism) in the US and a growing amount of despair and cynicism on the Soviet side. The "old generation" of Soviet patriots (from WW II, or "the Great Patriotic War" as they called it) was dying out and the young folks were less enthusiastic. The whole thing fell apart in 1991 and I expect that approaching event to play a larger role in the show as it goes on.
Re: The Americans
Yeah was a nice episode back, hoping for another action packed season
Re: The Americans
They have really captured that "Boys In Brazil" vibe ("is it safe?")
Re: The Americans
Apparently it got picked up for a fourth season. I am rejoicing, one of the few cliche free shows I'm watching at the moment and really waiting for each episode.

That quote is from "Marathon Man" not "The Boys FROM Brazil"! Anyway, love the show.
