The Americans (Season 4)

[Irish]

Very annoyed that the fansites and entertainment rags publish headlines like "BIG SHOCKING DEATH ON ________ TONIGHT" ten seconds after the episode finishes airing in the New York. Because fuck the midwest and the coast, right? This happened to me twice yesterday, with two different shows on two different networks.

So I went into this waiting for the shoe to drop. Seemed like most of the episode tread water while they built to the big moment. But I liked what they did with that moment.

Show Spoiler

Nina was my favorite character, because in a way she seemed perversely more honest than anybody else on the show. She was always whatever anybody needed her to be, in any particular moment. She was trapped between idealogies and did whatever she needed to do to survive. I liked that about her. It's a shame they wrote her into a corner and had no way out of it.

PS: Peng, wow, you were right about the 'circular' thing in season three, haha.
