We can only hope it’s at least one of them if not both. Stan is a reactionary nationalist and imperialist prick.

Ha! Or since it’s hockey, maybe they’d be psyched to have some Russian blood on the team.

I think his absence from the family home has helped him significantly, really. Imagine what Paige could be doing now if she weren’t roped into the futile spy game. 

Yes! Henry has now proven to be the most intelligent, resourceful, and rational member of the family at this point. I was really disappointed in Philip’s reaction to Henry’s successful networking. I’m sure that he was reacting through guilt and a hurt sense of pride, but he could have seemed more grateful for Henry’s…

I’ve been very impressed with him this season.  Playing it well enough to genuinely believe that maybe he has always been aware something wasn’t right, but was just always caught up in his own stuff too much to notice...until now.

It’s 100% possible to love your country AND wish it could be better. I would think most Americans would actively work towards this (though I do know that’s not very realistic).

In my mind Stavos went on to form Priceline or something similar. Or maybe just went on to become a drunk.

The Americans, Henry Report 0606:

She knows that is BS. The entire reason Phillip quit the spy game was how icky the whole Kimmie thing was to him. (That plus all the murdering). She was just lashing out at him

Having ideals and being honest enough to admit when you’re failing to live up to them is a mark of self-reflection and examination, not “self-loathing” or “self-incrimination”.

No, I said retroactively back in the 80's, and in the fictional universe of the show. And I was just saying it as a joke to make fun of how bad Stan’s pro-Reagan Thanksgiving speech was. This show is way too nuanced to completely root for one group against another.

Except when it comes to Mail Robot. If you don’t like…

And the thing is, if that was Phillip’s goal, he could have made that move on Kimmy three or four years ago. Elizabeth lashing out like crazy.

As the youngest of 7 kids in a pretty dysfunctional family, for most of my life my siblings ignored me and my opinions on what was going on. I really related to Henry in this episode. He’s coming home for the first time as a burgeoning “adult” and seeing how odd the relationships in his family really are as compared…

It seemed like she thought it could possibly be her last conversation with him, and still couldn’t summon the vulnerability or warmth to say “I love you” at the end.

Still, that wasn’t a safe house by any stretch of the imagination. Elizabeth literally just had to climb through a window and then was able to murder everybody in there without anybody noticing.

I love this show, but I’ve always maintained (since early season 1) that it contains a LOT of dumb things that are so perfectly masqueraded and hidden behind the smart thing that people tend not to notice. If you think about it, even the base premise of an FBI counter-espionage agent that lives next door to two…

Full treason? Not really. If anything, the KGB is the rogue treasonous operative at this point.

That was some pretty showy fighting, more than you’d learn in your average self-defense class. I think people who were there would be talking about the girl who kicked two guys’ asses for quite a while, and referring to Paige by name.

It’s not really the “invisibility” issue. It’s that Elizabeth thinks Paige was seducing a guy in the course of trying to undertake missions on her own time, or is enjoying playing at being a seductress. She warned Paige away from such behavior right in this very episode, and previously, so the scenes line up and I’m…

Probably had to do with Elizabeth’s other recent frustrations with Paige, which is why she was so quick to be like “you were right, she isn’t ready for this.” It’s a pattern of what Elizabeth sees as recklessness.
