Damn. Martha's got Philip all wound up and seeing puppy dogs. He really has a soft spot for her ... Part of me wonders if this is because of repressed feelings he had/felt for the woman he stuffed in the briefcase in S3. Regardless, things are getting hot under the collar for our dear KGB agents.

For me, this is the best show on TV right now.

so is Martha as good as gone now since it doesn't sound like she'll make it onto the plane?

Yeah, this is Martha's swan song... I'm surprised they've dragged it this long... Thought Elizabeth was just going to shank her in the park.

One question - why didn't the CIA send more people to search for her in the park? Like, they couldn't mobilize more agents, or even just get cops involved at least?

Also, I'm glad they killed off Nina... I felt like they just kept her around when really there was nowhere for her character to go. Except for the part where she tricked the other prisoner, the rest of her Siberian prison scenes were kinda useless.

this season has been good but it seems like they are doing more completing of main story arc's and not making too many new ones for the next season...i do think there will be some type of confrontation with the fbi neighbour and philip in the finale...

dont think things will end well for Martha or the Pastor. i too thought elizabeth was going to just kill her and i think she going to was but changed her mind...

The Pastor Time scenario seems to have taken a back seat the last two episodes. Perhaps once Martha is wrapped up they'll return to the good pastor and his wife. I too think Martha is done for and considering her meltdown, a huge bullet avoided for Philip and Elizabeth. That female Russian agent is being way sneaky about Martha's extraction, which begs me to question why? I'm curious to see this play out.

Again ... This is FOR ME, the best show on TV right now.

Disappointing conclusion with Martha.
Great to see Paige`s new direction.

"FX’s praised Cold War spy drama The Americans is getting an end date. The network has given the series, now airing its fourth season, a pickup for two more seasons, a 13-episode Season 5 to air in 2017 and 10-episode sixth and final season to air in 2018."

That was a really interesting start to the final season, it sets up the idea of an operative being given the power to change the world and how heavy that burden can be.

Wow, I know the timeline jumped forward a bit, but this felt different in the usual style. I usually don't like slow burn/slow pace, but The Americans did a fantastic job keeping the suspense throughout with the great music, out of the blue stabbing, the emotions and growth of the characters have been spectacular. I don't know where Henry fits in all this, seems he's being written out of the picture, but everything seems to be coming to the end with a bang. Exciting to see where it leads, sad to realize it will be the final end to a classic underrated TV show.

i liked the first ep of this last season...pretty much liked all seasons but felt last one was a bit of a 'filler season' compared to the others.

also read an interesting article from the writers of the show where they said 'we will be going to hell with how this last season has been scripted' (or similar quote) so i think we are in for a pretty good (dark) final season.

this series has gone on so long, the actress playing the daughter is now actually in university just like on tv.

Great episode. Looking forward to see how this series closes out.
My money is on Gorbachev succeeding, leading to the dissolution of the USSR.
