| re: The Americans 1/30 ***Series Premier**** Posted by Murray on 2/1 at 1:44 pm to Fearthehat0307 quote: I completely forgot about that. Now that I think of it, it would've been a stretch if he DIDN'T suspect something was going on. Reply • Back to Top |
| This show looks like it will be amazing Reply • Back to Top |
| I really enjoyed the pilot. Kerry Russell did a better job than I was expecting and the lead actor was very good as well. I did also like the re-created atmosphere of the 80's as well. I'll watch. Reply • Back to Top |
| I think the fact that the neighbor has just gotten out of the deep cover job also has him suspecting everyone like his wife suggested. Reply • Back to Top |
| I like the Phillip character a lot I think Elizabeth told him her past to draw him back in...she doesn't have feelings for him like he does. The scene at the end where the fbi guy broke in the garage and Phillip was lurking in the shadowswas awesome. Reply • Back to Top |
Wife and I both thought the premiere was great. Looks like it has a lot of potential  Reply • Back to Top |

seems like it did pretty well ratings wise. quote: Reply • Back to Top |
| Finally watched it. I really didn't have high expectations going in, and even forgot that it was on, so I unfortunately missed the first 10 minutes. I really liked it. I might have to watch it later on on demand with the gf to catch the beginning. As far as the Guess jeans, the were founded in 1981,so I guess it's possible that she could have a pair.

| Caught the rerun tonight. Overall impressed. Will watch again. Minor nitpick: "Happy Days" syndrome, eighties music in the background might be from 1980 or 1989, regardless of when the scene is taking place. News report on Iran hostage crisis places it around 1981, yet there's mid eighties music playing. I'm calling it now, John Boy Walton is a double agent. Reply • Back to Top |
| The only thing that could make this show better is if Kevin Costner were to make an appearance as "Yuri". Interesting call on John Boy. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: FBI cast of relative unknowns except for one household name. Why is he there? Obviously the plot runs through him somehow. Logical conclusion: double agent. ETA: Another nitpick. Husband and wife both show mad martial art skills. I don't care how good your initial instruction is, that shite is perishable unless you keep up your training. Do they practice on each other? How do they explain it to their kids? If there are really cold war sleeper agents out there, I wish some of them would come forward. They'd have a hell of a story to tell.

quote: Just curious, I can't remember the scene...what song(s) were playing? Oh, and I will also add my opinion on the show: Excellent. (I'd rather episode specific threads though) Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by Murray on 2/6 at 9:40 am to White Shadeaux quote: I agree. If this show stays good, I'm thinking there will be a lot to discuss about individual episodes. This thread is titled as Series Premier so I don't see any reason someone can't start and Ep 2 thread today/tonight. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Three songs I remember them playing were: Harden my Heart by Quarterflash In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins Tusk by Fleetwood Mac All three were from the early 80's if I'm correct. Reply • Back to Top |
quote:  The series takes place after Reagan was sworn in so that puts it no earlier then spring of '81. Someone else can research the release dates of those songs. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
