This show is pretty damn good so far. Nice to have something on TV worth watching right now since The Following turned out to be pure shit.

I enjoyed the pilot, but the second episode was kind of stupid.

If you're not watching The Americans, you're not seeing Keri Russell's butt.

I like the dynamic with the husband being somewhat wishy-washy about the whole Russian spy business and Keri Russell is the "Suck it up, pussy. I'll die before I ever surrender to the American pigs" one.

Gertrude Stein wrote:oh yeah it's also about all our lives as young grown men and women, indeed it is hard for us to feel even when we talk it long, that we are old like old men and women or little as a baby or as children. Such parts of our living are never really there to us as present, to our feeling.

Yes we are very little children when we first begin to be to ourselves grown men and women. We say then, yes we are children, but we know then, way inside us, we are not to ourselves real as children, we are grown to ourselves, as young grown men and women. Nay we never know ourselves as other than young and grown men and women. When we know we are no longer to ourselves as children. Very little things we are then and very full of such feeling. No, to be feeling ourselves to be as children is like the state between when we are asleep and when we are just waking, it is never really there to us as present to our feeling.

And so it is to be really old to ourselves in our feeling ; we are weary and are old, and we know it in our working and our thinking, and we talk it long, and we can see it just by looking, and yet we are a very little time really old to ourselves in our feeling, old as old men and old women once were and still are to our feeling. No, no one can be old like that to himself in his feeling. No it must be always as grown and young men and women that we know ourselves and our friends in our feeling. We know it is not so, by our saying, but it must be so always to our feeling. To be old to ourselves in our feeling is a losing of ourselves like just dropping off into sleeping. To be awake, we must have it that we are to ourselves young and grown men and women.


I mean it is called The Making Of Americans.

I wasn't very clear on the girl the husband was fucking so that she could take "SPY PICTURES" for him.

I'm pretty sure the FCC requires any show that takes place in the 80's play "In the Air Tonight."
