"The Americans" marathon on FX Friday March 1st

first 5 episodes of the of the Cold War spy thrill The Americans showing on FX Friday March 1st starting @ 7 pm pacific time

good pilot but then got boring, good idea though

I think they pull some pretty "overt actions" that a REAL agent would NEVER do because it would leave to easy a trail. good drama but probably 90% "James Bond BS".  

thought episode 6 was the best yet, really thought the Jennings had been found out by the FBI the way it started. also thought it was pretty clever the way that cute Russian mouse Nina was able to incriminate the KGB "rezidenty" Vasili as the mole in the embassy and get the haet off herself.

btw, Annet Mahendru, who plays Nina is "sehr heizz". glad she got rid of Vasil. I was sick of watching her have sex with that old toad.

Nina butt

Nina doesn't look like a russian girl at all. .. or some russian do look like her? she can be in some mexican cocaine mafia movie.
Love her look though

Damn she looks hot!

Nina doesn't look like a russian girl at all.

that IS true. Russian and Eastern European women, esp Czech, Slovak and Hungarian, I met back in the 1970's were WAY hotter than this toots although she IS mighty fine. from the name I would guess the is of Indian or Paki decent 

and the obvious follow up question, how come you meet a lot of eastern european woman back in the day with the iron curtain shot tight.

I was a Corporate Pilot and the company had connections in Russia and Eastern Europe. we used to go to Warsaw, Prague and Budapest quite often and even went to Moscow twice.

You must have dined at 5 star restaurants then with the party bosses.  Cool 

It s back and first two episode was great.  One of the few good show on TV now.

looks like Nina is "in' with the new KGB "rezidenty" and looking to "set up" her FBI "boy friend"

Well i guess Nina won't be back next season.
Still great writing and believable story. I m sure some of those story line are based on stuff actually happened. There are so many non fiction spy book out there . 

some suprise endings to story lines end of the season.  turns out the son of the murdered "illegal" couples family actually was a 2nd generation born in the USA "illegal" himself and killed them to keep his cover? to bad for Nina BUT she is NOT on the plane to Moscow yet

Fabulous show. Earlier post was correct that the pilot superseded the next several episodes but it's still a great show. Season 2 was better than season 1 IMO. Plenty of twists and it definitely provides some insight in the "game" that was played between the Russians/Americans during the Reagan area.

Best drama series on TV now

They are back and if first episode was great,  looks like they ll have great season 3.

YES I agree BUT I will miss "Nina".

looks like Nina still in play. Oleg should have SHOT Behman. addition of Frank Langella to the cast a plus

I don't know whether to check out NBC's Allegiance or not. looks like a complete ripoff of The Americans. plays right after The Blacklist on Thursdays which is s fav. anyone watch it? just seen their "teaser" ads

Rink, what kind of airplane(s) did ya fly?

 

I haven t yet but The American has set the bar so high i can t imagine copycat show would be just as good.
This show is getting better and better.

I want Nina to go back to that steamy person spy character though, that s the only complain i have, a small one.
The best show right now to me.

That steamy wh0re spy covers are impossible when it comes to censorship

flew radar planes off carriers in the Navy during Vietnam (sucked). flew "cockroch cargo" Beech 18's for awhile after i got out then flew the Gulfstream II, Jetstar and Sabreliner corporate. engineered on 727-100 freighters doing overnight freight then also at the airline when I first got hired then moved to 737-200, 737-300, DC-9, MD-80 and finally Boeing 757. got to fly Captain on the Gulfstream II with one company and MD-80 at the airline.

I had a decent career BUT would NOT recommend it to any young people in this day and age. it is NOT the "big bucks" it used to be AND it is not "automatic" that you will get the mainline airline or ghood paying freight job with UPS or FedEx. I tell military pilots thinking of getting out NOT to unless they have a mainline or UPS/FedEx job in the bag and even then a service career is WAY more stable
