As to that scene, he shot the guy. |
Re: The Americans -- "Safe House" -- 4/03/13
Another awesome episode.This show is becoming one of my favorites if not my favorite at the moment.
Loved the flashback scenes between Chris and Stan. We got to see a little bit of Chris' personality so far but they really gave you some great background on him tonight. I wonder how long the 'separation' will last. I'm thinking not long with the daughter 'hating' Elizabeth and the son not paying attention in school. |
Re: The Americans -- "Safe House" -- 4/03/13
I might have missed something. What was the reason for the separation? Was it a legitimate marital problem or was it a way for the husband to spend more time with the CIA secretary?

She is pissed off that he lied about sleeping with the woman when he went to that conference.

Damn my DVR cut off too as he was standing up at the end after they called number 7. I can't believe they killed off Amador.

Re: The Americans -- "Safe House" -- 4/03/13
Mine recording ended just as he shot the guy so at least I saw that. Missed anything else though. Probably some Russian conspiracy to keep us from timeshifting.

This was a perfect hour of dramatic television, one of the finest episodes on the air in the past year. Great acting all around the cast and the suspenseful plot never felt phony or coincidental. I also was surprised they killed off the FBI agent but if it drives his partner to go outside the lines of the law, it makes sense to the narrative. |

Have you been paying attention all season? Most of their marriage has been a sham the entire time, at least from Elizabeth's perspective. It was mostly a job to her and after a brief period where she wanted to give a real relationship a try, she now wants a divorce.

Mine cut off during the flashback with Amador talking about pussy. I assume it was the jogging diplomat that got shot?

Yeah, he brought him a hamburger and let him have a couple of bites, then asked him if he wanted something to drink. KGB said yes, so Stan got up and started walking to the kitchen, turned around and capped him in the back of the head.

Re: The Americans -- "Safe House" -- 4/03/13
Did you miss the end of this Wednesday’s deadly The Americans? FX has made the episode available on its website following a listings error that caused many viewers’ DVRs to cut it off with seven minutes still to go. (It ran from 10 to 11:07 pm.) “Safe House,” the installment in question, will be available online at FXNetworks.com until May 15. Meanwhile, some advance warning: Next Wednesday’s episode, “Only You,” will end at 11:03 pm. “The error is regrettable and I apologize to all the loyal fans of The Americans who were cheated out of the full viewing experience of one of the most important episodes so far this season,” John Solberg, FX’s SVP of media relations said in a statement. “I hope the viewers whose DVRs failed to capture the final seven minutes of the episode will take advantage of the opportunity to watch the encore run on FXNetworks.com and see the spectacular ending.” |
Re: The Americans -- "Safe House" -- 4/03/13
My DVR definitely cut off the last few minutes. The most important episode of the series to date and the marketing people can't get the listings correct.-rolleyes-

Re: The Americans -- "Safe House" -- 4/03/13
Damn, cut off too. 7 fucking minutes were cut off? That's a major fuck up.
The only thing that seemed weird to me is that if his FBI partner was such a ladies man, why was he obsessed with the secretary. |
Re: The Americans -- "Safe House" -- 4/03/13
Maybe because he's growing up?
Awesome episode and I feel bad for anyone that missed the "KGB" guy getting shot. It was epic. I've been looking for an animated gif of it, but haven't found one yet. |

Mine started with that scene (I record the rerun due to DVR conflicts) and I thought I had missed a chunk of the episode in the recording.
As to that scene, he shot the guy.

I dont think its obsession. I think he just thought something was fishy about her... remember last episode when he 'scared' her in the director's office. He had that weird look on his face afterwords like "something is up".

Re: The Americans -- "Safe House" -- 4/03/13
Chris may or may not have been obsessed with Martha. I don't think he was. He just liked flirting with her because he had been with her and knew he could do it again or at least try. That is part his ladies man character is not being committed to one woman but know that you can or think you can go back to the woman you were once with. He liked her and thought he could get it again but not be boyfriend-girlfriend. Martha is obviously very needy, vulnerable with men especially with her falling in love with "Phillip" so quickly:lol: so you can see why Chris thought he could get in there over and over again..

Re: The Americans -- "Safe House" -- 4/03/13
I agree, another great episode and the series highlight for Noah Emerich. A really tense, engrossing hour. I'll miss Chris, but it was probably needed to give the show a real sense of character jeopardy.
The regent is going to be mighty pissed when he finds out that Phillip and Elizabeth had Amador without his knowledge and let him die in their care. This won't go well. |
Re: The Americans -- "Safe House" -- 4/03/13
Great episode this week. One of my favorites thus far. Thankfully my recording didn't cut it short...that would have been frustrating.
