I like where this season is going with Paige as either she's going to be a killing machine or completely unravel.

I wonder how they will get Henry involved as possibly Paige tells him?

I still can't stand Paige's boyfriend as something about him just annoys me.

I almost got divorced watching that scene with my wife

Has Henry appeared in any episode this season?

Henry was in last episode. He came to Stan's house for dinner. He didn't have any lines.

I watched this last night, and when I saw the shower scene I texted my only friend I know that watches it:

Me: Did you watch The Americans this week yet?
Him: Nice Ass!

It took me about 15 minutes to get past that scene...

Oh please, there is no reason for her to show her ass other then to titalate guys like us because she has a nice ass. Her ass had nothing to do with the story or the greater arc of the show. It was shown so guys like us would gawk at it like we're all doing in this thread.

Wasn't there a previous episode with her showing skin, and people questioned if it was a body double?

This episode's shot seemed to be constructed specifically to say "yes that's MY ass"...

Yup, I had to pause that scene for a moment. Thanks Felicity

If the comments elsewhere are similar to the ones here, the producers will quickly move to rename the episode for the DVD/BD release.

I read an interesting interview in the latest EW with writers of the show. They mentioned the Russian defector's family and how the guy's comments may affect Phillip & Elizabeth.

At first they mentioned the obvious (Elizabeth seething and even Phillip getting riled up and pushed out of his ambiguity), but then they suggested that the criticisms might make them question what is actually happening "back home" since they haven't been back for any length of time in a long while.

I'm not feeling a good vibe for that family. The father may be in for a close encounter with a bumbershoot. Or a Williamburger.
