A family walks into a talent agency. It's a father, mother, son, daughter and an assortment of friends. The father says to the talent agent, "We have a really amazing act. You should represent us." The agent says, "Sorry, I don't represent family acts. They're a little too cute." The mother says, "Sir, if you just see our act, we know you would want to represent us." The agent says, "OK. OK. I'll take a look." At this, the mom and dad call in one of the women accompanying them. The two of them kill her in front of the agent and then stuff her body in a suitcase. They call in another friend, whom they kill, then chop off his head and hands. As they do all this, the father calls in a 17 year old and another woman his age, both of whom he fucks in front of the agent at the same time. Meanwhile, the daughter calls in a priest and converts to Christianity right in front of their eyes. As all this is happening, the son takes a photo of the agent's wife from his desk and starts masturbating all over it. Frustrated, the agent himself gets in on the act and starts chasing them around the room until they all stop. For the longest time, the agent just sits in silence. Finally, he manages, "That's a hell of an act. What do you call it?" And the father says, "The Americans!"

Stan never does figure out who the illegals are. The last scene is him showing up with a 6-pack and helping Philip and Henry bond over a game of Strat-o-Matic.

It makes me very sad to realize the finale starts in 24 hours. The final countdown is on. I think Stan ends up adopting Henry after Philip and Liz die in a climactic shoot out where the 2 of them refused to abandon the other. Perhaps said shoot out happens at the US-Canadian boarder with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's "If You Leave" for the background music. Paige plays dumb and says she had no idea her parents were spies. Oleg is traded back to the Soviet Union for another spy, but he lives in disgrace. The final shot is Renee receiving instructions from Claudia about how to evaluate Henry as a potential spy recruit. LaptopGun fucked around with this message at 02:52 on May 30, 2018 |

One thing I've always been curious about in this show is the cars. I guess somewhere there is a warehouse full of vehicles from the various decades and they just rent out for shooting?

Random thoughts from the penultimate episode 1. Why did Stan offer Philip the loan to bail out the travel agency? Was it some sort of test? He clearly thinks the Jennings are the illegals he’s been looking for. I could see Stan thinking “he didn’t take the money so he must have a secret source of funding.” Or maybe Stan really did offer the loan as a friend in the hopes that his gut feeling his best friend is actually his enemy is wrong. 2. Tatiana‘s fate does actually jive (or at least to me) with what we’ve seen of her. She’s risked a lot with her schemes in this show. Now to get back on her original career path she accepts a job that was probably above her pay grade. The fact that Elizabeth had no idea who she was also helped with depicting her isolation from the rest of the KGB (being an illegal and all she’s had next to no contact with the Residentura). I agree it could have been sett up better but I’m not sure how. This has been a tightly packed season and I don’t really see much more room for scenes with Tatiana. 3. I hope Oleg doesn’t get scapegoated for the failed hit on negotiator and Tatiana‘s death in the line of duty.

LaptopGun posted:Random thoughts from the penultimate episode I sincerely think Stan's read is "my friend was dragged into this by Elizabeth", and that's why his investigation leans on her so hard. He legitimately finds Philip to be a good friend and it may be the lone thing blinding him to some truths.

They had a bunch of cars plus a few sources to get others as needed. They worked a lot of the movies and TV shows like Law and Order and stuff filmed around NYC. They once cut a truck in half and fit it inside the one of the soap opera sound stages to film a crash.

LaptopGun posted:Random thoughts from the penultimate episode For 1, I was thinking it’s a “keep my enemies close” type of thing. Stan offers to help out as a ploy to make Phillip keep thinking nothing was wrong. After all why would you suspect someone who thinks of you well enough to loan you however much money suspects you’re a secret spy?

Of course, you could be reading way too into it, and Philip might be so in the hole that he knows Stan's GS salary or fraction of his savings won't cover what he needs to make up.

That offer doesn't necessarily have to have a lot of meaning behind it. In Stan's eyes, his idea of the Jennings family being spies is still fairly crazy, and even if it wasn't crazy, there still a chance that his good friend is in trouble. So he wants to help his good friend.

I want to see the natural evolution of existing plot points, not hamfisted twists. She's been established as just a normal woman. Let her be that. The last two seasons have been bad enough without screwing up a sure thing finale, too.
