The EPA report on Area B: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0304606 quote:Initially, Area B was established as a proving ground in the Army's Biological Warfare program. Later, Area B was used as a disposal area for chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) material and until 1970 for biological experimentation. Promo for episode502 Pests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26MaOSr1bgQ Edit: VVV Yep, although season 6 will only be 10 episodes instead of 13. Maybe longer episodes though. drunkill fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Mar 8, 2017 |

We'll give you the slowest loving burn on cable television! drunkill posted:As shown at the start of the episode, basically nobody can get food in the USSR, they're in the middle of a famine. Even the KGB staff were 'joking' about it. Hell, Olegs father is (the minister?) in the Ministry of Railways and I doubt their dinner was lavish. I might have missed something, how do we know the CIA extracted them? And if they did, why, and also why aren't they keeping an eye on them?

Ironically the division Oleg ends up working for makes the food shortage problems even worse by banning the use of state property (e.g., vehicles) for farmers to take whatever surplus they had to market under an anti corruption decree.

Poor Stan.  I hope this isn't some sort of lame, setup season for the final season like S5 of Justified. banned from Starbucks posted:Kind of a weak start tbh. The "whoops im clumsy and got infected" thing felt like it shoulda come from some lovely zombie movie not The Americans. Also yeah 7 minutes watching people dig what was that about. They really needed to pad out their premier that badly? The timed, focused-on panting through the masks by Elizabeth and Philip was kind of forced, too.

I too thought it was going to be a lesson in the art of the blowjob or something at the end there. Phew. I liked how at the restaurant the first thing you hear is someone sneezing and a kid coughing on the salad bar. Who needs Lassa virus?

"I've had enough of your attitude, Paige. Don't give me your poo poo. Eat me out. Then you're going to make out with me and orally pleasure your father. You have to learn all this to help The Cause. Practice on Matthew if it makes you feel better." That would've been one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen on TV if they'd gone that route and that's a commentary on how far FX is willing to push it in spite of how good their shows are.

They could hit a real sentimental note in the finale if they show an adult Paige staring wistfully at something while rubbing her fingers together. Mameluke posted:Jesus christ why the gently caress are you even thinking about this. The only thing your non-observation is a commentary on is your own mind. Hmm, family-time is getting intense... must be incest. The intensity made me anxious, too, but I thought it was going to be some weird depersonalizing meditative exercise. Or something off-putting about covers like, "You have to find it within yourself to make it real." I didn't expect it to be some hokey rub your fingers together and think of your parents thing. Edit: Makes me think of this show about Delta force where one of the operators was giving someone a crash course in maintaining cover. They had this fun little question-answer back-and-forth based around, "What's real is true. Cover is real. Cover is true. What is true?" "My name is [cover]."

It didn't jibe at all with Elizabeth's "I'm tired of treating her like a child" line. I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting (though it definitely wasn't anything like what people were saying upthread, jfc), but I did kind of expect it to be sort of off-putting to the audience.
