Where things go from here: speculation and musing

[jae]

In their post-season-finale interviews, the showrunners have been very consistent about not wanting to speculate about what happens to any of the characters after the events of the finale, and have repeatedly said that it's now up to audience members to decide those things for themselves. Of course, to be consistent with both the nature and the tone of the show, any future imagined developments should probably be a) realistic (both in the sense of "consistent with reality" and in the sense of "psychologically viable for that person at that time"), and b) a mixture of melancholic and hopeful. But even within those parameters there are an awful lot of possible outcomes, and there are an awful lot of characters who those possible outcomes could happen to, as well.

So what do you think happens next? For any of the characters, and at any point in time after when the finale ends?

Re: Philip, Elizabeth, more Paige and Henry

whenever they’re alone together, they continue calling each other Philip and Elizabeth (with an American accent when they’re speaking English, and with a Russian accent when they’re speaking Russian).

I don't know why, but I love this detail. I always assumed the first part, but not the second. Even though of course it's the most natural thing to do.
