Episode Transcripts

[wendelah1]

I'm a fanfiction writer who's mostly written for The X-Files, Fringe, and various small fandoms. There are transcripts available for every episode of both shows, which is a resource I've found invaluable. Does anyone here know if there is someone already doing The Americans episode transcripts? If not, is anyone interested in doing it?

I've recently started writing fanfic for The Americans. It would be so helpful to be able to just pull up the transcript whenever I wanted to fact-check something, or make sure I've heard a bit of dialogue correctly. It's also much faster and easier (and less painful emotionally) to read the transcript rather than have to re-watch an episode.

Is it unrealistic of me to want this, given how small a fandom we still are? Probably. But I still want it.

As long as I'm asking for the moon, wouldn't it be wonderful to have an up-to-date wiki devoted solely to The Americans, with articles about all of the characters, and links to resources pertinent to the time period, spycraft, etc.?

This is a discussion post for episode 212 of The Americans, intended for viewers who are watching the show on the U.S./Canadian schedule. (Feel free to dive in to the discussion even if you're coming in late--and you should also feel free to start a new thread if it seems too daunting to read through what's already been posted first. If you're reading this at a point where you've already seen subsequent episodes, though, please take care to keep comments spoiler-free of anything that comes after season two, episode twelve.)
