Links

As predicted, The Americans-related links have slowed to a trickle for the summer, but here are a few:

From Entertainment Weekly, a piece on why Philip Jennings is the best character on the show (and a smaller blurb on the same topic here).

The Emmys air tonight, and the show has been mentioned in a number of pieces that deal with what should have been nominated but wasn't: from Entertainment Weekly again, from the Boston Globe, from the Kansas City Star, from Vulture, and from Wall Street Cheat.

[dreamwidth.org profile] cathexys is an academic whose work centres around popular culture, and she's working up something for a conference in Austin in September called Complex Negotiation of National Identity in The Americans. The post where she talks about it is access-locked, as all of her posts are, but she always adds people who want to be added (just drop her a note either in a comment or in a private message).
