Calling all New York-based fans (or folks who can get there easily)! The Americans will have a panel discussion at this year's New York Comic Con on Friday, October 10th, with showrunners Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields, as well as Keri Russell (Elizabeth), Noah Emmerich (Stan), and Annet Mahendru (Nina).

Malaysian paper The Star has a new republication of an old interview with Matthew Rhys.

Sexworker Leigh Alanna of the "Tits and Sass" blog has reviewed the show from a sexworker's perspective.

And Annet Mahendru has confirmed that the cast is starting to get their first scripts for season three.

Yuletide nominations

Yuletide nominations are open. Is anyone here definitely planning to nominate The Americans? If you are, what characters are you nominating?

I was hoping we could coordinate our efforts.

This probably should have its own post but I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in a single fandom gift exchange, not this calendar year but the next. I was thinking about an exchange modeled along the lines of fringe_exchange, which would be open to writers, artists, podficcers and vidders.

I thought it would be fun to slot it between the first of the year and the beginning of the new season. Alternatively, it could help fill the long hiatus between the end of season three and the start of season four.
