Another small tidbit - I think from the premiere

[sistermagpie]

This is just another little tiny tidbit for the season 2, but one that I thought was so awesome I just had to post it. It's from a review of the second season in EW posted here: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20786364,00.html

The reviewer thinks S2 looks awesome!

Here's the little spoiler in the review

From the review:

"There's a marvelous moment when the Jenningses and another KGB couple conspire to cross paths so they can see one another's children. They share a look that conveys so much at once — admiration, loneliness, longing. The Americans is the story of people wanting more truth in their lives and more justice in the world, and it has found a unique way to tell it."

I don't even know where to start at how beautiful that moment sounds! Elizabeth and Philip and another Elizabeth and Philip showing off their American children together because they love them and are so proud of them and only this other couple will understand! I so love this show for giving us that!

Though given the flashes on those previews, I'm thinking that other family comes to a terrible end sooner than later...

I do too, although I greedily hope we get the balance of that time on Philip with Elizabeth. I love so many aspects of the show, but it's their relationship in all its twisty, passionate, painful, adoring, complicated versions that really sold me.

I just read a little interview with Noah E. and Matthew R. and one of the great things MR said was that just because P&E worked things out didn't mean they were okay now. They still had a long process. Yay!

Yay! That's exactly what I'm hoping to hear! It's really the struggle of watching them work through the difficult stuff and keep coming back to each other no matter what that makes their little successes worth it and that much more meaningful.

And now I'm terribly curious to know if we're going to get an "I love you" for Philip this season.

Oops! Lemme find it again...

Found it. Noah wants to wear a wig. Also he's sure we'll hear more about Stan's undercover work.

I would have included this in today's linkspam, but the "watchtheamericans.com" site has been down all morning! Maybe next time.
