The (first?) trailer for "Cardinal" is out, as well as a full scene from the episode. A new trailer for the second season in general is also out.

The ratings for "Comrades" (season two, episode one) are out, and they are mixed, mostly bad, news. Critic Alyssa Rosenberg, who has been a huge champion of the show, was vocally disappointed on Twitter. But others compared it to what happened with Breaking Bad, implying there's reason to be hopeful.

A couple more season two reviews have trickled in: from the New Republic and from The Atlantic.

Crave Online has an interview with Matthew Rhys.

Indiewire on TV's antihero tradition and how The Americans deviates from it with a compelling romance.

Vulture on That Sex Scene from "Comrades."

E Online talks about the most intense moments from some of the premieres of this past week, including The Americans.

And Complex has one more "talking to the cast at the season two premiere" video.

I wondered for a while if those questions had actually gone anywhere, but eventually figured they must not have. This is so much better than anything I could have expected, though! I hope they do more and more of those.

Well, I know at least one of your questions was very similar to mine, so let's consider that one shared. ;)

I am just beside myself with excitement at the idea of FINALLY finding out more about Philip, and that we get to see his and Elizabeth's early days!
