An interview with Alison Wright (Martha) in Rolling Stone.
An interview with Holly Taylor (Paige) in Vulture.
An interview with Costa Ronin (Oleg) in Metro.
There's a The Americans recap video podcast being done by AfterBuzz, and the most recent one also has a guest spot by Costa Ronin (video, ~54 min). There's also an audio version of the podcast available here.
The Americans has come in at #2 in the new Hollywood Reporter "power rankings".
Recent data indicates that The Americans is the most time-shifted show of all in the U.S. (meaning that a larger percentage of our show's audience watches a recorded version of the show than is the case with any other show).
The official description of the finale has been released.
Better late than never, there's a Guardian review of the first season's box set.
And finally, FX has released a little mini-documentary about the show's vintage cars (visible only within the U.S.).

I have so much trouble imagining this--snapping in and out of the sort of mental state you'd have to be in to give the performance we saw in that scene! Where you could give that sort of performance and still be jokey Matthew Rhys between takes, just...wow.
