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.

Is anyone from the comm planning to go to the NYCC panel? It would be awesome if someone would do a writeup!

I love that sex worker article so much! The show basically treats that aspect the way it treats the spying aspect, as a day to day thing that they get used to and becomes routine.

A friend of mine recently was complaining about some show, I can't remember what, where they did that annoying thing where a woman is married to a cop and then spends all her time being upset and worried over his job. Or maybe it was one of those shows where the person's married to a criminal and keeps doing that. She was like, "You knew who this person was when you married him! You need to accept the person you're married to."

I said, "Like the couple on The Americans."

She said, "Yes, exactly! They know who each other is and what they do!"

Yes, that article is fab.

The 'new' interview with Matthew is charming but not new. It was originally published last spring by an American news source and included a picture of Matthew in the blue chambray shirt and cargo pants.

Oops! Thanks for the catch. I'll edit.

Maybe they'll tape the panel and post it, like they did for The X-Files?

Ooh, that would be cool! I know nothing about the ways of Comic Con, so I didn't know that was a thing.

But TXF Paley panel got posted, too. Paley didn't post the panel for The Americans online, did they?

There's always people posting unofficial stuff from cons to YouTube. It would surprise and dismay me if no one taped The Americans panel and put it up.

Paley is a beast of its own, though. They don't always make panels publicly accessible (for example if they want to keep it for members only, or sell it someday as a DVD). They do sometimes, though.
