The Americans (Season Finale)

Last edited Thu May 2, 2013, 09:44 AM - Edit history (1)

Seems like no one has been discussing it for awhile, episode 12 was yesterday. Next week is the Season 1 Finale

* Spoilers warning*

There were a few shockers. Nina turned herself into the Resident and told him she'd been spying for the US and sleeping with the FBI agent. Phillips alter ego married Martha with Elizabeth and Claudia (their supervisor aka "grandma&quot there acting as his family. The Weinberger's maid turned herself into the FBI for bugging their house when she was threatened by Philip and Elizabeth.

Edit: I updated the thread to discuss the finale. What did everyone think? The daughter seems very suspicious of her mother.

The song at the end was Peter Gabriel Games without Frontiers (which I'd never heard before as I was only 9 when it came out). It has references to both China and Nazi Germany which is funny because Grandma was talking about her friend in WWII.

Here is the song:



It is such a bizarre song, but so fitting for the situation....

Same thing with most of the cable shows. They have been showing the previous seasons of GoT here in Korea, but it's not something I can see myself interested in.

Maybe the FBI gets Phillip and they realize that Martha is the mole in the department.
