    I like it. It broke my heart in places, but I like it. It fits. This was a show about family and relationships first. Not spies. I made a prediction that no one would die in the finale after seeing Oleg and Claudia survive. What do you know- no one did. 

    Paige and Henry should be able to go visit their parents in Russia soon enough. And they’ll have each other. I think that’s one reason Paige stayed. That and not really wanting to go to Russia. But- leaving Henry was too much too, I think. I choose to believe Philip and Elizabeth read their kids right- they’ll be okay. 

    I buy Stan letting them leave. It was too personal for him. So- now he’s left to wonder about Renee. No resolution there. Interesting choice. 

    That was an amazing scene- mostly between him and Philip. Philip admitted they’d been best friends. Reminded him that Stan moved in next to him- not the other way around. That he’d burned out like Stan. Loved how he and Elizabeth both emphasized the urgency in their message getting to Moscow. Reminded Stan that they loved their country too. 

    I think Philip told Stan about his suspicions about Renee out of genuine concern. 

    Stan flat out lying to Aderholt was a huge moment. Pretended to be surprised to know for sure. 

    Poor Henry. He had no idea his parents were saying good bye. But I LOVED what Philip said to him- they loved him, were proud of him, and to be himself. Good advice. 

    Oleg’s dad should get an Emmy. Broke my heart. He lost one son to a useless war and another for a mission he thinks failed. Hopefully- Arkday will tell him it wasn’t in vain. Since he picked up P and E, we know they told him everything and the coup was stopped. History tells us that. 

    The end worked. I’m so sad that P and E lost their kids, but staying home- their home- is best for them. Paige can have a real life. The secret is out now. 

    Loved that they put on their real wedding rings. Great moment. 

    Very fitting that it ends with them standing together, looking out at Moscow. Agreed the kids were okay. I liked Elizabeth’s questioning about what if they’d never left- musing maybe they’d have met anyway. Loved that they started out speaking in English. In the end- Philip saying this is weird and Elizabeth replied in Russian that they’ll adjust was perfect. I think so. 

    My quibbles- no background on Philip. Except for him to talk about his recruitment. Forgot his exact words though. No I love you from Elizabeth. But- they are together. I’ll take it. 

    I think I just wrote a dissertation. Lol 

    I so wanted her to say "I love you" to Philip somewhere in the episode!!

    The unresolved issues -- Renee, Oleg, Paige to name a few -- leave the door open for "The Americans: the movie."

    If Sex and the City did it, so can The Americans.

    At first pass, I’m ok with it.

    Loved the garage scene with Stan, Philip, Elizabeth, and Paige.

    Wanted an epilogue to see what happens to Paige.

    A nice epilogue would've been totally awesome!!  I think we deserve it especially after the waste of the second to last season and having to cram the ending.

    “It feels strange.”

    ”You’ll get used to it.”

    That’s what they said to each other when we saw a flashback of them in the cheap motel room on their first night in the USA, wasn’t it?

    hmmmm...... good thought!!

    I loved it. It’s just too bad we had to struggle through the dreck of last season to get this.  They could have advanced everything so much more but it was wasted.

    1000000%!!!!!!

    She's a soldier, the other kills were in the line of duty.  This was like killing your fellow soldier.

    That she did it at all is pretty huge. She killed a colleague. 

    I know.   I just think all of the others deserve her remorse too.  I hope she "gets it" and sees the blood on her hands.

    I wish you all could be here for the Americans Finale viewing party I've put together for tonight!  I have four friends coming over and we're having (thanks to a web search for easy to make Russian finger food) blini with smoked salmon, cucumber radish salad, Russian black bread and butter (sourced this out to my sister in law; I'm not much of a baker) , and mini lamb kabobs.  To drink?  Moscow Mules, of course!

    Hope everyone enjoys tonight's finale!

     Fun!!!!!!  Sounds yummy!!

    If someone would have told me two years ago that so much time on here (especially as the show is winding down) is spent on Paige, I would have thought they were crazy.  If they had told me she's now a spy with them, I never would've believed it. 

    I still want to see Misha, Martha and the faux Conservative reporter.
