    S04.E07: Travel Agents

    in The Americans [V]

    Quote

    Woodley Park isn't really a "park", it's a neighborhood that borders on Rock Creek Park, so plausibly Martha was walking from Woodley Park (where she could have gotten by Metro) into a nearby section of Rock Creek Park. Not sure why "Woodley Park" had to be mentioned when they could have stuck with Rock Creek Park (it's huge) all along.

    Thanks, RedHawk, I was just going to post the same info. But what really bothered me was that it was obviously NOT shot in Rock Creek Park or anywhere in DC at all. I looked it up and found the bridge scene was shot in Croton Gorge Park in Cortlandt, NEW YORK.

    S04.E18: Where Are They Now? Joe

    in My 600-lb Life

    I missed the original "Joe" episode so this might have been addressed then, but did he have any kind of job? Although he selected a modest engagement ring for Sarah, I wondered how he could afford ANY ring at all. And to just stop in at a jewelry store in a town you've never been to before, the same day you're going to "pop the question", in the hopes that you'll find something affordable seemed very unbelievable to me. Perhaps that store donated or deeply discounted the ring in exchange for the mention on national TV. And who paid for those TWO seats on the plane? I was also surprised at seeing Sarah in person after the Skype calls, she looked a lot different with those thick glasses.

    And speaking of their disguises, aren't there times when they leave or return to the house in them and doesn't Stan notice?

    They're never near the houses in them. They change in and out of disguise in other places and go out/come home as themselves.

    Thanks for the clarification. I'm still wondering, though, just WHERE they find to change into or out of their disguises. Ripping them off quickly is one thing, but I would think it must take a while to skillfully apply wigs, beards, etc. and can't imagine them pulling off the road to do so. 

    S04.E06: The Rat

    in The Americans [V]

    Was Philip's blonde wig/beard a new disguise from his bag of tricks? It was more convincing than usual because when he met William to get the rat, for a second I thought to myself, "Who's THAT guy?" And speaking of their disguises, aren't there times when they leave or return to the house in them and doesn't Stan notice?

    Okay, I have to ask here - I tuned in to see the bride on a hover board. Why.

    some idiotic excuse about "always having to make an entrance." I also caught the rerun of the 3 "VIP Pnina" brides. Pnina said something like "When you spend $ 100,000 for your wedding dress, you want it to be perfect." I've got news for you honey, no matter how much or how little someone spends for their wedding dress, they want it to be perfect! And the other rerun with "Bride on a Budget," Shoshana, the vocal frying actress who supports herself by babysitting. (?) If $ 2,000 is the absolute maximum you can spend on your dress, go to David's Bridal, NOT Kleinfeld's!

    So Matthew comes to stay with his father (for the weekend, he's not permanently moving home, right?) and within minutes Stan is "See ya in the morning, gotta work all night...and oh yeah, babysit the neighbor's kid..."

    S04.E13: Lupe's Story

    in My 600-lb Life

    What a depressing two hours! I couldn't bring myself to "root" for Lupe to be successful because she was just so negative and whiny. The thing that most intrigued me, though, was the broken toilet seat incident. You would think that Dr. Now's office, accustomed to seeing 600+ lb. patients, many of whom are in wheelchairs, would have some kind of "industrial strength" toilet facility. This leads me to wonder if that whole scene was staged (not that I'm complaining about the hunky rescue squad.)

    2) Martha is SO SMART to come up with that "married man" line. Brilliant. (And more true than she knows!)

    Martha wasn't lying when she told Agent Alderholt (why aren't they on a first name basis?) that she was in a relationship with a "married man." As far as she knows Clark IS married--to her!

    edited to add: Gabriel's apartment has to be one of the most depressing sets I've ever seen on television.

    Edited again to add: I don't think finding a wedding ring in a single woman's apartment should raise any Red Flags (sorry.) I have my mother's rings in my jewelry box. And I don't think it's unusual for a woman to have a prop ring to wear in a situation when she doesn't want male attention.

    I found it kind of ridiculous that they were supposedly reading maps with local street names instead of highway or route numbers. Instead of "We can go North on 18 then pick up Route 3" they were saying things almost like "We can take Honeysuckle then hang a left on Bluebird" as if they were driving through a familiar residential area.

    in The Americans [V]

    I think that Elizabeth has become "Patty" the Mary Kay newbie in order to gain access to Young-Hee's family, specifically her brother, Don, (wine guy.) Don could be the key to get to Level 4 of the Bio Lab and Elizabeth will take advantage of him being more "Americanized" than most of his family and start a relationship with him. And we all know how irresistible Elizabeth is when she turns on the charm!

    I was confused by the airport scenes, Philip just took a little road trip from DC to JFK, at the very least an 8 hour round trip? Why not Dulles? But I was really impressed at that convenient parking spot he got right near the shuttle! As far as the girl on the shuttle, rocking out to "Tainted Love" while oblivious to what was going on behind her, were we to believe her headphones were blasting the music THAT loud?

    I also think Daryl was fooling around when he continued to grind the gears on that truck, and just doing it to "bust chops". And I'm amazed that Denise saw a cooler in a car and after risking everyone's lives to get it, she found a single elusive Orange Crush! I mean, what are the odds! Too bad that apothecary didn't sell lottery tickets...

    Was I the only viewer who wasn't chilled by the sight of the bloody baby shoe because I COULDN'T TELL WHAT THE HECK IT WAS? I rewound, froze the frame and I still had no idea what I was looking at! I thought it was some kind of plastic thing, a toy or maybe a mouth guard, and I was totally surprised when it was identified on TD.

    Wait, that was lawyer Barbie who had the lining taken out, yes? Didn't she do a one-year renewal last year?

    Yes, same Illegally Blonde twins back again. I believe she was on the second time when she chose her vow renewal dress and last night was the follow up downstairs fitting of the renewal dress followed by clips of the ceremony. I hope we're finally done with them, oh wait, is the other twin married?

    I was just totally distracted by Alicia's non-stop ugly crying! And the shallow skanky orange twins were back AGAIN because the one was having a two year vow renewal because she didn't like the way she looked in her gown the first time? Their voices got on my last nerve...
