I suppose the episode's best scene — the charged game of Joust between Elizabeth and Claudia at the local arcade — was also an apt metaphor for where The Americans stands as we head toward zero hour: Games on top of games on top of games. Everyone is playing everyone else as quickly and recklessly as they can. But the thing about those old arcade machines is that it didn't really matter how good you were or how many quarters you had in your pocket to burn: There weren't happy endings or really any kind of endings at all. The thing about games back in 1981 is that, no matter what, everyone eventually lost.
Here, The Bridge takes place at the border between El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico, where there’s already plenty of illegal activity. After a body is found near a bridge at the border, Detective Ruiz (Demian Bichir) and his American colleague, Detective Sonya Cross (Diane Kruger) set out to solve this grizzly case and hunt down a serial killer, »

Episode 6 is airing this sunday. I use icefilms.info. Wait to about 10:20 pm EST and the episode is usually up.Might have to check out Hannibal. I canceled my HBO subscription so no Game of Thrones. How many episodes have aired so far?
I was never going to look it up but every time I see the teasers on tv I'm like what the **** is this about already!!? (in a good way) The July 10th premiere has been seared in my mind.*off subject, anyone else loving the teasers of "The Bridge?"
In case you're wondering what it's about, here's a short blurb from IMDB:

Should be another good one from FX.
The show The Americans reminds me of more and more here in this first season is Mad Men. Like that series, the show is a period piece with a slightly detached storytelling style. Like that series, The Americans can feel a little distant if you’re not tapped into its deep reservoirs of subtext. And like Mad Men, The Americans offers up an intense well of emotion, forever building and building, until it can be almost unbearable to watch. Yet that well of emotion is kept behind the thinnest of membranes, never to bubble onto the surface until this episode, a season finale that finally reveals just how deeply these characters feel, just how perilous their course could become if they gave in to those emotions. But where Don Draper expresses his true emotions in a lengthy monologue about nostalgia, Philip and Elizabeth reveal their hands with just three words.
The first comes from Philip, racing to save his wife. “Elizabeth,” he says, and it could feel cheap, if it weren’t built so perfectly. (Arkady’s plan to let the Jenningses know they’re up **** creek by painting an abort symbol on the side of a car and trying to catch the two of them is ingenious.) It’s a neat return to that moment in the pilot when Philip revealed his true allegiance after a full episode of toying with defection to the Americans by killing the informant who’d assaulted his wife. Philip’s allegiance, even when the two weren’t together, is to his wife, and he’ll risk everything to save her. Matthew Rhys’ voice cracks just enough in this episode when he says that word to let you know that Philip is picturing a world without Elizabeth, and it’s one that looks bleak.
The other two come from Elizabeth, and they devastated me like few have in recent TV memory. “Come home,” she says to Philip when she awakens from unconsciousness to talk to him at her warehouse bed. It’s what she’s wanted to say for episodes, but it’s what she hasn’t been able to say, because these people keep everything behind a veneer of professionalism and duty. What’s more, she says it in Russian, a choice that works so beautifully. Here’s Elizabeth, returning to her mother tongue, to ask her husband to be her husband again. It’s the strongest possible way she can think of to make this commitment, and it’s perhaps my favorite moment of the whole season.
