Note: Do non read on if you crap not yet seen Season 1, Episode 9 of "The Americans," titled " safety House."
Is it hardly me or was "Safe House" a splintering like "Modern Family" this week? If every atomic number 53 just slowed down and talk up, there would be no confusion -- everyone could get the nurture they needed without needlessly battling each other, and solve all their problems. except that would be boring.
The joke's on me for speculating about what was issue to happen with Amador and Martha and Nina exsert episode. The writers just took care of it. That's all well and good in terms of moving the plot along for the season accomplishment wind-up, merely this episode just didn't make sense on so many levels.
For example:
Amador was a weird dude. I know he claimed he was just a true cat looking for one night stands at the Crab Shack, notwithstanding first, when did he and Stan become close enough buds to get in a framed picture together? What's the timeline here? Do I just not understand male friendships?
Secondly, it's not like Chris had been doing secret recon on the Jennings. He was really release to take Philip 'down to station,' or an undisclosed location, to beat him up for staying o'er at Martha's? I'm not going to buy that he accept 'Clark' from the Beeman's party. He was too busy talking shop the strong time to meet Philip and hardly checked out Elizabeth. horizontal when he almost recognized her on his death sock, he didn't. He was kidnapped and murdered for no good reason.
Except that then, because of all of the misunderstandings, Stan went all-in with the scamp mission his FBI friends were planning to capture Arkady, and Beeman got to unleash his pent up male rage on his first in command, Vlad. The beat punishment for a KGB agent during the unwarmed War is maybe dying by a bullet to the head tour you're chewing bad American fast food.
Now the FBI is riled up over losing one more of their own in a botched mission that wasn't even a mission. And the KGB will believably be riled up by Beeman's cryptic shout call to Arkady just before offing Vlad. I'm no diplomatist or historian, but doesn't that seem to sum up the Cold War? Veiled threats and called bluffs and a lot of fuss over nothing more than nationalist ideals and ego. So now we have to assume that the Jennings might be in trouble for messing up yet again. I thought the fun of this show was that they were going to start to be figured out by the FBI, but that hope is squashed.
Another thing that doesn't make sense is Martha's love for Clark. She's just so pathetic. Her and Chris would have made a good team. No, Martha, your alliance is not real, no matter how many breakfasts in bed you make for the man. Especially if you serve grapefruit.
And of course, the separation. If anyone can handle divorce, it's Elizabeth. barely we all know it's not going to go that far. If there's one thing we can expect from this show, it's a quick, almost inexplicable solution to every issue that wasn't an issue the episode before. I'm dead reckoning Philip will be back in the house for blithely ever after by the time Elizabeth finishes the stir fry.
One death item of note: if anyone knows where I can my hands on the three owl lamp from the Jennings' foyer, please advise.
"The Americans" airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on FX.
