#TheAmericans Did the Soviet Union plant fake defectors? Should google that...Geez there's a whole Wikipedia entry on "Fake Defection" by both sides...Is Snowden an op?

One of our best hackers inside Russia...what a cover. No. Couldn't be...I won't believe it.

#TheAmericans "Have To Make It Real" #philsbandnames


#TheAmericans So they do seduce and have sex with people their own sex. That's a tough job.


#TheAmericans Are we bugging the clock or the phone now? Or just rifling through things....?


#TheAmericans The US, under Reagan and with the help of last season's proxy Oliver North, was evil to support the contras. Lucia was right to hate us...


#TheAmericans The Boland amendment restricted funding to the Contras, a bunch of murderous thugs who would've restored the brutal Somoza regime.


#TheAmericans So she killed and injured a guy who did her target's job so she could one, get her in and also reveal the con: More money just by talking to a "consultant"..


#TheAmericans "Everybody Loves Nina" #philsbandnames


#TheAmericans I'm taking a controversial position: Flock of Seagulls just way wayyyy better than Yaz...Is he still trapped in those rotating mirrors...?


#TheAmericans Okay now why did she kill the husband..to make her more dependent on Elizabeth? Diabolical...


#TheAmericans "Fingers crossed" sez your new best friend whatever her secret spy alias name is.....Hey you get clearance then she gets clearance...


#TheAmericans Well if I had to seduce a 17 year old girl for my country then I'm sure I would do the right thing...

What is that exactly? Oh yeah the mission...

#TheAmericans Yeah you can buy her a dress but can you indoctrinate her into Mother Russia's spy service? No I bet...

#TheAmericans Well that's creepy and that Yaz isn't helping...Where's Depeche Mode?


#TheAmericans Come on Commie Atheist parents. Lay down the law. Just say no baptism...


#TheAmericans So that's Yaz. I had forgotten. Kind of an Androgynous Synth pop band. I would have gone with JoBoxers "Just Got Lucky"

Nice mix of music and paranoia as Agent Beeman tears apart that restroom...

#TheAmericans "How did I know about YAZ? Well I'm seducing and turning a nice young girl your age...she might die in the process I dunno...YAZ!"


#TheAmericans Can Philip the fake lobbyist lawyer seduce a girl his own daughter's age? That's creepy.


#TheAmericans Oh she's there to steal the IDs from the Defense contractor...


#TheAmericans Interesting question: Did the Soviets send fake defectors? Should google that...I don't trust her either....


#TheAmericans New stunning wig and glasses by Philip. Call this one "The Travolta". You posers over at #Allegiance could learn a thing or two...


#TheAmericans Callie Thorne from Burn Notice and Necessary Roughness? She's a good actress..love interest for Stan?

Hey FX is better than USA...

#TheAmericans Soviet style (prison) sucks but I thought it would be worse. Here it looks like more like a Hellish dorm with crap buckets. Okay that's bad....


#TheAmericans "The CIA is a hard target." Well that kid is dead...


#TheAmericans Okay now its wigs and glasses. Didn't she wear those last week?

#Allegiance Well those burst transmitters are scary. And they're real. A step up from the 80s tech of #TheAmericans

#Allegiance What's with knowing when you're being tailed? Same plotline on yesterday's #TheAmericans.


#TheAllegiance Just like in the #Americans the parents have to lie a lot.

But their lies aren't as good without wigs....and Russian hair and makeup.

#TheBlacklist Red is the savior of the Uzbekistani people. Who knew. And under four personally murdered.


#TheBlacklist Hmm. Art more accurate than news. CIA site reports all poisonings except for oil. US Embassy seems to promote American business interests. Links below.

http://uzbekistan.usembassy.gov/doing-business-local.html

Very realistic episode, down to the low level insurgency. 

#TheBlacklist The "villain" or guy into politics weekly villain is ruthless but he's facing a ruthless adversary. Very #gameofthrones


#TheBlackList Wow. Or things Brian Williams wouldn't honestly report on. Uzbek dictator is pretty evil and boils people alive. Oil damages sound plausible...http://antiwar.com/blog/2011/11/04/uzbek-dictator-shifts-from-boiling-people-to-freezing-them/


#TheBlackList Two possible endings: Red kills a lot of bad high level baddies. Or: Red takes over all of their businesses. Two seems more realistic...


#TheBlackList As per usual, if Red kills more than 4 then that's a really bloody episode.

#TheAmericans I see that faux David Horowitz is back. I definitely see the resemblance...


#TheAmericans We appreciate Philip's dentistry but why not use the doctor that treated Elizabeth's gun wound?


#TheAmericans New phone lady. Old phone guy got shot...


#TheAmericans See? I'm not spy material. I just would have walked out of the car. No duck and roll for me....


#TheAmericans Too many wigs. I spotted three in just the first 15 minutes, two for Elizabeth and one for Philip...who taught them?

You "amateurs" on #Allegiance. And those glasses? How do they remember them all?

#TheAmericans What Phil should have said: "You're really not committed unitl you marry the recruit..."


#TheAmericans Ok this wig: Let's call it the "Mary Tyler Moore"...


#TheAmericans Gotta train the new guy. Especially since you lose so many guys...


#TheAmericans Or is this #Allegiance? I think this is the one with wigs so they're Real Spies Doin' Real Spyin'...

#BetterCallSaul Note to self: When one doesn't have a proper business fake being an assistant with a Brit accent. Can see why he turned to representing sleaze...


#BetterCallSaul Are these boys fucking a corpse...and they filmed it? Guess Saul loses this one...


#BetterCallSaul I presume the flashbacks will be in color....


#BetterCallSaul This must be starting out in the present or ABB. Looks drear but Cinnabons are delicious says this Type 2 diabetic.


#TheWalkingDead So long Tyrese and boy ministers giving eulogies will have steady work in this universe...


#TheWalkingDead On the other hand it helps to have friends who will cut off that arm for you...


#TheWalkingDead If you're not giving up then you have to cut off that arm yourself...


#TheWalkingDead "Ok the gravy train is over and you die horribly, like everyone on this show, but you'll get lots of residuals from flashback scenes..."


#TheWalkingDead He has to lose that arm now or else...


#TheWalkingDead You can't go home again.


#TheWalkingDead I'm also hoping something violent and morally ambiguous happens tonight. Fingers crossed.


#TheWalkingDead I'm not watching the #grammys because I just don't like contemporary artists.


#EdgeofTomorrow was actually one of the best science fiction films of the year. (Now playing on HBO.)

What's also cool is that its so layered that you benefit from repeat watchings.

#Allegiance So he knows but doesn't turn them in? That's big of him...thought it would take all season to get to this point...


#Allegiance What's a Faraday cage? I guess it keeps out snoops...then what?


#Allegiance Hmmm these handlers seem to be compromised as well....


#Allegiance Still no wig action. I want wig action like Christopher Walken wants cowbell. Otherwise you're just not spyin'.....


#Allegiance Would it be nuanced about Ukraine? US seems wrong here. This would not be unlike the Russians getting California to secede in order to join the Chinese/Russian alliance...


#Allegiance Will this show mention the Ukraine thing that could start world war 3? Safer to talk about these things that took place 30 years ago....#theamericans


#Allegiance Okay so the daughter knows...was Hope Davis born here? Wouldn't she be suspicious to intelligence agencies as the daughter of a general?


#Allegiance A jazz quiz? I like these characters...Good actors certainly. Isn't this lowbrow for Hope Davis?


#Allegiance Who is listening to them? Russians or us? Oh its Russians...


#Allegiance What are your communication protocols? Looks like a burner phone...


#Allegiance Were they born in Russia or the United States? Moles or plants?


#Allegiance I want some wig action or I know they're not real spies...


#Allegiance What I like about the Americans is that it seems realistic. But burned alive? OK they did that in the 50s...that I believe.


#Allegiance Okay so they're called the "SVR" now. Not the KGB. Teevee is my edumacion...


#Allegiance Looks like a big rip off of #TheAmericans but it answers an interesting question: What are the evil Russians doing now?

Like the intensity of the first scene. It's Blacklist dark, which is almost FX dark...

#TheBlacklist I think Ron is dead but I'm not sure. So that's three dead...is the David Strathairn part coming to an end?


#TheBlacklist Is Red her father? Or just someone he takes an intense interest in...


#TheBlacklist Okay that's two down. I had a bet on four...Ron's dead right?


#Blacklist Who or what's a Hinkle? Did he kill the driver? I predicted four murders this episode and so far all I've got is punching...

Sigh. I wish I could visit Belgrade. There's always Google Earth I guess and Anthony Bourdain I guess..

#TheBlacklist What a violent Metrosexual. Well at least he didn't kill him...I think.


#TheBlacklist Well I hope the world's most sinister effete and cultural super villain kills at least four people this episode...

Missed the first ten minutes...how did he survive the bombing?

#TheAmericans That's a cool secret camera Philip has...


#TheAmericans I read the newspapers too back then and that's an accurate story. Reagan always tried to cut college funding...

...Tip O Neill and the Dems always put it back but there were some cuts.

#TheAmericans Soviet Russia is the New Orange is the New Black.


#TheAmericans "They're good with disguises." Well tlhey have a whole Soviet makeup team that follows Philip and Elizabeth around...

Seriously. That has to be it...

#TheAmericans Oh gawd the most disturbing part of this show: Beeman's dead marriage...bring back the body folding.

Body folding I can handle. This slow motion divorce stuff seems very painful.

#TheAmericans Break the bones for easy folding of the body? That's nice.

Always good to learn something useful like how to fold a murdered person into a suitcase. Just in case I turn into a crazy murderer...or a patriot serving my country.

#TheAmericans Who was the lady in the box?


#TheAmericans So they do their own cleaning? Where's Harvey Keitel?

Philip and Elizabeth are overworked.

#TheAmericans Just tell Paige you're not worried about the second wife...

Or third wife. Or the really good fellatio from that dead chick. Or that you might occasionally have to go lesbo for Mother Russia

#TheAmericans Jeez. We're still dealing with her beautiful body...Who are the Russian cleaners?


#TheAmericans Wait, didn't they steal this idea from #Allegiance?

Somebody should sue...
