Bad News

304 – “Dimebag”

On this week’s The Americans on FX, episode 304, “Dimebag”, things get pretty gross.  Phillip wrestles with recruiting an underage daughter of a CIA official, Elizabeth throws down the guantlet on Page and then Jesus Christ our Lord Himself, Stan learns how to get in touch with his boring-ass inner self, and Nina find intrigue in track suit prison.  Ah, The Americans:  If stuffing a woman into a suitcase and pulling teeth on screen won’t “nope” you out, how about child predation?  All this and some feedback that has the guys rethinking things.  Have a great weekend!

605 – “Sounding”

In this episode 605 of FX’s Justified, “Sounding”, the show takes a quick breather to setup the next round of plot developments while still managing to throw us in some fan-red-meat in the form of Constable Bob and Limehouse.  A few things we were aplexed about; Ava playing the hapless damsel in distress routine in particular was not a good look for her.  Other topics discuss include the various types of “damps” one can encounter in a mineshaft, Choo Choo’s impending Steinbeck moment, Bob’s fully armed and operational balls, Boyd paying a visit to an in-law, and the intriguing rift in the Ty / Avery alliance.  That’s to say nothing of our theory on Loretta ruling the Harlan necropolis via the might of Apple Pie, nor all the great feedback we got!
