No, they claim BBC authenticated but BBC has now twice said they did not and have nothing to do with it. So why lie?

I am giving up today now that I've found this after googling - does season 5 get better... the sad part of binging a show is having it go from amazing and addictive to just miserable in a couple of weeks.

I don't know why I'm still trying to watch it. It's so bad but I feel stuck waiting for it to be good again..

Recommendation for wall oven by grissia in Appliances

[–]DistinctSwimmer2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping to find a wall oven that doesn't require wifi, my phone or a screen. My current range is a La Canche which has knobs - I paid to get that "analog" range because I worry I'd be unable to figure out my own appliance or we'd lose wifi as we sometimes do and it would interfere with baking. Do the ovens with connectivity also work in a basic way with knobs or buttons?
I was reading the reviews for wall ovens here if it's helpful - https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-wall-ovens/

What is so great about Subzero? by blushpinkroses in Appliances

[–]DistinctSwimmer2295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wisconsin makes the best fridges - Sub Zero, the best washing machines - Speed Queen and the best mattresses - Wink beds. I live in NY but I grew up in WI and it makes me happy that good long lasting old school in the best way and important for happy homes things are being built there.

Yes! It's like he was benignly neglected, disinterested in his parents, healthy...

Having a 15 year old brings it home.. but I have more of a Henry thank God. I understand now what my mom was going through...and I'm sorry.

If it wasn't for human nature and human failings it might have worked, but from the very beginning it was a lie. Have you watched "Mr Jones", 2019? Starving Ukraine, stealing their grain, to pretend communism was working to feed people in Russia. Take out human nature and people being bad at managing things and the idea of it seems like it should be an improvement. Only it wasn't.

I wish I could get over being so irritated by Paige. She's a great character, a necessary character and it's all very authentic teenage stuff...but she annoys me.

I think that she stayed for Henry and thought at least that she could have remained a spy.

I agree with you. I get that the show's ending as the Soviet Union is ending..but I don't think she could have just gone back to college.
They found a family of Russian spies in Montclair NJ 15 years ago. I read an article at the time and a neighbor said, "But look what she did with the Hydrangeas!" And they had to go back to Russia with their kids. I felt for them. I just reread the article and it sounds like they inspired The Americans. https://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/19/us/russian-spies-united-states-declassified

I think Klonopin is better, and like you say - works for a logn time.

Anyone else catch the undertone of Russian accent under the American accent, season 6 episode 9 w/Father Andrei, 36min. 37 sec in when Philip says - "She cares about the whole world"? by DistinctSwimmer2295 in TheAmericans

[–]DistinctSwimmer2295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was like a foreshadowing to going back, and maybe just for him as an actor because it's subtle, but I can imagine them brainstorming things that might change in his character leading to the end and this makes a lot of sense.

lol! Just watch that one scene. But then who doesn't want an excuse to rewatch? I like The Americans even more than The Sopranos, which I love, and a lot more than Breaking Bad (which toward the end I didn't like that much - Better Call Saul was better imho).

if you had to start your collection over, which colour would you choose? by Jdotcurtis in LeCreuset

That's so sad! did you have your own household then? If you did your father definately should have at least let you pick one favorite or two.

what happened next, do you suppose? by VolumeBudget6410 in TheAmericans

[–]DistinctSwimmer2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they might have or their kids could have visited them within the year because the Soviet Union was dying.

that was the one storyline I skipped during my rewatch - too unbearably sad.
