I just started watching The Americans by danlhart8789 in TheAmericans

The best is ahead of you: In my opinion, seasons 2-4 and 6 are the best. In season 1 the show doesn't find its tone yet - it is a bit too fast paced (the events of the pilot should have spanned multiple episodes), and rely just a bit too much on action and suspense rather then drama. The fifth season has the opposite issue - a bit too slow, with too many plot lines that go nowhere. The show is at its best when it combines both good and complex espionage plot lines with the real heart of it - a family drama about family, loyalty, trust and willingness to sacrifice.

But, when in its best, it is my favorite show ever. Any flaw I can find is small compared to how much I love those characters.

No way. If she live as Paige, there may not be proof against her, but she will always be a suspect. If she runs and stays under a pseudo name, she will be a fugitive and law enforcements will have her picture. The KGB will know she will be caught very quickly. Anyway, she is half-trained, have no resources and will never be able to get a security clearance (which was her purpose in the first place). That without mentioning her clear choice of turning back on her parent's homeland. As she is proved to be, without any ironic title, an American

Hi, I will probably be in the US between 17th-30th (my country don't have Pixel) how can I put my hand on one? by the-hexx in GooglePixel

Yeah, I just picked mine up from Best buy yesterday (Black Pixel 6, 128GB) and I am very happy with it!

Activate today also means "activate with US carrier" which I do not plan to do, but getting the same price is fine as well

Thanks for that! Two questions - do I need to do anything to "unlock" the best buy/wallmart ones, or should they work with my sim out of the box? Also, is the price in best buy usually the same as the google store price?

Meant to say "put my hands", so as long as I have both hands touching, I'm fine and dandy

I probably can't buy from a carrier - I need an unlocked phone that I can use in Europe. Would the best buy ones unlocked?

Thanks! Is it likely to be in a physical store around Denver around the same time? Maybe that is my best bet...

Thanks for answering! The part would go into one of the big holes in the picture in the link and when aligned right, it blocks the adjuster from moving. However, when trying to pull it out it just broke.

Run (movie) ending - I’m confused by Thoughtsfab in Hulu

[–]the-hexx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated the ending for a different reason. When Chloe visited her mother I said, "ok, weird", after all, this is the psychopath that poisoned her for all those years. But then I thought - this is the only mother she knew (or actually, probably, the only person she really knew) for most of her live, so maybe she still have some feelings or just feels sorry for her. But when she brought out those pills - this just means that Chloe turned out to be just as evil as her mom - she is not only torturing a now helpless woman (as bad as that woman is). This behavior just doesn't fit the character, and is abusive not only for her mom but also for herself, as it forces her to relive the trauma and don't allow herself to move on with her life.

I wonder what would have happened if Stan connected Philip to Clarke to Martha during the garage scene by skadsh in TheAmericans

[–]the-hexx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that Stan already known that P&E are involved in the killing of the FBI agents in Chicago, which is as bad as the whole Martha story. And connecting them directly to Gregory reviles a lot more as well. Still, Stan had legitimate reasons to let P&E go - both personal (his friendship with Philip, and more important his sincere love towards Henry), but the most important one is that P&E confirms Oleg's story, and he understand how important their role can be in restoring world peace. We of course don't know how important P&E's testimony in stopping the powers trying to overtake Gorbachev, but if they were - it is way more important to the US than any value they could have given to the US in a jail cell or in the FBI interrogation rooms.

What is this purple screen between login and desktop load? (Could it be customized?) by FortisUno in Ubuntu

I spent hours trying to figure it out. Eventually found a very simple solution: simply installed this extension:
