Â I'm not through 8 episodes, and I can't find any sympathy for Hannah. She's a dramatic little idiot who, through 8 episodes, has only had 1 real complaint so far that I imagine could be scarring. And Clay is a little s***head too for the stuff he has done to "get back" at these people. Â I don't find a single character to be likeable so far. The show is decent, just saying I roll my eyes at most of Hannah's bulls*** reasons why she is choosing to ruin other people's lives because of her cowardice.

BigSqwert Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Is it jut me or has The Americans really slowed down this season? I know it's generally a slow burn each season but there doesn't seem to be as much tension as I'm used to seeing. That being said, still enjoying it.

Dude broke during every sketch he ever appeared in (same for Horacio Sans' b**** ass) and was arguably the worst Weekend Update host in the show's history -- even sitting next to Tina Fey couldn't save him -- so they gave him the f***ing Tonight Show, fitting successor to Leno.

I know it's generally a slow burn each season but there doesn't seem to be as much tension as I'm used to seeing. That being said, still enjoying it.   I think it's still it's usual slow burn, maybe not as much violence as seasons past but I think Phillip/Elizabeth are both dealing with internal personal struggles which in time will boil over and speed the pace up a bit. Things are being set into motion that could make everything get pretty crazy soon.  -Gabe leaving -If Phillip finds out that they kept Mischa from him -Elizabeth's guilt over Young He -Paige entering the fold -Henry/Stan's relationship  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many shows have to hit you over the head with a hint or reveeal, but not Gilligan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 What I love about BCS is that even though the Breaking Bad universe has had its share of scumbags/lowlifes/absolutely terrible people that have done things way worse than Chuck has, none of them have left as much of a visceral negative impression on me as he does.

Yeah, he absolutely did. Unless I missed him earlier, I assume he saw him on camera from his office. Jimmy was very conspicuous checking everyone and everything out. Hell, they even made Mike, who is a pro. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah, that was shot so well. Funny how the part that is OUT of focus is the part the audience was focusing on. It was 30 seconds of Odenkirk making weird faces and yet no one would notice. Â One *small* gripe I did have though is that Saul said he had no connection to Gus at all in Breaking Bad, said he "knows a guy who knows a guy....who knows another guy". So when Saul finally became aware of Gus in Breaking Bad, he should have remembered that he was the manager who helped him find his watch in the trash. Maybe he just forgot I guess. I just hope the Mike/Gus relationship stays unknown to Saul, otherwise the backstory won't match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
