It's episodes like this where all the slow-burn storytelling really pays off, and you can appreciate what a great, well-constructed, clever, subtle show The Americans is. It's a great point to reach midway, too: things we've seen so far come to a head in a way that will surely change how the characters behave moving forward. The end goal isn't obvious, either, which is certainly more than most series can say.

Doctor Who
(1996 TV Movie)
Not as bad as people say it is
26 May 2001
A lot of people, especially the fans, say that the Doctor Who tv movie is terrible. I don't agree.
My friends don't like Dr Who the original TV series. In fact, you could safely say they hate it. But I persuaded them to watch the tv movie and guess what? They loved it!
It isn't the best Dr Who story ever, because it isn't Dr Who as Dr Who was. But to make a new series commercially viable then people have to watch it, and if people will watch this - which wasn't too far off - then this is what we'll get.
If we want Dr Who back then its going to have to be more like this than the original series - except with less kissing. And that isn't such a bad thing.
