Twitter and Tumblr just aren't enough to contain my thoughts and I don't have Photoshop to work on them that way and I don't have time to write fiction, so META AT LJ IT IS.
So: The Americans.
It is not Jack Bristow and Irina Derevko being married badasses, unfortunately, but if anyone wants to make that spinoff (as well as the Sark and Rachel one, David Anders and Rachel Nichols keep saying they are really totally up for it, please somebody hire them for it, really they want it to happen) please go do so, because, JACK AND IRINA. Anyway, that's beside the point.
It's a suburban couple with two kids living in northern Virginia and doing all the things that suburban families with yards and Oldsmobiles in the early 1980s do, which is the entire point, since Elizabeth from Chicago and her husband Phillip are just as real as their practiced American accents. They're Soviet sleeper agents during the Cold War, with an emphasis on how much "sleeping" they aren't doing and how warm this Cold War really is.
( Herein I analyze the shit out of a single episode of a show because omg there is so much to analyze. )
And after writing all that, I had even more thoughts about Phillip learning about sex and women and fast cars.
