The Americans: Season 1

1x03 Gregory

Good episode!

I like how the first scene with the racketball game is foreshadowing how the series will go. Stan will keep wearing Phillip down until he makes a mistake - but Phillip will ultimately find a way to stab Stan in the back. Not sure if the foreshadowing continues with Stan having to take a phonecall and leave, But Phillip saying "I'll get a win any way I can" is sort of foreshadowing as well, except it's not true? He's on the path to giving in to his emotions and letting wins slip away...

I thought there was gonna be a gunshot immediately after the wife got in the van, honestly. Still sad though... Can't tell if Phil and Elizabeth knew what was going to happen...? But surely they would... I think it makes sense. They have these emotional struggles but ultimately they can't let themselves be swayed by it. Yet.
