Anyone watch? Thoughts on the season premiere? Predictions for how it all ends?

Re: The Americans
I am re-watching the series now. I love this show. Just started Season 5. Can't wait to see the last season. I will be sad to see it go.

So - Stan is finally starting to catch on. I’m sure he feels stupid that they were under his nose the whole time. He’ll feel even dumber if it turns out his gf is a spy, too!!
And WTF was up with killing the lady with a dirty paintbrush? If she was trying to do something nice, just smother her with a pillow! And why take the painting just to burn it? I guess maybe bc it’s showing how she’s going back and forth with her loyalty.
Poor Paige! She’s so gung ho on being a spy that she doesn’t even know what she’s doing it for. It’s not like she was raised pro-Russian. Seems like a huge decision for something she knows nothing about.

She couldn’t keep the painting. If it were found, she would be linked back to Erica (the woman she killed). I think she struggled with burning it because she genuinely did like Erica.
I can’t stand Paige. She wasn’t raised pro-Russian at all. She didn’t even know she was Russian until her parents told her they were spies. She’s a follower, first pastor Tim and now this.
Any predictions for how it ends? I don’t see how they all survive. DH has a theory that I think may be true. Obviously Stan finds out, I wonder if he’ll have the opportunity to confront them or if they’ll be gone or dead first. I’m interested in what happens to Oleg, he’s the only one I have hope for (prob cause I adore him).
I have never been this absorbed in a tv show. I hardly even watch tv!

I get that she couldn't keep the painting, but she shouldn't have taken it in the first place.
I'm glad that she's finally starting to think for herself. She's always been smart but too much of a follower. I thought it was going to break up her marriage when he said he was giving the information to someone else, but I'm glad that she started asking her own questions.
I have no idea how it's going to end! On one hand, I think they'll die, but I can't imagine them going back to Russia since they'd be so unhappy there. At least if they did, he could see Martha again.

Did you watch the last episode? I don’t want to give anything away! They have a lot to tie up.
I’m so glad someone else watches! I hardly know anyone IRL who watches and it drives me nuts!

I'm going to miss this show so much. I think I'm an episode or 2 behind, but I have a bad feeling that they (or at least Elizabeth) will not survive in the end. I'm hoping they'll get away before they get caught, but now it seems Stan is on to them.

Dh and I were talking and wondering if they will get caught like what happened in real life (show is loosely based on fact). But how they have portrayed them during the whole show I don’t know if they’d allow themselves to be caught.

Re: The Americans
I can't believe this is the last week. I have no idea how its will end. I hope Oleg gets to go home. I love him. I wish they would have tied up the Martha end. They didn't show her at all this season.

I feel like they did their part with Martha when Gabriel made arrangements for her to adopt a child in Russia. I think that was supposed to be her not happy but slightly less crappy ending.
I can’t believe Oleg is even alive. And it doesn’t look like he’ll die. I think we all thought he’d get killed a long time ago and maybe he’s the only one who makes it in the end?

Heartbreaking but perfect. Elizabeth got what she always wanted but the price she had to pay was most definitely not worth it.

I don't want to spoil anything but I love that it didn't end the way I was afraid it would. In many ways it was even more heartbreaking this way. The one true hero is the one with the greatest consequence, too. Great ending although I still want to know about Renee...

I agree, I want to know about Renee too.

I don't mind that it wasn't all wrapped up nicely. We don't know what's going to happen to Paige (will she be put in jail b/c she knows?), how will they do being back in Russia - where it's presumably a harder life, etc?
I'm glad that Phillip told Stan about Renee. It showed that he really cared for the friendship.

I agree about Renee. We don’t really know what will happen to any of them. Presumably, Stan will look after Henry. I didn’t get the sense that Paige would go to jail. The only one who knows she knows is Stan and he’s not going to turn her in.

Omg so as Philip and Elizabeth were telling Stan about Gorbachev I was like “Oleg wasn’t lying! Do something Stan! Do something!”

Re: The Americans
That was so so sad when they called Henry 
I like how they left a possibility for a spin off in the future, though I don't think that's their plan, but I can be hopeful! When Paige went back to the apartment where they met with Claudia it made me wonder what she would end up doing....
I will miss this show a lot. Renee seemed off from the beginning - wasn't she all flirty with Stan out of no where while wearing her little aerobics outfits? Right when he wa getting divorced. Seemed suspicious.
My heart broke for Philip and Elizabeth having to leave their kids behind. But it's better than them dying. At least we can hope that may be in the future they will see or at least be in contact with them again.
