The Americans- What the frick, Tuan is a monster! On the one hand, I feel sorry for him because its clear that him asking Philip and Elizabeth to "be around more" is less about maintaining a plausible cover and more that he's lonely and is starting to think of them as his real parents. But on the other, coming up with a plan to get in with the cool kids and bully the shit out of Pasha to make him so depressed he'll make his mom move back to Russia (as she apparently has started having an affair with one of her CIA students, who's slated to become head of the field office in Russia, and the Centre wants to use that), is freaking cold as hell.
But ha, on Deidre dumping Phillip's ass. Elizabeth was all, "Were you really trying? Are you sure you're not self sabotaging because of EST?" Its like, c'mon, they have to know they can't have a 100% success rate. (And as Phillip says, they're not all as hot as Elizabeth!)
Although its even more hilarious that the way he hooks Deidre back is to leave a message on her answering machine about how he's married, and she can't pick up the phone fast enough!
Agents of SHIELD- Interesting, the show is trying to go for nurture over nature. So, just live we see Fitz is evil because of his father's influences, this version of Ward is good because he was recruited by Victoria Hand instead of Bill Paxton.
Its also easy to forget that their bodies are vulnerable in the real world while they're in the framework. Apparently its only Aida's directives to be unable to harm them (unless they're a direct threat to the framework, so its open season on Daisy and Jemma), but as soon as she builds herself a human body, she'll be free of her programming restraints, and then so will the Russian, and he can kill the helpless Coulson.
Which, given Radcliffe is still alive in the Framework after Aida killed him (as was Agnes), would they know their body died? They should still be able to exist, like Radcliffe does. Would they even feel it?
Prison Break- I had a slight suspicion, but I didn't think it would actually be true. So Kellerman gets killed by those two thugs, but T-Bag is able to follow them to meet with their boss... Jacob! Like I said, I was wondering if he was a secret bad guy, just so Sara could go back to Michael without any guilt. But I figured, that would be too much. And Mark Feuerstein seems like too friendly a guy to play evil. But nope, I guess this was all an evil plan all along?
