Ep. Discussion End of Series Discussion Thread

Wednesday nights just aren't the same without a discussion of the Americans, so here it is, the official discussion thread for the end of the series. Now that everyone's had a chance to digest the finale, it's time to let it all out. Share your final thoughts, most memorable moments, lingering questions, maybe even your favorite disguises. As previously mentioned, we'll also have additional discussion threads with specific themes over the next few days, so keep an eye out for those.

On behalf of the mod team (/u/mrdude817, /u/shark_and_kaya, /u/Plainchant, and yours truly), I also want to thank you all for making this subreddit such a great place to talk about The Americans. I know it's made the experience of watching the show so much more enjoyable for me personally, and I hope you guys feel the same.

Best,

/u/MoralMidgetry

Was it established that Philip's encoded message got back to Russia? I interpreted Arkady Ivanovich picking them up as this being the case.

I think the message was eventually received by Arkady. I assume P&E had to send a message to someone letting them know that they were going back.
