Oh Martha, can this get any worse? And you Gaad, what are you going to do? In perhaps one of the series finest episodes, we end up asking these questions and more! This week we are talking all about The Americans Season 4 Episode 7 “Travel Agents”, which aired April 27, 2016. It was written by Tanya Barfield and directed by Dan Attias.
This is Episode 49 and contains the news and our episode breakdown and analysis. To hear our history, tech of yesteryear, and feedback segments stay tuned for Episode 50.
We have some great stories in the Pravda newsroom! We begin with The Hollywood Reporter’s chat with Alison Wright on Martha's fate, followed by A/V Club’s opinion that there’s no escaping the best episode (so far) of The Americans’ 4th season, then Adweek reveals how 'The Americans' Chooses Its ‘80s Ads, and we wind up with TV Series Finale’s supposition that The Americans may already be renewed for Season Five.
Then it’s all about Martha Martha Martha! We watch as she is on the run in DC from both her colleagues at the FBI and her KGB pals. Will she call someone? Will she jump from a bridge? Who finds her first? Why do we call operator Joan “Ginger?” Plus, a respite with the teens. That leads us to the startling revelation of the true nature of the #Clartha relationship and the seeming fate facing Martha. What a gut-punch!
