I love that they showed us Martha in this episode. Even though it's a sad situation, at least we know she's alive.

Keri Russell is in The Diplomat, very strong first season, second one is on its way. It's helmed by a former crewchief from The West Wing, and it definitely has a lot of that DNA, although as well as the overt political stuff it's got hefty dose of espionage in there as well (Russell's character is former CIA, another main character is the CIA's London Chief Of Station). Recommended!

Remember how Matthew was in a terrible teenage rock band... > Flaherty is from Glen Rock, New Jersey, where he attended Glen Rock High School.[7] He is the youngest of four siblings. He spends his free time skateboarding, playing guitar, writing songs, and singing in his band, MF Killer Starfish.[3] < 🤩

Did/could this have happened in the 80's? Found this article written the day after this episode aired and as such - is spoiler free for the episodes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2017/03/22/the-insect-warfare-on-the-americans-isnt-all-that-outlandish/ Maybe the US didn't do it BECAUSE of Phillip and Elizabeth? As for P/E killing people - if you want to save the world, gotta break a few eggs sometimes. :) Originally airing on March 21, 2017, 'The Midges' is Episode 3 of Season 5 of The Americans. It is the 55th episode overall and has an IMDB rating of 7.9, placing it as the #7 ranked episode of this season and #41 out of all the episodes shown so far. #FreeMartha

That's weird - I didn't get a paywall on my PC... Summarizing - The U.S. was indeed accused of entomological warfare during the Cold War — but not by Russia. “There were a number of accusations made by the Cubans that we had used insects to spread dengue fever and a whole bunch of crop pests,” Lockwood said. But the accusations, which were mainly lobbed during the 1960s every time Cuba had an issue with its crops, were never proved. North Korea and China also accused the U.S. of spreading germs using flies and mosquitoes during the Korean conflict, but no documents ever turned up to support the claim. And decades later, in 1996, Russia filed charges on Cuba’s behalf — Cuba wasn’t a signatory to the Biological Weapons Convention, which is why Russia got involved — and a committee investigated. But it couldn’t confirm nor deny the charges. The truth is entomological warfare is pretty difficult to prove."
