I thought it sounded weird too! But in looking into it a little more, the federal government has supported widespread use of 911 since 1973, so having it established in DC early on doesn't sound far fetched.
The Americans is Delightful.

Another thing I noticed: when Paige is watching tv and Henry is playing his game, it almost looks like she's considering telling him about Philip and Elizabeth. That could definitely lead to some blackmail. "Either let me go to school where I want, or I tell Mr. Beeman."
Cop out ending: Would've been interesting to see those kids adapt to the abundance of a crumbling Soviet Union. Why even go there if it isn't gonna happen...? Doesn't make the next season any less intriguing.
We finished the season last night.
I really hope Paige becomes a KGB badass, is that wrong of me?
I predict now that Henry and his parents are going to have some kind of final confrontation, with Henry all FBI'd and Beeman'd up, maybe discovering the truth.
I wonder how they're going to pull the Oleg/Martha stories together with the Jennings in the final season? Poor Oleg spent this season on the Great Grocery Swindle...
At least Martha got a kid out of it. Poor Martha...
Tuan is a ruthless son-of-a-bitch. And he narced on them for being too soft!
And Kimmy...Jesus I was like "Is that still going on?"
The Russian woman with Stan and his partner...WTF!? When she brought her boyfriend in, I thought for sure they were both dead. That was a HUGE risk, and he's negotiating for more money! I really thought the answer was going to be a bullet for each of them.
Overall this season was good but it seemed a bit meandering at times. I don't mind slow development, but...I don't know, it seemed a very quiet season to me. I guess there's nothing wrong with that.
Looking forward to the final season.

Been catching up, I love s5 so far. Only been able to catch up from half way through it though, via On Demand. So I'll be waiting until it comes out on dvd to catch up the rest of the way.
Was weird with no Oleg scene in the season finale.
Sad... another great show going away. Gonna miss it when it's done.
I knew this was going to be the last. My favorite ever show. Is the final season short?
There's just 10 episodes this season instead of the usual 13.
I can't wait. The Americans has been my favorite show on the air since its premiere and I can't wait to see how it ends. I'm sorry it's almost over, but it's been an incredible and I can only hope it ends on a strong note.
It will be interesting to see how Elizabeth and Philip react to Gorbachev.
Entertainment Weekly said there would be a time-jump to 1987 for the final season, to make the Paige-Elizabeth spying team-up more plausible.
So I guess that Henry must go to that school and they didn't "get out" after all.
I hope it doesn't end with Paige dying on a mission or something, and that is the reckoning that's been coming for them all this time.

The best series on television. I really hope the final season can close out the series on a high note.

Oh, boy!
No kidding.. I'm getting really excited... Just wish this wasn't it for the show.. Really, for me, this has been the best thing on TV... So the Center things Elizabeth is up to something shady.... Covertly training Paige, or is that too obvious... But quite the turn of events, because Phillip is the one who has been on the fence about wanting to leave this whole time...
I can't believe it has taken me this long to finally watch this show. It's amazing. I was hooked after two episodes!. Thanks to Amazon Prime including the series as part of their fee, I'm now in the latter half of season 3. At the current pace, I should be caught up in time for the Season 6 premier. The acting is outstanding and the writing is top notch. I'm trying to stay 'spoiler free' for my viewing 'binge', so I'll be back to discuss when I hit the end of season 5.
I've been meaning to rewatch the whole series before the final season, especially since I haven't seen any of the episodes twice. Got a little distracted by a sudden rewatch of The Wire.
