"The Americans" is loosely based on a real Russian spy couple.

Negative. The Americans, albeit an amazing series, of which I am a huge supporter, is not based on a real couple, neither loosely, nor tightly. edit: It appears it might have been.

It is, however, based on a lot of true espionage stories and situations which the show's writers, who are ex-CIA agents, have encountered.

It is not compatible with the American idea of meritocracy

First of all, meritocracy is not an American invention. Second, socialism definitely values initiative and effort also.

Hi, Marty, and thanks for doing this AMA!

When people talk about your best solos in Megadeth, they usually say stuff like Tornado, Lucretia, Poison Was the Cure, Symphony.

Is there a solo of yours that you think is kinda underappreciated and deserves more attention?
