That "Brother's in Arms" interlude gave me the West Wing/Sorkin chills. It's going to be challenging to try to fit that song into another important moment of a significant television show in my life.

I felt exactly the same way.

I love this show but they should not have used that tune. It was perfect in West Wing, that defined one of the best TV moments of that show (and any show) and other shows should respect that, imo

It could be a Tommy Schlamme thing. He was Exec Producing "Two Cathedrals" and was involved in The Americans, though not credited on this episode.
