Ok, but can we talk about that one part of The Americans where Paige and Matthew start dating and Stan is thrilled - all 'omg our kids are together and going to get married this is so exciting squeeeee' - meanwhile Philip and Elizabeth are just like 'oh god we are leaving America and never coming back goddammit Paige' because it continues to be the best part of the show

This scene fucking broke me. Seeing the friendship between these two fall apart like this was one of the most tragic parts of the ending to this incredible show

It’s SO funny when tv shows give ugly old men these young, beautiful love interests. Like never is it been clearer that these shows are written by middle aged men than when they do that. Truly hysterical.

Listen, Nina. I'm on your side, okay? But you need to think of me as a wall that's protecting you.

What do you think happened to Paige and Henry?
I have been waiting 5 years to be asked this question.
<cracks knuckles, begins typing furiously>
When Stan goes to Henry’s boarding school to tell him the truth about his family, it’s an embarrassing thunderbolt moment for him. Henry knew that midnight calls and travel agency emergencies and having no extended family were not exactly normal but he feels incredibly naive and stupid for not suspecting more. “Uncle Stan” becomes Henry’s guardian, bringing a stable and reliable adult presence to his life that he was really missing, making it easier for Henry to come to terms with things.
However, Henry is furious when he finds out that Paige knew and kept the truth from him. All the anger he feels for his parents gets directed at her and he can’t get past it and holds that hurt in his heart for a long, long time. He changes his name to Henry Beeman.
Paige doesn’t reach out to Henry. The confrontation with Stan in the parking garage scared the shit out of her and she knows it was a forever goodbye. She spends some time hiding out at Claudia’s safe house, hoping to be contacted. When that doesn’t happen, she decides to get the hell away from DC. Ultimately she wants to make a difference. She wants to feel like her life has a purpose. And she doesn’t want to be alone. So she leaves the identity Paige Jennings behind and seeks out other communist/anti-US protest groups.
This is her life for several chaotic years. It’s rough going. She thinks she knows what she’s doing because of her “training” with Elizabeth and Claudia, and she ends up doing some things that are quite risky and foolish and poorly-executed. Her activities get the attention of the FBI.
She is photographed.
Stan recognizes her.

in which The Americans' last-season finale (30 May 2018) deploys Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms" to such devastating effect that it would be a willful self-own for any show in the next decade to even put itself up for comparison... posting this for no particular reason and with no significance whatsoever, of course, in the timing.
dramatis personae for context under the read-more; spoilers throughout
the Jennings family, deep-undercover Soviet operatives who've been fucking untold amounts of shit up on US soil for decades while posing as a suburban couple and raising their two American-born children; currently racing to flee the country after their main cover was blown, accompanied by the daughter who knows their secret, leaving behind the teenage son who still has no idea, and trying to get in one last phone call to him before they cross the border
Stan Beeman, the FBI agent who lives across the street from them in the DC suburbs, and realized just before he caught them fleeing that his closest family friends were the KGB motherfuckers who'd been murdering his sources for years; has just reluctantly been persuaded to let them go, pretend he saw nothing, and look after their son. partly through personal appeals, but also a reveal that the shit hit the fan because they're trying to thwart their hardline superiors' plot to sabotage arms-control talks & stage a coup against Gorbachev.
Oleg Burov: nepo-baby former hotshot at the Soviet embassy, complicated rivalry/alliance/situationship with Stan, got the fuck out and just wanted to stay in Russia with his wife and newborn kid but was asked by his ex-boss to keep unofficial tabs on the conspirators at the arms-control summit in DC. has just been caught by the FBI trying to smuggle proof of the coup plot back to the USSR, will likely rot in prison for espionage due to lack of official cover, but at this point just wants to ensure that someone - friend or foe - delivers the warning that could preserve both countries' best shot at peace.
and if that seems like a lot of plotty politics for all of them (and excessive context for a guy who's in a single shot of this video). well. check out what they're DOING with this song as everyone marinates in the consequences of how they've navigated conflicting personal, ideological, and institutional loyalties in the final waning years of the Cold War. in the context of the episode it hits like a fucking semi truck - masterclass shit. your fave could never, and if you recognize this as a subtweet let's be real: your fave wasn't even trying.
