The Americans: Arpanet (2.07)
#why is this show so dark and so low res jesus christ#these look SO authentically eighties and i wish that was a good thing#anywho bringing you the underrated part of the ridiculous polygraph scene to the very best of my poor giffing abilities#choices were made for oleg that season#like the dumb smile he gets on his face when he gets one of his sappy lines in. it's why he felt so PAINFULLY young to me#and nina's actual polygraph scene is so good. when she tells stan she knows about what he did?? incredible#there were so many more little glances. but i had to pick these ones the stan vs oleg of it all is too funny to miss#also it's so funny how the whole episode the script can't quite decide if nina and oleg are already a thing or not#like it makes sense that they are and there *might* be signs as early as the initial talk with arkady#but then when they're alone he addresses her with formal pronouns?? and like yeah he's a spy and they're trying to be subtle#but the man is NOT subtle#he got fully in her face right in front of the polygraph dude's salad#nina sergeyevna krilova#oleg igorevich burov#stan beeman#the americans#theamericansedit#nina x oleg#my gifs
