You said that I was the bravest girl on Earth. And every time you sent me a letter with a new Matt Lib in it, that’s who it was addressed to… “The Bravest Girl on Earth.” -the book of nora

Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell as Philip & Elizabeth Jennings in THE AMERICANS (2013-2018)

Interviewer: By the way, when talking to [Keri Russell], she never once referred to you by your first name. What do you think she called you throughout the interview? Matthew Rhys: Probably “the Welshman.” Interviewer: She did. Is that how she refers to you all day long? Matthew Rhys: It is. I’m surprised if she actually does know my first name. I should start calling her “the American.”

Charlotte Ritter doesn’t have a lot of disposable income, which can be seen in how often she rewears her fabulous clothing. Babylon Berlin costume designer Pierre-Yves Gayraud has incorporated pieces from the first three outings in Season 4, which includes the chevron top Charlotte almost died in. The knit has great button details and leans into Charlotte’s gold palette. It is also what she is wearing when a first kiss with Gereon almost happened.

Alias // The Americans

I need you to understand… I was eighteen when the KGB recruited me. For a woman to be asked to serve her country, it was a future, it meant… empowerment, independence. (Alias, “The Abduction”)

Did you know it’d be dangerous when you joined? I wanted to serve my country. You never answer my questions. It’s always, “I wanna make the world better or… or safer,” but it’s never what happened. Never the whole truth. I grew up in a city called Smolensk. It was almost totally destroyed during the war. World War II. I was only two when it ended, but… growing up there, it was… Everything around me was destroyed. And the people who survived… had done without food and… freezing and fighting. They all worked together and fought back somehow. I guess I always wanted to be like that, no matter what. To fight back. “Dangerous” didn’t matter. (The Americans, “A Roy Rogers in Franconia”)
