And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl. Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask: what is the cost of lies?

#i heard they took creative license with the minister of coal who doesn't look quite as helpless as he did in the show #but man was it cathartic to watch a scene where one of the suits gets humbled like this #also: thought this was ben mendelsohn at first and had to google to verify lmao #chernobyl #chernobyl hbo #johan renck #craig mazin #michael colgan #chernobylrewatch #mygifs #bbqueue

A nuclear plant in Sweden has detected radiation and identified it as a byproduct of our fuel. The Americans took satellite photos. The reactor building, the smoke, the fire. The whole world knows. The wind has been blowing toward Germany. They're not letting children play outside... in Frankfurt.

#the way the camera pans to the silent menace of smoke #and the thrum of the music in the bg #i was like: yeah this is a horror series #boris had two crises back to back in this scene #no wonder he was down for the count for the rest of the events in the episode #boris: oh. so this job is going to kill me. #also boris 2mins later: oh. the protocols made by a system i trusted would kill everyone else the same way too. #please comrades one crisis at a time #chernobyl #chernobyl hbo #jared harris #stellan skarsgard #stellan skarsgård #johan renck #craig mazin #mygifs #chernobylrewatch #bbqueue

#one of my faves because this line just brings it home to valery that it's not enough to do his duty #that it was never just about cleaning up in the fall out #but about the far larger impact - this debt to truth and this debt to the future #he's being compelled to be even more selfless than he was prepared to be #and yet #AND!!

#had to include valery's reaction here because he doesn't look schooled at all #he looks more surprised and disappointed as though he'd completely forgotten that boris was one of Them #as though he'd already started to think of them as a team #the showrunner says that it probably felt like that - the two of them in this foxhole together #while gorbachev and the rest of the higher ups are watching from high above in the kremlin #valery: 'oh yeah we're from two different sides of this problem' #meanwhile boris just let him run his mouth recklessly like that and his character needed the shame that results from being confronted #i thought at first that he was speaking out of pride but later on in the episode he talks about how the KGB has eyes and ears everywhere #boris: 'watch your tone. i'm not the enemy here.' #but also boris: 'watch your tone. you're going to get yourself killed.' #i think this is the last time boris flexes on valery come to think of it #(huh these gifs turned out sharper than i thought they would) #chernobyl hbo #chernobyl #jared harris #stellan skarsgard #stellan skarsgård #chernobylrewatch #johan renck #craig mazin #mygifs #bbqueue

#the dog in this scene gets me everytime and i couldn't gif it because it's sO mUCH #i didn't even notice it was boris who turned away first until i read it in the script #when boris and valery each had a moment of weakness - the other one always stepped in to muster through it #and that just!! makes me so!! #so!!!! #(clutches chest) #valery couldn't face the divers emerging from their mission #boris couldn't face the wide scale impact of his inaction brought upon by his utter trust in flawed protocols #watching how characters deal with their vulnerability can be something so personal #chernobyl hbo #chernobyl #chernobylrewatch #jared harris #stellan skarsgård #stellan skarsgard #mygifs #bbqueue

#you just KNOW boris is speaking from personal experience #as someone who had to dispense of his own moral conviction to get into a position of power #it's both 'this is a choice i made before - trust me' #and somehow 'this is a choice i made before - there's nothing wrong with it. i did the right thing didn't i.' #like he needed valery to take his suggestion over ulana's and for ulana to agree with him as though he's looking for absolution #the way he says 'it leaves you' like it's a truth he'd kept hidden and unspoken for years #and had to force the words out of where he'd locked it firmly away in all that time #the character arcs in this show man #chernobyl hbo #chernobyl #chernobylrewatch #stellan skarsgard #stellan skarsgård #johan renck #craig mazin #mygifs #the low lighting is so hard to edit in this gif holy crap #bbqueue
