But he doesn't know who Bad Bunny is, and Bad Bunny doesn't know who Shane is... So they're both just making small talk with this hot guy they met at the bar while they wait for their drinks. They're enjoying talking to someone who doesn't know their celebrity status. And Shane is getting a little flustered despite being married, because damn if this guy isn't his type, and Bad Bunny is lowkey flirting with him.

And then Ilya shows up and has a heart attack. Alternating between fanboying over Bad Bunny and wanting to fight him. Just standing there frozen with this bonkers expression on his face.

I honestly think this conscious decision throughout is what makes the time jumps completely seamless, because we’re still grounded in the emotional reality of these memories.

It’s what I personally like to call ‘trim the fat’ writing, which so many shows fail to do, with bloated scripts and way too much exposition and audience handholding. JT said ‘fuck that’ and I respect it heavy

Stiles is an interesting character because he comes off as a rowdy teenage boy, but shows a level of responsibility and understanding that is abnormal. The way he obviously obsesses over his father’s health after his mother’s death AND even after experiencing alleged abuse from his father. What he’s been through from before TW starts to the end, shows he’s complex and empathetic in a way that’s relatable to viewers. His lack of physical power also means, with his desire to protect his friends, that he has to look out for them in other ways, including emotionally.
