been thinking a lot today

how do people feel about the show basically switching up genre? the show is very much set in normal, every day reality. but with the introduction of the movie, the show's genre jumps into the sci-fi realm. do you think that continues into the series going forward? or do you think they won't actually revisit the time travel element, they'll just make references to it through jokes/flashbacks etc? i can't think of many shows right now off the top of my head where the genre switches up later down the line. i have a feeling it'll be something they flashback/callback to but they won't lean that much on the time travel stuff. but it is something they could possibly play with? second thing, how do people feel about them potentially becoming more noticed? i don't mean in terms of fandom spaces, i mean in the realm of the show and how it's filmed. they're already known by some in toronto, but with the movie i have a feeling they're going to get recognised a whole lot more going forward for potential season 4 and beyond (manifesting!). especially since the movie opened the doors to whole new audience. i love scenes of them interacting with the public, the stuff with Ned is an all timer. the show strikes such a good balance between what's real and 'scripted'. i'm a bit apprehensive about scenes with the public not feeling as organic. but on the flip side, even if someone they encountered did recognise them, they'd a) play along and b) they wouldn't have a clue what was happening beforehand, so it'd still feel like a 'real' encounter. the magic lies in the lack of script and keeping everyone's natural reactions. YOU'RE IN, DUDE
