Dylan's team put out that statement not Dylan himself because again these actors are signing non-disclosure agreements not to leak information exactly like this and yes whether you like it or not there are going to be necessary statements made to clean up the situation when publications like Deadline, Entertainment Weekly, and Variety are picking it up

And this isn't because the more queer representation the better (that's obviously important but that's not the point I'm trying to make) but because it's literally impossible to adapt the long game without given some screen time to Ryan, Fabian, Troy and Harris.

We book readers have been saying that HR is the perfect adaptation for months, that the changes Jacob did were improvements and the majority of people tend to agree with us. So take our words this time too and believe us when we say that using the other couples and building their stories is only for the better too.

There's a lot of things to say about Jacob but whis writing is as close as perfect as someone could get

Like Scott is important because he was the first but Troy and Harris are actually friends with Ilya, they're integral to his story and consequently Shane's story.

Ryan and Fabian are not as close BUT they're crucial and for the people who haven't read though guy Ryan is important not only to establish what types of characters are Wyatt and Troy and how different their dynamics are in Toronto Vs Ottawa but he's also the reason we get to see the first signals of Ilya and his mental state.

Like the reason skip got a whole episode is because they couldn't tell their story at the same time as hollanov because there's literally no connection or relationship besides the obvious BUT you actually need Ryan, Fabian, Troy and Harris to tell Hollanov's story.

Imagine they going on a double date with Ryan and Fabian with no context whatsoever 🤷‍♀️

Jacob expanding Shane's story beyond what we see is TLG is one of the few things we do know about the season but whatever

I'm not here to convince anyone to watch the show but putting your foot down and being certain about what will happen is pointless when we're all probably going to be proven wrong about whatever theories we have when the show actually airs and for all his faults I don't have an issue with Jacob's writing so I'm not going to worry about something that hasn't happened yet

anon what rock are you living under and can I join you there

Jacob has been pretty adamant that there's only 6 episodes but Dylan Walsh (and Francois to a lesser extent) leaked that they're filming 12 episodes

again I'm on the rooftop with a megaphone saying that a standalone episode for Troy and Harris makes no sense, their storyline happens alongside hollanov's in TLG with overlapping scenes in both books so why would it make sense to anyone for them to have a standalone episode

here is a timeline graph from the wiki because I haven't read TG or CG
