Yeah I just assumed there was Kip stuff happening in the intervening years that we weren’t let in on (as opposed to some people who seemed to think Kip just randomly went to the Stanley cup finals to watch his ex from a few years ago play??)

But my god, episode 5 had SO MANY good parts!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I read something saying they’d been broken up for all that time, and, no, I will not even consider that.

As for good parts, yes! So many! I had forgotten all about the injury and Ilya looking extremely young while worrying on the ice and Shane all high on painkillers and reckless really got me in the feels

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

François said in some interview that there was timeline hinkiness and when he and Robbie shot the scene in ep 5 it was their understanding it was set a few months after ep 3.

That's what I like to hear, Matt!

Heh, I went and looked that up when you mentioned it in Natter, Hec

There's a good interview on GQ's website with Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams about the show: [link]

The part that absolutely cracked me up about Storrie (bold text mine):

Nothing in Hollywood is ever a sure thing—not even a sequel to a movie that earned 11 Oscar nominations. After Folie à Deux’s release, a short write-up on Storrie appeared in Variety. But then, well, nothing. In no particular order, he shot a low-budget thriller in Romania, moved in with his older sister in Los Angeles, came to idolize David Lynch, and took classes with The Groundlings before falling in with the experimental clown scene on the east side of Los Angeles.

Just how close did we come to having a method acting-driven Joker in real life before hockey slash saved the day?

That's a Joker movie I would watch

The experimental clown scene?? That’s a scene? Wow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What an absolutely iconic way to hit rock bottom before making it big in gay Canadian TV.

I think that magical sentence just unlocked my third eye
