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.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

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!

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

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

The timeline weirdness in the Scott/Kip story is bugging me -- what were they doing for those three years? -- but other than that, I thought that the last two episodes in particular were really well done, after already enjoying the beginning of the season.
I'm glad they got renewed for a second season, and one interview mentioned the possibility of a third, but I'm curious how they'll split up the remaining books if a third season is still uncertain. Also, I kind of hated how things got resolved in The Long Game, but I'll reserve judgment on the show version until I see it -- I thought the small changes between the book and the show in this season were good choices that added to the story. (Other than the Scott/Kip timeline thing.)

If they're confident about having 3 seasons total, I could see splitting up TLG into 12 episodes and giving some of that time to the stories in the other books. (And by the other books I mostly mean Role Model.)
But only if they are VERY confident of getting renewed, because the fandom would not survive if we ended S2 on a plane incident cliffhanger.
