There are downsides, believe me. But the one very big positive is that life doesn't have to stop after you die.

Ok I am going to criticize the writing of Heated Rivalry the show. Look away if you do not want to read about it

I've been thinking about how there's a weird thing that happens narratively with how episode 1 and 2 are rewritten. It all goes back to the fucking two year badgering for sex. I have some points

a) Sorry is this hot for people? The idea of a guy badgering me for sex for two years is a fucking nightmare. What's hot is meeting someone and fucking them sorry is that vanilla of me

b) This sequence dramatically changes the emotional escalation of their relationship. Two years waiting -> first time hookup -> immediate ghosting -> asshole in Sochi -> asshole in Vegas (like what is Shane DOING. If I was Rose and I heard this story I would put a fucking hit out on Ilya)

By end of episode 2 is Vegas Ilya's been an ass to Shane (the post first time ghosting oh my goooood) for two episodes straight and Shane seems pretty fucked up over it, tbh! The show versions are very divergent at this point. Then we switch topics to Skip. Then in episode 4 suddenly Shane and Ilya are fuckbuddies and back on track to their book sharacterizations and they mostly stay there?

It's weird! Idk I think it's weird. I don't really get how Shane went from crying in an elevator to being Ilya's fuckbuddy unless he has the worst self esteem of all time, which is I guess why the fandom woobifies him SO hard

[thanku4pasta]

The ending of episodes 1 & 2 making no damn sense to the start of episodes 2 & 4 is my biggest surface level issue with the show. Why are we even bothering to create tension on the roof with Shane aggressively pulling away when it leads right into episode 2 flirtatious texting montage. “Still mad about Vegas?” hehe lol. For what? Sure, he's terrified of getting caught but there's no arc, we just move forward. From devastation to flirty. Then Shane spends 2 years getting badgered to bone and we get one glimpse that he wants it. I am to assume him responding at all is him wanting it. The show relies on the fact that you know these things are going to happen without making the case why or how they should. Shane is SAD at the end of episode 2 and once again Ilya is upset for reasons Shane can't understand but it's fine because we skip right to the consistent hookup montage. I get Jacob saying it's a collection of their memories and that's lovely framing but these emotional moments being immediately disregarded isn't a payoff.

Can I be real that I think that the “it’s their memories” thing is bullshit? I think Tierney has realized that the escalation in S1 makes zero sense and is just saying stuff. If that was actually the intent going in the whole thing would feel more dream like and fairytale from the start, and also as you say it’s not like that excuses the total lack of emotional payoff for the stakes raised in the first two episodes.

The real test here is that you could just start the story in episode 4 and it changes nothing. You don’t need to know anything about the early years, about Vegas, about the snowstorm, for the last three eps to make sense. That’s not good! That’s bad!

I don’t know it’s extremely confusing to me. Why change so much and then do nothing with it? Like in the book the characters change pretty significantly over the course of the show and their early decisions (Shane not letting Ilya come to his place) have ripples that impact the rest of the story.
