THIS SHOW DOESN'T EXPECT VIEWERS TO BE DUMB. its the way it just. assumes that we are watching the show. so it will do things like have ilya look at a man at the bar and while at first you think ilya is looking at someone as a potential hookup (which he is) they then let it play across his face that he recognizes that man as a famous actor who is currently filming with rose landry which can only mean. ah. fuckkkkkkkk. there's shane.
and then they do it again! shane's absolute deer in the headlights look at seeing one of ilya's teammates on the dance floor, a man we have heard speak maybe three times. but we know what seeing him means to shane and why shane then immediately starts looking for ilya right back.
like. when was the last time a show let this happen in silence without adding in dialogue to explain who these background characters are and their significance to the current scene. FUCKING THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING THAT WE'RE WATCHING THIS SHOW.
