Dr. Spera’s Office
The fact that now knowing more Italian has made me realise naturally that Dottor Spera’s name translates to English as Doctor Hope makes me want to cry.
WHY DID I NOT RECOGNISE THIS BEFORE.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say again. Roberto Spera is an iconic character and all round a solid dude.
Martino, after finding out about her mother and Spera: Tell me, how does my mother, or any person for that matter, go into a parent/teacher conference and come out with a date?
(suggested by @glitterdammerung )
We might not know what happened in Patras with the Contrabbandieri and how the hell they got to know Luchino, but what we do know for sure is that Luchino is a people person and makes friends easily: he immediately hugged Niccolò when he talked about offering them breakfast and he clicked instantaneously with Dr Spera
Just yesterday I thought about how Martino needs to talk to Dr. Spera again. Like I was really wishing for him to make a comeback. I love that guy. Lei è lo psicologo? is one of my fave clips and now we got one with Dr. Spera (I trust one celery dude) AND the contrabbandieri. Perfect. One of those things you didn't think you needed. Skam Italia making me laugh for once.
[I really need another season with the boys. Please make it happen. I always thought it wasn’t quite in rhythm, having three seasons with a girl as main and only one with a boy].
This radio silence was terrible and I'm so happy we saw the boy squad again and being there for each other?? Them together in the bathroom, the boys asking questions... Elia’s “I don’t know shit, so I don’t talk shit”, Giò’s story about looking for clues of his symptoms and finding out it was nothing when he confided in a doctor. And then Luchino suggesting to go to the school’s psychologist. More of this please. Also googling diseases or symptoms or whatever is such a thing of this generation. Like I admit I have done that before and it isn't really helping when you need to figure out something. Either ask your personal Dr. Spera, a doctor of your confidence and like the boys suggested: ask the person in question. NAMACISSI my dudes
No but seriously, I get that Martì is unsure of Nico's feeling. What Maddalena said stuck with him. Sadly. But wouldn't you kind of believe her, too? Someone who has been with Nico and knows about his MI? Martì knows shit so far. So confiding in his friends was a logical step. Knowing Martì and how he closes himself off when he's down, I know it wasn't easy for him though and yeah I'm proud of him. Martino is such a courageous guy in my eyes (when he’s not being a snake. sorry sorry lol) and courage is one of the themes of this season and it really speaks to me.
Dr. Spera calling out Martì, which was mandatory. Thank you, fave celery dude! He corrected Martino. Nico isn’t a crazy person, but is suffering from a personality disorder. Hai capito, Martì? And him saying most people manage to live quite a normal life? Was that in contradiction to Martì saying many people with BPD don’t live to see life beyond the age of 25??? Will this be taken into account of the last clip of episode nine? Please, don’t.
I love that we see the boy squad calling Martì out and yet standing by him. (In general they call each other out and I love it. I hope someone will remind them that it’s not okay to objectify girls though. I know they’re teenangers, but I’m hoping for a scene that’ll bring some resolve). Anyways. We need to talk to people. One perspective isn’t ever enough. And Dr. Spera reminding Martì how important it is to just talk to your friends? Bless. [I’m loving that Skam Italia decided to throw some adults at us. Perfect addition. Mamma Rametta and Dr. Spera have my heart. Hey, what if they met, too? Oh. Oh.]
On another note: The hint about certain people becoming presidents on this planet? My kind of humour. And Dr. Spera’s eagerness to know how to unblock people’s messages on a mobile phone. Brilliant. Tell him, Luca. And tell Martì how stupid he is for valuing Maddalena’s words like he did when he hasn’t even spoken to Nico after what happened in Milano. I know you wanted to see him and I feel you, Martì, but you had to be called out.
So, Martì really blocked Nico's number yeah? Not cool. I'd probably would have done the same though. Or something similiar, like just not answer at all. I, too, close myself off. I understand. This makes everything even more dramatic though and I hate it. Perhaps not really really hate, cause I'm a sucker for angst and the symbolism and metaphors in this season are killing me. (BTW, Martì struggling with the tab in the bathrom? Come on. And Giò telling him to use the one that’s working? Guiding him there??? Also Martì landed on his ass again lmao but also give this boy a break will you). It's so terrible good. Yes. Give me all the pain. I like to suffer.
AND Giò’s quiet Ma quando? broke my tiny heart, like Martì did you really not tell your best friend and the contrabbandieri that you consulted Dr. Spera before? Oh Martì.
So yeah, how's Nico doing btw? Hoping for Martì to answer his messages? (Did he send more after the giraffe? Yes? How many more?) Does he think Martì hates him now? Because of his MI and what it made him do?
Martì smiled a bit in the video Giovanni posted. Just a tiny little bit. He's with his friends. He's hurting, yet he's being taking care of. Good. Cover him in blankets. Wrap him up real good and hug him tight.
Whom can Nico confide in though? As of right now? He's basically all alone, isn’t he?
Oh, shit.
Dr. Spera, not the hero we need but the one we deserve 🙌
