Do you think Alec was overthinking the whole job offer vs staying with Magnus and that's why he didn't noticed slash actually believed Magnus wasn't that sad not being the HW anymore? Also is it just me or the editing cut some breathing time in malec's conversations? Like some half seconds or so...
I don’t really agree that Alec didn’t notice that Magnus was sad about his position. There’s a beat after Magnus walks away from the drinks cart where Alec is clearly skeptical, but without calling Magnus a liar, what’s he going to say? “Yeah, babe, that was all bullshit, let me tell you how you feel.”
Once he’d spoken to Catarina, however, Alec at least had a basis for starting to challenge Magnus’s claim of being pleased other than Alec’s bullshit detector pinging.
I’m not entirely sure about your last question–are you saying the editing allowed for some more breathing time? Because I agree, it did, and this was a thing they told us was going to happen around…NYCC or so? That the scenes this season were going to be longer, not so much jumping around from scene to scene.
Frankly, it may have been the most exciting news to come out of NYCC after Javi’s casting.
