upp 2.3 spoilers!!!

GOD. The way that Norah's father just doesn't listen to her at all, or give her a chance to speak. He's so quick to offer his own story and relate to her that he doesn't even take the time to understand her perspective.

take all my thoughts AGH

Sure, he noticed that something was wrong with her, but then he jumped to conclusions without giving her a chance to explain. He decides what he thinks she needs to feel better without even hearing what she's feeling or what she wants in the moment, he just latches right onto her playing the flute or fixing her problems the way he once did.

With how her father just vents to her about how stressful it is at the hospital, I can only imagine the pressure she feels not to add to that stress. Her parents indirectly downplay her own wants and needs every time they do this, like raising her isn't as important as their work, like they shouldn't need to worry about her.

It makes me wonder how much of her life her parents have been around for. He seems to feel this obligation to be at the hospital constantly as a doctor, but not to be there for his DAUGHTER as a father? I was literally thinking about this just days ago.

You can tell Bizly and Milo have really discussed this because god the way he plays Norah's dad really just explains a lot about her character. The feeling of being misunderstood by your own parents,, gah

UPP 4.4 Spoilers and Thoughts (and prayers)

I WAS RIGHT GAHHH

I was pretty skeptical when people theorised William would die this episode. I mean, I thought one of the others, sure, but not William. I also was certain there'd be another season because there is so much left of these characters and you can tell Bizly LOVES dming this series, and I think I was right there with the way it ended. That being.. like no resolution at all.

Personally I don't think William is GOING to die until he goes through some kind of character arc (or at least I hope so) because.. really he's not changed at all since 1.1 like the others have. I don't even know if he's noticed that.

The other three have lost family members, been severely injured psychologically and physically, and put themselves in difficult positions countless times over, and many times that's been because of William's decision. (Particularly Norah)

I mean Will saying "god, it's me every time. Okay." I assume is just him not thinking things through, because Isaac's face? "I mean, sometimes it's not." Lui saying "Who's the most unscathed?" They've all seemed to notice except him, even if Norah was quiet about it.

My theory is he'll die after some kind of guilt hits him. Whether one of the others die first, or come close to, or their lives are threatened and he makes a sacrifice? But that guilt really needs to hit him first, because I think he's coming off as a little insensitive even if he still worries for them in the moment.

I would LOVE a scene where Isaac or Lui confronted him. It'll probably come up in a heated moment eventually.

Also really loved the moment between Isaac and Norah. I think I struggled to see their friendship with how distinctly different they are but ahh

"If it's you, then it's me too." Awhhhh I hope we get more of themm

Also so many Norah and William moments aah but that's for another day
