Pit Babe 2 - Episode 2

Alan and Jeff remain my favourite pairing. Their sweet moments are brilliant but I have a feeling that the angst Pon and Sailub hinted at in the promotion for the series, is fast coming upon us. Just give me my Alan and Jeff happy ending, alright?

Pon did a fantastic job portraying Jeff’s pain following his vision. His facial expressions and body language, particularly the way he held his right arm and his tone of voice were spot on!

Garfield and Pon might be fighting it out for best performance. Garfield’s facial expressions when rejecting Tony and when he was staring straight down the barrel of a gun were amazing!

Kenta has grown in the year that’s past. He’s no longing the pathetic, mistreated wee boy that would do everything Tony demanded in the hopes of finally getting Tony’s love. He gets that Tony never did and never will love him, he stood up to him when he stabbed him last year, a cathartic moment for him, and knows that despite Tony still being alive, he only wants Kenta around for manipulating and bullying him to do his bidding. He probably also knows that eventually, Tony would try to kill him, either when something goes wrong or once his plan has worked, because there is no way an asshole like Tony is ever going to let someone who tried to kill him live.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how Kenta’s storyline plays out. And not just his romance with Kim!

These are the North and Sonic moments I need!

I’m trying to decide if Sonic is being awkward and avoiding North because he knows how he feels but doesn’t want to act on it because he plans to go back to France for school or if he’s avoiding him because, despite his feelings for North, he’s seeing someone in France and doesn’t want to hurt North. The phone call makes me think there’s a boyfriend but I really wouldn’t be surprised if it was something else!

While I found it hard to accept Charlie as the feral alpha, there was definitely something hot about the top-ripping moment! 🥵

Why are we getting moments of Babe being an asshole to Charlie? It’s very reminiscent of their earlier moments in series 1 before Babe fell head over heels for Charlie, and to be honest, really doesn’t fit with the loved up version of Babe we usually get. Is this linked to his trauma over Way’s death?

They really are trying to get us to believe that Cris is Way but I don’t think he is. Or perhaps, I’m hoping we won’t get 2 miraculous comebacks from the dead in one series.

I really like Willy as a villain. Milk is doing a good job as Willy and hopefully Change 2561’s track record of good villains (the proper kind you love to hate) continues through to the conclusion of Willy’s storyline.

Willy has a special power, right? Perhaps something to do with manipulation? If I’m right with the power thing, I think he’s one of Tony’s test subjects, and I’m leaning to Tony’s experimentation strengthen his power rather than it being completely new.

Dean is definitely working for Tony and will betray the group again but I don’t believe he’s the person Tony was talking about destroying X-Hunter. Dean is just too scared, pathetic and easy to manipulative to be the big source of trouble with X-Hunter.

Poor Alan’s family loyalty is going to hurt them again. 🥺

I think the traitor is Liu, the researcher. What was the need to show Charlie the picture of Babe and Willy in the bar unless you have an ulterior motive such as causing friction between Charlie and Babe? It would also fit with Tony’s experimentations as he has someone who can help him make a drug/treatment to let people gain powers but also have someone on the inside of Pete’s lab to screw up their progress to nullify people’s skills.

Pit Babe - Episode 3

One of these days, I’ll actually post this straight after I’ve watched the show rather than saving it to my drafts to read over when I’m not struggling to stay awake and then forgetting about it for days! 😂

I know Alan and Jeff’s angsty storyline was about to start but I didn’t expect to see Alan giving Jeff the cold shoulder for the whole episode. I need to keep repeating to myself “Alan and Jeff happy ending” to make sure I’m manifesting it.

Jeff is young and new to relationships, he’s also grown up in a way that makes it hard to be open and trusting, and he’s also used to people not caring about him for anything other than his powers. It’s understandable that when something happens, Jeff reverts back to old habits and hopefully, this wobble in their relationship is the catalyst for Jeff maturing and trusting Alan 100%.

Alan, however, needs to remember Jeff’s upbringing and lack of knowledge of relationships and show him how they should be communicating. Giving Jeff the cold shoulder isn’t the right way to go about it, no matter how hurt he is, if he wants them to get to the point that they are totally honest with each other every time. He needs to give Jeff the chance to make amends, to repair their relationship by talking - he doesn’t need to forgive him straight away but at least show Jeff that the only way forward for them is 100% communication.

I just hope that they’ve started to mend things before Jeff’s next vision. I don’t want Jeff being hurt by what he sees to be the catalyst for them to move on together. I want it to be because they’ve started talking to each other. Jeff being hurt can cement the deal to them being okay with each other because until they’ve started talking, they won’t learn anything about navigating their relationship together if all is forgiven because one of them gets hurt.

Babe gets hurt. Babe can’t drive. Babe says he’s racing. Alan doesn’t stop him. Babe races. Feels like we’ve seen this before. 🧐

Kenta and Kim as “roommates” explains how these two are going to fall for each other. It’s going to be so fun to watch the tension build between them!

So looks like Willy’s power is speed. If he’s one of Tony’s test subjects, I’m assuming his power has been boosted enough to channel it through his car and other objects as long as he’s touching it.

Why does it feel too easy to have the drug to strip powers work by episode 3? Is this drug going to be the reason Charlie loses his memories rather than be the answer to their prayers?

The North and Sonic crumbs with the lucky pin was not enough! I need more of these two! They should have been canon in the first series and now they’re making us wait and going the slow burn route for 2 characters that we already know are so in love with each other - it’s so obvious that the only people who don’t know are North and Sonic!

Looks like we’re about to get the start of the messiness that is the Pete and Cris relationship. It’s going to be hot but really messy! Pete loves Way and if Cris really isn’t Way (and I hope he isn’t!), then he’s going to end up hurting the two of them (or at least until we get the inevitable falling in love moment).

Pit Babe 2 - Episode 1

The boys are back! This ended up being longer than I intended! 😂

I’m glad that they’re showing that Babe is still affected by Way’s death, even after a year on. They could quite easily have used the year time jump to ignore it and have it appear like Babe has processed it all but they haven’t, which is a good thing. Babe went through an extremely traumatic series of events and it makes sense that he’s still dealing with his feelings regarding Way’s betrayal but also his grief over his best friend being killed in front of him because he was saving Babe’s life. I just hope it isn’t something that they forget about in the first few episodes or rush his healing so it ends that part of the storyline quicker than it really should.

Alan and Jeff! Oh, how I’ve missed these two!

Most of our Alan and Jeff moments were sweet but since they’ve already started setting up their hiding things from each other, or at least on Jeff’s part, it really isn’t going to be long before we get bombarded with their angsty moments, is it?

I can cope (just) with angst for my favourite couple in this series as long as my payoff is a happy ending for the two of them. If it isn’t clear, I need Alan and Jeff happily married by the time the credits roll on the final episode.

North and Sonic together still bring so much joy with their relationship. Loved the acknowledgement of the fact that it’s obvious these two have been attracted to each other for years - they really should have been canon in season 1! And Alan playing matchmaker is hilarious but also kind of fitting given how much they helped him with his own relationship.

I want them to get together quickly but after Alan’s comment, I fear the slow burn coming! Just give us loved up and together North and Sonic now!

Kim resigning from X-Hunter is so in character. Kim made it clear in the first season that he wanted to beat the best, in the right way, in order to be the best. He’s not going to want to sit back and sacrifice his own chances of winning, even if it is in the best interests of the team.

I need a really good reason as to how Tony survived. Before watching the first episode of season 2, I rewatched Pit Babe (again! 😁) and with how much blood we could see Tony lying in, he really should be dead. I do wonder if it’s going to turn out that Tony has special powers himself or if it’s to do with one of his adopted children having the power to heal someone, but I need it explained and it better be good.

Charlie wasn’t one of my favourite characters in the 1st series so I’m interested to see if that changes. I did prefer him when he was confronting Willy so there’s a possibility, he becomes more likeable to me in this season.

I really liked Pop’s facial expressions. Winner was a great villain in the first series, largely due to him being weasly and rather spineless so seeing how terrified he looked (my first thought upon seeing him after Dean was shot at was it looked like he had crapped himself - always a great way to show how majorly terrified someone is! 😂) fit with the character.

Garfield should be required to wear that top for the full series! 🫠 The man looked fucking amazing! Sorry, not sorry! 🤭

Please, please, please don’t take too long before Kenta gets away from Tony! Stabbing Tony was a colossal moment for Kenta and if we have to watch him be treated like shit as one of Tony’s lackeys for most of the series, it’s a waste of him finally having the courage to stand up to Tony and do the right thing. Plus, we really don’t want to put Garfield and Benz’s amazing chemistry on the sidelines for too long - we need the time to see their bond grow given what’s happened between them previously.

Tony and Winner were great villains in the first series so I’m hoping that they can manage to make Willy’s villain era just as successful.

Dean ran and then apparently got shot but I’m not buying it. With the teaser for next episode showing a new mechanic being brought in, you got to assume it’s Dean and he’s Tony’s mole/spy in X-Hunter.

Glad that we’re not doing the Chris is actually Way storyline (or at least it appears we’re not). It would have ruined Way’s sacrifice in his attempts to make amends for what he did. I don’t mind if they go down the route of him being Way’s twin that was separated from him so early in their lives that they don’t remember each other but I’d prefer it to be only 1 miraculous return from the dead in the series.

Given how Pete is still so in love with Way, I already feel sorry for Chris.

Babe losing the race was a must. It makes it more interesting seeing him lose sometimes and gives the future races more excitement because the result could go either way.

Willy’s got powers that help him with racing, right? Perhaps similar to Babe’s? Or maybe even the exact same as a result of Tony’s experimentations?

Predicting that Babe is not, and will not at any point, cheat on Charlie even if that’s what some of the snippets of future episodes are trying to get us to believe.

Pit Babe 2 Teaser - Some thoughts

A little late but I’m finally getting round to posting some thoughts about the teaser trailer for the second series of Pit Babe. I can’t wait for May 2nd to finally get more of these boys!

From what has been mentioned in interviews so far, I’ve accepted that I’m going to have a lot of angst with Alan and Jeff in this series but I’m optimistic (a rarity for me 😂) that we will get a happy ending for them. That’s why I’m banking on this beautiful moment happening after all the shit has hit the fan, and we get an engagement (although I would love it to end with their actual wedding! 🙏🏼)

Is Jeff suffering nose bleeds because of too many visions or is it linked to the injections Charlie got from Reval in the first series that would rid them of his powers? 🧐

Perhaps this is why Cris is involved in the season? Either he’s helping sort this problem or his work has caused the problem? Now I’ve written that, I’m now starting to wonder if Cris is going to be more similar to Way in that he appears to be a good guy but there’s something more sinister lurking under the surface? 🧐

The worry on Alan’s face - these two are going to kill me in this series! 😭 Given the look on Jeff’s face, I think he’s had a vision that shows Alan getting hurt (or worse 😖) and that’s the reason for the traumatic shocked face he has. Although, another possibility is that he’s just found out he’s pregnant (so long as Change 2561 are willing to go all out in their series with the Omega verse despite the author’s change of heart) and he’s looking at his baby daddy for the first time since he’s found out, which I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds out though a vision rather than from any legit medical professional/test.

North and Sonic! This should have been canon in the first series so hopefully we don’t have to wait too long for our two loved up boys to actually get their act together and make things official!

I’ve got to admit, after the first series, I was more a fan of the thought of Pete and Kenta (the sexual tension was 🔥🥵) than Kenta and Kim, however, after seeing what they could do in This Love Doesn’t Have Long Beans, I’m so ready for Kenta and Kim! Plus, look at Kim’s face before he kisses Kenta - the boy is down bad!

I do like that brooding Kenta isn’t being given a sunshine-y lover. Instead he’s getting someone who values doing the right thing. With the previous series showing us just how fucked up Kenta was due to Tony, he needs someone who can help build him back up and encourage him to do the right thing (like stabbing Tony in the 1st series finale) and help him to realise that he is a good person and deserves the chance to live a happy life.

Obviously with it being a teaser trailer, we don’t know how involved Kenta will be with Tony but I really hope he’s not back to being his whipping boy and grovelling to him. It would be a total “fuck you”to what he did to Tony in the finale if, after standing up to him and trying to stop him hurting anyone else, he’s back to being Tony’s puppet. Kenta deserves to be on the hero side this season and be shown the love and support and friendship that Tony’s other adopted sons have gotten from being a part of X-Hunter - he’s just as much a victim as they were and will have just as much trauma, if not more, as they do from their upbringing.

This series is going to make us spontaneously combust from the hotness that it their NC scenes. We already know what Pooh and Pavel, Sailub and Pon and Garfield and Benz can give us but add Nut and Ping to the mix, I’m not sure we can survive! However, what a fucking way to go! 😂

Before we get the real trailer, I want to go on record to say that I hope Cris isn’t Way. As much as I would have liked to see Pete and Way get a happy ending together, Way managed in his dying act to earn a little redemption (note the word a little not complete!) by sacrificing himself to save his friends/family. If he somehow survived it and then hid this from them, especially after they mourned his death, it would completely undermine his actions by doing the right thing and saving them. Plus with Tony being back from the dead (or saved - boo! 😒), it would be too much to have a similar plot device with Way. It’s better to have Way stay dead and have Cris be a completely separate character, whether they are related or not.
