episode 1.01 re-read reax
Fav scene: I love a tableau! The first intro of the techies on the stairs is even more fun the second time around.
Fav performance: Riley singing Your Song, so soft.
Fav character: Zay was a stand out for his friendliness, but Isa takes the top spot this episode because I love how much we can already see about her from limited screen time and exposition. The way she was talking with Lucas in the first part of the episode shows us that they're serious and also very close. The way she takes control of the stage without any performance, she's doing her own thing and still commands a room. The fact that she tries to stop Lucas from doing the fire alarm thing shows how she cares. And yeah maybe I'm just super excited because I know how much she grows this season.
Fav line: "but also showing off his capacity to be obnoxious."
Underrated moment: Dave asking how he can get a song cannon lmao
Something I missed: Zay and Charlie often parallel each other in scenes, usually if one is mentioned then the next line is about what the other is doing, as if they're connected by some cosmic line? Also, Sarah saying Lucas's full name, subtle hint that people may not get on with him but they are interested enough to know stuff about him
First impression vs re-read: I can't remember my first impression well, but I think I underestimated Isa. Also I had no idea how crazy Farkle could actually get despite the clues from day one. Lucas making a comment on Riley's performance also hit differently in the re-read, because now I know that Lucas is so much more invested in situations than he lets on... it seems like the comment was intended to challenge her, not put her down.

Yes, the techies... we just have to stan! I’ve loved them forever and I will love them forever more!! I’m glad to see Miss Riles getting a little vocal love (as she dang well should). I LOVE your thoughts on Isadora just from the start, and how she completely developed and exceeded your expectations as you went on. :’) Es will also love to see that haha.
Your comment about Charlie and Zay... well... what can I say but 👀👀👀. And then how Lucas’s line to Riley “hits differently,” ... mhm. mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm! That is definitely one of those moments that looks a lot different in hindsight once we have this whole world of context ahead of us. Like sure, maybe Lucas wants a little chaos... but rather than targeting it at Riley, he’s just contemplating that she might be able to cause it too... and well, as a homie knows,,,
