    I have always been blown away by Kit's acting skills. But Joe has really developed this year. That phone conversation was relatable and blew me away and I was in a puddle of tears. I agree that Hayley handled the Menorca scenes well. However, I will throw out that I feel there is an Olivia Coleman sized hole throughout the season that is not filled. It adds to Nick's isolation and suffering and watching Nick suffer is not easy!

    I'm glad you took time and didn't pay attention to that insta poll, lol. I'm lucky that my TicToc is just Taylor Swift stuff. I tend to go to Twitter , and Insta for HS stuff. (The only thing I saw was what I assume is Charlie surprising Nick with a Zoo day for his birthday, which isn't the worst.). Great pod. I agree with most everything you say. (Also someone mentioned the birthday cake was the colors of volume 5.) I wouldn't be surprised if Nick said his mum helped him make it, to bring her a little into the season. I think the Auntie will be great. I was upset that Olivia Colemam wasn't going to do the iconic scene in Menorca, especially since I VERY easily pictured it, and it is my favorite scene in the comics, BUT Hayley nailed it, and all my concerns have gone. (Also someone pointed out to me when I was having my freak out that the scene is about Nick, not about Sarah, so just as long as we see he trusts his aunt, that is the important part.)

    I'm rewatching the whole show and re-listening to all your podcasts before S3 comes out! I absolutely love your show! Anyway, if you look at the gymnasium floor when they're practicing for the concert, it's red. However, at the concert the floor is blue. It's two different gymnasiums! We also never actually hear anyone say which school the concert is at (only that the rehearsal is at Truham). So it's very possible that the concert was in fact at Higgs. Which makes sense because that's where the practice room is. Also, does anyone else find it disturbing that there's a practice room that locks from the outside. At Higgs.

    Had to pull over to comment how eerily similar my Heartstopper story is to Kassandra’s. I heard mutuals in the queer spaces online talking about it for a few months but I didn’t sit down and watch it until the week my childhood dog was dying in June 2022. I took off that whole week just to stay home with her and hang out by her side and I didn’t realize how badly I really needed that comfort until I watched Heartstopper and it felt like the biggest warmest hug I could’ve possibly received. Of course as soon as ep 8 ended, I started ep 1 all over from the beginning. I will always be grateful for all the comfort and happiness this little teen show on Netflix has brought me over the past 2 years.

    Regarding the amount of content they’re covering in S3, I try to remind myself that vol4 tells the events of Charlie’s hospitalization through each of their point of views, contributing to the page count.

    Imogen's internal monologue when seeing Sahar play is the same as Nick's when he opened the door to Charlie post-haircut. It's as if someone turned the heart eyes emoji into a real face. I have seen this episode so many times but I had to pause the podcast to go watch the final two scenes before listening so it was super fresh. I will never understand how Kit can show SO many emotions with his face, it's just incredible. The desperation to want to help, the need to show Charlie how much he loves and respects him, the utter joy of being in his presence, the confusion, the hurt.. Gahh it's all too much! ❤

    This was, by far, my favorite guest episode. He was thoughtful, articulate, thorough, and insightful, and I really appreciated the added layer of his media critique. My favorite part was where he talked about the visual symbolism evoked by Charlie sitting on the tree in the art room. Top notch analysis there, and definitely something I’d never considered. Even when I didn’t agree with his opinions (Why Am I Like This will always be my favorite song-to-scene pairing), he was able to make a convincing case for his viewpoint that enhanced my appreciation for the show. So, when is he coming back on?

    I was in a semi Ben like situation, and for safety issues, never got to REALLY tell him EXACTLY what I felt. (just ignored the guy until he got tired of me not responding to his emails, and texts. It took 2 years, and me blocking any new number.). He blamed his horrible treatment on trauma (not related to being queer, but just blaming his parents for his nastiness), and I wish I could have given a speech like this because it is not a frigging excuse. (Also, Darcy has a HORRIBLE homophobic, just mean mom, and yet, she is so kind.). Of course my mom has pointed out, that he doesn't deserve the energy of a speech from me, but it would have been cathartic.
