Yeah I super wonder how they will split up the rest of it, which couples they’ll focus on etc.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So curious about that!
Even if they really want to just focus on The Long Game, I think everyone appears in that. Maybe not Eric and Kyle. But Kyle has been on screen already. So opportunities for flashbacks at the very least?
I don't know whether I hope someone throws more of a budget at season 2 or not, working with limited resources (I assume) so far has gotten such good results...
One of the things I think is funny in the books and I think could be very amusing on the show is the way Carter/Georgia is entirely unseen just mentioned occasionally and Maria/that Finnish player are just a little in the background. Like, token straights with their offscreen romances. But not taking up valuable time from anyone actually important.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Fancast for Mati Jalo? I feel like it would be impossible to match how he's described in the book. But yes, let's give Maria her background HFN.
