#Alex rider season 2

[llamasofchaos]

Rewatching Alex Rider is so funny because in season two Alex is so traumatized and they did that so well, but they also decided that Alex's response to being ignored and brushed off is to be as chaotic and unhinged as possible and I love that.

Like Blunt ignores him trying to find the department so Alex goes and chats up Sir David Friend to find him, and the way he gets David to help him is by saying that his goal is to embarrass Blunt. And then upon finding Blunt he once again tracks the department through the city on a bike.

Now was barging in on an operation Alex's smartest move? Obviously not.

However rewatching season two proves that while Alan Blunt is an amazing strategist he is also kind of an idiot. Like you could have cut the season in half if Blunt had actually listened to Alex and asked follow up questions.

Took me awhile to finish this, but I could not get this scene out of my head after rewatching season 2.

Alex: I hate when people ask "are you seeing anyone?" because I don't know if they mean dating or hallucinations.

Alex: I mean, the answer to both is yes and it's the same person, but that's beside the point.

I’m gonna go absolutely feral for Alex Rider season 3.

More Yassen Gregorovich?? SCORPIA?? Malagosto?? Julia Rothman?? Alex being trained (and gaslit) by SCORPIA???

[wastedonthesebutterflies]

Okay I’m definitely going to be madly in love with her for the foreseeable future

And here is every decision ever made and ever going to be made concerning harming Alex. No. He'd rather risk his reputation, his mission, his organization and basically everything else, including his life.

No Strike, Alex Rider - Season 2

Reasons Otto Farrant should be Daeron Targaryen:

He’s a relatively unknown but great actor (that seems to be the vibe of casting)

He looks baby (definitely could pass as 16)

Has an element of Tom Glynn-Carney about him (enough to pass as brothers)

He looks cute all beat up from battle

Would look great on a dragon

He’s got mummy Alicent’s big sad eyes

Pls

Alex Rider S3 timeline

Season 1 Timeline | Misc Timeline Notes

Some facts:

For time of year we know s3 takes place in the winter, based on dialogue from Blunt and Smithers

The trees in the background during establishing shots are just as unreliable as in s2 but during actor shots they're a mix of green and barren (most notably the cherry tree in front of the Rider house), implying late winter, probably February.

I don't know anything about the British school system, but Tom mentions having taken his GCSEs in ep1 so they're presumably on holiday from whatever comes after that (sixth form? A levels? it's Maltese to me).

Now we look at the elephant in the room. John Rider:

There are two different timestamps on the recording of the bridge exchange. 06/01/2005 and 2005-05-21. Not sure what the discrepancy means but since the latter has to be May we can assume that the former is formatted for June (as opposed to January). Also, Alex wasn't born yet in January 2005.

Alex's birthday is 13 Feb, 2005 (according to a prop from s2ep8)

Julia says that Alex was six months old, but based on the time stamp he was closer to three months old (easy mistake)

John and Helen Rider's gravestone puts their deaths in 2006 and Julia says it took her six months to track them down after the bridge exchange, so that checks out

Now in the present Mrs Jones says that it's been 17 years since Scorpia was destroyed, which would make s3 take place in early 2023

Alex is about to or just turned 17 years old

And therefore he was 15 in s1 and s2

S3 takes place over the course of nine days, which I think we can all agree is absolutely ridiculous, but that's how it works out.

Day 1: Boat ride; find Julia Rothman's house; Kyra's soup accident

Day 2: Identify and research Julia; Museum art showing

Day 3: Scorpia sends threat to Kellner; Tom and Alex go to Julia's villa; Pritchard gets blown up; Alex sneaks into Consanto and it blows up too; Alex goes to Malagosto

Day 4: Scorpia kills the footballers; Tom and Kyra get arrested; Julia tells Alex about his dad getting killed on the bridge; and Yassen! Is here!

Day 5: The assault course and the water bottle; shooting challenge; getting beat up by the other trainees; Pritchard's funeral; Tom and Kyra trace the call to Malagosto and Nile tries to send them home; the incursion assessment

Day 6: Shinai (Bokken) 5 on 1; Department calls Scorpia back and Scorpia gives them three days; Kyra and Tom find Malagosto; Smithers and Crawley find Julia's litter; Syl graduates; Jack gets a delivery from Tom; Max Grendel gets Yassassinated

Day 7: Everyone gets back to London; Blunt asks the CIA for help; Alex and Yassen surveil Jones' flat; Jack, Kyra, and Tom go to the Department; Navy Seals raid Malagosto; Alex doesn't kill Jones and gets sent back to the Department

Day 8: Nile sets up in the big church; Crawley takes Alex home; Blunt and Julia do storytime for Alex and Yassen

Day 9: Alex goes back into the Department; MI5 try to take Alex; Alex calls Julia for a pickup; a bunch of people in Bath don't die; Blunt retires; Alex comes in and gets John's medals; Nile gets Yassassinated
