Alex: yassen tried to kill my friend's dad!

Blunt: that sounds like a 'you problem'

2024 has been quite the year! Four very different roles in four very different projects and in each one he was astonishing. Talk about versatility. Such truthfulness brought to each character. This is why Stephen Dillane is my favourite actor. Eager to see what’s next for him.

Alex Rider + references to his mother S03E06 & S03E07 & S03E08

He had seen photographs of this woman and he was astonished to find her here. He knew that he was looking at his mother. He tried to get up, but he couldn’t. He wanted to hold her hand, but his arms would no longer obey him. He wasn’t breathing any more, but he hadn't noticed. The man and the woman stepped forward out of the crowd. The man said nothing; he was trying to hide his emotions. But the woman leant down and reached out a hand. Only now did Alex realize that he had been looking for her all his life. She reached out and touched him, her finger finding the exact spot where there was a small hole in his shirt. Scorpia, Chapter 20: A Mother's Touch - Anthony Horowitz

blunt really said ”don't mistake me for an honourable man” at the end of s1e7 like... trust me buddy no one would ever make that mistake

Alex: * saves England from a deadly man made virus*

*stops racist man from planting clones of himself in positions of power and taking over the world*

*prevents a nuclear bomb that can destroy a good chunk of Europe from exploding*

SOME USE????!!!! SOME??????

Behold! (For the second time!) My very own poster for Alex Rider as a multicoloured linocut! Roughly A3 size, printed with oil based paints, the blue mixed by yours truly.

Had a blast working on it even though it was a wee bit nerve-wrecking, but in the end I think it was worth it :,) I just love doing Alex Rider themed traditional prints! 💖

Alex Rider S1E8 Review

wrapping up season one before my life gets quite busy again (we'll see when the next one of these is posted heh)

-god, Tom is just so *nice.* making him a bigger factor is such a high point in this show

-a thought that just occured to me. Jones is far too normal. where is my off-putting peppermint queen

-crawley is portrayed so perfectly. honestly such an understated character but Ace Bhatti is perfect (also go Kyra telling him to shut up, iconic)

-KYRA YOU SON OF A BITCH STEALING THE CARD FROM CRAWLEY WAS GENIUS (another one of those scenes that really fits the books, vibe-wise)

-omg the washer?? SO CUTE I CANNOT

-kyra do NOT make me cry on main I REPEAT DO NOT

-i love yassen with every cell in my body but what an anticlimactic death scene for greif (society if we got the greif death pun). *however* yassen walking away from the car is ice cold and goes absolutely crazy

-GOD the john rider lore drop this early goes craaaaazy

-OMG THE MOUTHWASH CALLBACK YES SO GOOD

-julius greif is so creepy i'm obsessed

-SPEECHLESS. the clone fight scene and the aftermath?? so cool. like it's so off the book (weird mix of Point Blanc and Scorpia Rising) but i don't even care right now because that was incredible (the devil works hard, but Yassen Gregorovich works harder)

-tom wearing a shirt that says "the book was better" is so fucking funny to me (it's true). biblically accurate alex rider.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and with that, i've finished season 1!

just some overarching thoughts:

-biggest strength of this show vs the books is that we get to see things from multiple POVs instead of Alex's limited one

-love love love how Alex has such a good support system in this show

-the tone shift between the books and show is so interesting. the books are way darker imo which is crazy bc they were actually marketed towards children while the show skews older i think. like, we barely get the level of manipulation from Blunt in the show and the Julius Greif death and honestly clone fight were way toned down. just some observations i had throughout (i think by this point in the books, Alex had killed 2 people and set his clone on fire which is crazy)

but anyways! as always, lmk your thughts and i'll see you soon for season 2! :salute:

Hello, Season 3 Alex. This new look is fine.

(Everyone looks fine)

Too bad it doesn't last.

You can literally see him crossing over to the darkside in these shots 😭

At least five to six shots of her lurking in the background, murmuring in Alex's ear... For a 2 minute trailer, that's a lot. They're clearly not shying away from the creepy predatoriness of this relationship and I am so here for that 🙌

But yeah, post-SCORPIA Alex is going to be the death of me (haha, geddit?) LOOK AT HIM. He looks so fucking tortureddd 🤐😩

Moral dilemmas, here we go✊

Anyway whoever decided to bless us with more of this duo needs a raise:

They were so correct.

I have such high expectations for this season and I can already tell it's not going to disappoint. Just like season 1 and 2 never did. Especially not with shots like these:

I don't know what we did collectively as a fandom to deserve this great an adaptation lol. I am simply filled with so much joy that, whatever happens, I can safely get excited about a story so close to my heart 🙏💘🙃
