Have you actually done anything worth going to prison for? Alex Rider, Season 3

[diamondsunbursts-and-marblehalls]

Tom Harris. He went from being the stereotypical best friend character to the glue. His parents probably don't know where he is most of the time, and they don't seem to care, he idolizes his big brother in the way only a boy raised by his brother could. He's willing to give up spending time with his idol to keep his best friend safe. He's fully aware that his friends could do this without him, but as long as he's alive he makes sure they never have to. He hates museums and Spiderman, and he's bad at cool spy tricks like hopping over walls or hacking but he can keep a level head hundreds of miles from home when a ship with his best friend aboard explodes. His first instinct is to get them to safety, regardless of how much he wants to stay. He's strong enough to drag Kyra out of harm's way while she's falling to pieces. He is eternally optimistic, he doesn't give up hope that Alex is alive, and he refuses to leave him, even in a lot of emotional turmoil and physical danger. He comes up with solutions quickly, and he knows how to tie a bowtie. He eats cereal straight out of the box. He records everything because he wants to make films. He records everything to make sure that there's evidence to protect Alex this time. he has microbangs. He's Alex and Kyra's number-one hype man. He calls his best friend's guardian more than he calls his parents, he doesn't believe anyone is ever broken beyond repair. He would dress up as a pizza man and bike for miles just to hug his best friend and make a poor analogy about anchovies.

Julia: John deceived us, he was playing us, he was mi6 all along, he was never one of us!!

Yassen: That sounds like a you problem, I don't give a fuck

One of my favorite things about season three was the extraordinary gentleness Alex was met with when was pulled out of SCORPIA. Mrs. Jones wasn't angry, she was distraught at the pain he was in. Smithers and Crowley were protective and reassuring, Jack and Tom and Kyra were patient and so so accepting and loving. After four episodes of watching Alex spiral into darkness, you see him pulled forcibly back into a life he was walking away from, and you can see he was CLEARLY expecting anger and retribution. But instead, he was met with understanding and grief on his behalf, and he was so confused because SCORPIA are very very good at what they do, and they got in his head. This show really did such a fantastic job of reinforcing that, while Alex did make some bad decisions, he was manipulated and lied to and beaten and those things were not his fault.

I'm looking at the letters John wrote to Julia and holy shit John what is your handwriting

Yassen, squinting at Alex's shopping list: You really are your father's son

I saw people talking about that scene where Yassen shot Max as a huge betrayal of Alex and it's kinda funny to me like yeah he involved Alex in a murder but also I cannot emphasise enough that Alex decided to join a criminal organisation. People have been telling him he'll need to kill for days now, Alex has watched them kill multiple people already, I get that it sucks for him but you cannot team up with a known killer and be that shocked when actually his secret extra mission was to kill

Tom recording everything this time around so that no matter what people have to believe Alex is equally heartwarming as it is heartbreaking.

Because in season two no one believed him. Not even Tom or Jack, not in the beginning. Such a huge theme in season two was Alex trusting himself even though no one else did and now in season three all his friends trust him even when he doesn't.

"Alex, you okay?" "Yeah, just thought I heard something."

so much stuff in season 3 had me screaming but yassen calmly dumping all over julia's attempt at a grand reveal of john's true allegiance was peak

the fact that he knows john did right by him and any deception and betrayal was never anything to do with him and his relationship with john was already brilliant but then to throw that right back at julia was so fucking funny

Tom's reaction to Alex and Kyra DID ME IN because like. Man spent the whole season lowkey trying to get them to address their feelings, he knows 100% that they're both in love with each other. He doesn't skirt around it, and he doesn't for a second pretend that he doesn't know what's up. But all it takes for him to completely lose it is a subtle handhold and Kyra gently touching Alex's face and he's all "OOOOOOOO this is wild I can't believe this, who could have possibly foreseen this outcome? certainly not me. DID YOU SEE THAT?? WhEn DiD tHiS HaPpEn? DiD yOu KnOw AbOuT tHiS?? THEY'RE HOLDING HANDS SHE TOUCHED HIS FACE" as if Alex hasn't been publicly looking at her with the most indecently embarrassingly down bad I'm in love with you eyes for MONTHS and as if he didn't know that Alex is Kyra's whole world. As if he hasn't walked in on them with Kyra's shirt off (he actually seemed less surprised and more scandalized even before he figured out what was actually going on) He's acting like Jack is a traitor for not telling him when he's made it perfectly clear he's well aware of their feelings for each other the entire time. He's out here acting like he's not the captain of this ship.
