The first thing Constance pulled from the box was a card that read: Happy birthday, my dear! Always remember that the world is your oyster. Affectionately, Mr. Benedict. Constance seemed ready to cry, but she cleared her throat and passed the card roughly to Reynie. She needed several tries to take out her present — it was small and delicate, and Constance had neither patience nor dexterity — but at last she produced a lovely pendant on a slender gold chain. The pendant was a miniature globe, painted in deep greens and blues, with a bright, tiny crystal set into it.

Happy Secure the Perimeter Saturday.

Maybe it's just me, but why was Number Two’s stereotypically rural American family with stereotypically rural American sounding accents who were too afraid to leave the house somehow living in Luxembourg? I watch scenes with them and have to remind myself that they are in Europe and not the rural United States.

It's a weird detail to notice, but the only thing that makes sense is that the mom moved to Europe, stuff happened to make her super paranoid, she settled in Luxembourg, and then never left the house and shamed Number Two for trying to leave. So Number Two and her siblings were born there and never left the house/property, which explains why they have American accents (and everything else about them).

So many people speculated “Constance will have already incapacitated/tied up/maimed her kidnappers by the time the others find her” but I love how no one could’ve predicted “Constance will emotionally devastate her kidnapper through a malicious impromptu therapy session”

i love how constance’s “happiness” wavered for a moment when she said “how depressing” at Dr Garrison’s notes Like even when brainwashed she simply CANNOT RESIST bullying Dr Garrison SKDJKDSHD

I find it hilarious that when Sticky is clearly being pulled in by the Whisperer, Constance is like “He’s weak I pity him”

And then when Constance gets brainwashed, Sticky is like “Lol she’s more enjoyable now”

They’re family. They love each other. They really do.

But one of them being in immediate severe danger will not stop the bitchy-ness

Absolutely nothing can stop them

Can you talk more about how the mysterious Benedict society characters feel ooc?

As a whole, particularly in the 2nd season, they cut out so much of the book that we lost almost all of the development with the characters (Reynie struggling with trusting people, Sticky learning to gain confidence, etc.) Individually, my issues are mostly with Kate and Constance. With Kate, I really didn’t like how she was constantly pushing Milligan away in S2. Like yes she’s independent, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t appreciate her dad. In the show, there’s a moment where Milligan makes Kate a gadget and she says she doesn’t need it, but like… if Milligan made something like that for her in the book, she’d be showing it off to everyone and treasuring it forever. For Constance, they make her so snarky that she acts super indifferent even at times where it would be totally inappropriate for her to do so. Like when Mr. Benedict disappears in S2 she basically just shrugs it off and keeps making jokes about how he’s dead??? Like, just because Constance acts aloof all the time doesn’t mean that she doesn’t actually care about anyone. In the book, she was really upset when Mr. Benedict got kidnapped and she would absolutely mortified at the idea of him dying. Like, that’s not something she would joke about. So yeah all in all, it seems like the writers of this show really don’t understand the books and what made the characters so good in the first place.

According to my calculations (aka an online fare estimator), it'd only be about 776.71 escudos, so he is scamming them, but they couldn't pay the proper fare anyway bc they have the dollar equivalent of 89 cents-

Mercury thiocyanate does create a really cool reaction when ignited! But it is still… mercury. And creates poisonous gases in the process.

rhonda wtf??? that is a MOM looking for her SON and also a BAMF YOU SHOULD RESPECT

this is a very illuminating look into her character though… 👀

We’re seeing how all three manage the stress and worry that’s been thrust upon them- Milligan “overparents”, tries to distract himself with small things. Ms. Perumal is the most well-adjusted, taking practical steps and working to maintain the others’ morale. And Rhonda… Rhonda seems to be channeling that “professionalism” that she was encouraging in the steward earlier. She needs to do something to push toward results in a situation that’s largely out of her control, and she’s a scientist- she goes for the most pragmatic solution.
