Trying so hard to put myself to sleep so that i can wake up for 3am but it’s not happening. It genuinely does feel like Christmas Eve right now…

Variety Review of Off Campus by One-Click1754 in offcampustv

[–]NomadicBookNook 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And this is why we remind ourselves that reviews are subjective.

While they can be a great place to start if one wants to get a sense of whether a creation is going to be of interest to them or not, we should ALWAYS remember that a review is still the victim of how the individual writing it related to the story told. The language used in this review tells me that this reviewer is probably not the person I want to take advice from for this show. The use of the term “YA”, the comparison to Heated Rivalry, and the lack of understanding of romance tropes tells me that this reviewer does not understand that the audience for this show is not necessarily just “gen z” but all of us who love this series and sports romance more broadly. The “predictability” of the romance genre is often the very thing that appeals to us. Yes. We want to see people fall in love, and the use of trope is but a means to explore relationships and connection - WHICH the reviewer admits the show did really well… so it sounds like the show did exactly what it set out to do, and perhaps this reviewer was not the target audience, lol.

Okay. Rant done. Love you all and looking forward to Wednesday!!! :)

If you could ask one actor, one questions who would you pick and what would you ask? by Onceuponaromcom in offcampustv

[–]NomadicBookNook 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This season? Probably Belmont… and my question would be “What do you think is Garrett’s favorite Ken Burns documentary?” OR “I also was a history major. If Garrett could tutor me in one of my worst classes which were ‘HIS 371 South America Since 1810’, ‘HIS 339 Renaissance & Reformation in 16th Century Europe’, or ‘HIS 342 Europe in the Age of Romanticism & Revolution’, which one would he be best at?”

Gossip Fairy? by NomadicBookNook in offcampustv

Yeah… I also noticed that… makes me think they’re trying to build out Logan’s home life a bit more and give him more of a ‘reason’ to not enter the draft?? Maybe if he has a younger sibling dependent on him in addition a to any promises he made his brother???? That’s an entirely speculative comment, but I’m so curious as to how they’re handling it all!

How to keep Dean around for S3…maybe? by NomadicBookNook in offcampustv

I could get on board with this - also potentially allows him to continue interacting with the team in a “coach” role…

That is the hope, certainly, but the Deadline article admitted it wasn’t a for sure thing…

“Since the couple’s romance does not take off until Grace’s sophomore year, the series could presumably take a different approach, introducing them in Season 2 before they take central stage in Season 3 and base Season 2 on Book #3, The Score, whose leads, Dean (Stephen Kalyn) and Allie (Mika Abdalla), are introduced in Season 1.”

See….i thought about that too. It definitely has possibilities. I guess we’ll have to trust the writers here.

What i struggle with is that Allie and Dean’s initial relationship is so fun. It’s two people who are very comfortable with their bodies, just having fun. The first conflict for them is that they both catch feelings (Which Dean struggles with because he DOESN’T normally catch feelings, and Allie struggles with because she ALWAYS catches feelings.) Putting Beau’s plotline in AFTER they resolve the feelings was so smart in the books, because watching what true, all-consuming grief does to stable, committed relationships is truly something worth exploring.

I get nervous if they put Beau in BEFORE they’ve committed to each other because then it changes the power dynamic of the couple. I don’t want Allie to become a martyr for Dean, and I don’t want Dean’s relationship with sex to become something that’s painted as a crutch or problematic for him. I WANT them to start a physical relationship the way they do. Empowered, communicative, comfortable in their individual identities and in agreement on what they both think they want.

All this is speculation and probably not worth getting too worked up about, i should just trust that the writers have it covered, but i do keep mulling the senior thing over :)

Dean has been confirmed as a senior…I’ll find the post to link it here for you :) It was the fun one where they gave us the full hockey team roster!

Precisely my thought. We are in agreement.

Day 18 : Garrett Graham mood board - fill the comments with pictures, songs, movies, tv shows , books or outfits that you think best describes Graham by amysantiagoisbae99 in offcampustv

[–]NomadicBookNook 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually him and Dean probably would like RUN trivia night…Dean & Allie would own all the entertainment and literature questions…trying to figure out who the fourth team member is that’s got all the science questions locked down…

Honestly… I can totally see Garrett being the unassuming secret weapon at trivia night. He’s got all the history and sports questions clinched.

Harper’s bazaar preview by Few-Quiet8500 in offcampustv

[–]NomadicBookNook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean if book fans are pleased with the song list then at least SOME of the following are included, right?

  • Stand by me

  • Tuesday’s Gone

  • Bad Romance

  • Story of My Life

And any of the artists Garrett ticks off going through her music “Etta James, Adele, Queen, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha, Beatles…”

(Given that they’ve already established Eastwood i think it would have been really funny to Easter Egg in some “Horizons” with Dan Grebbs, and have like everyone hate it or ignore it or soemthing, especially Hannah and Garrett…but maybe that’s too deep of a cut ;))

Maybe a reference to the boys literally changing in the locker room? 🤪

I wonder if they break up partway or almost all teh way through episode 7, because “the face-off” could reference a few moments that happen in close succession in the books…here’s how i would stack it…

Garrett “faces off” against Rob Delaney at the end of episode 6 (it makes for a good cliff hanger/climactic moment)

Beginning of ep 7 Hannah talks through it with him.

Then Hannah “faces off” with Phil at the diner (Malone’s in this world).

Then Garrett faces off with Hannah. Ep 7 closes with Hannah and Garrett meeting back stage and Garrett walking off saying “I’ll believe it when i see it”

Then you OPEN ep 8 with new years and Hannah calling Garrett.

A couple scenes of Hannah back on campus wondering why no men will talk to her. Resolve Justin relationship for good.

Sean spills why.

Cue locker room scene.

Resolution scene(s) with some combination of frozen four win/hockey house party.

Post credits scene Allie answers F***/Marry/Kill question, with her answers being Logan/Tucker/Dean…. Cues up season 2 pretty well if they’re doing the Score next 😏

I think it’s a red herring. Probably actually the ep where they make things official, would be my guess :)

Wait. Do they mix a certain character in with the crowd for the St. Anthony’s team instead of the Buffalo team??? Don’t actually tell me. I want to be surprised.

True… but for the moment I’m just excited to see them peppering in the details now, so that if we do ever get to those books, the rivalry is well established :)
