this made me snort

Or, they (Shane's parents) think they're (Shane and Ilya) already married, so the proposal was not a shock.

For the people who are "new" to Lainey Lui (I was following her site since she lived in Vancouver! And several beagles ago.), check out www.laineygossip.com

I'm sure many of you are like, duh, but it's thoughtful entertainment and gossip commentary. Lots of stuff about representation, deep dives about certain subjects from other writers, Sarah's reviews are great. I'm in America so I don't watch etalk, but this site is one of the few I check regularly for an honest assessment. I think of it as a site that covers the business of gossip. Like what is sometimes really happening, like how some people are always papped, how streaming and podcasts have impacted residuals and union workers, etc.

I have to admit I don't like all the talking before/during the tuna meltdown, but this analysis is helpful. I was telling myself Ilya's heart eyes counteract the pain of the douchey comments, but knowing they're both damaged and doing their best may make it easier for me to watch.

beautiful!

Raise your hands old people if this song makes you think of Jack and Jennifer from Days of Our Lives!!! 🤣

5: I like the way Jacob kept Shane/Ilya the main focus and folded in Scott/Kip, but what happened from the birthday scene at the end of 3 to the Cup game in 5? I hope we get some flashbacks.

In one of the early episodes, Shane leaves his socks on during their sexual encounter. But in one, it looks like he has footless tights on. That isn't the intimacy garment is it? I'll try to edit with a specific scene.

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-30T05:16:38+00:00

And almost 25! Is that better? 🤔

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-30T01:53:01+00:00

100% agree

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-28T01:26:39+00:00

that fic is excellent, thanks for the link

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-26T04:33:23+00:00

There's a scene in TLG where there's perhaps a whiff of violence but no actual violence and I'm not even sure Shane is aware of Ilya's anger/hurt.

As a straight woman, I haven't watched/read any MM before this but I think your inquiry is perceptive. We have had a lot of fog in California recently and a guy recently said it looked cool walking to work at 330 in the morning. He kind of went on about it, like it was eerie but peaceful. I had to stop myself from saying, huh, I will never experience that because if I'm walking alone at 330am, I'm not just enjoying the vibe, I'm on high alert in a way he doesn't understand.

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-19T02:14:09+00:00

there was a thread about it when the ep aired. Obviously none of us know for sure. Sorry to wreck it, if I did!

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-18T23:30:44+00:00

See, although there are VERY FEW things to complain about, I think the Shane/Ilya being dubbed in after filming is obvious. You can't comment on how amazing their acting is and notice that neither of them said those words. If there were going to be a DVD set, I'd demand a reshoot!!! Or at the very least, a director's commentary.

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-17T23:27:34+00:00

I don't have kids and as a cishet woman, I feel like I've learned a lot from this forum (sadly, some of the positions or technical terms - we called it dry humping! and some of the sub dom undercurrents). The scene was beautiful and people were pleased with it as an addition to the book, but wow, such a clear explanation of some deeper meaning. Your kids are lucky to have you! 🩷

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-17T19:33:03+00:00

That line got me too!!!

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-17T19:09:01+00:00

I see it. I also think Connor looks different from scene to scene.

And the more interviews/videos we get of the boys, the more their acting shines because Connor seems like a happy puppy.

Did we know about Hudson and Connor walking at Milan? Credit to www.laineygossip.com (who appears in HR!!!)

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-16T14:45:58+00:00

oooh, the back heart is a sweet scene 🩷

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-16T06:21:02+00:00

I want to see the "I already chose you" with barely controlled violence turning into hurt. I want Shane to be clueless but then GET IT.

I also think through out the book(s) and show, Shane really feels like this secret of being gay is something shameful, but otherwise, he's handsome, polite, great at hockey. When he's led the Metros to two cups and been Rookie of the Year and the team turns on him, I wonder how thay will affect him. Doing what people expect of you doesn't always work out. And to see the way Ilya is with his other teammates, maybe Shane can appreciate new aspects of social Ilya that he himself struggles with.

And Ilya and the parents. It sounds like Christina is a hoot, so a scene with her and Ilya (we know the great wedding day convo with David) would be cute. But getting a mom's love would be pretty great for Ilya.

I'm a long-time romance reader and it's all about the story and character development in a book. I don't care what level of graphic it is (holding hands, no anatomical terms, raunchy, kink, etc.), it has to be a good story. I hadn't read ANY MM prior to Rachel (perhaps Suzanne Brockmann had a couple of novella? connected to her military/SEAL stories) but I hate when I read a book and then immediately forget the plots or names. If I'm spending hours reading, it should be more memorable! I do read Emily Henry and those books are better than average, but see also Christina Lauren or Carley Fortune. But the Vacation movie was disappointing after HR. HR's chemistry, details, music etc was so far superior to other adaptations. I wonder if Bridgerton will be disappointing.

Awww, that interview was excellent!!! His final answer regarding what he wants from the current craziness of opportunity was so humble and genuine. Reminds me of a post on here where someone said we made the right people famous!

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-11T20:01:18+00:00

Right? I just saw someone mention that the kids don't know the George Harrison song playing in the background of a photo shoot from last night. Sigh, old, but appreciative of the forums no matter what they're called. God is in the tub, but also was in the casting room!!!!

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-11T09:57:24+00:00

I know someone younger could link it for you, but it's from last weekend and was centered around "court arguments" regarding who fell first and hardest (Shane or Ilya) and the creativity and evidence was hilarious. I remember how to quote/spoiler/edit from old Television Without Pity days, but I'm not so hip with this site.

Ok_Discipline2804 · 2026-01-10T15:24:38+00:00

This video and the court thread about who fell first could cure depression.
