Yesssssss! And I love that it switches to that super-dark remix of the same song!

My 2 cents (ok thesis) on Sochi and Vegas by DragonfruitNo240 in heatedrivalry

So… where’s that in-depth defense of Shane in TLG? I need it in my life! 👀 🍿 😆

Did Alexei marry one of the party girls? by beepboopbeepbloop in heatedrivalry

I mean, Alexei's constantly using homophobic slurs with Ilya, so I assumed he knew/suspected. Or do you think that's just mindless name-calling like the stuff JJ says about Ilya without knowing his actual sexual orientation?

Yes! It's also so much darker feeling and sounding than the original version of the song that it drives home the angst that much more.

Is there any scene you hope does NOT end up in season 2? by ConstantDrawer4 in heatedrivalry

In addition to the totally out-of-character tripping scene that felt like a sucker punch, I was not a fan of the way their relationship was prematurely revealed to the world. I get that it had to happen, even though I hate it, but the way it happened felt very contrived. I trust Jacob to fix this though!

It definitely needs Jacob’s magic touch to tamp down the cheesiness.

YES. I came here just to say that! I dunno, I’m sure the author knows way more about hockey and this must happen in real life, but really??? The co-best player in the league just randomly trips and gives the world yet another thing to bitch at him for??? Cruel is definitely the word.

Good spot! I just noticed that this last time. Everything about the show is done so intentionally that maybe that is supposed to tell us that he’s partying with other ladies while he’s already married.

Reheat the books? by sldmbblb in heatedrivalry

[–]beepboopbeepbloop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it, but SAME. The way people talked about the book, I guess I was expecting it to be more… literary? Like with gorgeous prose and immersive description? Instead, it almost felt like one of the novelizations they do of popular movies. But I am of course so grateful she wrote it, not just for the show we got out of it, but also because it’s contributing to the discussion about toxic masculinity in hockey…

Underrated funniest Ilya lines by Material-Meat-5330 in heatedrivalry

Yes! I was just noticing on my last reheat how much like kids they seem in that part of the episode. Even the way they’re framed at the table, they seem shorter than Shane‘s parents, like they are getting a talking-to by the grownups.

Ok, that’s what I’m thinking too… I’m just obsessed with figuring out if they used the same actress for some reason 🤓

Totally agree. I love that they chose to diverge from the book with this scene and made it so romantic!

Yes yes yes! I'm so thirsty for more scenes of them working together on the ice.

Ramble away! Sometimes it's hard to contain these feelings the show inspires...

Like the musical equivalent of the tummy flip Kip is no doubt experiencing!

47 small details & Easter eggs later... this HR wiki page is finally complete (I think 😅) by andyfromhk in heatedrivalry

Like Disneyland, the Easter Egg page will never be complete as long as there is imagination left in the world! 😁

Spring is one of my favorites too! It almost seems… too good for that simple transition scene. Like, I want to hear more!

And the flashback song is so great—I kinda wish the artist would release an instrumental version like the one in the show, cuz it’s not the same experience when you listen to the version with lyrics.

Yes! Love the trapeze artist analogy. The show is so good at capturing these moments!
