You have been pining about missing Paris for forever, so you should go there in November. You can always go to Stockholm in winter. Again congratulations on the promotion. 😘

Watching before going to work this morning. Jackie, you mentioned the different tone for this episode. Such as Nick looking pensive when they were talking about Prom. I think it’s definitely setting the tone and scene for Season 3

Diane Furlong

I can’t wait to see your reaction to season 3 even though I know it’s gonna be emotional and I know it’s gonna break me

Pamela Hughes

I am also going to be in NYC in December (granted, just for the day, but still exciting!)

Erin

Also, thank you again for revisiting these. You have seriously gotten me thru until the new season. It’s almost like having new content to look forward to - and also feels like re-watching an old favorite with a friend. I love how heartfelt your reactions are & just how genuinely you love these characters & their stories. It always makes me smile. ♥️

I saw your update about the promotion - congratulations! So happy for you!!

Thank you! I have now watched this video twice, pondering your comments about the tone. I also recognized this on a subconscious level, but hadn’t put words to it. I think the sad undertone of this episode comes from the fact that the first seven episodes of this season had been focused on Nick’s coming out, whilst hinting to a lot of other storylines to come, and the start of this episode ‘finishes’ Nick’s journey (with a beautiful instagram post). This then implies that all those other storylines are going to take centre stage, and we viscerally recognize that most of them are going to a much darker place. Even the small resolutions we get (Isaac finding, and devouring, the book, Tara and Darcy’s chat, Elle and Tao on the dance floor) imply that there is much more to be explored and more to overcome. The fact that Alice and the team can use such beautiful music and visuals, have the group experience so much happiness at prom and the after-prom, and still hint at and cultivate this sense of sadness is beautiful and heartbreaking. We are not ready for Season Three.

I saw a post on Reddit (and I know, Reddit) comparing Heartstopper to Young Royals and seeing that Heartstopper is inferior because it doesn’t have the same emotional heft as YR. To me, anyone who looks at that last 10 minutes of this episode and says that this show doesn’t have emotional heft, hasn’t understood this show. Everything from the writing to the direction to the acting is profound and meaningful. If the scene between Charlie and Nick in Nick’s bedroom, doesn’t have emotional heft, then nothing does. The scene between Nick and Tao may be my favorite in this season, too. The arc of their relationship to each other is beautiful to watch, and again they both act it wonderfully. I think Tao grows so much as a character from the beginning of the first season to the end of this season, and it makes me really look forward to where his character goes from here, particularly in his relationships to the other characters.

So many thouths Jackie... I cannot listen to the "You're so pretty" from the same reason you cannot watch the finale of 2nd season. Same with "Alice" from YR. Those songs are too much 😭 I'm so emotional too and I'm crying all along with you and I gonna cry for sure in 4 days. But not ashamed at all 🤭 I love this show so so much, this has given me some hints about my life even being in late fourties. And I was one of my best days ever I founded you on Youtube. So gratefull for all that ❤️❤️❤️ I read the Isaak Ace book the halfway though, it's kinda difficult and sometimes heavy research-kind. But gives some more nice hints 🤗❤️

I remember last year after my first watch, I thought the same, how can I survive at least 1 year of waiting ? Then Alice revealed the title of the first episode of season 3, which makes it much more worse!! And now we are here, just 3,5 days till season 3🤯 It is crazy wonderful 💓💛🩷💙💚🤎

Prinsassy

These are my thoughts also 😏

It doesn’t really interest me unfortunately other than Kit and Rachel being in it. Im sure it’s great but Shakespeare isn’t really my thing. You’ll have to let us know how it is though.

Jackie-Ross Lavender

In going in Dec, I need to see him and all the reviews say that is very modern and queer oriented ( without losing the original story)

Wildallie Diaz

That conversation at the end really hits home for me and how much bullying can have an effect on people and did on me. Really affected the perceptions of myself.

David

I agree with Jackie. I don't know how anyone can not appreciate Heart stopper. Whether it is "your thing" or not, it is such an important body of work. Some of us just don't seem to appreciate the loveliness of life alongside the hardships. And we seem to live in a world where it is not enough for some people to just say "I didn't like it" they have to trash things. So sad. Ultimately I find Heart stopper shows what love truly is past the initial infatuation and shows us how important it is to confront our difficulties. I love the show. And I am in my fifties. I feel about Heartstopper like I felt about waiting for the latest Jane Austen adaptations back in the 1980s when Heartstopper would never have been made.

MIchelle Arbery

I can tell you with absolute certainty that this isn’t happening 😂

Jackie-Ross Lavender

Taylor’s song was on repeat for weeks after that last episode. Especially that specific scene where “seven” is played, gets me every time… just seeing them being happy, having fun, being in love. And knowing that most of that scene was improvised and the fact that they are all very close friends in real life as well makes it even more beautiful 🥹♥️ And don’t even get me started on the “you’re so pretty” scene 😭 I know I’m gonna need plenty of tissue boxes in 4 days 🥺

Frances

Wow, this makes me so emotionel - watching this with you. I can’t believe season 3 is so close!!!!!

Anna

Go to New York to watch Romeo and Juliet

Wildallie Diaz

I think you should go to Stockholm since you haven’t been to Kaggelholms Slott (Hillerska) before 😉

Frances

Todays my sons 12 birthday 😍 And I’m getting a present, as well 🥰 Thx Jackie 🤗
