Episode 6. Finally!
Thoughts, comments, questions... here we go!
"August, we expect you not to cause problems" ..... August: Causes more problems to cover up his past problems...
I just realized that for August to talk to Alex about him taking the blame for the video, August would have had to explain what happened and what he did in that situation. I want to know what Alex is reaction was to hearing that from August, if he asked him why he did it, if he expected something like that from August. I see Alex as someone with decent morals, and someone who wouldn't go along with letting someone who broke the law get away with it. I know some of it's messed up because of all the stuff that went on with the drugs and Wille in the first season but, I really don't think he would have gone along with August.
As much as I hate Marcus for being controlling and manipulative, he is obviously hurt during their final talk, I don't think he ever understood how wrong he was in those situations.....
I find it interesting how August is talking about Alex taking the blame for the video being the action that would cause the least destruction.... that Alex is okay with this plan? However that was Wille's thinking in the drug situation that got Alex expelled. It makes sense that Alex feels betrayed because he wasn't in on that decision in the first place but, I honestly think that Alex would understand if Wille talked to him and explained why he made that decision.
On another note, I've seen a lot of posts discussing why Alex agreed to August plan. I think part of the agreement relied on the fact that August (and Alex) believed that if Wille and Simon knew that Alex would take the blame and especially that August would have no repercussions for his actions yet again, then they wouldn't see a point in going to the police. After what happened in the first season, I don't think Wille would want to put the blame on Alex for something he didn't do a second time.
The pill bottle August holds up apparently has Simon and Sara's dad's name on it. Sara obviously saw this when she was in August's room with him... I wonder if she thought that Micke was out selling his own prescription drugs to get another means for a high. I mean it definitely should have triggered her somehow, to be like "what the fuck August" but, I could definitely see her automatically placing the blame on their dad over believing that Simon had something to do with it, even after Simon "betrayed" Sara by seeing Micke in the first season.
From the look on Alex's face I really don't think he realized what he agreed to with August.
When Sara says, I *was* in love with him. You can see the hurt and confusion in August's face.
I very much enjoy August's fear when Wille picks up the gun, and the hurt he seems to feel when Sara walks away from, but he so quickly goes back to being happy and "I'm gonna be Prince"
I enjoy the fact that August looks so much like an after thought in the lineup they create for the photos. It would be better if he wasn't in the line up though...
The cinematography in the scene where Felice and Sara are fighting in their room does such a good job of making Sara look child-like and naive, like she has just been scolded by her mother and doesn't understand what she did wrong.
How long did Simon spend facetiming with Ayub the night before the ceremony?
As much as Felice was mad at Sara, it looks like she was ready to make nice at least the morning of the ceremony when she saw her uniform hanning on the door.
Rousseau deserves better.... That is all.
Wille's sigh of relief when Simon says he wants to be with him. I felt that in my bones.
Fucking Jan-Olaf ruining such a sweet moment between the boys. 🤬
I do appreciate Kristina's sly smirk at Jan-Olaf when Wille gets up to speak right after he told August he would be doing it.
I do find it interesting that Jan-Olaf and Kristina don't try to stop the press and videoing of Wille's speech when he went off script, only when he confessed to being in the sex video. It seems like they should have a issue with someone bashing tradition, especially the Crown Prince.
I kinda want to know what the rest of the Wille's speach was suppose to be.
Saw lots of post talking about how proud Boris looks when Wille is giving the speech and goes off script. I don't really see that... I see Boris chewing his nails in anxiety thinking "shit... didn't mean for this to happen... they're definitely gonna blame me... well I guess I'm losing my job..."
What is up with Wille's dad.... He seems very out of the loop. Like he doesn't understand what is going on with Wille at all. Does he even know about Simon before the speech? Does Wille talk to him ever? There is literally no on screen relationship between the two in either season.... You would think that they would be really close considering that Erik and the Queen would've spent more time together being the Queen and the Crown Prince, leaving them to fend for themselves.... Idk
