Leveling UpYes, you’ve read the synopsis ten times just to make sure you caught all the subtext. And maybe occasionally looked at a close-up of the author’s face — just to see what their facial expressions said about the plot. But you’re not going to tell anyone about it.

After watching that one scene for the hundredth time, the line repeated two seasons later totally makes sense! Did anyone else catch how the lead said
