Regarding the All Star game, they've played All Star Games in the past but the MLH always organized them so that Shane and Ilya were on opposite teams to play into the rivalry for views. So this is the first time in their careers that they played on the same team for the All Star Game.

Yay! I've been waiting all day for this to be posted, I'm loving your reactions to this show. There is so much great stuff in this episode but thought I would focus on Scott and Kip. I've been told the timeline is different in the book but here they are together just before the 2014 Olympics and Scott wins the cup in 2017 so it's a really long time. On first watch I thought they broke up at the end of Episode 3 but really all Kip said was he was going home that night. Although he seemed to be at Scott's place all the time I don't think he was actually living there so going home to see his Dad and have some time and space away from Scott wasn't that odd and certainly didn't mean they ended things. I also don't think Scott would have found Kip in the huge crowd unless he was sitting in Scott's seats and it would have been pretty presumptuous to think Kip had been waiting for three years if they weren't still together. And I think you missed that Kip's Dad was sitting next to Kip at the game. Also you definitely aren't imagining things with the team logos, Jacob Tierney has confirmed it was deliberate.

Kip's dad was sitting next to him actually. On the right. Ahh! I just love this show so much. Ilya's monologue was so powerful as well as that whole last part. It always gets me so emotional watching it. Well, watching the whole show does. Haha

Shane and Ilya's ship name is indeed Hollanov! There's a funny moment from the premier where Ilya's actor Connor tried to pitch Shilya to a crowd and they were NOT a fan lol Afaik the issue Shane was having regarding sex with Rose was more on the finishing end than the start. I think it helps that their relationship clearly hasn't been going on for very long, like a couple months a most. There's not as much to lose on Rose's end so I think she's able to accept this even more easily than just because she's a good person. Kip's dad was there next to Kip actually! If you go back you can see hos shocked and confused face when Scott calls Kip down.

Yeah the show gives several clues that Scott and Kip hit a bump in the road but that they are still together. Scott knew where they were. It’s the same location that was better than the company seats Eliana could get. And no way could they afford playoff tickets for three. Dad being there gives some indication that he is also aware they are dating. When she says he can be sad, it’s because he’s not in the family group that gets to flood the rink after the game.

Be sure to remember the social media comment that both Shane and Ilya read that says "Shane looks like he would carry her bags, her hopes, her dreams, her entire life."

Shane, happy in his hospital bed: "Ilya!" Eric: "How high are you?!" Me: "No, it's 'Hi, how are you?'"

I discovered your youtube and patreon today and devoured your HR series. Thank you for sharing and can't wait to see what you think about the cottage!

Also, the logos were designed to be ... suggestive per Jacob Tierney.

EricReacts

Aw man I totally missed him! Would have been fun to see more of a reaction from him haha

EricReacts

Oh that makes sense! I think I remember with them switching up the Pro Bowl in the NFL at some point in a similar way.

EricReacts

The fact that they were still dating all this time definitely changes my perspective on things... Kip deserved sunshine and wasn't getting it, but they're both getting it now T_T Lmao the logos are hilarious

EricReacts

haha oh no Shilya. Glad Rose handled it with such grace and equanimity!

EricReacts

Welcome! And thanks for enjoying it so far :)

Hi Kelsey, how are you? Like that? 😁

Scott & Kip have their own book, Game Changer ( 1st book in this series); it is significantly different than the TV show. Jacob Tierney liked the second book in the series, Heated Rivalry, but needed to include Scott & Kip because of the impact they had on them by coming out. In the book, Scott & Kip meet in January of 2017. They have a fight end of April, during the playoffs, but they reconcile within a week with Scott choosing to come out publicly in the summer, after the playoffs were done (so as not to be a distraction to the team during the playoffs). The Scott & Kip as episode 3 serves as a comparison and transition in the Shane and Ilya story, but it sure screws up Scott & Kipp’s story.

Kips dad is actually sitting next to him at the end!!

This was such a big episode! I'm reading the books now, and they are GOOD. Ilya was so concerned for Shane, and my heart just broke for him cause his dad just died. Also Conner learned the Russian in the show in a couple of weeks, from what I heard. That monologue was beautiful, and so well acted. This episode is really what made me really like Ilya. The ending made me cry, as it brought hope for both of them. Conner's acting in that moment, was fantastic. He was dumfounded that someone could do this, and be met with cheers , instead of ridicule. I'm half Canadian, so I love thow this show is presenting how they are with lgbtq community. I have thought about moving there, most recently, honestly, lol e. Oh, and I LOVED the little interactions with Ilya and the young hockey players. Just the idea of them being parents is cute. There was a meme talking about how intense of sports parents they'd be for their kids peewwee games haha.

WILD that it took just a couple of weeks to speak so fluently! He must have really dedicated himself to the craft

Natasha G

You are right about thst. I love the description of what happened “ Connor Storrie did not speak Russian before landing his role as Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry. While he had an interest in linguistics—having tried to learn the alphabet and listen to Russian rap in the past—he was not fluent. He learned his dialogue by studying with a dialect coach in a matter of weeks prior to and during filming.Storrie's commitment was so intense that he spoke in his Russian accent even outside of filming, to the point that he completely fooled native Russian speakers”

Just jumping in. I’m new here. Long-time viewer, first-time subscriber. (Actually just joined your YouTube, but cancelled when I realized I should have joined Patreon instead). In the book, Scott did meet Kip’s parents (including Mom) and there were already plans for Scott to come out that Kip already knew about. So I agree with Mark Wood, that it feels like they did stay together. Which makes more sense than if they didn’t.

EricReacts

Welcome SirEdge! Yeah, I've been convinced!

And here it is... the episode that changed everything. Up to this point, I felt I was watching an excellent show with characters I cared about but who frustrated me. Episode 5 set a new bar...it had everything I wanted times one hundred. It was the emotional equivalent of the ending of The Sixth Sense, or Dorothy walking out the door into a Technicolor Oz, or the appearance of the Mothership in Close Encounters. I sat in my chair sobbing with happiness for a half hour after my first viewing of this. Like you I anticipated something like this, but rather than spoiling the experience it enhanced it and inspired me greatly.

EricReacts

Yes, the best feeling for me is when I'm already anticipation something great but it just breaks all my expectations anyway!
