The ending of the last episode was so cute :)


When they guys, Eleven, and Max were dancing at the school dance! It was adorable to see! Just saying :)

It was awkwardly cute as well as wonderfully acted.

Plus “Every Breath You Take” playing only made the ending that much better and... beautiful. 🙂

It was the perfect song for our two young couples, and for that menacing final shot too. Every move you make, every breath you take, I'll be watching you ...

Very true. It’s a beautiful sounding song with a not-so-romantic meaning behind it, so it was certainly perfect for the lovely dance and the ominous final shot (the lyrics say it all).

I always got the impression from that song that this was a guy who lost the love of his life, but still saw her all the time and couldn't stop thinking about her, hoping someday maybe he'd get her back. It never seemed (at least in my opinion) to have a psycho stalker vibe about it. He just sounds heartbroken. Although with a more agitated tone of voice the same words could definitely convey a darker picture.

Yeah, I started getting a stalker vibe the more I listened to it. 🙂 The song’s been interpreted in several different ways, that’s for sure.

If you wanna take Sting’s word for it, he has said a few times that he finds it amusing how people believe it’s a love song. He sees it as more sinister himself. He mentioned it was about obsession and jealousy over a loss lover. He even claimed he had big brother and surveillance in mind when he wrote it. Great use of the song either way.

Interesting. So he did have in mind a guy who was following his ex around town, watching her every move. I guess because it's such a lovely song I wanted to give it the most innocent interpretation possible.

Whoever put together the soundtrack for this show did a great job. Most of the songs were perfect for the scenes they accompanied.

One of the most perfect endings to any tv show or movie ever. Swoon!! 😍💜

Everything to do with the snowball was wonderful, absolutely. Poignant, heartwarming, fleeting. I want season 3 to offer more of those vibes as I feel some of the other moments winding down season 2 felt a little rushed.
