#AlexRider

[freckled-forests]

Alex Rider is a good show because the core trio is so evenly balanced Alex can DO the stuff and Kyra can THINK and HACK the stuff and Tom holds EVERY OUNCE OF COMMON SENSE

The way Alex's demeanor shifts the second Blunt enters the apartment is such an amazing detail. Because maybe minutes before he was trying to not completely break down with Mrs Jones but the second Blunt walks in Alex is calm and defiant. The sneer he gives Blunt in that moment is so telling of how Alex feels about Blunt. We all keep talking about how important it was for everyone else to treat Alex the way they did but no I haven't seen anyone talk about how Blunt treated him.

From the beginning Blunt was harsh and used every dirty trick in the book to get Alex to do what he wanted. But for the first time Blunt is finally faced with actual repercussions for not listening to Alex or anyone else. Because Scorpia is killing anyone they want just to make a point and Alex is working with them. And then when they get a hold of Alex Blunt but no choice but to be honest.

He couldn't manipulate or force Alex into anything, he was literally begging Alex for any answers he could give because he was truly desperate, and that I think also helped Alex just as much as the kindness and grief everyone else felt for him. Because it forced him to really look past his anger for how Blunt had treated him and the anger for the deaths of Ian and his father, because for the first time Blunt had to treat him like a person and it helped break Alex out of his spiral just as much as everyone else did.

This is also why I felt like the ending fit so well. In the end Blunt had no choice but to finally trust Alex completely and tell him the truth, and honestly I think Blunt realized that his lies and his pride were part of the reason that not only did Scorpia grow back but Alex was so easily caught in their web. I also think that in the end he knew he wouldn't be able to ever tell the whole truth to anyone like he needed to, so in order for the department to do what it needed to and for Alex to stay on the right path he had to leave.

I just realised something.

Julius Grief was originally meant to kill and replace Alex in Point Blanc, but the COMPLETE OPPOSITE HAPPENS.

Alex kills Julius in Scorpia Rising and ends up replacing him in Nightshade at Gilbraltar.

BYE that's so sad I'm going to go cry now that whole thing was shocking

Alex/Kyra | I'd Come For You

Hey guys! 🌟

At first I did not expect myself to ship Kyralex, but after the last two episodes of the show, it was so hard to resist!!! (I think this is a running theme for me to wait until the finale to jump on board a ship 💀 ex: Merthur)

I hope you enjoy!

Picturesque skyline, the blue Mediterranean sky, speedboats - looks like a Bond movie allright.

Alex Rider – The Shot

[therokoko]

The best ending we could have hoped for. Everyone is in the best place possible without it feeling contrived. Guy Burt is a genius.

"Alex, you okay?" "Yeah, just thought I heard something."

Alex: I feel so terrible, in the time I spend with Scorpia I ...broke into like two houses.

Kyra: THATS NOT EVEN A CRIME

Jack, The Lawyer:

So one thing they did in season three that I find so interesting is how they set up parallels between Mrs Jones and Julia Rothman. Because when you actually pay attention to their interactions with Alex you realize that it's actually Blunt that is similar to Julia and Yassen that is similar to Mrs Jones.

Rothman and Blunt were both so caught up in their own egos and obsessions that they didn't recognize how reckless their actions were when it came to how they ran their organizations and how they used Alex.

They both saw Alex as a piece on the board. Something they could use to get what they wanted, they both let their anger and pride get in the way of rational decisions when it came to certain decisions.

Then on the flip side you have Yassen and Mrs Jones. Mrs Jones was always concerned about Alex but until season three never really fought back for him or herself until she saw how easily Scorpia was able to get to Alex. Yassen tried to keep himself separated from Alex, he didn't want to help or see him, and then in season three he has no choice so he tries to teach Alex how to be like him.

It is so interesting because Mrs Jones is supposed to be the deputy of the department but we see in season one and two that Blunt keeps things from her that he doesn't from Crowley or Smithers because he knows she will question him about it.

This is similar to Yassen because when watching season three, at first it seems like Yassen is Julia's deputy but it becomes clear he isn't because he doesn't just follow blindly.

Season three was the turning point for three of these characters, both Yassen and Mrs Jones had to decide where they stood when it came to Alex and their respective bosses. In the end Mrs Jones chose to defend and support Alex and Yassen chose to hide in the shadows and offer protection.

Blunt had to choose to trust Alex and stop using his people like chess pieces in a game he didn't understand. This is why he is the actual parallel to Julia, because when it came down to it Julia chose to use Alex to get her own petty revenge and Blunt chose to put his revenge aside to help Alex and save innocent people.

I sent Guy Burt (screenwriter/adapter/executive producer of the Alex Rider tv series) a load of questions hoping he may choose a few to answer and he VERY kindly answered them all! Incredibly grateful he took the time to do so 🥲
