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."

Q&A with Alex Rider Screenwriter, Guy Burt 🦂

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 🥲

Sharing here for those not on Twitter!

Yes please!

I know, it goes against the expectation that Alex would stay away from MI6 if given a chance, or that they are the bad guys (which they were for the first two seasons before doing a 180 in season 3). But I would love to see Alex Rider, student spy, who is respected, supported and paid for his services while loving what he does, at least in principle if not at every moment. Non-depressed, cocky, competent Alex dealing with baddies with a quip on his lips - who would not like to watch that for, oh, maybe 5 seasons or so until he's done with uni?

Alex Rider & Yassen Gregorovich - First & Last Meetings Per Season

[therokoko]

i think it's so interesting how different book!yassen and tv!yassen are.

first off how book!yassen sent alex to scorpia, it was a mistake because he wasn't thinking clearly. tv!yassen did it on purpose (to the best of my knowledge).

book!yassen did not want alex to kill. he tells him this twice, “killing is for grown ups.” and asking alex if he can really pull the trigger and shoot him, when alex breaks into the boat during eagle strike. going into great detail to dissuade alex from doing it, and all of me believes not just because yassen didn't want to die in this moment. this makes sense for book!yassen because he himself didn't want to kill. so he's trying to save alex from his own fate.

tv!show yassen doesn't seem to have any issues with killing. he doesn't particularly enjoy it, but it's his job and he does what he has to do so he can survive. so he's okay with encouraging alex to do it. by telling him he should view the people he's assigned to assassinate as nothing more than targets. tricking him into helping assassinate max. encouraging him to let go of his emotions. he wants alex to join him by his side.

ultimately while their methods are different, their end goals are the same. they both want to protect alex. book!yassen thinks he can achieve this by pushing alex away, and tv!show yassen thinks he can achieve this by pulling alex in closer. and both work because they're so compelling.
