Heartstopper Season 2 Reaction - Episode 5 "Heat"

Gooooood morning beautiful people,

See you in the comments,

Love, always ♄

Heartstopper Season 2 Reaction - Episode 5 "Heat"

Comments

So I’m a bit late to the party, making this comment on Feb 23, 2024. But I swear I am going to riot if Netflix does not renew this for a 4th season. Freaking Grace & Frankie had 7 seasons on Netflix. Alice stated that she wants to do a 4th season plus an epilogue. We better get this. ❀❀

Actually, Will Gao said in an interview they shot all the museum gallery scenes in empty galleries. The other people were added later.

Steve Teeter

The red gallery where Charlie feints, and the portrait of James I that Mr Farouk poses with, are both in Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, so the other people were probably legit extras. I think the fake people Joe was mentioning were in the sculpture gallery where Nick phones his dad. That scene is definitely filmed in the Louvre, and prior to Nick's phone call there are loads of tiny people milling around on the balconies in the background. Then after Nick & Charlie get shouted at and run away, they've all magically vanished

Tom Bendall

It should be noted that a fair amount of the scenes set in the “Louvre” weren’t actually filmed there, since they were extremely limited on time and the amount of people they could bring in. The red gallery scenes for example are filmed at different museums, and the cafe scene was as well. The TaoElle stuff was in the Louvre and so was the Nick and Charlie French scene. I don’t know if anything else was (the Mona Lisa part looked like it could have been a green screen).

Kat

Thank you for that painting easter egg! I hadn’t noticed it before, but you’re so right! What attention to detail!

Kt B

Yes, I feel those vibes!

Kt B

Agreed!

Kt B

Had no idea! That’s hilarious!

Kt B

Oh, that observation about Ben is so insightful! I understood all that subconsciously, but when you articulated it, it just snapped everything into focus!

Kt B

I've seen a video of Joe and Kit reacting to S2 scenes. For the Louvre, they commented that it was weird seeing people with them in the museum. Evidently the building was closed when they shot so just the cast was present. The background crowd was added in post.

Mark Edwards

It took me until I was watching another reaction video yesterday to realize that the painting Elle was looking at was the inspiration for her painting. I don’t know why it took me so long for that to kick in, except maybe that the two things are three episodes apart from each other.

Lane Wright

Love the fact they renamed the metro stop ecolé du couer, otherwise "school of the heart". Just too cute. Hope you didn't look for it in Paris

Trey Cummins

Love this episode, one of my favourites, although ep 6 is my fave episode of the season. It's so good to see Charlie finally starting to open up about how he feels to Nick, it means he knows he can totally trust him. If this little bit got you hard I don't know how you're going to cope with episode 8, just make sure you have a box of tissues to hand 😱

Audrey Gunn

I agree with you there, my favourite episode of the season is episode 6.

Audrey Gunn

I hadn't noticed the similarity with Elle's painting. Well spotted!

Tom Bendall

Yes, the way he says “You jealous?”

Diane Furlong

You’re absolutely right

Diane Furlong

So many little details in this episode that are just so perfect. The little way Nick nudges Elle into going forward with Tao. The painting that Elle is looking at that is the obvious inspiration for her art college application piece The foundation work for Farouk and Ajayi when they are walking up the Eiffel Tower and in the Louve Really just great storytelling. I give it 11 stars out of 5.

Kurt Anderson

I love how proud Nick almost is of the hickey. responding to Tao, Harry and finally Charlie.

Rosie Dickinson

Well, Jackie, you did not disappoint! Thanks so much for a great reaction.

Diane Furlong

Okay, Now I know that they’re just young kids but this line and scene is so sensual. Nick is channeling Cary Grant vibes and my heart can’t take it. 😍”You do know that it was me, right?” 😍 Geez Diane get a grip

Diane Furlong

I’ve said all along what you say here, that with this season every episode just seems to get better and better. And this one is pretty amazing. So far, you are the only person who’s reacted to this episode who has included the young Charlie and Tao scene, and I remember thinking that young Tao would get along quite well with Even Bech Naesheim. 🙂 Not surprisingly, every change that is made from the original comic is made for a purpose, even if that purpose is not immediately obvious. And that’s why I am glad that Alice is the one who wrote the screenplay.

Lane Wright

I'm glad it's not just me that noticed they invented a Metro station and nobody noticed! And then they get out at Pont Neuf station at the start of ep6, literally a 5 minute walk (if that) from the Louvre 😅

Tom Bendall

Also the name of the station being “school of heart” ♄

Frances

Oh my goodness, Jackie. You didn’t waste any time once you got home. It’s 7am and I can watch my favorite episode again. I’ll be back in a few minutes. Oh well, now it’s 8:30 and I haven’t started watching yet. Tick tock, it’s time.

Diane Furlong

I think this is my favourite episode. The ending really got me. The joy, the freedom, their escape holding hands, the song - I am having the same overwhelming feeling of happiness as I had with Alaska playing when they were running upstears at Harry's party. đŸ„°

TomF

Again, love this episode. But now almost dreading how strong your response to episode 8 will be. I was wrecked after watching it and feel for you already. Absolutely love the hints of character we see from Mr Farouk during the Paris trip. Almost my favourite bit.... almost. But there are alot of almost my favourite bits during these episodes.

Jess Thompson

"I don't know who I am without you", Nick and Charlie looking at each other and holding hands, that gets me every time. I love it!! Today I cried and laugh again, watching the episode with you, it was great đŸ„° I'm looking forward to the last 3, I think I'll need many many tissues. Happy Weekend to you from Germany.

Prinsassy

Not too much to say about this episode except that it’s probably my favourite one of season 2 and I am so touched by every interaction between Nick and Charlie. I think you can really feel the close bond between Kit and Joe and they are both such wonderful, sensitive actors.

Graham & Ruth May

Great reaction as ever. Did you spot the little Easter Egg just before the credits? There is an Alice poster on the Metro. Two lovebirds and “S’envoler”. It is seen so briefly. Makes you wonder how many other things you miss.

Andrew Pettitt

It’s quite typical for Ben and his whole demeanor and way of thinking when he sits down with Nick saying stuff like “what if I want him back” or “you stole him from me” or „you got in his head”
. He doesn’t even see Charlie as someone with a free will! Like Nick said “you like having control over him”, that’s exactly what it is. I loved this episode and I can’t wait to watch your reaction to episode 6 cause that’s actually one of my favorites this season (apart from ep. 1,5 and 8) đŸ„°

Frances

Jackie, I have a feeling you will find this tid bit of trivia enjoyable: the guard in the Louve who tells Nick and Charlie 'No' is Euros the Director with his cameo this season. (which also suggests that Patrick will have a cameo in s3 to complete the trio of Alice in s1, Euros in s2...) Also Kit and Joe deserve so much praise, but in this instance especially Kit. I can't get over how naturally he delivers his monologues each time. It never feels prewritten. Comes across like he is forming the thoughts on the spot. Example is how naturally we all felt him about to say 'I love you' with nothing but body language đŸ„°
