My angry murder child is back! I love him so much. Although if they're planning on multiple more seasons, they might have to accept he's getting older and have Five age up a little too!

	The murder baby! I have idle theories on how they can make that work based on Five doing A Big Selfish. But I'm definitely going to download these and probably at least attempt to make icons. His facial expressions are just so great in this season! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah I just think it's going to come up now that they're probably not going to be able to shoot any time soon? Maybe next year, but not this year and he's already 16. So he might be 17/18 the next time they shoot and you know, not even close to 13. I mean it wouldn't be that hard to have some time kerfuffle and send him off and bring him back a little aged up lol (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I think it's an easy enough thing to address with "lol time kerfuffles" as much as I don't like time travel as a "fix it button" without consequences, but TUA at least addresses consequences to mucking things up. Like with the multiple spoiler events there in s2. I know Aidan's gonna be 17 way too soon for him to be 13 still as Five, and even though he's young, you can see he's grown up so much in just the span of a year/year and a half between shooting s1 and s2. At some point he's probably gonna hit another growth spurt, too... Yeah they just will have to "time kerfuffle" it, but I think there's some idle background work that's been set up that can help with that. And there's just no way they didn't think about this when casting given kids do that weird thing where they grow up.

Anyway! I really hope s3 will be confirmed sooner rather than later, and sorry to just like random word dump on you lol Thanks so much for capping this show! And dividing it by the actors! :D

Yeah they did a good job with shooting him so he mostly looks the same, but I'm pretty sure they had to do some tricks because he's taller and he doesn't look 13. I think we'd all roll with a simple explanation with time travel or whatever. We already roll our eyes about 26 year olds playing 16 years olds, but it's definitely different if a character is 13 because that's supposed to be pre-pubescent. They have a chill fandom though. We'll understand! Just time yadda yadda it.

He was leaning a LOT in scenes, and I was like, "It's cause he grew like a few inches, isn't it?" And even THAT I can handwave as "time travel's complicated and does weird things to your body and he already done goofed a few times so he might have again". I think all they have to do is go "wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff," and the fandom would go, "This tracks." I think the fandom finds it far harder to believe not one of them slipped in the bowling alley on the lanes in bowling shoes than just about anything else in the show lmaoo Even a kid bumming alcohol and hanging out in a night club is more "seems legit" than all of them running perfect down down bowling lanes in bowling shoes lol

LOL TRUTH. And tbf we've all seen what happens when you cast kids and know how it has to shift for that. If you don't have a plan than LOST happens and you're like oh fuck have to write the kid off. I'm sure this is something they have considered. Especially with in this season him learning more about how to "slowly" move through time rather than jumping entire decades. Maybe he just experiments on himself and ages to 18. easy peasy.

That and the equations are exactly what I thought about in terms of "LOOK HE GOT OLDER". Five just thinks he got the equations right and maybe he did. Maybe he did't. But he can also slip through time a bit more easily. Maybe tries to work on "fixing" his body or it's otherwise waved off as him messing around to learn more. In the process he's like, "Well, guess who's functionally immortal! No, not you, Klaus. Shut up." Bing bang boom it's all done.

But agreed. This isn't something they can't have thought about knowing that, if nothing else, the comics are going to be 8 volumes long, so Netflix is likely to greenlight more than one or two seasons. They already planted the "I'll give you the right math" thing. So it's there. In their minds.
