i apologize for any errors in advance, i speak spanish native to latin america, so i’m not 100% familiar with spanish slang used in spain

joana’s mom: joana has talked so much about you.
cris: how is she?
joana’s mom: more or less.

Disclaimer: THEY SPEAK FAST! Not everything is perfect, but hopefully, this will suffice until the subtitles are out.
Eva: Today they kept telling us again and again, in English AND in Physics that “OH this is the most important year of your lives, this is the year you decide your future.” And let me tell you it”s so annoying
Nora: In the United States they do this thing where you take a year to think over things
Amira: I tell that to my parents and they’d send me to Morocco with one (Spanish currency) Ah Viri don’t get mad, It was just a joke.
Viri: No, yeah, ahaha
Eva: Well, apart from thinking things over, what do they do? Like, what else would they do? Drink?
Nora: No, girl, look, they travel, see the world, I don’t know, they work? I don’t know, but I’m thinking about it.
Cris: Girl, please bring me with you
Viri: I don’t know girl, look, you’d come back and the court letter doesn’t go through and you have to take the exams again and your friends will be in another grade.
Cris: Viri, for real, you are expert of taking the fun out of everything
Miquel: Nora?
Nora: Um, Hi?
Miquel: Hello
Nora: He’s a friend of my sister’s
Miquel and Eva: Hello, etc.
Nora: Did Emma tell you I would be here today?
Miquel: No, I saw on your insta, I was going to comment you something but I figured, better in person. And since Saturday went so fast I didn’t have time to tell you about the theatre.
Miquel: The tickets I told you about. I had to insist a lot but, in the end, he owed me a favor and I was able to get them (’m sorry I can’t really understand what he said here, but It’s nothing major)
Miquel: You can go with whoever you want to
Nora: Thanks
Miquel: You’re Welcome. Well, you’ll tell me about it? Bye!
Nora: Wait, Miquel. I just, I feel bad. These were so hard for you to get, and, better you go with someone.
Miquel: Come with me?
Nora: I just want to see the musical.
Miquel: And me?
Nora: Fine, okay, yes
Miquel: Yes, it’s at 8:30. We’ll meet at 8:15? Yes?
Nora: Yeah.
Miquel: Ok great. Bye!
Girls: Nooooooo! Nora!
Eva: You’ve hooked up!
Girls: hahahaha (little sayings)
One thing that always struck me was the way in which they kind of gave the balloon squad a backstory that didn't really like link up to the previous seasons. It felt weird that Sana was just now feeling interest/getting to know Yousef seeing as he was supposedly her brother's best friend for a long time. Also, the subplot with Even feels a little bit tacked on in the sense that it makes all of Sana's interactions with Even and Isak in season 3 feel a little false. But I do think that the dynamic between Sana and Elias felt very real and there seems to be a genuine care that's well balanced with any differences they have. I also hateeeee the subplot with Noora and Yousef!!! I think there's too many attempts to connect Sana's narrative with other characters for fan service and that always rubbed be the wrong way.
Answer some or all of one of the following questions:
Does the dynamic between Elias and Sana feel like an accurate sibling relationship?
What are your thoughts/ feelings on his friend group (dubbed by fandom as 'the balloon squad')?
How does this group compare to/ mesh with the existing boy squad + girl squad?
We’re not best buds. Seriously? We’re buds. Okay, we’re buds.
Best buds.
