# don’t call him evil already please?? bonus:
This is officially the season where they go “we never meant to be a teen show!” Cause who under 40 knows who the hell Mark Spitz is?
Bigger question: How does Mercedes Jones know who he is?
Because maybe Mercedes is a sports fan, or just paid half a lick of attention during the past two Summer Olympics, when Michael Phelps’ name could not be said without the echo of “Mark Spitz”.
I guess this makes Tina Michael Phelps?
Most likely the same way she knows about True Detective?
I started hearing more about Michael Phelps in 2012 because that was after the World Championship and right before the Summer Olympics. That puts us around S3. Gee, I wonder who Mercedes had a big arc with in S3 that was associated with swimming?
I don’t want to go down with my ship. I want my ship to go down on each other.
nobody cares about this character but me so i have to adore them TWICE AS HARD: my life me
