Subtext: Again, SKAM does the dual dialogue thing it loves so much. Eskild is talking about the closeted guy from Grindr he’s going to hook up with, but his comment applies 100% to Isak.



Blink and you miss it: Julian Dahl has signed up for Kosegruppa. Stalker.



Blink and you miss it: The video by Mikael is from September 2014 when both him and Even had just started their second year. Mikael is in 2MKD at Elvebakken, which means he’s studying Media and Communication, while Even is doing college prep in 2STD. But if Even was a second-year in 2014, he should have graduated spring 2016, so already here is our first hint that he has missed a year of school for some reason.



Subtext: No, Vilde’s mom is not having friends over for wine. She’s recycling an excuse Chris used back in season 1.



Blink and you miss it: Isak looks scared again for a moment, because he thought he could keep his chat with Vilde a secret from the other guys, but here they come, and now he has to explain why he’s invested in Kosegruppa all of a sudden.



Culture: The piece of music that starts playing as Isak watches Even walk across the schoolyard is Talk Show Host by Radiohead. In Baz Luhrman’s Romeo+Juliet, this song plays the first time we get to see Romeo.



Cinematography: We can see Emma coming towards Isak, but his focus is 100% on Even, so the camera’s focus is also 100% on Even. He’s so uninterested in Emma that she’s just some blur in his field of vision.



Blink and you miss it: Magnus actually checks out Vilde up and down before graciously offering himself up to her.



Lost in translation: Nøkkelost, literally “Key cheese”, is the Norwegian name for cumin cheese, so their little word play on forgetting keys and cheese is completely untranslatable.



Culture: Pottagaldrar is an Icelandic spice brand, not a kind of spice: https://www.pottagaldrar.is/
