*creeps in all ninja style* Comment sneak attack begins now. I hope you're ready.
Oh, Kev. He really is something of a mess over Paula, isn't he? I seriously can picture him up late nights at his computer making mixes that remind him of Paula. It's both sad and charming, dear boy.
I do love those scenes in Nocebo. He's such an absolute mess at the idea of anything happening to her and yet so afraid to show that to anyone. (And, I need to confirm this in our rewatch but I'm pretty sure there's a scene where Tony looks at Kev like he absolutely gets it and sympathizes. Your mad Paula love has not escaped Tony's notice, Kevin.)
And I don't know if we yammered on about it at appropriate length during 4.02 because there was so much else going on but I also love the way Kev hugs Paula and tells her it's okay when they find her. That scene kills me. Lord, they're gorgeous.

(I'm slowly catching up on replies. Slowly is the key word here.) Now I'm the slow poke. I've made it through the comments that were a week old and am now at 6 days old. Go me!
I wonder if Paula ever makes Kevin mixtapes back? I must know your thoughts on this. I think she might on occasion but not nearly as many as he makes her.
Squee! 5.02! I do love the way Tony covers for Kevin there and the fact that he picked up on it when Alex didn't. (Or maybe Alex is semi-aware but just not as in-tune as Tony is?)
So, Tony knows Paula has a bit of a crush on Alex, he knows Kevin is in love with Paula... the only thing he doesn't know is that Alex is in love with him. Daft sod. Daft sod, indeed. I think part of the reason Tony picks up on the fact that Kevin is falling apart, besides being a brilliant psychologist and all, may be that at this point in season 5 Tony thinks he's in the same boat as Kevin - adoring that friend/coworker you think you'll never have. Poor boys.

I don't honestly know about Paula and the mixtapes. I don't quite see it as her style. In fact I can imagine her not really being into music much at all, and Kevin getting all frustrated with her because she just rolls her eyes and sighs and just doesn't understand how much of a seminal influence the Manic Street Preachers were on the music industry in the 1990s. Oh wait. I think that's actually me talking to you

I was just rewatching the series and falling in love with Paula and Kevin all over again, and figured that I would give google a shot to see if there was anything for them online (there really isn't), and I stumbled upon your post here.
I completely agree with your take on Kevin, though I have a slightly different take on Paula. For me it's not that Paula would never see Kevin as a potential lover, but that Paula is the type of girl who wouldn't let herself think about someone she works with like that, but if he ever told her how he felt then she would fall hard.
Thank you for the music! And sorry for just dropping in out of no where.
It's totally criminal, isn't it, the lack of Kevin and Paula or indeed Kevin/Paula out there. I adore them both, utterly.
In a way I agree with you, because I tend to swing violently between really enjoying angsty, unrequitedly-in love!Kevin, and thinking that yes, if he ever did tell her, that she would have a total lightbulb moment and throw herself at him like a crazy person. Both options work for me. I guess I'm easily pleased.
You're so welcome, and I hope you enjoy it! And no need to apologise, I'm always open to randomness. I've been contemplating writing some Kevin-hanging-out-with-Tony fic recently, so you never know when Kev might pop up again around here.
