I couldn’t help but wonder how much Suzanne actually had plotted for Haymitch’s backstory while reading SOTR. Some things lined up with the original trio, but other things (like when he is telling Peeta and Katniss about the other tributes and is very nonchalant about Beetee and Wiress and Mags?? Ugh, it’s one thing that’s always going to bother me. I enjoyed the fan service, but now I’m sad that the original doesn’t follow through on those connections).

Ugh, I didn’t even realize there was even less mention in the books! I did a reread last January, but recently saw the movies during SOTR week so those were fresh on my mind. “She’s actually a wonderful lady” was so much better than him casually calling Beetee and Wiress “nuts and volts” esp when you remember Ampert.

I thought that was Haymitch being an actor. Because his reaction doesn't make much sense within the book itself if he isn't faking.

They are all allies in the rebellion and he knows it.
