don't think anyone's accusing Nate of being a saint

Guys, I just don't know about this Nate fellow. Something's off about him if you ask me

EL BROMANCE posted:Just out of curiosity, when was this element supposed to be obvious to the audience? The way the episode summaries are written on Wiki etc mention it in the first episode, but I don't recall seeing anything that obviously pointed to her being trans until they did her flashback episode. Just curious if I missed a piece of dialog or something pointing to it. Episode 1, At the motel, Cal talks to her about his struggle/being closeted which would make no sense if Jules was cis. Cal's whole story is American Beauty but better by 200%. Rue almost getting turnt out was heavy. I've been in and out of NA a couple decades and almost nearly every woman, especially opiate addicts, will tell you that trading sex is part of their story. Men get clean when they run out of poo poo to steal or the criming catches up with them. Women have that one last resource before rock bottom.

Why is Aaron the fuckup ? Dude is a little old to be living at home and likes some weird porn. Pretty minor compared to the rest of the household...

Yeah I didn't even realize Laurie was essentially grooming her into sex trafficking til after that episode ended. The way she was so nonchalant about it/casually shooting her up was terrifying and the pans over to the padlocked basement door are very creepy in retrospect

VagueRant posted:A part of me wishes the show had completely gone there, as long as they handled it sensitively. I feel like they could address that reality and explore that, but it felt like they just wanted to dip their toe in the themes and wouldn't go that far with Rue/Zendaya. Like an audience would judge trading sex as so much morally repulsive than anything else she's done. But she wouldn't be "trading sex". She would have been locked in a basement and kept hooked on IV heroin. It would not really be something she was willingly choosing.

True, but I still think that would be an interesting topic for a piece of fiction to sympathetically cover. And audiences are hosed up enough to still think less of the character/actress for that. 'Willingly choosing' is also kind of a complicated phrase from an addict's perspective, even without Laurie's injections and padlocks - I mean I'm not expecting glowing sex worker positivity from that particular situation either way. Equally not sure this show could or should handle something like that. I don't even feel super comfortable posting about it, just felt like the show backed down and shied away from something real.

I have a feeling the Laurie angle is going to be the focus of the last few episodes because Rue can't just pull 10 grand out of her rear end and they've put a lot of work into making Laurie a subtle, but noticeable menace.

Casting that play must have been either super loving easy or incredibly difficult. Open call for anybody who sorta looks like and has the same body type as Cassie, Kat, Maddie, and uh.... I guess a guy too. Yeah any guy will do nobody cares.

I was real confused by the random shots of Kat doing her pornhub thing being mixed in with the Cass/Nate stuff but someone explained it as contrasting both girls performing for men, which seems to track.

really loved the surreal blurring-the-lines-between-theatre-and-reality stuff in this episode. this is a sentence i didn't expect to say about euphoria, but it reminded me of perfect blue, or at least the disoriented tense feeling i get watching perfect blue. also absolutely popped for the loving cannibal holocaust theme song over the ending, the soundtrack choices this season have been incredible just between that, the inxs stuff with cal, and my absolute favorite sade song "you're not the man" in one of the last few episodes. stoked and terrified for the ending, my spidey sense makes me think they're gonna make something horrible happen to fezco but i'm hoping i'm wrong.

I wonder if "here's that dress of mine I saw you wear" is all that clock camera is gonna amount to. drat I can't believe this is the season finale already. Lots of stuff still left hanging.

Pretty good troll job to have me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens to Fez and then just have a 6 minute long homoerotic dance sequence. Please do the right thing Faye, don’t let my boy Fez get taken down!

I truly cannot tell if this is a bad soap opera mess of a show that's occasionally accidentally really good (episode 5 of season 2, the Rue special), and really stylish (rotating hallway shot, dickpick presentation, detective Rue) or if it's a good show with a point and a purpose that's just overly self-indulgent on pacing and musical numbers and Riverdale-level drama and is actually going to pay things off.TheBizzness posted:Yeah he loving owns
