So Harper has the hots for Rob and she resents the heck out of Yasmin because he "prefers" her. Eric is a psycho. I miss Venetia. I found her interesting going back to her first appearance on the recruiting episode. Plus she was stunningly beautiful.

I absolutely hated the character of Tedros. A rotten human being in so many regards. True scum. A legend in his own mind. In his attempt to be a musical genius, he is truly just a clown. He makes Dewey from the movie Bandslam look like Jimmy Iovine. It was great to see him crash and burn in the last episode. Even in the very end, when Jocelyn brought him on stage and declared him the love of her life, did you notice how he remained a beaten man and didn't revert to his old self in that moment? He is permanently destroyed. The icing on the cake was when Jocelyn, in front of 80,000 people, ordered him to "stand over there". That was fun to see. Abel received a lot of criticism that he didn't deserve. He portrayed a rotten, evil character and he did it effectively. He was acting. His acting in the last episode as a broken man, was excellent. Abel shouldn't be criticized for the repugnance of his character and it would really be ridiculous for a fan of the Weekend to see him as his fictional character. I have gained a lot of respect for him, as someone who only vaguely knew of him before the show. I thought Lily Rose was outstanding as well...again portraying a character that is less than loveable. She is truly a beautiful woman as well. I look forward to seeing her in other roles in the future.

I completely thought that the actress who played Blair Quon was Amber Midthunder, but it wasn't. She looked just like her.

I hope that Jaskaran plays in the Tournament of Champions, since the Professors Tournament winner will be there. No one mentioned anything about that.

This show has an interesting (and narrow) timeline. If you remember, season one started in summer, right before the start of school. Rue was born a day after 9/11/2001 and she is 17. That makes the beginning of Season 1 right around Rue's 17th birthday, September of 2018. The season progresses in the fall of 2018 and ends right before Christmas of 2018. Remember the special two episodes between seasons that featured Rue, Ali and Jules were set during the Christmas holidays. Remember that Season 2 Episode 1 was on New Years Eve, going into 2019. In the newest episode, a close up shot of a cellphone had the date of February 17th. I don't remember if there was a year there, but it would obviously be February 17th of 2019. So the entire arc of the Euphoria story from S1 E1 through the most recent episode is only a period of 4.5 to 5 months, from Aug/Sept of 2018 to February of 2019. What is amazing is that the show premiered in June of 2019, which will be THREE years four months from now. There was a huge amount of time from the filming of seasons one and two. It's a really good thing that the actors playing these teens are in their 20's, so there is no major change in their looks. Not so much for the younger characters. The actors playing Ashtray and Gia look a lot older than they did in season one. Those goofball twins, who I think were related to McKay, haven't appeared at all this season. I'm sure they look substantially older compared to season one as well. February of 2019 is also 13 months before Covid-19. With the current pace of the show, maybe they will get to that by Season 5!!!! If Maddy had ANY intelligence at all, the stunt Nate pulled with the gun should end things once and for all. She should use Rue's, "Your dead to me" line with Nate and have absolutely nothing to do with him going forward. That will not likely happen because she is not smart at all. Wow. Minka Kelly looks absolutely amazing. It was as if a 22-year old Lyla Garrity was dropped into Euphoria.

So Nate says to Jules something to the effect of "I meant everything I said to you"...which I assume are the things he said to her at night, in the park after the carnival in season 1??? Jules said something in response that I didn't quite hear...was it "I meant it too"????? Will Nate become fixated with Jules soon? I don't think he has any interest in a "relationship" with Cassie. She's just a toy to him. I absolutely love Lexi. She can do 1000% better than that clown Fez. She has enough rotten people in her life.

I LOVE the use of Gerry Rafferty's song Right Down The Line for the second episode in a row! Great song and used really well in the show. Euphoria always has great music and I love the use of the 70's songs here in the new season!

No one seems to talk about what is going to happen with Shauna's baby? I assume that the baby would be due maybe 7-8 months after the crash, which would be 11-12 months before they are rescued. The chances of the baby surviving birth AND a year of life before rescue would be extremely minimal, I imagine. The baby would not be Callie since she is probably 17, and born 7-8 years after the rescue, though it would be her full sibling. I guess the craziest thing would be for that person to emerge in the modern story as a 24 year old. That would be crazy, though extremely unlikely.

Minka Kelly? Wow, I didn't even recognize her and I was a big FNL fan.

There is no way Nate would survive the beating he received from Fez at the end of the episode. He should be dead. Between the broken glass from the bottle cutting arteries and resulting in massive bleeding. The constant blows to the head which would definitely cause major brain damage and the overall effects of the beating would definitely render him dead. Ashtray killed Mouse with much less of a "beating" than Nate received...a beating that also featured broken glass. Also, keep in mind that injured Nate was in a room full of drunk, wasted, fucked up kids who are in no condition to do the right thing to treat him, or even call the paramedics in a time frame where they could treat/save him. It seemed like Fez was deeply in love with Rue at the end of season one, combined with a sense of guilt that he may feel some responsibility for her drug use (since he was her supplier). I think those factors are why he confronted Nate at the end of Season 1 and (in the aftermath of his bust that Nate was responsible for) beat him in this episode. Honestly, Nate should be dead and Fex should be arrested for murder...but it seems that the show will not lead to either of those things happening. Lexi is my favorite character and I root for her. Being the only character in the show who is not a fuck up, I root for her not to be dragged down into the sewer by her screwed up mother and all the other rotten people who she's surrounded by. Getting mixed up with Fez would be a huge mistake.

Both of them are way out of his league. They could do a lot better than that clown.

Hopefully it won't take a year and a half, like Euphoria.

I found it interesting that in pictures of the young actress who plays Shauna (who is Canadian), she has blue or green eyes. In the show, she has brown eyes, likely to match Melanie Lynskey. I think the younger actress looks amazing with brown eyes and it really makes her resemble the adult actress, in addition to the mirroring of speaking patterns and facial expressions that you mentioned. They match much better than the other three pairs of actresses. I am confused about Juliette Lewis playing adult Natalie. She has this slurred speech way of talking that makes me think of her as a recovering addict who suffered permanant damage. Is that something Juliette Lewis has incorporated into the character, or is that just how the actress really talks? If it's the former, it is an example of great acting. I have no idea.

The actress who plays Mia is the daughter of Josh Brolin, who appeared in the Sicario movies written by Yellowston creator Taylor Sheridan. Lloyd looks like a idiot. Laramie is young enough to be his granddaughter.

I am just new to watching the show and I am up to Season 1, Episode 7, this episode. At this point of the show, I am shocked how rotten a person Devi is. Even the "C" word would be an appropriate description for her. She is selfish, obnoxious, disrespectful, arrogant, narcissistic, and an overall pain in the ass. I have never seen a main character in a coming-of-age show like this be so rotten and unlikeable. It's shocking. Despite all of that, I find the show intriguing and very good, and I will surely continue watching.
