  1. That's what I got too. But I'm wondering if it's because it was so close to her freak out and it planted a seed. And I couldn't/can't get a read on Eric's expression.
  2. Team: help me out. I thought something was off in Mr Tanner's: "But if you want something else, I'm here, same as always. I'm here." It didn't feel right to me. Other than that. How's everyone doing? I'm still a fucking mess.
  3. "I think Klebold and Harris being bullied has been debunked. They were just a psychopath and a suicidal follower." No, it hasn't. Read the "Crime" chapter of Andrew Solomon's Far From The Tree. I don't want to speak for Harris, but it is very clear that Dylan Klebold was the victim of relentless bullying. Edited: To clarify my point, I think in the case of Harris, yes the consensus is he was a psychopath; I don't believe that is true about Dylan.
  4. That's why this show is invoking such complicated, conflicting emotions in me. Anyone's murder is unacceptable; yet Wes bullied the gay kid who was less than in terms of physical stature and social class. I'm sorry but I wont be mourning him. "Also, there are plenty of people who have been raped, who've been brutalized, who've been victims of things like racism and sexism but didn't resort to killing anybody." But too many have resorted to killing themselves. And I want to be clear that I find it abhorrent to deal with violence with more violence. Edited it add: I'm coming from my own experience of bullying that made me have to change schools when I was a teenager. And I count my lucky stars that I ended up in a progressive high school.
  5. I asked that very same question on Twitter to the producers and got nada. So let's see where it goes.
  6. My current theory is what happened the night of the captain's party will be revealed in the court case i.e. they'll show us what happened in a flashback. I mean, yes, it's very The Accused, but it's all I got right now.
  7. @elzin I think that scene was done in one uninterrupted shot! And I am right there with you when it comes to enjoying the show: I'm not. A friend was saying to me how he feels like there is something missing but he can't figure out what, and I think it's that the episodes are so relentless there's no letup; there's never a moment where the audience can come up for air. But I am aware that I am watching a legitimate masterpiece and that it may be many years before we see a show of this calibre on network television again.
  8. "but the real crime was that Taylor wasn't allowed to heal" You just made me cry at work. Thankfully it's early and I'm on my own. But you are so right. This show has made a mess of me.
  9. @represent. It was a hook up -- they connect via a cruising app. I think he either stabbed him with a knife or a piece of the beer bottle; it was hard to tell.
  10. Is everyone ok? I'm still not.
  11. They did shoot it though -- we've seen it in flashbacks -- so...maybe?
  12. It's not an easy watch for sure. And I'm not convinced that we will ever know what went down at the captain's party.
  13. I mentioned that and took the line verbatim from episode five because it's what Taylor says to the cops about Eric: "He made me feel safe." It struck me because it was the first time I heard him say anything affirmative about anyone or anything, so it made sense to me that he would agree to meet Eric again, which is why the subsequent ambush was even more awful.
  14. I made the same mistake; the recap has been updated to correct the error. Thanks for pointing it out here.
  15. Thank you, Pivot. I was wracking my brain trying to think what this scene was setting up to do -- but it was info overload with this episode. Although he also engaged in what appears to be a nasty IM exchange with someone.
