Oh jesus fuck. Nine episodes and my heart is about to explode.
I mean. Okay. Lets start with Tony, just because the last two episodes made me fall in love and then cry a lot at the stupidity of the season ending just because THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO FUCKING HAPPEN.
Right. At first I hated him, really. He was awful to everybody for his own benefit and just personally, I've had enough of that in my life to last for the rest of it. But then ep. 8, with Effy and everything, oh my heart broke. Because of course that doesn't really happen irl, but we all want it to, don't we? And so he made life bearable by being suddenly human and lovely and al;skdjfrgng when he criiiiiesss T_T.
AND THEN HE WAS SINGING ON THE PAVEMENT AND IT WAS ALL JUST TOO MUCH.
Re: Tony/Michelle. I don't know how I feel about Michelle. She's not really as dynamic as the rest of the characters, for me, even though I liked her episode. I want to connect with her more than I can, I think. I like her, and sometimes I think I love her. I'm on the fence and I wish she would just do something to make her as stellar as the rest of them, besides being a big mopey girl about boys and how they ruin her life, or something whatever. I like her stance on the whole Tony grow the fuck up thing.
OH the two of them, they work, when Tony is being nice and lovely. I think. I mean, we haven't seen this actually, but the idea is heavenly.
NOT THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET TO SEE IT.
SEE, SEASON ENDING.
SEE, SINGING ON THE PAVEMENT.
SEE, MY LIFE SHATTERING INTO A THOUSAND TINY PIECES.
And Cassie. alksdjf;ergakhe;krjgh;alkfnhv;aoerthgha. I wanted more of her, all the time. She disappeared for entire episodes and I missed her while she was away. She's too lovely. Oh god, in the hallway when Sid has to cancel their date, and she says she didn't eat for three days so she could be lovely. My heart my heart my heart. She's always making it impossible to love anybody more than I love her.
Sid/Cassie. Oh god. Okay. Can I just. They're so dysfunctional-ly perfect. Sid and his stupid obsession with Michelle made him really pathetic in this awful way for the majority of the season, especially with Cassie saying, "Sid, oh wow," wonderfully all the time. But the end. "Hi." Why is that word always used in this way that makes it sound like the happiest and saddest word I have ever heard all at once?
And also,
"Kiss me again."
"No, Sid, I won't."
♥break.
BUT IT HAS TO WORK OUT, RIGHT? NONE OF THIS OFF TO SCOTLAND BUSINESS, CASSIE, OR THIS SHOW WILL BE RUINED FOREVER FOR ME BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE MICHELLE/TONY AS MUCH AS I LIKE CASSIE/SID.
Speaking of Sid. Omnomnom. I love hated him and his treatment of Cassie like she was weirder than a walking talking three-headed hot dog or something, but his character is adorable, all the time, no matter how confused he is about his existence.
Chris. Oh he's so subtly maybe the love of my life. Whenever he's on screen, he steals the show for me. His episode made me cry, just because he tries so hard. Angie/Chris is strange, and very Chris, and he's so relentless. But Angie, really, that fiance of yours that showed up out of no where? I mean. How did you think that was going to work. Because he's well. BLATANTLY gay. And you are BLATANTLY a woman.
Chris is 17 and Angie is well. His teacher. Which makes this pairing sketchyyyy. My morals are compromised. Christ loves Angie, and so I have a hard time disliking the whole situation. Even though she's his psychology teacher, which is ironic, considering she should be one of the first to understand his feelings for her, yeah? OH I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
MAX is just too amazingly cute for words. His love for Anwar is just so lovely, even when Anwar is being rudely homophobic. THANKS RELIGION FOR BEING AWESOME, YET AGAIN.
BUT, can I just say, HELL YES MR. ANWAR'S FATHER?!
AND AND AND. Everybody's lovely in this show, period.
Also, Effy's character? I'M INTRIGUED.
MUST HAVE SEASON TWO, RIIIIGHT AWAY.
