stlavin95

Episode 4

Nope, it's been an week

Alexa

Well, in every other netflix thread ive posted in mods have said 3 episodes per week or something to that effect.

stlavin95

Okay, I thought it was one week for spoiler tags

Alexa

Guess it depends on what they want...

Anyways, I watched 205 and I really enjoyed this one. I finally feel like things are really progressing and this one didnt feel as jumbled to me.


i like Cheri and I hope she gets more of a storyline now.

Mr. Porter is really growing on me. I love all his advice to the kids and trying to get more involved. It sucks that Justin's mom's stupid ass boyfriend picked a fight with him. And now he's arrested? Oh boy, he's gonna get fired now I bet. But I think maybe he'll always be this in between character.

I don't really like Ryan so I didnt love the the focus was on him, but it was interesting to see the flashbacks with Hannah and learn that she and Justin had kept in contact after the picture went around and that Justin sort of apologized and tried to make amends.

I just love Justin! Talk about glow up of the season. He's such a great character and so humorous too. His interactions with Clay and Tony were the best this episode! And everyone knows he is back now, which is interesting.

Tyler is getting darker and darker. Shooting guns, lying to his family, cyberbullying and wearing weird clothing... Yeah, I definitely expect him to try to bomb or shoot up the school if he continues to hang with these friends and get angrier and angrier.

Definitely curious what this "clubhouse" Hannah was writing about was, and I loved the scene where Clay found the polaroid and discovered that it was in the school. Obviously Bryce raped someone in the school? Was it the new girl that was talking to Jessica?

Go Jessica telling Chloe (is that her name?) off about not wanting a boyfriend! I hope she starts to stand up for herself. She went to a group session and she slept in her own bed, so thats great.

The most interesting part of the episode imo was finding out that Chloe had those bruises. Is Bryce beating her? Does he rape her too and she just keeps it quiet? I'm definitely interested to see more of her storyline. And Bryce's mom seems to realize that he is bad too after that talk with Porter.

I felt bad for Alex this episode and I enjoyed his scenes with Zach again, but Zach is still pissing me off trying to play both sides.

stlavin95

Fair enough.

Was 2.05 your favourite so far?

lovesophia

2x05:

- Zach PICK A ****ING SIDEEEEEE
- Chloe telling Bryce she's exhausted ect in order to avoid sex with him? Hmm, add the bruises as well...something's weird
- Best episode of the season so far for me

Alexa

Yeah either Bryce is beating her or he is just really rough during sex. We saw in the last episode their sex was pretty rough but maybe Chloe just goes along with it to sort of make it easier and make it feel less like rape. If you remember in 204, she was saying she wasnt gonna sleep with him, but then she ended up doing it. It felt like an act before but maybe part of it was real and she was seeing if she could get out of it. Which is just sad.

A lot of abuse victims stay in the relationship too because other than the instances of abuse their abuser can be very sweet and a good boyfriend etc. Which is what seems to be the case for Bryce.

I agree that 5 was the best episode so far and I heard 6 was amazing and it gets better after that. I cant wait to watch, will do that tonight.

206

Justin back at school . He looked absolutely awful. Going straight to Jessica to talk to her was really awkward. I’m so happy that Jessica finally opened up the group about her rape and what happened to her.

I liked getting to see more of Zach. It was sweet that he apologized to Hannah and we didn’t see it but I think it improves on the whole “there are more sides to the story than just hers”. It was cute that he liked her and went back to see her a lot. They dated, wow. Didn’t really see that coming. I thought the virginity talk was just weird though. The sex scene was really awkward to me too (and so fast lmao) but I don’t like when people plan it and talk about it. I feel like there is a lot of sex this season, idk, its weird. Like I would never let my teens watch it if i had kids. And Zach and Hannah are cute but damn, so much of the episode was all about them it was weird. I also find it really strange she didnt mention any of their time together on the tapes at all.

Zach is so hot though. Him pushing Bryce, yas. Someone needs to mess that kid up. Poor Zach though, dealing with his mom and her not opening up to him about anything. And when he admitted hes thought about killing himself and his mom told him hes fine? Wow. Great way to react lady.

Clay’s obsession with Hannah is starting to get super obnoxious. Who am I kidding, it already is. He has her on this pedestal and its just annoying. Maybe she freaked out about hooking up with Clay because she actually liked him and she was afraid he would abandon her the way Zach did?

Tyler’s dad teaching them to shoot, wtf. What is this about? This SL is getting scary.

OK, but that Alex/Zach scene, what was that? He got turned on fighting with Zach? I know people have said that the pent up aggression can cause that to happen but i found it a bit weird it happened when he and Zach were that close and touching.

Who was that guy that Tony saw at the ring? And what did the intruder take of Justin’s that he lied about? Someone else said it was a gun but I didnt know he had one? Was that Tyler that stole his gun? There are so many questions this series which I enjoy.

stlavin95

Zach playing both sides must be pretty annoying

fox24

Well I like it when people talk and plan it especially your first time it's something that you should talk about. You don't have to tell your partner your a virgin but at least your inexperienced. That's just my opinion

I haven't watched all of episode 6 yet I just started but I don't like the Clay this season he's acting more like an entitled nice guy

I just watched a little bit more and omg Zach and Hannah are so adorable

lovesophia

Just finished episode 6:

- Hannah & Zach were so ****ing cute I could have shipped it, They had more chemistry than Hannah/Clay (don't shoot me)

- Hannah lost her V card to Zach and we got to see every part of it, not a lot of shows do that those days, props to the producers....like a lot of first time, it wasn't perfect & pretty fast!!! BUT they really are rewriting history a bit here!

- Alex got a hard on while "fighing"/"touching" Zach

- Did I say Hannah/Zach were cute

- Poor Zach is completely lost

- Justin was right when he called Clay a dumbass!!!

Alexa

I just felt it was super forced. Like, her and Zach were just becoming friends again and then she springs it on him. I personally believe your first time should be with someone that you have been with for a while, unless you are out of highs cool. Then it should just be with someone you trust. They are still sophomores, going to juniors, I still think its a bit young to have sex, again, with someone thats not even your b/f.

With that said I think the z/h first time was sweet and they were safe and did it in a decent way, but the whole conversation for me was just awkward to watch lol.

I personally cant get on the zach/hannah train. I thought they were cute in season 1 but I dont like how their entire SL happened in one episodes time, I want build up. I know it was a flashback episode so it makes sense in the context of the show, but as a shipper i cant like a ship that I get in only 1 episodes time. IDK, it just moved over that SL so fast, its too hard fo me to be invested and I found some of the montage of scenes to be a bit cheesey. Plus it cheapens the hannah/clay relationship for me because hannah was clearly falling in love with someone else and probably had all these residual feelings for Zach.

They've really made Clay obnoxious this season, thats for sure. I loved Justin calling him a dumbass.

Seriously, why are people just overlooking that? Was it just supposed to mean nothing. i find it strange he was fighting with Zach and then it happened, especially after all the comments about them being boyfriends and Zach telling him he would find the right girl and it would happen then. Seems like weird writing to me if its not supposed to be a SL there.

fox24

I thought Zach and Hannah were really cute. It inspires to watch fan vids of them. I still like her with clay too.

I am glad clay has Justin to call him out on stuff. So far this season I mostly like clay around Justin and Tony

There is some tension around Zach and Alex. I wonder if they'll be a thing or it's one sided

Alexa

207:

Okay episode but not my favorite. Not a lot happens really.

I didnt like them twisting Clay's words around on the stand but it seems that everyone is saying the wrong thing. Doesnt look like Hannah's parents are going to win the case against the school. The flashback scenes with Clay and Hannah were really sweet, and wow, Clay uploaded the tapes online. Wonder what the consequences of that will be. Oh and I loved seeing Jeff in the flashbacks too.

Alex yelling "rapist" in the hallway at Bryce was freaking EVERYTHING! I know it hurt Jessica but I loved that moment so much. Bryce is such a freaking ass. They all were having a sweet friend moment and he had to go and ruin it. Alex in the entire episode was pretty sad. What a sad birthday party. I want him to get better.

Not much Tyler in this episode but now he wants to go after Zach? Huh? Like, why arent they going after freaking Bryce!?

I feel so bad for Bryce's girlfriend. Its obvious shes always trying to get out of having sex with him. And that sex scene was really uncomfortable to watch. SHE DIDNT WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU DUDE. Ugh. He is just so gross, it gives me the creeps. (I feel bad for the actor because he probably gets so much hate in real life) I wonder why she doesn't just break up with him. Maybe she is afraid of how he will react if she does.

Caleb and Tony scene was cute but man, talk about rushed. We had one scene of Caleb subtly flirting with Tony (and this was also the first scene we really had with his character). Then the next episode we see them getting coffee together. And now they are kissing? IDK, it was too quick for me. I still think they are cute but I wish the writers would focus on Tony more. Hes always barely in the episodes. I want more Justin too. There is just too much Clay and Hannah this season. Luckily I think Justin's episode is the next one.

Andy is such a douche! Kissing his ex wife (who he ten minutes later wants to finalize a divorce with) while hes dating some new chick... and this is all right after the death of his daughter? He's disgusting. I mean, his wife is going through something really traumatic and he cant just stick out the trial and be there for her? He cant just freaking wait to start dating again. So annoying.
