ah, but that first episode was anything but a typical teen movie. it veered close to that territory when mini gave franky that dress, but i was really glad to see them avoid the "if odd character look likes everyone else, he or she will make friends and become happy" trope.

excuse me if this has already been said somewhere…
…but why isn't the avclub covering the e4 version? the first two episodes of series 5 have been excellent. thanks @ hem for getting the ball rolling in the comments.
