Given what I said earlier, let me preface this by saying she is lovely, funny, and talented as all hell. Robbie Turner.

The queen who's always "hosted" and dished/commented during commercial breaks when they play this at my local bar is on this season!

It could potentially be more convincing if Taylor tells the whole story of the altercation, and Eric admits to Taylor getting jumped and that Wes was part of the group that did it.

I'm subscribing to the theory that Taylor was drugged without Eric's knowledge (and thus, both of their stories are true), but that may just be me not wanting to think the worst of Eric (I still think he and his dad could pull it together, he said naively).

Viola Davis expressed a related frustration about how people question why she would want to play as flawed (and rich and human) a character as Annalise Keating, and her desire to simply do an actors' work during her SAG speech, and it really resonated with me. In total agreement.

Yeah, the positive portrayal of Cochran is what I'm here for. It's been said before by others, but while I was too young for the trial itself to make a blip (born 1989), but I definitely saw the repeated vilification and mockery of him in the late 90s/early 2000s, and had no other frame of reference for him.

Alan Moore created a lot of things, but this "trope" stretches at least back to Apuleius.

The only thing I remember about the book was that changing Mr. Bennet from "apathetic about his daughters' futures" to "concerned about training them to survive zombies, apathetic about their marriage prospects" while keeping Mrs. Bennet's concerns and ecasperation towards him exactly the same was pretty funny.

And how frightening Taylor's experience must be.

"You have to care. Then you can feel guilty" seems like the big takeaway from the Becca scene to me.

Also of note, though I don't think this parallel will extend to Leslie, is that she is the force of strength through the initial stages of crime/coverup, then disentigrates as guilt weighs on her over time, while her husband starts fearful and reticent, then snaps and comes out the other side a true monster.

Something was DEFINITELY flashing across her face during the ballet. All Neptune's oceans won't wash it out.

Evy coming more into focus here makes me wonder what part she'll have to play in the protests at her school. Both institutions are now squarely in the sights of people seeking justice.

"Remember when I told you it was like every room in my house had been broken into" kind of felt like a "remember the Porter" moment.

I think the show wants both that possibility, and the possibility that he really just hosted the party (and is thus featured because his name got published and so he's involved in the aftermath, for the reasons argued by Terri) to be weighing in our minds.

From the comments here, I think it's a trap they deliberately set by putting that poetry before an episode that filled Eric (the likeliest perpetrator) out so sympathetically. We're all asking questions about "how they got in," and letting Taylor himself fall by the wayside.

Ok, the rest follows then. Thanks!

Genuinely asking—I've avoided this film/the controversy surrounding it up till now—how accurate a portrayal of its real-life individual subject is the film supposed to be? Did it muck up facts/feelings surrounding the actual person, or is the issue that her experience is so far removed from the modern trans community…

That's what I liked about it.

Between his conversation with his daughter about not understanding kids today, and his resolution to stand by Kevin and Eric, I feel like he's going to end up with critical information about what happened and no idea what to do with it.
