I think that the fact that the cast & creators are still doing press says that they're still hopeful so I am too. They are doing a Paley Center Panel on Wed., Feb. 24 which will be live streamed:

Richie's definitely in episode 10 even though he isn't part of the episode description. I've seen a video of Jonathan Groff filming a scene at the barbershop.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels this way. I feel like season 2 is an example of what happens when creators are enamoured with an actor. I read that Russell Tovey auditioned for the role of Patrick (gosh I couldn't imagine him as Patrick) and obviously didn't get it but the creators liked him so much that…

I was surprised as well that Kevin got his own scene. In a comment for an earlier show I had posted that we would never see scenes with just Kevin and Jon. I guess I was wrong. I had read in a preview that Kevin would have a scene without Patrick but I assumed that it would be at the office with staff and nothing more.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. I don't think they made Richie look better at the expense of Kevin. Despite humanizing Kevin he made himself look bad when he couldn't tell Jon and yet still wanted Patrick to be with him.

Funny but I didn't find that there was tension between Patrick & Richie except maybe when they were talking about Brady and of course when Patrick confessed. I felt an ease and energy between them that I've missed since season 1 episode 5.

I've learned in life that everyone matures or learns life's lessons at their own pace. And often times it's not with the same speed that you or I would get there but that's okay. I think it's more important that they end up in the right place and not how long it takes them to get there. Often it is a person's…

We get into Richie's background in this week's episode - Looking for Truth.

I have to agree. I'm starting to find the Patrick & Kevin storyline a bit tiresome so I'm happy that at least the affair is over but I'm afraid that Kevin won't go away like a bad penny.

Agreed. I think there are two types of people in life: people with book smarts and people with life smarts. I will take the people with life smarts every time. They are inventive, curious and resourceful.

I know that we can go back and forth on whether Richie has been forced into the last two episodes simply because he's a series regular now or whether it has been a more organic process. I actually like the way that they have re-introduced him in season 2. Yes, Richie's storyline is tied to Patrick but I like the fact…

I agree with you re: Russell Tovey's charm and likeability accounting for many people's love of Kevin. Hell, I found myself liking him more as a result of this episode than I have since he and Patrick got involved but it hasn't stopped me from still seeing how wrong his relationship with Patrick is. I don't know if I…

I've read the press release with synopses for the next three episodes and Richie gets more screen time.

I came across this interview with Raul Castillo who talks about Patrick & Richie's relationship this season. I don't know if it's really a spoiler but you are forewarned. I'm excited about this.

I don't think that Agustin is in love with Patrick but he loves him — like a brother/as a friend. I think at this point with the love triangle they're not going to introduce another player. Besides he's in hot pursuit of Eddie.

Very interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how that plays out

Agreed but this is Patrick and this is Looking. I think we learned from season 1 that it's not a sprint, it's a marathon. I don't think we're going to see a big change from Patrick two episodes into the 2nd season even though an apology is a small thing. But it would mean that Patrick would have to face some not so…

I rewatched the promo and Agustin's beard just looks bushy. Do you think that scene (rugby match) is before the visit to Richie? I think it is but I'm not sure. Do you see some significance in the timing?

Jonathan Groff said in an interview that Patrick will be pushing the boundaries of his relationship with Kevin. We've seen evidence of that in the fact that they finally did it in a bed, although one in a seedy hotel. There's no sexiness in that Patrick. But I am waiting for Patrick to finally ask him why he hasn't…

I think that Patrick actually does take responsibility for what happened in his relationship with Richie. (Perhaps not as much as we'd like but it's a start.) In the first episode of season 2 he tells Dom, while they're both lying on Lynn's bed, that he regrets the way that he dealt with everything and that he misses…
