Aw, I find Kevin and Patrick adorable together ;=) Can you see Richie jumping on a mattress in a store? But that's because on the inside, I'm a 12 yr old gay boy myself.

I don't know how much stock we can put in those holiday markers. Folsom Street Fair is in September but Megan's wedding took place after the fair. The time lines don't make much sense.

Right. Kevin is from Romford, which is a pretty rough area. In fact, I believe that's where Russell Tovey said he was attacked as a teenager.

To me, it seems Patrick's rash decisions regarding Kevin have been heavily influenced by outside events. The after effect of the car accident and funeral pushed him to say yes to a relationship with Kevin. And although he didn't immediately agree to move in with Kevin, he went directly to the new condo to say yes…

It was a bit contrived but totally in character for Dom. He treated Lynn the same way when he was getting ready for the pop up restaurant.

The rent boy dig was mean, especially since it was said in front of Eddie. Agustin deserved it, but I was pleasantly surprised that he accepted it with grace and humility.

That's true, Richie fell for Patrick hard and fast. But he gives off that same negative vibe around Brady. It could be because he's not into Brady the way he was (and still is) with Patrick. But Brady said Richie judges him too so this appears to be his personality regardless of who he's dating.

I thought the negative review of their game was a wink-wink-nod to criticism the series has received! Even Kevin's response sounded like something the creators/actors might say - "We're not going to please everyone. I'm proud of what we've accomplished."

Episode 4 was my favourite from last season. I totally agree with you about the extended look Kevin gave Patrick when talking about how hard it is to find someone who understands your work.

So many scenes are mirror images of other scenes on Looking. Just a few weeks ago at the Halloween party, Patrick exchanged a meaningful look with Richie, and then wistfully watched him canoodle with a new beau. Patrick put his head on Kevin's shoulder to avoid looking at Richie at the prom, just like Richie turned…

I feel that way about Richie too. I liked him in the very first episode because he exuded confidence and had a sassy attitude. But that spark immediately disappeared and a big dark cloud rolled in. He rarely smiles or lets loose, always looks like he's on edge, or about to blow up about something, has that morally…

I watched the episode again and I now believe that what made Patrick say yes to Kevin without hesitation had more to do with the funeral and car accident than it did with either Richie or Kevin. As much as Patrick wants a boyfriend and love, he is always second guessing his choices. The funeral and car accident…

"Dom hasn't gone off the rails yet."

Patrick is like a puppy at the pound, desperate to be loved and to have someone to love. And yet Patrick rejected Kevin's kiss at the wedding and coldly dismissed his apology the next day. His sole focus was Richie and trying to make things right with him. He called Richie from the wedding, left multiple messages for…

Richie looked liked he'd been stabbed in the heart when Patrick told him why he's with Kevin. I think he realizes that by giving up too soon, he pretty much pushed Patrick into Kevin's arms.

Patrick: Hold on.
Kevin: Sure you want me to?
Patrick: Yeah. Yeah. (Wipes his forehead, grimaces)
Patrick: Oooo-kay
Kevin: you ok?
Patrick: it's good.
