Yes, but why was Kevin infatuated with Patrick? From the moment he entered his life, nonetheless.

Well, let's face it: what Patrick's mom says is correct, "Seems like a real catch" (ironically).

And the focus on the sex for Patrick, too, is a "circle" with the cruising-scene opening from the Pilot.

Well, I don't know. Patrick doesn't seem so heartbroken when he comes back into his apartment. He's even smiling, somehow.

Oh, I forgot: noticed how Richie was wearing an outfit similar - if not the same - to the one sporting on their first meeting on the Muni?

I think that for Kevin this is not even a crush. It's just a play. Kevin's a player.

Well, nobody forced Augustin to take all those drugs, so we CAN really lay the blame on him.

OMG.

BTW: all the "pride" speech… This is something that someone coming from a poorer upbringing can *really* relate with.

And that scene where Patrick is bottoming. Do you too had your hands over your mouth saying "I don't believe it?". It was just a NOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING moment, for me.

Don't forget that English is not my mother language, so it could be I misused the term "flamboyant".

Totally.

Is he described as "masculine"? Not. He's all wrists and cooking and lovely voices, when we first met him.

Yeah, totally.

Oh, and Franklin. Franklin! We discover his long name today, when we come to understand he's a grown up person, an adult, a human being and not "Frankie", the simpathetic flamboyant gay partner.

Did anyone underlined how Richie's behaviour was perfectly explainable and not-at-all douche?

Well, think about it. Think better: Frank is a flamboyant queer, Richie is a simple man with no ambition, Lynn is old.
