Well let's tell everybody we know about PrEP so we can end this now!

Truvada unfortunately costs thousands of dollars annually.

Yes I know but many states have health navigators who can help people get access. Not the states with the highest rates of STDs, but the other ones.

"I didn't find terribly unreasonable- heightened perhaps, sure, but not totally unreasonable at all. "

that's how I feel. Mind you I haven't lived in a big city (Montreal,) in five years, but to various degrees it seems to worry my friends who are mostly in their late 20s/early 30s. The friend I mentioned is an extreme case, though a friend's roomate (who, granted, it kinda an idiot,) apparently gets him to check every mark he gets on his body each week... (OK that's another extreme example, but given how Patrick has been portrayed it doesn't seem too much of a stretch.)

Horse, I enjoyed your critique.

I really enjoyed episode 3 of season 2 and am looking forward to episode 4 next week.

Tag, I appreciate the information, but I stand by my statement. Next week, I will still be looking forward to episode 4 of LOOKING.

I've just bought season 1.

Do I now have to read the other 32 fcuking pages to get up to speed?!

Oh, just ignore all our silly chatter and just watch the show. You either dig it or you don't.

Actually, this was the best episode yet.

I know I'm the rare duck, but since I live in San Francisco, I don't feel the need to watch singles trying to find love in the City. I hang out in the Castro all the time.

Anyway, I heard this last episode didn't have enough butts. Or maybe it had butts but not enough penis. I don't know.

I only watched the very first scene because I know the guy the bearded guy in the park.

It was nice to see Matthew Risch reprising his role as a bear this week and being naked. I wondered what he was up to.

An interesting episode, good and bad.

I don't know who Patrick and Kevin think they're fooling at that office of theirs. Groping your boss at a coworker's birthday party and disappearing to the roof with cake wouldn't go unnoticed.

I like the way they're showing the real chemistry between the two of them -- that's not going to end prettily, is it? Or maybe it will.

Agustin making nice with Richie was nice, but then he blew it by babbling The Big Secret to his bear buddy. Dom and Lynn are interesting, but I'm finding the roommate to be considerably less interesting than she used to -- she really feels like a contrivance, someone for the straight folks to identify with.

Kevin mentioning he needs a green card was probably important.

[Roscoe]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 2:46pm

Yeah, the mention of Kevin only having two more years left on his green card was a bit of a red flag -- "I need to get married" indeed.

[EricMontreal22]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 4:54pm

What is HBO airing next Sunday?

I thought the greencard thing was more just to show how clueless Kevin is about the whole Patrick situation, though if Looking even lasts another season, I suppose it could come up? I agree Roscoe that the way Kevin and Patrick flirt in the office seems... well pretty stupid on their part.

"but I'm finding the roommate to be considerably less interesting than she used to -- she really feels like a contrivance, someone for the straight folks to identify with. "

Funny, Doris seems to be the big hit on other message boards. Maybe that's not surprising. I like the character, but some of her writing this week felt off (still I did think it was interesting how she was more comfortable with Dom than with the guy she had just slept with--again, I guess not too surprising.) I think it's overstating things to say she's there for straights to have an entering in point to the show--she's simply not on enough for that, but...

I liked the episode, though I found a few things too on the nose. Dom and Lynne have been doing this "whiny son/dad who oversteps his place" now pretty much from the start.

I thought Patrick should have made a point of asking Kevin if he had douched yet :P

Matthew Risch seems to have a bigger role in the next episode.

I posted this Matthew Risch picture in the other thread but it belongs here.

Jungle, this episode (thanks to the shower scene,) had more butts and penis than past episodes, so not sure what you've heard. In fact I think this was the show's first****shot (though maybe there was a brief one in the Folsom Fair episode.)

[Jungle Red]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 7:03pm

I know my Facebook feed was all about the butts. I'll eventually catch up to Looking, but it'll take some time. I'm still a little miffed that I'm not writing an SF based TV show, but that's neither here nor there.

This episode bummed me out. I want Patrick and Kevin to work things out. The scene on the roof was great and then it was ruined with the scene in the bar. They're making it look like Patrick is going to run back to Richie.

I loved this episode. Entirely and fully.

[Bettyboy72]

This last episode was the best of the entire series. Finally, the characters are acting like real people. Patrick has some depth and this was the first episode I actually felt for all of the characters. Also, the horrible fag hag acted like a real person and not some caricature.

The Lynn thing is a little odd. He pouted for Dom to be his boyfriend and now acts like he doesn't want a commitment. It's weird.

[HorseTears]

Man, that was an emotional episode that really hit home for me in more ways than I care to admit. Loved it. My second favorite ep of the season after ep 1. Murray Bartlett broke my heart a little. But no histrionics from anyone. I love how subtle this show can be.

Nice to see Agustin stepping up. All of which, frankly, wouldn't mean squat if we hadn't seen him crash and burn with self-destructive behavior in season 1.

Oh, and, are we to assume Dom once escorted given his exchange with Doris re: funding a film about a young rentboy and his "fag hag"?

I am so in love with Don.

He's my fave.
