perfection! this was perfection - short sweet and prefect... wish this was longer, but sometimes longer means just added clutter. so it's great as is and i hope there is a second season. cause this type of plot, acting etc.. is worth multiple seasons. the range of emotions and feelings conveyed, in such short a time and brilliantly at that - deserves much more then just one season. great work done by all!!!loved how this started off, with them not being able to keep theirs eyes off each other and then u get a look at the 3 trans girls faces behind them - looking at them looking at each other, i burst out laughing cause that was just such a sweet, endearing moment filled with love. all inclusive -when James's woke up to an empty bed, i wanted to feel bad for him. cause he was hurt - but considering his telling Dale the evening before "not to make it harder on him to leave.." i was a bit miffed, it's like he didn't even consider giving Dale and their relationship a chance. and considering Dale opening up to him, as much as he did with Dale - he deserved more, then to be treated like a "tourist attraction". but cause of everything that happened, Dale wasn't the shy fan-boy, basking in his crushes glory, he was an equal that was desired and as attractive to his crush, as he found his crush - so that equal footing gave him the strength to step out of his shell and assert himself - making his will known. inviting himself not only to tag along with James back to him home. but to set a date with him one New Years. his ending with "it's gonna be a long ride" means he's planning for them to not just be an extended one-night-stand. i am beyond happy - this was perfect will for sure revisit this at every chance i want to lift my mood or just for fun (❁´◡`❁)

this was such a powerful ep - i really didn't want it to end - it was sad yet heartwarming, vulnerable and sweet, cute and sultry. it was perfection. two people who just wanted to be loved, not lusted after, not used or taken advantage of, but just loved - for who they were and it was so hard for them to find - this is the reality of a lot of people who remain single - cause of the same reason, cause they tired of getting their heart broken or getting manipulated and played. . this hurt my heart - freakin bitter sweet. but perfection!

i laugh out loud literally, at Dale walking into Jame's room and removing his shirt - dude not playing, OMG that was hilarious. the sad part is James invited him in, cause he lonely and as his ex calling just reminded him of what the jerk did and he doesn't want o be alone and in pain - this usually a recipe for disaster - but as they both consenting adults, that aint blind-drunk this should be fine. but then this nothing but a hook-up story?!? which depresses me a bit - oh well, can't wait to see James reaction...

OMO that ended wayyyy to fast and was like screaming "Dale go after him!!!", was wondering if and when he would come clean - plus not nice of him dragging it out. sending poor James on needless journey to some random supermarket. when his "hook-up" was in front of him. so i get James getting angry, as he felt the fool and i'm pretty sure he already hurting cause of his ex. well hope they make up quick, as this short and every sec of them being sweet towards each other, is just a joy to view.

another great ep - well at least James is out of his funk, or trying to.. Dale realizing he is meeting James was hilariously sweet - wonder how he is gonna come clean, plus he told James on the app "white shirt + jeans" he aint got jeans on - so did he suspect all along it was James he was conversing with?!? or was he genuinely surprised?!? can't for the next ep

wow that flashed by - good start, just want to point out "Two young men, alone for the holidays for different reasons, gravitate towards each other.." is a bit of a reach, as one of the "young men" is working there - so the description is misleading, but other then that i guess that's what's gonna happen. as not a few sec's in each other's company and they were both Very(!) interested. the actor playing James totally looked familiar and i guess i remembered him from Boys' Lockdown, even though for the life of me can't remember the character he played there. but whatever - dude is really good looking and his beautiful sad face, totally make's one want to work hard and making him smile so i totally get Dale lol. good start - on wards to the next ep

all in all the concept was good - acting wasn't bad either, but the plot wasn't though out - there were areas it was just needlessly drag-out, what with the endless flashbacks, that were almost all there was in the last couple of ep's. that not great. it's sweet how they reconciled and even committed to each other, in front of the people who really mattered. but as said before, this could've been shorter, and maybe then it would've been sweeter. all the side character's weren't utilized at all- so why have so many? why give them side stories if "u" won't keep developing them? cause "u" were so committed to the freaking endless flashbacks - really?!? Jet was in like 2 eps at the start and then the ground swallowed the dude - other then hear his name - he didn't exist, might as well have been Bianca's imaginary bf. Nicole the "strong independent woman" was more a busybody that kept poking her nose in everyone's business, cause she had none of her own. and worse she kept acting like a drill sergeant. what's likeable or good about that?!?Ronin had more screen time, with his side story and they (the couple) got a bit more developed, but they never meet - the endless long-distance chats were getting tedious and boring. their cutesy moment's just cringe. who's left Orion, who was totally putting the move's on his co-worker, knowing why that co-worker had come to his families resort. and yet he kept getting touchy feely with him and at the end he acted like he this saint, that is graciously bowing out ?!?cause Tau only has eye's for Otep. and Otep apologizes to this douche even though he was spot on?!? plz - idk maybe i'm the jaded one, but this was far for perfect. not saying boring and it had it's good moments, but this needed work!

this ep was 95% flashbacks and the rest new content - what's left to say? other then - why??? if u remove all the flashback scenes, u might get 7 normal ep's, heck i think i'm being generous - maybe 5

and we r back to boring - let alone the endlesssss reminiscing, like some on who has such a short memory span they need constant reminding, of what happened a sec ago?!? and yeah yippy for Ronin coming out of the closet but Nicole's acceptance speech felt a bit hollow. idk maybe i'm just disillusioned by the plot - like the big hoopla with Otep, Tau and Orion - much ado about nothing - feel like i'm repeating myself, so will add - this should've been a Much shorter drama and then the plot-holes wouldn't be this glaring

and we r back on track, even enjoyed the conversations between Ronin and his bf (it felt real, and not a parody of how a serious relationship between adults looks like - which was totally the case until now). and the friends always rushing to come to each other's aid, is very sweet but can be a bit overbearing - they totally intrusive and most of their rules r a bit ridiculous, let alone Nicole rushing to enforce them like some fanatic, is overkill. but when it counts they do help, so i guess the bad is overshadowed by the good. Otep for sure is justified in his anger and jealous, i liked that he didn't back down just cause the troop's "descended" cause Orion flirting from the word go, and it aint even lowkey - the fact everyone saying "oh Orion" he safe is crap - cause Otep not delusional. anyone would get angry at the way he was going on with Tau (if we were dating Tau) that was taking friend's into the friend's with benefit's territory. and i don't get how Tau doesn't think that's weird - so i think Orion really being into Otep , would be one hell of a twist and hilarious to boot.. then wonder how Tau would react - side note: the flashbacks in this drama r just ridiculous, if this was a sequel to a previous season and we needed a reminder cause time has passed, i would get it - but just watched this a sec ago (yeah i'm binging) so it's worse. and even if when it aired there was a weeks gap between ep's - what viewer's goldfish?!? ugh

even though i don't like unnecessary drama this ep got some much needed "life" pumped back into it - cause for me it was boring and just monotonous i for one aint a big fan of the side couple - they cute looks wise but the content there is tepid at best, and cringe at worse. the girl's k fine as long as u don't get strong doses of them then they as tedious as the side couple. the mains - lol - i was an am rooting for Tau cause i doubt u can be so loving one moment u willing to sacrifice ur love - just cause u think it's better for them and then r left to tend to ur bleedin heart while getting labeled the bad-guy. and as already mentioned if he was read or interested he had over a yr to fine a new love interest (he and Orion working together over a 1) so why now that he has finally gotten Otep back would he mess that up? yeah he totally obtuse, as anyone would see Orion actions as flirting - there nothing friendly about it. so i get Otep's jealous and anger - Tau needs to wake up and smell the coffee

well sorry wanted more on Bianca (well we only get her), not her and her bf, or his side and she just a spoilt brat and the clingy couple that acts all lovey dovey is great at the start - even throughout the honey moon period. but u can't continue to act like complete moron's for decade's - it's infantile and annoying, let alone tiering tiring to keep up the act - cause let's face facts, that an act. so Ronin throughout this ep has given solid advise. donno if Jet is cheating or not, but for sure he has had enough of the glue like baby-gf that needs constant ego stroking and handling like fragile goods. she needs to grow the frack up.mentioning Ronin idk what to think about his relationship - and i get they in a long distance one - but they just lack something for me to get really into caring for that pair. Orion in-spite of those thick ass glasses is hot so i aint surprised Otep worried Tau might be straying, and yet cause of what Tau has done to date there really isn't a reason to worry - he had ample time to be with whomever, while Otep was in the states and he remined single pining over Otep.

another ep where nothing much happened and i guess as the main drama/problem has been solved, what remains?! just to smooth things out and live "happily ever after" i really thing this should've been a shorter drama. cause anything more happening now, will be unnecessary and making a mountain out of a molehill - cause Tau love's Otep he has proved it with the sacrifice of letting him go just cause he though it was better. yeah it backfired and wasn't needed but his heart was in the right place so what else is left? should Otep be in heaven?!? Ronin and his whole bf situation isn't clear and when they do talk i either cringe or feel the bf is being shady. bottom line not enough to get what the hell is going on there and cause of that not feeling anything for that side-plot. heck more interested in woman-child Bianca and wondering if everything is in her head of Jet really straying...

everyone is gushing over this ep - other then Otep's little moment of indecision about moving in with Tau, which was much ado about nothing - considering they actually living together... so why the "act"?!? but he should be glad for those girl's pointing out the obvious - he and Tau have been together forever. even their break-up is a non factor, as he knows the only reason Tau pushed him away, was cause he was thinking about Otep and his family, not cause he fell out of love. that's the main reason Otep came back - so why still stalling?!? there no reasons to be unsure - he came back cause he wanted Tau back - let alone their relationship so i guess he scared. even though he doesn't have a reason. but the rest is filler - and sorry as much as happy for Ronin, there something cringe about his relationship and interaction with his bf - so i was either bored of embarrassed watching Ronin.

from the hint's Ronin be dropping, think we all knew he was gay - get he never felt he could confide in that lot - not surprising as he more the friend that tagged along (that's the feel u get, with the whole group dynamic). but donno and maybe just over thinking - but have a bad feeling about the guy Ronin's dating. the bit that's bothering me, the couple that have been together for ages, Otep and Tau - why it always seem like Otep uncomfortable with any show's of PDA (ironically that all take place in private)?!? i don't need them to "get it on" in every scene (that's why that kiss was surprising in the previous ep, not only cause it felt normal and sweet, but it came from Otep). who would visibly cringes anytime Tau try's to get handsy with him - which them being in a long time relationship, just comes off weird. plus who doesn't want to cuddle and just touch their loved one?!? one u just made-up with, after a break-up, misunderstanding - let alone being apart for almost a 1yr. shouldn't they be closer?!? more affectionate? and to make things clear - Not talking sex -
