I don't remember much of what happened, but last night I dreamt about Sophia. Somehow, these last few days, that girl has really got under my skin. I want to write more fic about her.
(Does anyone else think it's awesome that Sophia uses Blondie lyrics and Emily has a Blondie poster on her wall? I love the parallels between them.)
Last night I rewatched episode two and I liked it a lot more second time around. (I wonder if this is going to be an ongoing theme with series four for me: initial disappointment, only for episodes to grow on me.) There are definitely parts of Naomi's characterisation that don't make sense, but on the whole it works a lot better once you know the ending. I think one of my favourite parts is that it turns out that Jenna was kind of right about Naomi all along. I mean, fuck, that just makes it so much worse.
However, I still hate that Emily managed to make Sophia's death all about her. I'm sorry, but 'brother wanting to know why his sister killed herself' trumps 'girl who didn't know her wanting to find out if her girlfriend cheated'. MATT SHOULD HAVE OPENED THE BOX. I know why the writers focused on Emily, but it still bothers me a lot.
But, to get back to the initial point of this post: Sophia ♥
