Ep 4x03 Recap: Jimmy Cook and the Non-Lezzer Willy Waggle

[divine_sarcasm]

From afterellen.com:

Once upon a time, there was a boy named James "Jimmy" Cook. At his 17th birthday party, he ate a whole cake with his bare hands. Another time, he stood for student government. Another time, he sold drugs to someone who sold drugs to a dead girl. He said he did all of those things because he didn't care about you or anyone else

i just got through reading this over at afterellen, i really enjoyed their analysis, especially when it came to reasoning out cook and naomi's actions and feelings.

love this:
The harshest space in the world is the distance between you and someone you used to touch without hesitation.

just wanted to say that.

Ahhh so thats why Naomi cheated, what annoys me is the fact that Naomi cheated with a girl. I could completely understand it if it was with a guy because she was always "im straight except for you" i think Emily herself could understand that too. But because it was with Sofia the audience is probs thinking the same as Emily ... which is WTF?! But you actually made it make a lot of sense (just not why it was a girl lol)

Except Naomi's "maybe I only like guys apart from you" was obviously just part of her being scared and refusing to accept her sexuality, trying to rationalize it and finding any excuse not to admit she was actually gay/bisexual. There's never been any actual evidence of her being attracted to guys at all (they even had her mum tell her it was nice to see her with a guy "for a change" lol). She enjoys having sex with Emily, therefore she likes girls ;)

Exactly.

If they wanted to reinforce her supposed bisexuality or sexual confusion, they'd have her cheat with a guy. She cheated with a girl, therefore the woman really is attracted to the ladies, as opposed to being a straight girl in love with Emily.
