Synchonicity

Thanks for your answer!

I liked the film, thanks!

You know I love you, Gottillc! Fingers crossed for the continuation of this series.

I'll probably get slammed for this, but I must be one of the few that doesn't miss Pete (nothing against Saint). For me, the Pete character was just too wimpy and weak (although I did appreciate that he was one of the first actually gay BL characters) and, although I did like the Ae/Pete coupling at first, after a while they just became boring, in my opinion.

That said, this depiction of Ae as slipping into depression and degradation seems a bit like overkill. Ae's character was so strong in LBC1. Maybe they will give us more of why Pete left (they haven't so far), which would at least -- maybe -- give us an explanation as to why Ae feels so hopeless. (And yes, I'm aware of the story in the novel.)

At this point, I'd just as soon see Ae hook up with Pond! (Lol, just kidding, I realize Pond is a straight character.)

I agree with you, especially regarding Kla/No. There's just no reason for that storyline, unless they were going to portray it as an actual rape, and the trauma that goes along with that. Sigh. And it seems Tul/Hin is going to be some sort of BDSM relationship, which could actually be interesting if explored genuinely, but I doubt it will.

As for Tin/Can, it seems that the backstory they're subjecting us to could have been handled in the first episode, rather than dragging it out the way they are here. (Although, admittedly, I do enjoy some of the new scenes that weren't in Season 1.) I hope they get the story moving soon.

Me too.

Lol! (And now I just have to go back and look for London's t h i c c legs... )

You said exactly what I was thinking, but better than I would have!

Thanks, that makes sense.

Thanks for your answer!

Thanks for your answer!

I understood the Mama/Cairo flashback. But I was just remembering that, in Ep. 12, when Gav and Cai were fighting, Gav was planning to drive to talk to Cai in person, despite Cai not wanting that. Gav steps outside of his house and into the driveway, just outside the front door. His car is right there and he is just about to get inside of it, when their argument escalates and the episode ends.

So this street looked really remote to me, and I was wondering where Gav was walking (since it seems he has a car right in his driveway). But who knows... maybe he was walking to a bus stop that goes directly to the airport?

As mentioned, in the end it really doesn't matter, because the whole series was fantastic!

I have a question about the finale (sorry if this has been mentioned already): in the final kissing scene, where are they?

Gav leaves his house to catch Cairo at the airport. We find out that Cai's mom allows him to stay for a week. All good.

But we see Gav walking down a remote street (seemingly in the middle of nowhere), talking to Pearl on his phone, then Cai suddenly shows up. It doesn't look like an airport parking area and, from what we saw in Ep. 12, Gav's car was parked in his driveway at home, so I assume he would have just gotten into his car and driven to the airport.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about this. (Not that it really matters, the finale was great!)

Me too! That's the moment I started getting teary.

Agreed!

Yes, it was done very compassionately!

So well stated, thank you!

Me: a complete, blubbering mess.

For me, this is the best BL I have ever seen, period. I'll put a lot more in my review, but I'll just comment here that Gameboys managed to get more covered in a single 20 minute episode than some other series do in four episodes (each close to an hour long).

I was impressed with Ep. 6. I'll admit, I was feeling like this was similar to a mediocre Thai BL, with all the silly tropes and stereotype characters. But... I LOVED the scene between Ace and Kim. I assumed that Kim was Ace's girlfriend (meaning, I thought they had a sexual relationship), but it turns out no... Kim was just Ace's longtime friend. Yes, she was in love with Ace, but he didn't return those feelings. And Ace addressed this head on, and as sensitively as any guy in his position could. YAY, ACE!

And... when Sky saw Ace comforting Kim, I thought, "here we go again," assuming that a whole lot of unnecessary drama between Ace and Sky was going to happen. But -- at least as far as I can tell -- they didn't go there. It looks like the road is clear for Ace and Sky to declare their true feelings.

Of course, Moira has declared revenge on Sky, so I'm sure we haven't heard the last of her...

I'm looking forward to the next episode!

Oh okay, I thought you meant a "girlfriend" character that was introduced. As for the girl that was hitting on Tin, I actually liked that he just blew her off, lol.
