YES YES YES everything you said. It's so crucial that we know Bobby loves and is loved! he has a rich community and they are deeply involved in each other's lives! fuck patriarchal masculinity, we talk about our feelings and hopes and fears!
Bobbi is enthusiastically attracted to men! (they do have a line in "you could drive a person crazy" about "if they happened to be gay" and the three guys shrug and are like maybe?). i'll admit im a little disappointed they didn't still have Joanne be the one to proposition Bobbi. Instead, she offers her new husband which. Like, fine I guess? but couldn't we have a Joanne proposition still?
I do think they kept things mostly the same in "have i got a guy for you," but for "poor baby" (which i think is the funniest thing in the world), I think they had the guys worrying about Bobbi which I found interesting? You're so much more at risk of things sounding patronizing and I wasn't sure it totally worked for me given that it meant that the female characters were the ones not interested in Bobbi's love life when. probably aren't they the ones who want the tea and are invested and care that openly? maybe we're trying to break stereotypes? maybe i'm being normative here?
GOD YEAH THE "i'm not alone/you're still alone" is so the mountain goats "And I want to go home/but I am home"
I'm so glad you and pinya watched it and enjoyed it and that it SPARKED THOUGHTS, i love hearing what you have to say about it
