Jesse St James

Jonathan Groff as Jesse St James in Glee.

Speaking of Jonathan Groff who was highly prfesent in my last post, can we just take a moment to talk about how fabulous Jonathan Groff is as Jesse St James in Glee?! How cute and good is he?! Just amazing! I'm a little bit in love with Jonathan Groff right now! And I just can't get enough of Glee! Luckily I' ill right now so I ca see a lot of Glee. When my boyfriend doesn't want the TV...

Looking: the movie

Jonathan Groff in Looking: the movie.

I saw it yesterday. And... No. No no no. Well, let's take it from the beginning.

Jonathan Groff, Murray Bartlett & Frankie J. Alvarez.

Don't get me wrong, it was very well-made, it was fun and cosy to watch and the Looking-spirit was definitely there. I loved that! Defiitely. I've missed those guys. Especially Jonathan Groff. Patrick is so my favourite!

Jonathan Groff & Russel Tovey.

Of course, the scene with Patrick and Kevin was the best! Russel Tovey is just such a good actor! And not just because he's Britsh, just because he's fabulous! But, I did not approve of the ending. I don't want to spoil it all for you but...

Jonathan Groff & Raúl Castillo.

Must sayin'. Boring Richie... But at least there was a wedding. I'm going to b´miss Looking. And Jonathan Groff. A lot.

Looking for a plot

Russel Tovey & Jonathan Groff.

That was the name of the latest episode of Looking. And it ended as seen above. For me it was the perfect ending of an episode. Kevin also said that he was completely fucking in love with Patrick. Ok, I am a Patrick and Kevin shipper. For me it comes natural because I think itäs obvious that they are in love with each other and I like Kevin and I don't like Richie. Ok, Kevin has cheated on his long-term boyfriend Jon and that is never ok. But weirder things has happened, people do fall in love even though they are in a relationship. But there is something I hink is quite weird. On many different forums (gaydaytime, youtube etc) people seem to think that Kevin is a bastard deluxe and has lots and lot's of conspiracy ideas about him. I read some thoughts about that Kevin has not left Jon (which he told Patrick just before he said that about completely fucking in love) and instead it was Jon who left Kevin because he is a lying cheat. I read another thought about Kevin and Jon still being together but that Jon moved back to Seattle and Kevin is still having a secret affair with Patrick. I think both theories is highly unlikely. But what intrigues me so much is all the hatred for Kevin. I mean, couples where one of the parties has an affair is very common in both soaps and drama series. It happened in 90210 and Dallas, and it still happens. But this seems to sting more than before. In lot's of series the gay character is still in the closet and has a girlfriend when he falls in love wth another guy and has an affair with him before coming out of the closet and is celebrated for that, and the cheating is forgiven. But not in this case. Lot's and lot's of people despises with more frenzy than the world has seen before. I can't help wondering, is it just because he is gay and are cheating on his boyfriend with another man?

Kevin vs Richie

Ok, three reasons why I ship Patrick with Kevin and not with Richie:

Russel Tovey.

1. Russell Toveys ears.
I prefer Russell Toveys ears to Raúl Castillo's every day of the week. Who wouldn't?!

Jonathan Groff and Russel Tovey.

2. It is so obvious that Patrick and Kevin are in love.
I mean, the cuddling, the sex, do I need to say more?! Kevin just has to dump his boyfriend.

Raúl Castillo as Richie.

3. Richie is just soooo boring!
I mean really, really boring! He is even more boring than Miska in Salatut Elämät! And Felix in General Hospital! And that is reaaallly boring!

Patrick and Kevin ftw!

Looking season 2

The Looking cast.

So, yesterday season two of Looking started. Yay! And the start of the season has not made me dissapointed! This season will be two episodes longer than the last season and Russel Tovey and Raúl Castillo has joined Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez and Murray Bartlett as regulars. For me, Patrick's storyline (Jonathan Groff) is the most interesting. I can't wait to see what happens between him and Kevin! Russel Tovey is just so brilliant and british! I think that he and Jonathan Groff has amazing chemistry. I do not care for Richie. Just sayin'. Dom's and Agustín's storylines are not that interesting. At least, they were a bit boring in season 1. But I love the series and I can't wait to see how it develops for all the characters. I put my faith in HBO right now.

Looking

The last episode has been aired and it didn't leave me dissatisfied. And it will be a second season! Thank you HBO! There is lot's and lot's to like about the show. It is not censored like gay love often is on TV. This show is in fact about three gay men, so it would be a scandal if it was censored... But Looking feels really realistic without sugary cuteness and dramaqueers. It's quite ordinary but very sexy.

Murray Bartlett, Jonathan Groff and Frankie J. Alvarez.

Looking is about the three friends Dom Basaluzzo (Murray Bartlett), Patrick Murray(Jonathan Groff) and Agustín Lanuez (Frankie J. Alvarez) who are more or less unsuccessful in love and work. Sometimes they get laid, and sometimes not. I'm sure they have slept together in lost times as well. They are quite ordinary and it's refreshing to see some gay characters who are adults.

Patrick and Kevin.

For me the character of Patrick is the most interesting and the others works as supporting rolls in his storyline in a way. I hope that the second season will let us get to know Dom and Augustin better. Eight episodes are really not that much. I especially like the interaction between Patrick and his boss Kevin played bu Russell Tovey. Richie (Patricks boyfriend) is a nice guy, but Kevin is the shit! He is handsome, British and has big ears, what's not to like? For me he is the obvious choice för Patrick. I really need to see Glee now... To bad it's a whole year until the next season... We need more gays on TV and we need lots of Looking!
