I did hate Imogen less after this but she wasn’t necessary and they didn’t need her to be this annoying.
But also Tao is my favorite character (well maybe tied with Nick) and I find his anxieties about how romantic connections change friendships BY FAR the most relatable thing here even in a story that is so much about working through one’s bisexuality lol
I quite like the way Imogen evolved in this episode. I felt like she was being set up to be an unnecessary and predictable conflict but the show, once again, subverted my expectations in how the Sunday at the park scene went.
I wanted to hug her for how she handled the questions about the date with their sentient meatball friends.
I meant to say this a couple of episodes back when you mentioned it, but I'm totally with you on the miscasting of Simon's dog in Love, Simon. But then I think that movie was badly cast from top to bottom.
Jennifer Garner: very good actress, but highly unbelievable as a mother whose very confidently gay son wouldn't come out to her. (It's more believable that a bi kid having a gay panic wouldn't come out to Olivia Colman, but it's a fine line).
For me it was more in the casting of Simon's friends. Abby was okay, but Leah and the guy whose name escapes me were nothing like they were in the book.

But Annemarie, her DOG died. (This tracks for you.)
I like to think I behave a little better than Tao, but tbh I’m probably not above getting into a brawl over it
Agree with you on Tao, I find his anxiety totally relatable and realistic.
I also think that Tao intuits or understands he has privilege relative to Charlie/Elle and he adopts a defensive/protective stance as a result.

Isaac is the best.
