c’mon, that can’t be it - >!isaac being rude and unfair to colin for days (weeks?) “just” because he was hurt colin hadn’t told him he was gay!<.
throughout the episodes i kept thinking: there must be something more, something deeper. >!when isaac showed up at colin’s place i was sure we’d get some emotional story or insight into isaac’s life. but no:!<
!“you lied to me. for years.” !<
!and:!<
!“What is it about me that made you think you couldn’t tell me?”!<
!i GET that isaac would ask himself that. but colin didn’t keep just this from him, he kept it from anyone; why would isaac feel that he should take it so personally? yes, the two of them have been shown to have some bond over bullying nate in S1, but other than that i don’t remember them being shown to be sooo close that it would justify isaac making the whole thing about himself.!<
what am i missing here?
I kinda have the same issues with that plot. I’ve decided my issue with it is that the riff lasted too long and Isaac comes off worse because of it.
It starts in the middle of episode 8 and then it isn’t touched on again until the next episode and then we get an entire episode essentially of Isaac handling the situation horribly at EVERY chance. And even though I know Isaac isn’t homophobic he keeps handling it SO poorly that you start second guessing it because what else could it be at this point. I remember when he removes his hand from Colin’s on the team cheer I was shocked and thought they were about to ruin Isaac’s character.
I understood his reasoning (even though I disagree with the way it was done) when he said it at the end, but it would have worked better if they started and ended that plot in the same episode, and maybe cut some of Isaac being awful.
They went waaay to far. Things should be weird between them but not straight up hostile, and he should have apologized for thinking he is owed a coming out.
