There's nothing worse on this site when people express "rumors" without providing who they are talking about.

Just curious, did anyone find the line school shooter chic and the suggestion that it would have been wrong if Evan and Connor were gay in poor taste? Or is it just me...
The difference between the movie and the show is that the movie had heart, whereas the show is pure sugar. Nothing wrong with the show being that, it's extremely entertaining, but like sugar, leaves you feeling kind of empty later.

I think you meant at all times vs. at times. No chemistry between the two leads. And it didn't make sense for her alternative choice to be so dashing.

Why should I? If you enjoyed it, great! Its all subjective, which you cannot understand for the life of you, instead you attack other peoples opinions for them not being the same as yours. Its pathetic and childish."
It's called having good taste and being an intelligent theatre-goer. I admire your passion in this silly debate.
