Yay! Today was the day! Noah finally admitted that he is gay! Hooray! What a day! Now, let's go outside and play! Alright, alright... no more lame rhyme schemes and on to the point of discussion for today.
I was pretty upset with Noah and how he treated Luke yesterday. He seemed to have already forgotten the fact that while, no, Luke's biological father Damian is indeed not as evil as Winston is, their stories really aren't that dissimilar. Last year, Damian attempted and almost succeeded at trying to send Luke to a camp that tries to turn gay teens straight. Also before coming out, he and friend Jade Taylor masqueraded together as boyfriend and girlfriend, the only difference being that it was the plan from the get-go, even managing to fool Lily into thinking that they slept together. So he couldn't be that far off in knowing how Noah feels.
Lily actually had tried to talk some sense into Winston's severely warped mind about what's going on with Noah and Luke. Even as to tell him that she didn't deal with it that easily in the beginning either. I commend her for that so much, though, but of course, sadly it didn't work, and about 25 percent of me wanted her to just knee him in the crotch in the end after he had the gall to judge she and Holden's parenting skills. Especially considering that he's known her for only fifteen seconds. Yeah, I hate him that much. And it kind of fell on deaf ears, but Lily visiting WOAK to try to comfort Noah was rather unexpected and a really nice surprise.
I was so happy to see that Noah's finally ready to accept who he is today. And I was wondering how this would finally happen, and it was his talk with Maddie. Maddie's right. Luke is a really good guy and he'd be lucky to have him. And he really should be himself, for himself. Like I said last time, denial really runs in the Mayer family. I mean, for a while it was really like trying to tell the big guy that turkeys can't fly. I wish I still had the confetti to throw for today. God, I feel like Rip Taylor. I'm so relieved that the denial on Noah's part seems to be coming to an end. Noah's feeling better about himself, and he realizes he's got people. He's got Luke, he's got Maddie, and he's even got Lily -- but heaven will only know how he feels when he finds out that the supposed "good" man he's been defending all this time is a cold-blooded killer, the killer of his mother, no less.
The acting has been continuing to impress me as far as this storyline goes. I think Jake Silbermann is doing a top-notch job at portraying what the closet can really do to someone. Van did a really good job yesterday and today too. I felt so bad for Luke yesterday. Not only having the argument with Luke but the scene with Maddie. And again, Alexandra Chando did a really bang-up job. And also again, Daniel Hugh-Kelly is amazing at playing one evil effed up dude. I'm impressed with the acting except for one little thing... Grayson McCouch (Dusty, the guy Win's framing for Cheri's killing) needs to work on his fainting skills. I know it's not supposed to be amusing, but when he faints for whatever reason, it's hilarious every time. It just seems like he does this little dance or something on the way to the floor. It's very overdramatic and it just comes off as humorous.
There are days when I worry about how the show is going and then there are the past couple of days that show that a good episode or two can be pulled out with great effort. If only 95 percent of the other storylines were this good, the show would be on easy street.
