Didn’t know that! So cool, that’s my favorite, that’s how gone girl was for me since Flynn wrote her screenplay for the movie as well

I love this scene - it made me cry even though it wasn't overtly emotional. It captures so beautifully the pain when you encounter a past love, someone who broke your heart, and you have to sit there pretending like everything is okay, making small talk, when deep down all you want to do is talk about the way things were. It's a combination of heartache but also happiness to see that person again. Daisy and Paul captured this so well.

Your comment took me by surprise as it's redolent of something most people will have experienced but struggle to express. I met a past love (it was transient and intense) while she was briefly visiting my home town. It was unexpected for both of us. We hadn't spoken for years after she broke it off. I had been angry, as I felt she messed me around, she sent me an equally angry response and we went about separate lives. Neither of us married or had kids but I found a new relationship that has been wonderful, more than I could have ever hoped for. A decade later she sends me a text message asking "how I am?" Apologising for her mail. I responded that neither of us behaved well and we are better than the people who sent those emails. She agreed and then friended me on FB. I'm in a new relationship and that was obvious to her. After some initial relief I didn't think much of the exchange. Nothing happened until we met coincidentally one Saturday morning. She approached me, clearly upset. I remember smiling and instinctively opened my arms for a hug. She embraced me, near whispered "I'm sorry" and gently kissed me on the lips. It was fleeting without any need to reciprocate. She then said "I have to go.. But I'm staying at... " and hurried off. I pondered what had happened and imagined closure, whatever that meant, would be impossible or illusory. I haven't met her since. The present and future have more than enough to occupy me besides dwelling on past hypotheticals. We both knew in a few moments that affection remained, or that's how I remember it. I haven't thought about that morning for years, until I read your comment. I suspect that a spark remains for many people for their past loves but it's distant light reaching us from a star that burned out when the romance ended. Star gazing can be diverting but we are earth-bound creatures and we need to put most of our attentions on the ground in front of us to avoid tripping up. The older I get the more comfortable I am with the realisation of those hypotheticals being left in the past or occasional wry smiles at the heavens.

especially because it was Connell who was popular in high school and Marianne was not. Roles reversed a bit but will say Marianne helped him more in college and highschool that he did her.

I love how in the beginning she's trying to act "cool" on the outside. However, as the conversation progresses she begins to open up and expose her true emotions. Subtle but really well done, what a show.

The part when Marianne called Connell in the middle of the night and told him “I miss having you in my life.” I cried.

"What's not to like about you?" I die every time.

I'm glad that they don't try to act like Marianne wasn't attractive during her school days, as she was always pretty, which Connell even acknowledges. She just puts more of an effort into her appearance while at college, like many people who find their "calling" in college. 🎓😊💗

And the reason she gets popular in college is not because she's attractive physically but because she's super smart, popular and started putting effort in dressing herself.

“What’s not to like about you” is such a warm/comforting thing to hear

Many times Marianne subtly (or maybe not so subtly) checks Connell out with her eyes. She conveys that hunger, that lust in her eyes. Connell has such a sweet persona, someone who isn't that sure of himself yet who is undeniably sweet and kind.

Even the sex scenes were so beautiful because it showed how their connection climaxed into this special thing.

Very powerful and sweet question to Connell @3:11 "What's not to like about you?"

Geez, such great actors. I always thought that Paul Mescal with his sudden physical nuances was amazing but after rewatching this scene I realized how amazing is Daisy as well. In the way she anticipates in the dialogue and how - with her voice tones changes - unselfishly assists Paul in his delivery is amazing. Looking forward to see them again soon in another project.

the pacing of these scenes and the whole show, in general, is so true to the book and just really captures the feeling you get from their interactions

The last 'I don't know' is very powerful. I relate to it a lot, the really not knowing why.

First scene I ever see of this show. Just randomly suggested by KZread. And yet, I feel like I know everything about these two, their past, their possible futures... so gripping. Awesome scene, great acting, incredible writing.

I think it's the only series I watched a second time immediatly after finishing it.

Love him getting taste of his own medicine

I honestly can't believe how honest Paul Mescal seems even when he's "acting". How does he do that?

In the book, when she said 'What's nothing to like about you.' he blushed knowing she still finds him attractive. He was happy.

I love this particular scene. So so intense and so warm at the same time.

One of the best scenes in the show. It just feels so... intimate and real. Also, it introduced me to dogwood blossom, which became one of my favorite songs.

I am so late to this and only watching now. What is profound is the dialogue and the space and intermittent silence given to it. The accent is a given but the intonation, wow! Just superb writing, directing but the two leads and his Ma ( Sarah Greene) just another level. Mind blown 👏🏾

Electric. I would love to be loved like Connell.

crowd noise slowly getting quieter is really nice

They have the perfect chemistry and they are in love but it's better if they just don't see each other. They have a very complicated and painful relationship

Incredible show. So well captures love and human communication, and the lack of it. Wonder how better peoples lives would be if we were taught how to communicate early on in life. Once you know, it’s late in life. Love is about chemistry, but long love is about communication.

Doesn't matter How many times you watch this shows, you watch again And again because still still feels like something is missing..

"It's not" how to gut a dude with a simple declarative statement - well played Marianne - win the battle and lose the war

So much chemistry with just a few short dialogues… 🥰 🔥

Such a powerful scene. Loved researching them when making my video on Marianne and Connell's love story ❤

this scene hits different when you have a complicated (& miscommunicated) situationship and you run into each other a while later at a function and theres so much you want to talk about but youre incapable of actually going there and its awkward and achy but also you feel so safe to be talking to them again yes im projecting

I will be forever in love with these two.

I wasn't in love with this series during my first watch of it in 2020, but I think I might re-visit it someday just to feel the emotions all over again.

I have watched this a billion times

Frank Ocean was perfect for this episode

The series has maaany scenes I love, I mean how it could be so perfect, I wonder If it is sth I don't like. Here of course I love chemistry which I think it is not playing because it's not even possible so realistic. The way Marianne say "sorry' that Connel break up with Rachel or saying Connel is telepathic and then ' in bed you mean'. And of course "it's not" with her face and pain and sorrow. And what I absolutely love about these scene is when Marianne says " I know, it's classic me, came to college and pretty' omg her face and everythinggg, and she's tryin to be funny with this conversation but in fact there are so many feelings in, an excitement, relief, joy, pain, sorrow. And the way he feels insecure right now in college, and she's is confident. I might think that when she said "probably why I am good in it' she seems malignant for what he treated her in school. When Connell sayin he's not in type of girls he dont even know with the feeling he just want to be in Marianne's type, and of course when Marianne says "What's not to like about you?" with the meaning she loves him and she misses him with so much pain. WOW
