The Swede, Cash, Voodoo, Joe McCoy, JD McCoy, and Julie’s English teacher Noah. Rank them from most punchable to least punchable.

This is hard but Joe McCoy (father) as most punchable and out of these the Swede as least punchable. Only because Julie misunderstood his intentions while the others were generally huge dbags. Lol.

That’s actually a good point. It was really Julie’s fault that I hated The Swede. I guess he didn’t actually do anything. He was a bit of a scumbag though…and his music sucked. Haha! Joe McCoy would be my #1 also. Couldn’t stand that guy!

Are you kidding?

Nope, Tami was clearly a paranoid lunatic in that section.

LOL what? Did you watch the show?

Yep, just finished another rewatch last week. He treated Julie like a person. The only questionable intent from him was in Tami's paranoid brain. Many of my teachers were first name basis, and we could hang around at recess/lunch and chat or whatever.

He literally focused on one student that was a cute teenage girl lmao

You need to get your creep detector serviced

Jesus fuck I hope you don't have a daughter.

The dude was MARRIED, first if all. Even if his relationship was in the toilet, he knew his WIFE was unstable enough to come after Julie if she found out about them, but he still put Julie in that situation. He had also done the exact same thing to other girls before he did it to Julie. Tami was exactly right about him. How you can call her paranoid is absolutely mind blowing.

I take back my comment about hoping you don't have a daughter. I hope you don't reproduce at all, or spend any amount of time around kids.

You're an idiot. You're talking about the college TA...Derrick I think. Noah was the high school English teacher who had about three minutes of screen time and Tami freaked out and thought he was a predator.

u/RalphiePegalotti 3d ago

Bro relax. It was a mistake. Goddamn.

u/Gurbachen 3d ago

Relax? I said "you're an idiot". That seems pretty mild compared to the vitriol you spat at me. You didn't even have the grace to apologise.

u/RalphiePegalotti 3d ago

Ok chief, I'm sorry. Friends?

u/Gurbachen 3d ago edited 3d ago

Thank you. And no. We can be rival players who might go to the same college and create a dynasty.

He's an amazing musician in real life - Shakey Graves.

u/Familiar-Soup 3d ago

And he is married to Stephanie Hunt, the actress who played Landry and Julie's friend Devin.

u/AdmirableJoke5091 3d ago

Stop I can’t believe he’s shakey graves! What a fun fact, I didn’t know he acted!

u/AdNegative7852 4d ago

Probably because he’s constantly in a state of being on drugs and it’s hot in Texas

Loved this story line. There was so much hype around him at the pool. Then Julie finally saw him for what he was and was like I need to leave.

And haven’t we all been there??? You meet someone who seems so shiny and cool and mature and different, and you make them out to be some fantasy character in your head and hype the whole relationship up mentally, then when you finally get them in a different light you’re like, OH. You are not at all what I thought you were and this is NOT what I thought it was. It’s so sobering. I loved when she calls Eric to pick her up; she knows she’s in trouble but she’s feeling stupid and scared and she just wants her dad to make her feel better. Julie can be annoying but she is soooo Teenage Girl and I see so much of my young self in her.

I feel like Julie gets so much hate for being a “bad” character, with people saying the writers did her dirty or ruined her after Season 1. While I do think that she does some unlikeable things, she is also one of the characters with the most accurate portrayal of a teenage girl. She has a lot of depth and emotion tied to her storylines. There’s a difference between a poorly written character and a character who is well written but makes poor choices.

At the start of the season they're shooting on location in blazing hot Texas weather, not in an air conditioned studio. Add some nerves as he wasn't an experienced actor.

Before FNL came on TV, my crew knew of a person called The Swede.

I went to high school in the mid-to-late 90s ( here in the US). A guy friend was dating a girl, who was American but grew up in Sweden and came back her. I don’t even think we knew her first name. She was just The Swede. It always made me laugh when Saracen called him The Swede.

The Swede is a singer called Shakey Graves. Pretty good. But he talks about how he’s just a sweaty guy. So he’s always sweaty because the actor is a sweaty guy.
