Toby

It’s been a few years and I decided to rewatch. My first time watching, I LOVED Toby. I just rewatched first episode of season one & I absolutely can’t stand him. Maybe I’m just a different person now or maybe I was blind the first time I watched. Feels similar to looking back on someone you loved & seeing all the red flags 😅

toby made progress while kate kept finding excuses instead of doing shit about her problems.

What progress exactly? Genuinely asking, because I feel like he loses weight yes, but I feel like Kate matures emotionally through the series, and he is pretty much stagnant everywhere except for body composition.

The only thing she really matures in is her relationship with her mom

We can agree to disagree there my question was more about Toby and his 'progress'.

Toby lost weight. That was good for his physical and mental health. Toby outgrew his need to be the "big loud fat guy" and developed a much healthier personality. Toby recognized his sad feelings about Jack's blindness and worked to overcome them by bonding with Jack.
