Tape 5, Side A (#1.9)
ComedyFan20107 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
So we go on now to the episode that has so far the worst thing happening in it. Only Hannah isn't even the victim. Jessica is. And Hannah had more chances to stop it from happening than Justin who was kicked out of the room when he tried to stop it. I believe Justin more that he was caring about Jessica. I wonder why Hannah made it into the tape again claiming to be a victim.

The rape scene was very well done. Really horrible. I also liked the scene when Justin came to see Jessica at the end. One can see that he loves her. I wonder where it will go from there.

And I wonder what is next. Will there be worse things happening?

Clay's motivations - story within the story

Warning: Spoilers
Sort of review and reply to Harhaluulo54 at the same time...

Indeed, someone hid drugs in Clay's backpack and yes, he is not blaming anyone (although one might argue, he does, but does not let anybody see it). At first I thought the same: He is acting out of character. But after thinking again I realize: That is exactly the kind of behavior you would expect from Clay.

Two reasons: First, he may be many things but stupid is not one of them. He knew he was framed and he is pretty sure by whom. (Or at least he could pin it down to 2-3 people.) But what good would it do? He is still unsure how to solve the whole Hannah-situation, but in his head (wild guessing) he is forming a kind of plan, as we see when he visits Justin. And blaming all the ones guilty of driving Hannah to her suicide would interfere with his plan.

Second and far more important: Maybe he does not care at all, because his focus is all about Hannah. He lost himself in his struggle or coping with Hannah's story. In a sort of unhealthy way that may even seem romantic, disregarding everything but Hannah. He is a complicated character, a complicated boy, who is over-challenged (right word?) and not able to cope with his situation in a healthy, sensible way. Instead he goes all-in, throwing every emotion he feels into his understanding of Hannah's tapes.

So on a second or even third level of the story, we have a young man, doing what he thinks is right, albeit not knowing that this may be just a wrong turn. But hey, he _is_ a young man and young people have the right to make bad decisions for the right reasons. (Indeed we all do some times, I guess.) And that's why this episode is getting my 9 of 10 stars.

Against everything this series is.
Harhaluulo547 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
In this episode, the main character forgot what he has been repeating the whole season.

In all the other episodes the main characters goes blaming everyone for Hannah's death like: This is exactly the reason why Hannah killed herself and we are responsible.

In this episode when someone hides drugs in his back, instead of repeating this sentence he has repeated million times before, he completely forgets it. He basically didn't go out of character, he went out off SHOW.

Basically, the same people who he has been blaming the whole season are now doing the same thing to him as they did to Hannah. The same thing he thinks caused Hannah's death is now been done to him. And now he doesn't point it out? The only time he should have said it he didn't say it. What a hypocrite.

Warning: Spoilers
This Episode begins with Clay, she asks Jessica what happened between her and Justin. Hannah has changed her entire appearance. Olivia and Andy are having a brawl about Hannah. Clay got arrested at school, because he had drugs in his bag. Hannah sees that Jessica and Justin are kissing, she is not happy with that. Clay got suspended for three days at school. Clay and Hannah are having fun at a party together. Clay tells his mother Lainie that Hannah was a friend of him. Clay discovered that Bryce raped Jessica. Clay begins with Hannah's 10th tape. Amazing Episode of 13 Reasons Why Season 1, this was the best Episode so far. So intense!

What kind of person watches someone get raped? Wow..that's deep..a true coward... unbelievable! I guess that would be a lot to live with. Maybe that is why she killed herself because that is some horrible crap! She is blaming people..no that was so awful..

The rules to post are so stupid. lauging out loud...I can't capitalize all my letters..i can't use slang or it is considered misspelled..
