I CANNOT BELIEVE all of the Watson hate. Her flashback EP is one of the best ones in the series, and I think she did great in it. I wish they actually kept developing her instead of letting her fall to the wayside.
PLUS, let's not forget that she was raised in extreme religion and was an awkward / talented girl in high school and NEVER acts the way she does now in her flashbacks.
She comes off as loud and cringe-worthy because she is trying horribly to fit in with her new friends (which she never had before) and failing spectacularly.
Girl is a great actress and captures her role perfectly.
Now...the real and true least talented actress on the show is Chang -- she has no diologue, no demand of emotion from her character, she just skates by. The girl who played her in her flashback had more dialogue than her ffs. I love Chang, but facts is facts.
