I had a lot of the same thoughts you did while watching this episode so it cracks me up reading this.

My thoughts on Emmett though are he wasn't really weak to fall for it because he didn't fall for it.
He's always been a pretty loyal genuine guy.
And he convinced himself that his God to promise needed to be fulfilled.
So even though you could tell he didn't believe in the groups shit he WANTED to believe in the group's shit.
And that's why he went along with it.

Emmett is just that kinda guy.
He does what he says he's gonna do.
He doesn't half ass shit.

Glad you found my recap entertaining :]

So, what you're saying is that he is a strong character, after all, because he wanted to stay true to his promise?
I do understand that reasoning, though I wouldn't take Emmett as someone applying this quality on this particular issue. Judging by the snippets of his background we learn throughout the show, it must have been quite an ordeal for him to come out. You wouldn't go back in the closet after living through that, not for anything, in my opinion.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

Love your recaps!

[sakesushimaki]

Yay, thank you! :D

Okay, during my screencap-a-thons? I get a ridiculous craving for burgers and fries when I'm watching them eat. Why? Most of the time, on screen, they eat burgers, fries, some fruit, large breakfasts, etc. I see Brian picking at his plate and what does he usually pick up? Fries. I'm sure he works them all off either in bed or at the gym but his rule is no carbs after 7. Before that? Free for all.

lmao pasta sex. I giggled.

... getting involved in the other’s problems would be considered perfectly normal, right?

YES. Unlike the other things that Michael shouldn't get himself involved in, this problem is actually important and relevant. Your BFF should have your back and your boyfriend shouldn't be an asshole about it.

Have there been other occasions where she calls him that throughout the series?I'm sure that she does! I can't think of any at the moment but I think that she calls him a "little shit" more than she calls him by his name or nickname. I also have a very love/hate relationship with Debbie. This is one of those

You do QAF screencaps?

I WANT

[amelialourdes]

Why yes I do! She linked me at the top of the post. I run www.qafcaps.com! :)

Omg I love you.

I've been looking for some Brian caps for awhile now.
I wanted to make him my desktop.

I feel like I just struck gold.

as Lindsay shows up, who gladly accepts money from Brian who is in the middle of a law-suit and very possibly out of a job. Oookay.
I know, right?! That's just, just...ack, let's not go there. :|

Brian eats fries.
I completely forgot about that. I thought the first time we saw him stuffing carb-soaked things into his mouth was 307. I was wrong. OMG.

Emmett and Heather having sex? I felt uncomfortable watching it, so the actors did a great job, I guess. =)

'Pasta-sex' will haunt me for all eternity now, wahhh. XD

[sakesushimaki]

alsdfajö! I know! We totally forget about the times Brian eats unhealthy foods in favor of the crazy dietary image we have of him. An image cultivated by fanfic and the "no carbs after 7" rule that we chose to blow out of proportion.

Wait, 307? Oh! I see! Your theory was that Brian started eating junk food in order to fill the Justin void! y/y? :D

'Pasta-sex' will haunt me for all eternity now
That was not my intention at all, sorries. :> I didn't even find it funny when I wrote it. Strange.

We should start a Canon vs Fanon collection with the most popular discrepancies, such as
1. Brian does eat more than 500 calories per day. In fact, he's been known to eat junk. Before 7pm, everything is fair game.
2. Brian's favorite fruit is not mango. He never once eats it on the show.
3. Justin's middle name is not Craig. At least it was never mentioned.
...

[lemonbargirl]

Well, not really, but the fries munching after his "Someone didn't sleep at home" line got stuck in my head and I kinda thought that was the only time, meh. And 307 would be a bit late to start Justin-void-filling-junk food-orgies, no?
I like the theory though. :D

I'd like to add to the collection:
4. No, Justin does not eat all the time. Please!

Justin's middle name is supposed to be Craig according to some ff writers? Hmm, maybe they got carried away by Randy C. Harrison? Ha!

[sakesushimaki]

I like the theory though.
That's all that counts. :]

I'd like to add to the collection:
4. No, Justin does not eat all the time. Please!
Ha ha. Added!

Hmm, maybe they got carried away by Randy C. Harrison?
You so smart! D: I have no idea where else they would've gotten it. I can not recall the C initial ever popping up. I don't even know where everyone got the "Brian A. Kinney" from, but I was told several times that that one is actually canon. *shrugs*
So, dunno, maybe the authors figure that since Brian (allegedly) has a middle name, Justin needs one as well? Middle names is where you start the fight for equality!
