discussion post: What happened between Bob's ultimatum and the hospital tour?

May 31, 2011 07:28

The hospital tour is coming up on Thursdays rewatch. Luke and Reid are very couply in their irritation with each other, and Luke has that "What the hell is up with you today?" attitude towards his apparent boyfriend. Then when Luke finds out about the ultimatum, he's all, "How could you do this to me? I took a chance on you...blah, blah, blah ( Read more... )

I think the idea of creating gap fillers for these two episodes is a great one. It didn't make a lot of sense for them to go from the hospital break room scene to the next episode where Luke acts like they're in a committed relationship. In fact, when I first saw the episode, I was really annoyed as all get out at Luke [and this is from someone who adores Luke pretty much regardless ( ... )

I can kind of see why Luke freaked out, given his past experience with Noah, but I also think he really wasn't listening to Reid. Reid even said something like, "You know that's not how it is" or something like that, almost pleading with Luke like, "C'mon, dude...this is me..." But in a way, it's better that Luke got mad, rather than feeling hurt like he would with Noah, but the best would have been if they had talked it out and come to a compromise, but then it wouldn't be a soap ( ... )

I totally agree that Luke should have listened to Reid and that he was out of line. It's just I'm judging him a lot less harshly about it than I originally did. If Luke had just not flown off the handle and had agreed to listen to what Reid was saying then it would have saved them weeks of angst. And conversely, if Reid had told Luke about the ultimatum earlier when Luke was asking him what was wrong, I think Luke would have listened to him. I think the fact that Reid didn't even bother to tell him about it made Luke feel stupid and ridiculous.

I agree.

MEN! :D

"Weeks of angst." Wasn't this during the time when they weren't even on some weeks? Gah...we were all beside ourselves, weren't we? hahaha...

Okay so here's what happened:

Luke and Reid went out to Al's and had some cornbread and chili. Reid got to make fun of Henry practically all evening. Luke told Reid about his crazy family and his parents on-again, off-again relationship which basically screwed up his younger siblings and he kinda has to pick up the mess. There are lots of hot little kisses going on along with some groping under the table.

This leads to a make-out session in Luke's car which naturally gets all hot and heavy. Now those boys are incredibly turned on. All throughout that day Reid had been trying to tell Luke about the ultimatum but he kept putting it off since Luke was all disgustingly happy and everything. Of course, he didn't want to ruin that because the awesomest thing in the world for Reid would be to see Luke smile.

Oh, and this would continually happen for a few weeks or so with the venue's changing i.e. Katie's, the Lilypad, movie theater, Java, etc.

YES! This *so* happened. All over town. :)

I've been mulling this one over all day. Here's what I came up with. http://kccalgal.livejournal.com/8891.html
