We pick up our tale two weeks later, deep into the darkness that was the Barbara/Chuckles Summer of Screentime-Hogging Captivity. Luke (sporting some delightful chest hair) and Reid adorably play chess and bicker like an old married couple. Luke wonders when Reid's going to ask Bob for his job back, and Reid replies, "That's gonna put your knight ( Read more... )

I hate the repetitiveness too but I'll chalk it up to Reid not officially accepting the job yet in the last episode, which is why Bob offers it to him a 2nd time. Reid seems to loathe Invicta and maybe hasn't fully decided to hop back on board until Invicta is gone--maybe? And maybe Luke had to formally resign (you know, with like a handwritten memo or something) instead of just verbally announcing it as he previously did to Bob and Mona. Maybe? Maybe? Nah, probably not but that's how I can stomach the confusing writing.

Anyway, I love this episode because Luke and Reid ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP, PEOPLE! Never thought they'd officially get to be a couple on the show but they were, they are! And Reid "willing to make an exception" for Luke is just all sorts of wonderful. *sighs dreamily* (much like Luke did later that night in his bed)

Oh, and Luke sticking up for Reid--I know Reid adores that!

I too can just watch them play chess and talk and flirt ALL DAY.

I think it was because they hadn't been on in two weeks, so they figured we'd all have forgotten what happened. :|

They are totes in a relationship! *happy sigh*

REID IS ALREADY A FUCKING PERSON.

So much WORD! As someone who tends to be socially awkward myself, I really hated the way they went from saying Reid needed to work on his people skills (which was fair) to implying that a lack of people skills means you are somehow less than a person. Between that and huge holes in continuity, it's kind of amazing how an episode with so much fail could also have so much awesome at the same time.

bigboobedcanuck June 16 2011, 16:33:00 UTC

It really is a remarkable combination of fail and awesome. Seriously, being cranky sometimes doesn't mean someone is not a HUMAN BEING. Gah!

I 100% agree with your rant BBC! Reid is already a great person.

I do like seeing Luke feeling needed and wanted.Yay for Luke feeling appreciated! I enjoyed the chemistry between them in this episode too. We did get Luke with that finger in his mouth, Luke manhandling Reid a little, and Reid being suggestive about skipping that movie. That was all swoon-worthy! As far as I'm concerned, they skipped the movie and all that "relationship" stuff because they headed upstairs, got naked, and celebrated Reid's job.

I really try to focus on the positive, but sometimes you just have to rant!

jacob1206 June 16 2011, 13:27:13 UTC

Sadly, in Oakdale celebrating consists of strolling through Old Town. Can they at least hold hands? Sheesh.

Yea verily.

This is one of my most consistent rants and an affront that I won't easily get over. It was SO reidiculous that they were not holding hands at this moment and even more so obvious that they should be. So much so, in fact, that it seemed as if Eric and Van were trying to hold themselves back from doing what their characters would naturally be doing by stuffing their hands in their pockets. This was a moment between them that I adored, which would have jumped off the end of the "love" meter if they had just been able to play their characters. And look at poor cockblocked Luke. There's no sunshine when Reid is gone. Stupid show.

Yeah, it makes it even more stark. And we know from Forbes March (Mason) that every time he put a hand on Jake's shoulder, they stopped filming and the PTB would have a conference about it. Gah.

jacob1206 June 16 2011, 16:58:24 UTC

Wha? I bet if they had been straight and patted each other on the ass during a brutal football game, no one would have blinked an eye. Idiots.

bigboobedcanuck June 16 2011, 17:09:24 UTC

Yeah, he said in an interview that every single touch had to be vetted. Sigh.

_alicesprings June 16 2011, 13:32:01 UTC

I might be back later with something slightly more insightful to add, but for now I'll just say REID LOOKS SO FUCKING HOT IN THAT BLACK SWEATER, ADSDFGHJKHJGHFDSWERTRTFJGYKHJ!!!

WHY OH WHY DID HE ONLY WEAR IT ONCE??? :(((((((((( Did we really need to see him in that freaking marooney coloured shirt 59 times? No. Black sweater? Hell yes.

That is all.

amelialourdes June 16 2011, 16:24:57 UTC

I KNOW, RIGHT?

bigboobedcanuck June 16 2011, 16:35:40 UTC

It's seriously wrong that he only wore it once!!!!!!

jacob1206 June 16 2011, 16:35:54 UTC

I could not agree more Alice. I loved him in it so much that I affectionately refer to it as Black Sweater Day. Fucking hot indeed. Maybe the blazing hot scorch from his sex appeal melted it to ashes.

WTF is up with wardrobe? We didn't have enough days! With the black sweater! And shirtless Reid! And now that you've reminded me of the maroon shirt...and shirtless Reid, I must digress *licks* :
