There is so much I could say about this episode, but I have coffee and have mellowed out my HORRIBLE RAGE quite a bit. Now I'm just cheerful ( Read more... )

I'd defend Ben, but uh... assy. Yes.

There is no way Ben could have phrased that to not piss me off, especially to Michael, who is so freaking insecure anyway. It just really hit in the apartment, with Michael apologizing for having a differing opinion. Just. Ouch.

Grrr. And I don't even *like* Michael that much, but damn. Putting down your boyfriend's education is just...ack.

That was great!!! I agree with most of what you said!!! Especially this:

2.) Cody, if you could be more annoying, I would have you killed. Your hysteria, your weirdness, your sheer inability to get along in normal society--how is it that you are still alive? I am boggled. But I forgive a lot, because you gave Justin a gun, and Brian got to cuddle it, and really, I thank you. I still hate you, because you are nasty to Daphne creep me out in entirely non-hot ways, but still. Thank you.

LMAO!!!

That gun makes up for a lot of things. Mmm. Brian/guns. Yummy.

Really good point about Justin's timing. I need to think about that for a while, and possibly get scared.

Also:
He *is* a writer. And also, comic books require a certain clarity of plot and development of character or they wouldn't sell, no matter how many blowjobs we are talking about. If Michael says your story lacks plot, take a second and look at his comic sales, then take a second and think, hmm. Because auto-dismissive on the point of *education* just pisses me off in so many ways.

YES. Oh my god. Yes. Totally.

(Coherency is not my friend at the moment.)

I was ready for everything but the way Justin just instantly calmed down, and *then* cocking it. That just scared me. I don't think right or wrong had anything to do with that moment, and I dont' think he decided not to because of pity or because he realized he had *lost his mind*. He knew exactly what he was doing, it was in his face.

See, now I'm not sure *why* he didn't do it. I though I knew, and now, I don't.

Regarding Ben:

GRRRRR. That just pissed. Me. Off.

Ben: even I felt that slap on the dance floor at babylon.
Cold baby, cold.

Cody: Like Jiminiy Crickett on crack after he's made a pact with the devil. "Be bad Justin. Straight people are evil so you must shoot Chris."

OMG, Jenn, this is why I friended you . . . twistinside82 May 16 2004, 21:46:59 UTC
Could you have put it any better? I don't think so.
Let me just say that I was catching up reading LJ's about an hour before the show, and then when I saw the show and Ben did his whole hurt-by-the-constructive-criticism thing I said to my friend E. who watches the show with me, who has *no* idea who you are "Jenn is going to have a lot to say about this" and she just said "Hm." But anyway, yes. I *love* Ben, but your hatred is so amusing that I'm glad it was fed!
And Brian. Brian. Brian. There should definitely be more. And more. And more. And, oh, did I mention *more*??
Um, yes. That's all. Just felt like commenting.

*starts laughing*

God, I am predictible. But still. It just hurt. Grrr to Ben and his education, dammit. GRRR I say!

And Brian. Brian. Brian. There should definitely be more. And more. And more. And, oh, did I mention *more*??
Um, yes. That's all. Just felt like commenting.

Brian, Brian, Brian, the axis on which I turn, or wish I did, metaphorically speaking, and yes, we need more. It scares me I look forward to SCARY FUTURE EPS because it means more Brian.

*cuddles Brian hard*

And thanks for stopping by to comment! *hugs you as well*
