101 - Pilot




This post is for any and all discussion of the pilot episode! Squee, deep thoughts, random questions, we will take them all. Your ~feelings filtered through the medium of dance, song, .gif, vulcan poetry, absolutely anything.

There weren't many of us for the rewatch, but it was really good fun. The chat room as far as I can work out just stays there for all time, so if people do want to organise other times to chat for whatever reason, feel free to use it whenever.

Okay, here are some of my collected thoughts/questions about the pilot episode:

- How does anyone concentrate when Breckin Meyer's face is in the room?

- I've watched this episode a million times and never noticed before that Jared goes to the airport at the end in a bronco. I LOVE HIM. I love that he countered with a bronco, and I've been sad that they didn't get one because Peter is still driving something dull. But they totally did. They should take it everywhere.

- Everyone in chat was quite a lot agreed that post-fight hair was BEAUTIFUL and they should take more opportunities to ruffle each other up a bit.

- We were also kind of agreed that selling Jared's ass on sunset is a BEAUTIFUL PLAN. And that fic writers maybe need to get on that. They were SIX MONTHS BEHIND ON RENT THAT ONE TIME. And prostitution fic makes the world go round.

- I love everything about their entire relationship and I know it is sort of all I've said for the past three months, so I'm repeating myself, but whatever. They're just so so so good. So good. I love when Peter brings Jared pizza, and when he goes to find out why he's in trouble in the conference room, and that they fight and don't care, and that they know EVERYTHING about each other, and that they look at each other, and the WALL, THE AMAZING SADNESS OF A WALL OH GOD.

- I'm confused about the canon status of Jared/Hanna. Did they actually definitely have sex at some point? Because Hanna says that thing about how they did, but if you sort of twist EVERYTHING THEY SAY you can make it make sense that they didn't. And I want Jared to be quietly telling the truth while pretending to be lying, when he says he couldn't get it up.

- Blood Sport is totally one of the best films ever made.

- Peter singing makes me incapable of human noise.

- Actually as well as bringing Jared miniature pizza at the airport he brings Carmen hummus at the beginning. Is Peter brining people food when they want it a character trait they kept up with? Because obviously I needed more reasons to love him.

- I wasn't so sure about it when I first saw it, but now I think it's the best pilot episode of anything I've ever seen.

I totally didn't get the bronco thing, because I know shit about cars. I do laugh because it's clearly so very much bigger than he is though!

I second your shameless request for prostitution fic!

It does look as though Pindar interrupts proceedings between Jared and Hanna, so I was also a bit confused when she does the unicorns speech. Then again, I think I was too distracted by the unicorn imagery to concentrate on anything else!

[jekesta]

I think the first time with Hanna I was just distracted by loving her, and probably assumed I'd missed something in one of the other episodes. But now I do wonder if she's just been spreading the rumours herself - because she wants to make Damien jealous and is cross with him for breaking things off - and is cross with Jared for not going along with her rumours like she assumed he would.

(Or, she does come round to the cave in Jennifer Of Troy, all dressed up and stunning. Maybe they have a thing then that I'm just blanking on.)

I KNOW, RIGHT!!!! and they said on the web chat video that they didn't make many takes...maybe the unicorns casted a anti-Breckin's smiles spell for the crew and cast so it wouldn't be an inconvenience...
selling Jared's ass on sunset is a BEAUTIFUL PLAN
AGREE, I would sell everything I own to pay for that,lol, and was it just me or Carmen agreed too?

[jekesta]

I want so much to do scientific investigations into his smile. Maybe in person it isn't just confusing and blinding like I always assume. Maybe it just makes you feel warm and whole, and the cast just sort of glide through filming in a spell that just puts beauty into everything they do and gives meaning to their lives.

Or the unicorn thing, yes. The unicorns will NEVER STOP making sense.

and was it just me or Carmen agreed too?

*Everyone* agrees - Jared's ass should just be for sale, period! I so want to read this. If the urge doesn't go away, I may have to write it myself... ;o)

[jekesta]

I may have to write it myself...

I love that we basically don't get to see Jared's car because he never drives, since he and Peter go everywhere together and it wouldn't make sense to go in separate cars. <3

[jekesta]

I know! I don't even really believe they keep two cars, they are NEVER APART for more than ten minutes.
