105 - You Can't Take It With You


TV Rage - "A family is torn as one side sues the other over a priceless 1988 home-run baseball in a case that pits Jared against his own father. Meanwhile, Peter works with Hanna on defending a reality television father who is affectionately known as the "Douchey Dad." And Karp comes to Pindar for help on a top-secret project involving a compromising video."





I have no idea why Mondays are so impossible, but it's a Tuesday again already, so there we are.

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS EPISODE. I love the a-plot, I love the b-plot, and I love the c-plot. I love Jared's daddy issues, and Peter's understanding, I love THEIR IMMENSE ALL CONSUMING LOVE, I love their prettiness, I love Damien/Pindar, I love Hanna and Carmen and all the guest characters. I love Peter and Jared on the bridge and in the diner and in court and in their kitchen and in prison.

You should comment and discuss intricate things and I will attempt to have thoughts, but ALL MY THOUGHTS are OH MY GOD THE LOVE, so I don't know how it'll go.

(We're going to go with Sunday again for the rewatch next week, 8pm UTC. Zippychat is throwing people out quite regularly now, so we're using Skype - just the IM function, no video calling. It's very easy to set up, and you can either find me there or just leave a comment and we'll work something out.)

This is going to sound ridiculous because I am Peter/Jared all the way and I pretty much only ship main pairings, but I do know what you mean about not slashing things that are slashed by the writers. I have that trouble in other fandoms, although it's something I'm getting over a bit and . . . I don't know, something about Peter and Jared just cut right through it for me. I do find them a bit different to some other pairings.

But anyway, yes. OH GOD Damien and Pindar are so GOOD, I love how even in their few episodes they're just brilliant and you can totally see different ways their relationship might develop. I was a tiny bit resistant to shipping them, because it feels so much like 'putting the secondary characters together just because', but they're PROPERLY SLASHY TOGETHER and I love them.
