Episode Discussion - 108 and 109

[jekesta]

I am slightly late, because I am RUBBISH. But I'm willing to bet it is still Monday in some peoples' world. So it's almost like winning \o/.

108 - The Bangover


TV Rage - "A judge puts Franklin and Bash on house arrest due to their courtroom shenanigans. Meanwhile, a visit by Infeld's niece goes up in smoke when she's busted for marijuana possession by a judge; the arrival of Carmen's boyfriend has legal consequences."





Do you hate temps? Do you hate Lily? How much do you miss Hanna? How cute is Jared with police? Would you show Jared what you do in bed? (it would be platonic!) Are you more fascinated by Peter's love life than Damien is? How beautiful is Pindar in court? Also Peter in no clothes. Also Jared in all his clothes? Do you always refer to yourself in the third person? This is one of my least favourite episodes, but there are still lots of bits I love about it.

109 - Bachelor Party


TV Rage - "Janie's fiancé enlists Peter to help him dodge a legal quagmire in the wake of his bachelor party. Meanwhile, Jared revisits his high school when a teacher is accused of having lusty encounters with her student."

I think I just love every bit of this one! I love Janie, and Nathan, and Jared being jealous and beautiful, and Peter being beautiful and only a little bit torn, and I love the bar tender and the school teacher, and Jared's school, and Rudi, and Quantum Leap. I love that Jared runs away after sex to have pudding with Peter. I love that they hug, I love EVERYTHING ABOUT BRECKIN MEYER'S FACE.

Tell me everything you think.

It is still Monday in the US! :D ...still very muchly Monday...ohgosh...still...Monday...

So you still win! We are focused on the positive here!

I MISS HANNA! I am also slightly concerned that a half-naked Peter has a guitar in the bedroom with him while he is half-naked (or more likely all naked)....I cannot see any situation where that ends well....I feel like the guitar would just get....yeah....

The Bug periodically refers to herself in third person...but not usually online...because that's not so much fun when you can't see her dorky faces and overdramatic handflailing....

Also, I kinda hated Lily, not gonna lie... And the whole treatment of her....how old is she? Over 20, right? Like prolly in her 30s? She's kinda a grown-woman....

Also, I kinda disliked the whole Carmen subplot... she's just not my fave... sorry, hon.

Q! I loved Q! He should be brought back more often! Also, I kinda liked how FnB keeps stealing all the old Star Trek actors... If they get Kate Mulgrew in an episode, I might die... Or Garrett Wang... that would possibly be dangerous...

Also, I'm confused about the ending of this... So Janie is done? She's not coming back? Who will FnB have for a love interest? ...unless... Unless the writers choose to focus their writerly romancenenergy on the loveliness that is Damien and Hanna and a deliciously overdramatic baby subplot with sneaky kisses and holding hands! I would be okay with that!

Sorry I am glad you are still stuck in a Monday. Unless you are glad, mostly things seem to be happening on your Tuesdays that you might be avoiding by slowing down Monday. Maybe Mondays are secretly terrific.

I really really love that Peter has his guitar on, I love that he wants to sing at people, I love EVERYTHING about him, but especially maybe that.

The Janie thing is quite great of them, I really really hope they don't back out of it somehow and have her not really marry Nathan, or start having problems with him. I hope Peter just moves on. SPOILERS SAY:


that Peter is having a recurring girlfriend next season, but they say that and then say she's only in two episodes, so it doesn't sound like it's TOO big a deal, which I'm so so so in favour of. I know it's a clichéd slash fan response, but I just don't think they need romantic interests - not beyond girlfriend of the week. They have so many characters I want to see given screentime already that I just don't know why they would add more.

I totally say they leave the heterosexuality to Damien and Hanna, they do it BETTER than anyone else on their show.

And yes! Everything about Lily was annoying, including the weird protective family thing that she was so obviously too old for. But mostly her accent. And her hair. And her RIDICULOUS PATHETIC ATTEMPTS AT SMUGGLING.

This could be true...this could be a fantastic Monday...once the paper and project are done and turned in and not on my laptop anymore...

*giggles* I love that you dislike her accent. I can never really hear the differences between good and bad non-American accents (although, bad Southern accents make me twitch...) It amuses me to find people who actually have these accents have opinions on them, lol.

[jekesta]

I think I probably really really like terrible southern american accents, and I'm sure I can't tell the difference between good ones and bad ones all the time.

(I hope you are having a fantastic Tuesday.)

My Tuesday is much better! One paper is done, one project is done! All that is left is one nasty paper on the picturesque and a Chinese final.

Tonight, I sleep! :D

I would kill for Garrett Wang to be in something.

I hope Janie comes back. And I hope she brings JVDB with her.

[jekesta]

Oh god yes, I meant to say. Garrett Wang being in it would just be LOVE. Or Kate Mulgrew. Or both of them, they could sue each other and fight and it would be amazing. I love them.

When people call JVDB 'JVDB' I always read it as JCVD and I am not against Jean Claude Van Damme being in F&B, but it always takes me by surprise when people are casually discussing it, like I've missed something AMAZING.
