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.

Maybe the fandom thing is because it's on cable? Network tv automatically gets more viewers, so... idk.

I don't think anyone thought this show would be anything but a bit shit, you know? Like, you hear it described and you think 'oh, that's show sounds terrible.', but it's secretly awesome. And only we know it's secret.

I'm sad that Reed Diamond didn't pull more Dollhouse fans in. And perhaps we've vastly overestimated how many people love Breckin Meyer. (because I thought it was everyone) Maybe Raising the Bar fans couldn't take seeing Mark-Paul fail at being a lawyer again. It's really unexplainable.

HE DIDN'T FAIL, THE WRITERS MAY HAVE, BUT MPG DOES NOT FAIL AT ANYTHING!!! Ohh ok,sorry for the outburst! I was a Dollhouse fan but I didn't know Reed was on F&B until I started watch it,so that doesn't count,right?

About The Bangover, the thing that was weird to me was that when the guys realized Carmen got laid, they're all like 0_o WTF, what did you do?? instead of just being happy she got lucky, like they assume the only person Carmen's ever gonna sleep with is Dante.
Unless they know her so well they can recognized her after sex with Dante face, in that case, never mind me...

Lol. ::pets you:: I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

The way I read it I didn't think they were really weird about Carmen having sex, I think Jared has a slight smile and they're kind of being teasing about it more than anything. Then she says it was Dante nearly immediately and they're more wtf about it.

I honestly had no idea who Breckin Meyer was pre-FnB. I recognized his name from the Robot Chicken credits, but that was it. I figured MPG would be the bigger draw here, like from the Saved By the Bell days or the NYPD Blue days? I followed him from Raising the Bar, because I eat TnT law shows like candy over the summer, but Raising the Bar, I don't think ever got a huge following.

I understand the cable aspect of it, but these heterosexual life mates are practically crawling all over each other more than JD and Turk and I was SURE the slash buzzers would go off in fangirls around the world...

Sometimes shows just seem to slip by fandom. Did you see Crusoe a few years back? It was Crusoe and Friday on an island LOVING EACH OTHER MORE THAN WAS REALLY POSSIBLE, and fandom just didn't bat an eyelid in its direction. It's really sad when shows get skipped over.

I'd never heard of Breckin Meyer either. Or Mark-Paul Gosselaar. And I thought it just looked rubbish. Downloading it anyway was the best thing I ever did.
