Episode Discussion - 110

110 - Go Tell It On The Mountain


TV Rage - "In the Season 1 finale, Franklin and Bash team up with a hotshot attorney (Tricia Helfer) to defend one Stanton Infeld, who is charged with murder. Tensions soon run high when it appears the trial could be sabotaged. Meanwhile, a wrestler (Danny Trejo) fights for justice after he's fired for being too old."





Do you have theories about why Jared has spent $200 on handkerchiefs? Is there any touching in the world more beautiful than the morgue scene? Have you randomly done a year of pre-med that you've just been keeping quiet about? How great would it be to be in a prison where Infeld was the top dog? How awesome are team Linden-Karp with their casually shutting down evil? How much do I love Infeld for wanting Hanna to be in charge of everything one day? Is the prettiness of Jared flirting and smiling equal to or greater than the prettiness of Peter getting him all excited about the idea of threesomes and then casually cock-blocking him? WHY DOES IT HAVE TO END? Why didn't they make 22 episodes like normal people do? How do we last until June? What happens now? Make it come back.

Ahhhhhh, I have no time for rewatches because I have to mark >100 final exams (whoooooooo) but that first gif reminds me of how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE that morgue scene. I love how Peter looks so completely persnickety, like he's just too ~delicate to look at corpses. And how Jared just deals with him, rawr. Also, I would be intrigued by a this-never-happened AU fic of Jared sticking with med school and becoming a doctor and then teaming up with Peter again when Peter is hired as an in-house lawyer for the hospital Jared works at. Shenanigans ensue, of course.

And, if I may suggest another discussion topic, what do you want to see in season 2? What's on your wishlist?
I obviously want more Peter/Jared adorableness, that goes without saying, but I also want more Damien/Pindar interaction and more Damien/Hanna/Pindar asskicking. And I want James van der Beek to come back!

Pssscht, but the discussion for season 2 is part of my wtf wednesday post coming up later today. Don't steal my post from me! ^^

And now I want to read that AU. When are you done with grading?

[fobmarwi.livejournal.com]

Second on the AU!

[matchsticks-p.livejournal.com]

Haha, I swear I didn't know! I will move my questions along. :P

I am done with grading when I stop procrastinating and actually concentrate, ooooooohhhhhhhhhhh god. I need to submit final marks by the 21st, but I'm really hoping I'll be done before then.

Handkerchiefs can be made of tissue too, right? Cause then I think I know the answer,heee
I haven't done a year of pre-med but I've done a year at the Criminalistic school before going to Filmmaking and no many people know that...so Jared's pre-med year make sense to me.
Hanna will be in charge of everything while raising babies with Damien!
I got the theory that Peter and Jared already had a threesome in college and Jared wants to do it again, but without the girl,of course.

Aaaaaand, 22 episodes?? I'd be happy if they had done 13, why didn't they make 13 episodes????

Oh, you *really* need to tell us some more about this theory. Preferably in the form of fic! Just saying... [whistles]

[jekesta]

Oh, I can really really believe him sort of broaching the subject like that. Like finding a girl EVERY TIME they want to have sex with each other would just be WEARING and so really having a threesome just with the two of them makes *sense*. Yes.

Yes, 13 episodes would be GOOD. They could have done that. They could have done that a few times by now, they've had AGES.

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

Or Jared goes out and finds a girl and is like 'Hey, Peter. Remember that thing we did...? Look what I brought home!' and it keeps happening like that, except the girl usually leaves in the middle of it because they've stopped paying attention to her, but it's the only way Jared can figure out how to tell Peter what he wants. (and then he tries to do it with Janie and... yeah, that doesn't end well.)

This episode kind of makes me sad because it's the last one, but it did give us some lovely things. Including (but not limited to):

~ More confusing back story (dear writers, when you've made up your mind about when Peter and Jared met and how long they've known each other, please call us!)
~ Peter flailing in the morgue and Jared comforting him.
~ Infeld being awesome in prison, and a tiny bit sad about having to kill his best friend.
~ Jared doing some lovely smooching (even if it is with a lady and not Peter).
~ Peter suggesting a threesome and Jared taking a moment to actually consider it!
~ Ass kicking Hanna and Damien FTW!
~ Peter fainting and Jared fussing over him. Probably. There should be fic about that, BTW...
~ Another win against DA Swatello (which will just make the angry sex even angrier!)

I have no idea why anyone would think that only 10 episodes of the awesomeness that is Franklin & Bash would be enough, but I'm just glad we'll be getting a second season. Let's face it, we could watch 10 episodes of Jared and Peter just smiling at each other, and that's before you get to any of the other characters!

[jekesta]

If there wasn't going to be a second season and they'd only made ten episodes I would be so much more hjsahf;shf;akjsfhlsdfhdfsf than I already am about it.

It's just so sad, because with ten episode seasons you don't get filler episodes, and there are so many random slightly rubbish episodes that I would NOT OBJECT TO. Episodes where they go on holiday, or get chained together for rubbish reasons, or a bottle episode somewhere, ANYWHERE. We won't get any of that, because they are being RIDICULOUSLY short sighted about how much of this show we need.

The fainting! We don't have fainting fic. We're a bit rubbish.

I love Peter and Jared promising to kill each other and then feel a bit bad about it. THEY WOULD FEEL SO BAD ABOUT IT, IT WOULD BE TERRIFIC. (Um, a lot of my favourite pairings kill each other, it's a thing I have. If F&B joined them . . . that would sort of KILL ME but with equal happiness and SORROW.)

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

I am awash with saddness over no filler episodes.
They could have at least made us a special two hour long holiday episode to tide us over until summer. It was really rude of them not to. MPG was off filming a Christmas movie... they couldn't have just stole him for a bit? In his sweater? And made everyone wear scarves? And there could have been a cabin... Infeld's cabin... and snow... and Peter and Jared looking out a window as the snow fell, both in their sweaters and drinking hot cocoa... and Damien arguing about how to best hang lights on a tree as Infeld waxed on about trees of his youth... and Hanna being all 'I will show you the only proper way to light a tree.' and then be awesome at it. And maybe they get snowed in, and there's jokes about cannibalism (and Peter and Jared have a semi serious moment where they decide who gets eaten first (and then tell Damien that it's him))... and then Carmen and Pindar have to rescue them. And Pindar does not understand why they had to go somewhere so snowy and cold, because it's clearly horrible. But Peter and Jared had an awesome time, and maybe as they're being dug out they come up with an idea for proving their client's (that they were working on before Infeld dragged them to his deathtrap cabin) innocence and eveything is amazing. Why can't we have nice things like that?

I'm totally holding out hope for a chained together episode. Or maybe one where they hate each other a bit for some reason, and are stuck in a closet. And they pout and squish each other. There could be pinching involved.

[fobmarwi.livejournal.com]

I love your Christmas episode idea and the closet one too!
They're filming, they could still surprise us with a special, right? RIGHT??

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

Maybe this is their plan. They'll surprise us with an awesome hristmas in July ep or something. *wistful sigh*

STUCK IN A CLOSET WHILE HAVING A ROW. STUCK IN A CLOSET. I WOULD LIKE THAT. I would prefer it as an episode, but I'd take it as a fic.

both in their sweaters and drinking hot cocoa

THAT IS THE ONLY THING I WANT. It wouldn't even have to be an episode, it could just be a beautiful christmas card to their fandom.

Being a summer show is TOTALLY depriving us of beautiful mitten/scarf/jumper goodness. It's so not fair a bit.

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

I really have no ideawhy Breckin and Mark-Paul just can't dress in beautiful mitten/scarf/jumper goodness and tweet about it. We're not asking for much! SOmething... anything. *sigh*

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

Your list of lovely things is a good list.

Hanna and Damien win all the things.

I can't believe no one seemed to care when Peter dropped like that. So sad. And I hope there was fussing and hugging and not just Jared putting a head in Peter's bed and letting him be upset. They probably had comfort sex and when Jared went to his room in the morning he left the head there because he knew Peter was okay. Or something...
