Q and A

[jekesta]

Hello. I have to come and talk to you because I'm making dolphin noises and none of my friends CARE. So we probably all noticed that BM and MPG are going around being all promotioney and everything and it's great because it means there are photos all the time and sometimes radio interviews and things, in one of which Breckin said he was half dolphin half man, which is now my canon, because I have a terrible thing for people who are were-[water animals]. Let's not interrogate that too deeply. And but now, just there oh god, they did a Q and A, and I've only watched 11 minutes of it so far, but I had to come and talk to you. It's here:

Breckin's drinking club soda with cranberry juice. I basically just love his lack of alcohol because it makes him look cute, which is patronising. Watching actors being themselves just turns me into the awfullest person.

Here are some spoilers about the new season:

OH GOD. The flashback episode is them meeting when they are TEN. And then it is them growing up and being at college adn ankdjfbowefsdf, and their FIRST CASE. Which is SO MUCH BACKSTORY THEY ARE JUST FILLING IN, and meeting Carmen and Pindar. THAT IS BASICALLY A FUCKING TIMELINE they've done there, that's what they've SORT OF MADE, it's like an answered prayer. OH GOD I hope it's okay, but also I'm so happy it might be great, and if it isn't great I'll just ignore it, but TEN! That's beautiful. That's just yes. Okay. That makes me happy in my soul.

He picked some popcorn up off the floor.

Also they basically just said that Infeld and Leonard and gay and in love (sort of they said that, leave me alone) and ONE PERSON CLAPPED. I LOVE YOU, THAT PERSON.

- - - - -

Breckin's ability to be on the floor in an instant will never not be beautiful. MPG's inability to take photographs of himself with people or be on the floor pleases me insanely for various reasons. I hope he washes his hair with diamonds. I love them. I love them so much. I like that they hate their smug poster. I still can't believe the posters. Breckin having to tell that person that he couldn't even drink FAKE beer is just deliciously lovely. And that the moment he's allowed to write something he writes it for Seth Green is sort of lovely. And EVERYTHING, everything is kind of lovely. I have to go now, okay.

I had to wait six hours to be able to leave a comment that wasn't basically me just flailing through the use of fandoms letters. At 8am this morning, I was only able to communicate in capitals!

Oh god the flashback episode sounds so beautiful. I'm so pleased that they're going to give us a timeline, but the thought of them meeting at ten is just so... Okay, I'm actually not much more coherent than I was six hours ago!

But my major crisis right now is the fact that there is 42 minutes of Breckin and MPG being themselves on the interwebs and I can't watch this for at least another 3 and a half hours!! Have you found any other interviews, videos or pictures? If so, can I have links? Pleeeeeeeeese?!

If I'm this flaily over a Q&A, I may need to set up some kind of exclusion zone around me once season 2 actually starts airing. It might be safer all round...

the thought of them meeting at ten is just so... Okay, I'm actually not much more coherent than I was six hours ago

I know, words are unbearably lacking to explain why that is so great, it's just VERY GREAT.

I've not seen anything else exciting, no. I should have linked to the radio interview. It's here if you or anyone missed it: http://b96.cbslocal.com/2012/05/17/showbiz-shelly-interviews-stars-of-tnts-franklin-bash/

I love that they're around again. I love that mpg speaks so disappointedly about Raising the Bar only having two seasons, because it makes it sound like they expect F&B to last forever.

I don't know how I feel about them being equity partners and having to take grown up cases. I hope Jared is bitchy about it.

[vic-amy-z.livejournal.com]

OMG, that Q&A is just all kinds of perfect! I love them telling the story of Breckin's inability to shotgun or even drink a beer. They should always tell that story, along with the story of MPG ending up naked in the hot tub. I do hope that seaons 2 gives us some stories that are just as amusing!

The radio interview is so sweet - I do like the idea of Dolphin!Breckin, and I'm now very excited for the water tank episode. Well, more excited. Actually I may have flailed myself to death by June 5th at this rate!

[fobmarwi.livejournal.com]

ahlsjglkhmlkjm, TEN!!!
And Breckin being the third wheel with MP and his wife and the 'you didn't wait for me to eat', HOW COULD YOU THAT, MP????
And the whole discution about shampoo (Jen, admit it was you who asked that)was hilarious, but my tummy still hurts for laughing so much with the Malcolm and the bananas anecdote!

[jekesta]

admit it was you who asked that

If I had been there I would have been too embarrassed to ask that, but I TOTALLY understand the needing to ask and possibly that person had a whole sensible question all lined up in their head and then the microphone got there and they just looked at them and all they could think was 'OH MY GOD YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL I BET YOU SMELL BEAUTIFUL' and so garbled something about shampoo.

And yes! The bananas are just fabulous.

[itsathinline-ff.livejournal.com]

I JUST SAW THIS AND I OPENED IT AND I SAW THAT IT WAS 42 MINUTES AND I SNORTED. LIKE I ACTUALLY CHOKED ON AIR IN EXCITEMENT AND I IMMEDIATELY STARTED CRYING BECAUSE OMFG I'M SO EXCIIIITTTTEDDDD!!!!
*coughs*
I'll be back when I've watched it and regained some form of coherence because OMG gfydushdlfyrefhvcehsghfcew

[jekesta]

::DANCES YOU LOTS:: I was just like that as well, it's like ALL THAT YEAR without new things and now everything is going to be okay again, at least for a while. I LOVE THEM.

[itsathinline-ff.livejournal.com]

Your icon accurately sums up how I feel about you right now *SQUEEZES*

I can't actually believe how much I missed them!!!! And now we're are getting ALL OF THE THINGS

And I love how even THEY hated the posters, I mean my comments on that quiz were SO scathing and they were all 'Look at those smug bastards' and I was CRYING. I LOVE THEM

[jekesta]

I love how even THEY hated the posters

YES! I can't even imagine their reaction when they first saw the posters, it must be difficult to go 'BUT SOMETIMES I AM BEAUTIFUL' without sounding a bit terrible. But it must be what they needed to say when they saw.

They spent the first season's promotional tour apologising for the terrible tv ads that had upset hockey fans somehow, and now they're obviously having to go 'WE ARE SORRY OUR POSTER IS DREADFUL, LOVE US ANYWAY', it's like tnt just wants to make it difficult for them.

[itsathinline-ff.livejournal.com]

HAHAH YES!! "BUT SOMETIMES I AM BEAUTIFUL" I can just picture them being so confused over how incredibly BAD they look.

That really awful photoshopped one? Starred in my nightmares for weeks, I tell you.

TNT are so EVIL to them, I agree with EVERYTHING you just said.

'WE ARE SORRY OUR POSTER IS DREADFUL, LOVE US ANYWAY' - WE LOVE THEM, IT'S FINE!!

[itsathinline-ff.livejournal.com]

(This is a very embarrassing commentary of my thoughts, please don't laugh, I am a scarily enthusiastic fangirl)

I LOVE HOW MUCH THEY SWEAR. IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO JUST SEE THEM BEING THEM OH I MISSED THEIR STUPID BLOODY FACES!

Umm, what water tank are they talking about? Did I miss something important?

BRECKIN WROTE ONE OF THE EPISODES?? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS OMG

(I think all I can actually properly say right now is OMG)

Mama Bash SO UTTERLY EXCITED FOR THAT. I hope she is exactly what we are all hoping for

"I don't listen to you" STOP BEING SO CUUUUTTTTEEE

"After seeing my work you wanted to be actor?" MPG looks so CONFOUNDED OMG and he's so self-deprecating. WHYYYY

STOP CLAPPING BRECKIN YOU GIANT CHILD

Is that guy asking the non-question drunk? Because he sounds exceptionally drunk...

I feel like I know so little about what they are talking about because I haven't seen any of the stuff they are talking about... Maybe it's a cultural thing, because I'm so baffled at some of this lol

BRECKIN WAVING AND BEING ALL Hiii! *dying*

OOOH we find out why Stanton hired them?? That better be good, and not have too much to do with Jared's Dad, because that could SUCK for him :(

"He didn't invite me to go eat.", "I'm totally the third wheel" and then all the women are like I VOLUNTEER! I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE hahaha

Jimmy Stuart? See, I told you, this a cultural thing, I'm sure.

Shampoo? I feel like that is EASILY my favourite question. Look at them arguing over shampoo OH GOD MAKE IT STOP

Are the opening credits different on the DVD? Do we even get 'opening credits' on the DVD? Because I have NEVER seen this Prius/Toyota thing

Is it just me or is Breckin being particularly feminine here? Or is MPG just very much manlier lol

Sunblock scene? It hasn't been that long since I watched the show. Have I just forgotten EVERYTHING?

I never heard of Malcolm McDowell before Franklin and Bash.

"You're dumb and you look like a goblin" OMG STOP WITH THE ACCENT YOU PERFECT HUMAN BEAN

I'm that person who steals the free shit haha
"He's a big tea drinker" Uh... DUH.

But the banana thing, I want more on-set stories <3 <3
GIVING HIM THE FINGER... I CANNOT

Trained monkeys. I HAVE HEART EYES RIGHT NOW

Okay, I'm stopping. I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE GAWD

They are so perfectly imperfect GAH

(Edit: OMG this is just a giant comment I'm so sorry...)

[jekesta]

Massive comments about F&B should never be apologised for. We made it a rule last year and we'll need it again this year because it's so HARD to be concise when EVERYTHING they do is magical beauty.

I think the sunblock screen and various other bits you weren't getting are in the first episode of the new season. Which the people in the audience had just watched. Accompanied by free beer, which is why yes, quite drunk on some of the questions.

Jared's going to start the first episode in a giant tank of water because they're trying some case about magician's props, we had a photo of it a while ago but I can't find it now. I love how much he loved the water.

I didn't know about Breckin writing one of the episodes either! Or if I had known I totally forgot. That's kind of awesome and kind of nervewracking, but I'm sure it'll be amazing and beautiful and FINE.

I don't know if they've changed the opening for the new season or if I am just really blind to everything that is not Breckin and Mark-Paul because yeah they're in a car a lot in the opening I guess but I NEVER noticed what car Peter drives anyway. I remember me and Hope having to work it out at some point and it took me ages of looking through things and zooming in on things. Terrible at cars. (Although I love the bronco, and MPG said we don't get to see it and this makes me SADNESS, they shouldn't have to spend all their time in toyotas, sometimes they should be allowed in Jared's cute yellow thing.)

OH GOD PETER'S MUM. PETER'S MUM. Yes. I am looking forward to that way too much.

[fobmarwi.livejournal.com]

I was already looking foward to the Seth Green episode but now that I know Breckin wrote it, I WANT TO WATCH IT EVEN MORE!
Why does people get to see F&B earlier??

[jekesta]

I'm containing my jealousy and rage that OTHER PEOPLE have seen episode one already quite well, but a big part of me does just hate EVERY. ONE. OF. THEM.

[itsathinline-ff.livejournal.com]

I like that rule an awful lot haha. I have a tendency to get really weirdly enthusiastic about F&B!!

Ah, well that about season 2 makes so much more sense then. I felt so lost for a while there. I was like 'Bad fan' *hits self* so it's relieving to know that it has a lot more to do with what I just haven't seen yet PHEW.

BRECKIN IN WATER AND ALL WET AND WET. That is my only response to that news.

That Breckin episode will be AMAZEBALLS. I refuse to believe otherwise, ESPECIALLY because it has Seth Green in it and we all know how perfect he is :)

PETER's MUM YES *twirls* GOD, I am SOOO excited. That is really ALL I CAN SAY WHEEEEEEEEEEE

[jekesta]

Breckin. Wet. Wet. Breckin. They're words that go together quite well, yes.

[vic-amy-z.livejournal.com]

Is it just me, or did anyone else love the fact that as soon as Breckin got the opportunity to write for the show, he basically just wrote a part for his BFF and told him he was doing it?

God, he's just brilliant...

[jekesta]

No, it's not just you, I totally meant to say, how BEAUTIFUL is that? He's in love with him to a fantastically lovely amount.

[fobmarwi.livejournal.com]

They're Peter and Jared in real life but without the lawyering!They should just get married already!

[vic-amy-z.livejournal.com]

This is a beautiful commentary, and includes many of the thoughts that went rattling through my head. I made the mistake of starting to watch this video on the train on the way home from work... Yes, I *was* the giggling woman who was practically eating her own hand to stop herself from laughing out loud, and no, no one wanted to sit next to me!

[jekesta]

Lol. It's very difficult to watch something that good in public, it's the having to pause it every five minutes until you calm down enough to concentrate again that makes you look most lunatic.

I think they're doing more of these Q and As. I'm quietly hoping that at the next one they'll just have Bear at the back of the stage. I want to have my photo taken with Bear more than MPG or Breckin.
