[aliaswestgate.livejournal.com]

20 or so minutes to ep 2, ladies (and any gents out there too!).

Our quick synopsis: Jared and Peter try their first manslaughter case when they defend a wannabe crime fighter (Sean Astin) accused of chasing down a man who later died. Meanwhile, Peter's mom (Jane Seymour) arrives with some news that results in a change of living arrangements for her son. And Pindar seeks Carmen's help in battling his phobias.

Sean Astin and Mama Bash. :D How much more fun can you get.

I won't be here for the live reactions tonight. But i'll be around to catch the repeat or else the download. Whatever i see or get my greedy little paws on first.

Reactions, gripes, general silly and spoilers galore down below in comments.

Have fun and i'll catch you guys later! I can't wait to read the comments again! *waves and runs off*

Okay so... XD

Bullet points!

-Peter's mom. Everything that Jane Seymour did was gold.

-Damien and Peter's mom. Everything from how he seemed even more into her as soon as he learns that she's Peter's mom to the couch scene, which was just amazing.

-Jared and Peter's mom. Jared totally has an odepidial thing going on with her. Head canon is that he used to go over to Peter's house when they were kids because Jared's mom was never really "there" for him, but Colleen would shower him with affection, let him join in during brownie making time, tell him he was growing into such a fine young man, etc... and then as Jared got older he realized that Colleen was pretty hot and... confusing feelings followed. (and stayed with him til today)

-Peter backstory of being pigeon toed, wetting the bed until age 11, and being breast fed until age 8. Poor Peter. Also, divorced (or maybe never even married?) parents. Did we know that or was it just fanon? I wonder if Peter had two homes? Maybe his mom was on the good side of the tracks and that's how he met Jared? But then he spent most of HS with his father on the other side of town?

-Jared is totally turning into a hard ass lawyer and Peter knows it "You're going to break his heart, aren't you?" It still hurts Jared to do this... Peter, you have time to save him before he's lost completely!

-Janie! Yay! But boo to her not getting married anymore. Is it because her demon-ness got sucked out?

-I don't know what's up with Pindar's story line. I think I'm offended by it...?

-Needed more Carmen and Hanna. Per usual.

-OMG. Next week. Why isn't it Tuesday again?

Pretty damn good episode imo.

Highlights;

- Peter's mom is epic. Seriously, she should have stuck around longer because Colleen/Damien? Definitely needs to be explored more for the sheer awkwardness of it.

- Peter constantly getting c-blocked by everybody and then c-blocking himself because he just HAD to talk to Jared (about the case, but whatever)

- Ignoring the joking/sarcastic way in which it was said, Peter would give Jared his jacket which needs to be written right now (hint hint, lovely F&B fic writers, hint hint)

Sean Astin was awesome. 'Nuff said :)

Lowlights for me;

- Pindar's storlyline seems to have kinda popped out of nowhere. I mean, they've always been pushing him to conquer his phobias but... I don't know. Something just feels weird to me.

- Janie not getting married, even though I knew it was coming. Is it weird that after Jared's commments, I kind of want Jared/Janie now?

- Jared turning slowly into a corporate machine. I very much dislike this. Fingers crossed it's not permanent.


NEXT WEEK! Sooooo excited for Breckin's writing and he and Seth Green paired up once again and in one of our favourite shows!

What I wrote during the episode

[hope-calaris.livejournal.com]

This episode of F&B is weird.

Like, what is the deal with Pindar’s college blondie? Where did she get the idea from that she can fix Pindar? I hope it turns out that she’s a certified therapist or something, because right now I think she’ll endanger Pindar’s mental health even more.

Just turned out she has a restraining order filed against her. This … show, what the frack are you doing? Pairing one character with mental health issues with another character with mental health issues? Just no. If you decide to include serious issues like this, do it with the dignity and respect it deserves.

And Sean Astin’s character? That just feels wrong … I really think his character would be better served in a mental hospital. Something’s off with him, and I think he needs help.

The cave’s layout confuses me endlessly. Why did they change everything and pretend they didn’t?

Jane Seymour is still a really beautiful woman, but I don’t like how they use her character to embarrass Peter all the time. However, I do like that Jared’s not the slightest bit surprised that Peter was a bed-wetter till he was eleven.

Also, why is Janie still in the show? And why did they write her postponing the wedding? I don’t want her to become a love interest for Peter again. That part of his story is over and done, you hear me?
The case with the superhero breaks my heart, and I feel like it’s my fault. I demanded more drama in the survey TNT let us fill out. I didn’t mean heartbreaking cases, though. I meant more drama with Jared and Peter and their personal lives. Like daddy!issues (omg, is Peter’s mom being embarrassing for him my fault as well?!?), or Jared taken hostage. I didn’t mean Jared breaking his client’s heart on the witness stand.

Apparently, the Janie-storyline isn’t over and done with. Why, show, why?

I love the fact that Jared knows what pre-cogs are. I love Jared.

I think I actually like Peter’s love interest.

So, I think I have figured out why they make Jared a badass lawyer all of a sudden. Every time he has to break a client’s heart, or be mean to him, he loses a bit of himself, and towards the end of the season he’ll decide it’s not worth it, and will want to leave. And Peter, who’s been worried all season long over how hard Jared takes these cases, will be conflicted because a) money, partner, steady life, and b) Jared’s happiness.

-Pindar is adorably creepy, but mostly creepy and Carmen is indulging that...
-I love how Jared makes of every opportunity a chance to touch Colleen.
-JARED-BEAR, SHE CALLED HIM JARED-BEAR!! That's much better than Dimples.
-Colleen's look when she saw Peter and lady cop (I'm just gonna ignore her name like Colleen did) was amazing ::points finger::'What's this?'
-I love how Damien was like 'Is this happening? Is someone seeing this? Is there a camera hiding somewhere?' YES, DAMIEN, IS A TV SHOW, we're enjoying your bewilderment.
-They spoke at the same time! That's how connected they are
-I'm really hating the music from this episode

My weekly post of episode squee-ings!


I think that little stumble backward was the least graceful thing I have EVER seen Peter Bash do. Also, me no liking him Wendy.

Jared interrupting all like ‘BITCH get off my boyfriend’ haha *sobbing*

“You have some sucking to do.” HAHAHA OMG OMG Sucking of Jared okay? HEADCANON

OMG MAMA BASH OMG ugfjdlhfueashifdsa

Jerry bear? Is that what she said? THAT IS THE BEST THING.

OMFG SUPERHERO!! Look at their faces <3 They’re just like, 'my life is complete'

Running in suits NNG

Also, how is Peter so unfit when he is as fit as he is?

I like them wanting to take this case. Honestly? I think that it’s because of the cock up that was last week. They need a case like this to get them back to normal.

“Do you work for Peter?” bahaha, I’m still pissed at you from last week Hanna

Also, I absolutely LOVE that Mama Bash is bringing lunch for our boys! It just makes me think of them when they were little and her bringing them sandwiches and just feifhdsdhjas BABY BOYS <3

“Inside out salami sandwich”, “Tied it myself” OH GOD. OH LORD. I’m just sitting here crying like fuck omg stop being so perfect BABY <3

HE WAS GOING TO GIVE HIM HIS JACKET OMG LET ME DIE

OMFG Stanton as the Wizard of OZ grrrfnnnsns

Okay, okay. The Wendy/Peter (OMG just got the Peter Pan reference!) is sort of cute. I might like her if it was a platonic relationship lol

“You need to talk to Jared.” Does this happen often....???!?!

Was Damien really insinuating that he slept with Mama Bash? Or am I hearing things...

I love whenever Peter and Jared are in a lift. It brings back happy season 1 feels <3

GOD I MISSED THEIR BANTER

Aaaand done! Good episode!
