It's F&B night ladies and gentlemen!
Tonight? Jared finds himself once again going head to head with his father in court. Beau Bridges and Peter Weller guest star!
Peter Weller as a rock star? Yeah, interesting. :D
Jokes, commentary and the usual squeeing below. Spoiler heavy, those of you not watching yet.
Enjoy!

Carmen looked so amazing in her backstage outfit. omigod. Why so perfect, bb? Also her amazingness at basically doing everything is amazing. Ugh.
Hanna's last day of court outfit, the sort of cream colored dress? So gorgeous. Also, her being sweet to Pindar was adorable. Every scene is better if Hanna is just there.
I need to know what kind of music Jared likes. Since he obviously turns his nose up at Peter's tastes.
Sweetest thing ever: Jared on the bench. In the robe. Talking about how he and Peter are partners, but not life partners, but how they do live together, and then totally realizing that, yes, they actually are life partners.
Peter saying that he hated Jared. My heart broke a little at Jared's face. Also when he was told to stay outside.
Jared's face in general. Ugh. Also, waistcoats.
Jared and his daddy!issues. It felt like maybe they pulled back a little? I don't know. Something felt... I don't know. Maybe to in your face look at these issues. And the end. Leonard is such an asshole, but are we supposed to be like 'oh, okay, everyone can lol over parenting issues because we're adults now'? *shrug*
Maybe Peter just seemed a little less... protect-y. Even if he did ask if it was going to screw with Jared's head.
I'm back at Jared's face now.
Peter not wearing shoes while playing the guitar. I have mixed feelings about that.
Jared making sure that Peter felt like a rock god (even though Jared hates his taste in music). I do not have mixed feelings about that. I think I made noises only dolphins could hear.
Breckin not playing the drums. Perfect opportunity. Didn't happen. Boo.
Damien only had, like, two lines.
Jared's face. It's so quality you guys I can't.
I'm sure there was more. Probably involving Jared's face.

And his waistcoats and the robes and his FACE.
I think I might be stuck on that *g*
Hopefully they'll not hold back on the daddy!issues! next time we see Leonard? But the bit with the tie clip and the summer house made me all *flaily* I'd like to see more of that.
no subject
Yes. The beachhouse/tie clip bit was wonderful. My heart hurt with that.
no subject
I DO NOT HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THAT. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH OH MY GOD I NEARLY DIED. How does Jared even not kiss him for two seconds at a time, how does ANYONE?
totally realizing that, yes, they actually are life partners
My happiness. All of it. It's like he probably spent years telling people they were partners, but not life partners, and then slowly it's just sort of coming with more and more 'well sort of' added onto the end, and eventually one day he's just going to say that they're partners and cut himself off from disclaiming anything because there's nothing left to disclaim.
I know what you mean about the daddy!issues, but I liked the 'here are some of Jared's daddy issues, look at his face'. And I quite like how they keep his daddy issues sort of at a level where they're still quite simmering almost. Like in season 1 was the first time he told his dad he knew about him having affairs, so it's not like that had ever come out, or been a thing they fought openly about. And now they hardly talk so they still won't have done, and I quite like that whole adult level of 'I can't actually just scream at you like I'm fifteen because I'm thirty five' (or whatever age Jared is this week) 'so we will just continue to have this very distant unhelpful relationship where everything you say kills me and we have to pretend it's okay'. Or something like that but I can't put it into words. But at the same time it was a bit friendly at the end, yes.
Leonard's coming back at the end of the season I think when we find out why Infeld hired them, so maybe they wanted things to be kind of friendly so that it would be MORE HURT when they go bad again?
Yes Hanna's clothes. Yes Jared's FACE. Yes.
I love Peter's love for rock and roll and Jared's FACE AT HIS LOVE FOR ROCK AND ROLL.

Yes. All of this. Perfect.
I do like that Jared's daddy!issues did such lovely things to his face. It's almost like... like Jared's making too much out of his father's neglect, even though we know he's not, but Leonard kind of had that feeling likehe's making too much out of everything, esp with the 'look, I'm wearing the tie you bought me... happy now?' thing at the end. I don't know... there's a a possibility that I'm in a mood that isn't allowing me to deal with that. I feel like I might be projecting. lol.
I like the idea that it's all going to go to pot perhaps at the end of the season.
I love that Jared loves that Peter loves rock and roll, and how even if Jared doesn't get it, he gets that Peter loves it and that's enough. Because he loves Peter. His face was so full of love. So fantastic.
no subject
SERIOUSLY THOUGH, SERIOUSLY YES. Jared offers to have platonic sex with Carmen. There's just NO EXCUSE for not having it with Peter too.
I feel like I might be projecting. lol.
I feel like I'm projecting too, in the ways I liked it, I can see how it would have been much nicer, and to me just as reasonable, to have out and out OH MY GOD BROKEN SADNESS.
(My favourite bit was when Peter went 'didn't you have dinner last month' when what he clearly should have said was 'you had dinner last month, I remember because I spent the ENTIRE WEEK PUTTING YOU BACK TOGETHER AGAIN OH GOD JARED WE SHOULD JUST MOVE FURTHER AWAY FROM HIM, maybe somewhere really cold for snuggling and clothing options, also I am distracted by rock and roll receipts right now but in a minute I will fuck you against a wall if you like'.)

Yes. It's like they also don't want to give us wonderfully broken sadness because they're horrible, horrible people who don't know what their audience wants.
(yes. that bit was lovely. his eyes totally said that. and then Jared's face said 'you better fuck me against that wall because I'm sad. I'm pretty sure our client won't mind.')
