HELLO! You actually get my squee post in full this week because I actually had a lot of feels for this episode. Crazy stupid feels that meant I wrote a lot of feeling type things. So yeah, be warned.


I always love guitar playing MPG. It makes me love him even more. But then it can be pretty cheesy aswell haha

Is that crazy Megan?

“You’re a shredi warrior” UGH. I love how much they know eachother.

OMFG JARED PLEASE CRYING A JUDGE

He’s so tiny!!!

“No blowing before 8am. Wouldn’t say I necessarily agree with that...”

Jared. I love that he flirts with anything with a pulse.

“If my partner was here right now, he would be visibly aroused.” I DIE. VISIBLY AROUSED. THIS IS A THING THAT HAPPENS. AND THEY LIVE TOGETHER AND IT ‘GETS FUN’

“I need an excuse to see my son?” “Historically? Yeah.” UGH, their relationship hurts my soul. And Leonard is trying, but I absolutely understand why Jared keeps pushing him away

I really felt like they should have gone for a hug when Jared came into the office

“Second album was good. Before Timberlake got a big head” OH GOD. Peter’s an NSync fan?? I DIE (Okay, so I died a lot this ep. Shh)

Peter always gets his bitch on around Leonard. I have all this headcanon about Jared and Leonard fighting while Peter’s there and Jared storming off and Peter being like “I’ll go talk to him Mr Franklin” and a bit nervous because Mr Franklin and then following Jared and letting him rant about his Dad and how 'he’s ruining my life' and then when Jared runs out of steam he just grabs him in a hug (because back then Jared was even tinier and Peter could wrap his arms all the way around Jared) and just hold him close

I LOVE HOW WELL THEY KNOW EACHOTHER UGH

CHRIST. Infeld got a bit up himself then didn’t he. ‘My name above the door’ ‘Haven’t you got something to do?’

“I enjoy disappointing you. I’m good at it.” UGH. But.. but... whenever Jared is around his Dad he loses all his fun loving spirit. He becomes this bitter, jaded thing and I hate it, but i also love it, because it shows you that he isn’t just happy care-free Jared, but the deeper, buried part of him that has serious Daddy issues and must crave recognition and it hurts but it’s wonderful. Hats off to the writers for that, seriously.

“But you don’t know me” Oh baby, go find Peter and let him love you

Jared wrote a song for a girl he liked. All the songs he's written for Peter UGH

“Fanboy. Focus”

They would be really bad at prank calling haha
How much better has Pindar gotten at life though?

Remember when he had to be there via phone/computer

Hee hee. Peter has a thing against corporatism. LOVE

“What does fondling Mr Singh..?” LMAO

Jared PLEASE. With his stupid grin and his coffee

“You definitely shred. Shreddy Kruger. Shreddy Mercury. Shred Estair. You are a Shred Kennedy.” UGH STOP WITH THE IN JOKES I LAHV YOU SO

I love you quite a lot Stanton Infeld. I really do.
I also love Jared’s three piece suits. Very Harvey Specter, only cuter

“and a damn fine one” /sarcasm/ I love sarcastic Jared. And that Leonard is trying.

All in all, that was a much better episode I think.

EDIT: I DIDN@T NOTICE THE BARE FEET. HOW DIDNT I NOTICE THE BARE FEET. MEN WITH BARE FEET IS A THING WITH ME OMG

[jekesta]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. OH GOD EVERYTHING.

Totally one of the things I liked about Leonard in this is that he's trying, he's sort of being annoying as well, but I like that they don't write him as totally evil awful, he's trying and it's just impossible anywhere and OH GOD Jared is so small and beautiful near his father.

I really felt like they should have gone for a hug when Jared came into the office

THIS! It was one of those moments where it looked SO WEIRD that they didn't hug.

Infeld got a bit up himself then didn’t he. ‘My name above the door’ ‘Haven’t you got something to do?’

Yes, I'm not sure that scene made loads of sense, but I was really distracted by Peter being beautiful. But Infeld was a bit dick.

“I enjoy disappointing you. I’m good at it.”

I also love Jared’s three piece suits. Very Harvey Specter, only cuter

He's so much better than Harvey, although they've both gone blonder this year - luckily Harvey's given some of his blondness back, but Jared was WAY blond in a couple of scenes this episode.

::dances you very::

YES EVERYTHING. ESPECIALLY JAREDS FACE. JUST HIS FACE THIS WHOLE EP.

OH GOD Jared is so small and beautiful near his father.

YES. THIS. I cannot deal with how beautiful he is everytime Leonard is there. Like, he just reverts back to this little kid and it hurts me inside but IT. IS. GLORIOUS.

It DID look weird that they didn't hug. I KNEW it wasn't just me. I was expecting a whole, 'Honey, I'm home!' scene, with a little half hug and a peck on the forehead.

That Infeld scene was really weird. I understand that he didn't want to reveal his whole plan for Pindar and stuff, but no need to be a dick. UGH. (Peter was exceptionally pretty in that scene though, propping the wall up all casual like)

I love Jared and Harvey in different ways, but the same. And I think Jared is basically the baby version of Harvey. Just a baby!Harvey who pouts way too much for an adult. Anyway, yes Harvey, Jared, blonde-ness. yes. Agree with all of that!

/dances you back/

[fastfoodjunkie.livejournal.com]

I think I'm going to file it away in my headcanon that Infeld was being a bit of a dick because he knew that Jared was having daddy issues and thought that Peter should've been holding him tightly in a corner somewhere rather than propping up the wall (beautifully)! ;)

Bringing back the old theories from season 1 that Infeld's rivalry with Leonard has something to do with Jared!

[jekesta]

That does fit, Infeld was capably taking care of Pindar specially so that Peter could be CARING FOR JARED and yet instead he was just there, distracting everyone by leaning on walls. Tch.

I hate not knowing about the Infeld/Leonard thing. I worry about basically all the possibilities equally.

They would be really bad at prank calling haha
Totally! I imagine they finally giving up at prank calling after the failed attempt to script a phone call...

[itsathinline-ff.livejournal.com]
