Spoilers for tonight's episode

[jekesta]

Little scene posted here, spoilers obviously: http://tvline.com/2012/07/31/shiri-appleby-franklin-bash-video/

And spoilers under the cut:

1. ELMO? what?

2. Oh the happiness of a polygraph test in the cave. Even if they're using it for heterosexuality when there's such a better thing to use that for.

3. People are already talking about her coming back in the next season and I just alskdjfhoiwheois. I know it's really not cool in fandom at the moment to not want canonical relationships but LKSHdofiwef dnw. I feel like there's just not room for MORE PEOPLE in F&B as much as anything else. Also I know lots of people really liked Wendy, but I loved the way she just disappeared, like it wasn't a big deal or anything, they just broke up. Because they don't need other people. Sorry. I'll stop being awful. We've had a whole lovely season of Jared not caring about anyone but Peter, if they have to ruin all that in the last two episodes so be it. (I'm not even really awful as this seems, I like when they have girlfriends, I just don't want any of them to last for very long.)

In other news, here is a quick gif of Bear I made:



And MPG got married. Which is fine, whatever. (No no no, seriously, I'm not this awful a person. He seems REALLY happy about it. Their wedding rings were beautiful. They've disappeared to Italy for honeymooning. Hurray, him.)

Got to admit, I sprayed wine when he said ELMO. OMG

And also, you just know they keep the polygraph for later right? *G* And maybe she'll just disappear like Wendy and the wrestling chick from last season...

And finally - BEAR! I'm never not going to love having Bear

[jekesta]

ELMO. ELMO. OH GOD.

And I'm pretty sure they promised backstory in this episode. KShdoifhwoeijfsdf. I needs it now.

i thought they did too. I'll have that question mark up on the discussion post tonight. For once? No nephew chasing! XD Even if this is only their college/university/law school years instead of when they met as kidlets. Either way. BACKSTORY!!!!!

[jekesta]

I'm nearly sure that mpg has promised them when they were ten year olds. I don't know, we haven't seen any proof of that, but I think he said. I LOVE THEM WHATEVER THEY GIVE US. However little sense it is likely to make:):):):):):)

And I'm totally going to try to watch this one live, internet willing.

I took me twice the time to read your post because I was too hypnotized by that gif, even commenting is difficult...

You're not being awful, I totally agree, there's no more room for other women to come to distracting them, only Bear and Colleen are allowed to do so.

[jekesta]

Bear and Colleen are totally welcome to distract them. Because mostly Bear and Colleen just make them smile at each other more. Hm. I suppose EVERYTHING basically makes them smile at each other more. Except Janie. But still.

This video wouldn't play for me at first and I was basically sitting in a corner silently hating the internet. Then I got to see it and it was very hard to stop watching Breckin kissing because he does it so beautifully!

Some nice spoilers turned up on Tumblr too...


Fans of both Breckin Meyer and Mark-Paul Gosselaar who watch them on TNT’s Franklin & Bash inevitably look for nods to the past projects that made them famous hidden within the show. Come on, it’s easy enough to assume two dudes who throw hot tub parties and strap on acoustic guitars to work through their tough legal cases are men-children enough to emulate a little bit of the likes of Travis Birkenstock and Zack Morris, right?

Well, the second season of Franklin & Bash features a flashback episode that does just that. Only this time around, it’s Gosselaar who might be playing a little bit of Travis Birkenstock!

“We flash back to see Jared and Peter in their college days,” Meyer revealed to Snakkle on the set. “I think in college they had the safety net of being in college. They didn’t have to work for their rent... They were figuring out who they were going to be and what their style was.”

“I smoked a lot of weed,” laughed Gosselaar of Peter Bash’s younger days.

Zack Morris would certainly not approve of that! And instead of the bleach-blond hair, twentysomething Peter Bash kept his locks long and dark, like Gosselaar’s Jerry Kellerman in Raising the Bar. It’s more an amalgamation of roles, Gosselaar said, than a straight-up callback to any from the pop culture catalogue of classics.

“Your attitude is the Dude from The Big Lebowski. And maybe a little Travis Birkenstock. That may have just bled over by accident,” Meyer pointed out to his costar.

“If we’re talking about an homage, we were in college in 2000. My other character was in college in ’93. It’s a long time ago, America,” Gosselaar reminded. “People were like, ‘Oh, why didn’t you do the blond hair?’ Because that was in the ’80s.”

“I wanted the blond hair!” Meyer countered. “I was kind of doing Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. I was doing an homage to Matt Lillard.”

But in all seriousness, Gosselaar said that the parallels that die-hard Clueless or Saved by the Bell fans may draw to Franklin & Bash may be unintentional. When Gosselaar picks up a guitar again during a blowout bash in the man cave in the second season finale of Franklin & Bash, for example, it is without the long chain earring or shiny sequin jacket. Zack Attack training may have helped, but Peter Bash rocks out much more seriously.

“I think both of us would sort of veto anything from our past [overtly popping up on Franklin & Bash] because it just doesn’t fit on our show. I mean, we have fun, but I don’t even know that we’d reference it, because that’s just not this show. I hate to break it to the fans, but that’s not the direction we’re going in,” Gosselaar admitted.

Well, those die-hard fans, of which we’re proud to count ourselves a part, will surely still find little nods nonetheless.


I am a very happy camper right now!!

I'm glad they've made Peter Bash smoke, because with Colleen as his mom he totally would.

maybe a little Travis Birkenstock. That may have just bled over by accident,”

I love that Breckin pointed out to him that he was TOTALLY pretending to be him. I haven't seen new interviews with them together in forever. Why aren't they just together all the time???

I've really missed the bits after the episodes from last year where they stood about and liked their guest stars. I know I say that all the time, but still.
