Separate posts for separate eps, even though they, like a gift from the gods, aired on the same night.

Here be spoilers!

They're living at a beach house. *stops sobbing over the cave*

You know what I really appreciated? People wearing sweaters and long sleeves at the beach. (esp when everyone else is in bikinis and shorts) I'm a sweater weirdo.

Stanton and the girl was sweet. Poor Stanton.

What was with the foofyness of Damien's hair?

Peter's father was in Vietnam. I love character history. I also love that Jared doesn't watch musicals/plays based on movies.

Peter wants to die first. Jared can't deal with that because Peter's better at cooking. Peter thinks he's going to have wife and not live with Jared forever. Jared disagrees. I can't breath. I want to gouge my eyes out because Peter and Jared are so perfect with their love.

"Heavy testage."

I think Charlie's super cute.

Are we going to see more of the judge that loved them? Cause that'd be awesome.

Peter twinging his back. Jared clearly needed to care about him a bit more. But it was super sweet when Pindar put the ice pack under Peter.

Carmen getting that lady to fall for her. She is that good. Damn.

Rachel telling Jared and Damien that they were both pretty. Damien trying to snark, but then being confused when asked if he knew how to swim or not. Clearly he doesn't and needs lessons. Where everyone thinks it's all fun and games until someone almost drowns and needs mouth to mouth resuscitation. Yeah.

The wall being up but Jared and Peter playing catch with themselves as though they were playing catch with each other. *cries* Rachel, can't you see how much them being separated hurts?

Peter freaking out over a possible dead person.

How can anyone not see how perfect this show is?

Damien's hair! OMG they really need to do something with that. It's bizarre and distracting. And not in a good way at ALL.

On the other hand Jared's hair was perfect. As was Jared's FACE.

And I do love that they keep winning and that the second one was a huge settlement.

I love Jared's hair so much, I'm so happy about it.

And of course, now they're living at the beach, Jared's hair will be all beachy all salty and sandy and Peter won't be able to keep his fingers out of Jared's hair or his mouth off the back of Jared's neck because it tastes of sunshine.

[jekesta]

Ngh. Yes.

People wearing sweaters and long sleeves at the beach

I THOUGHT OF YOU! How great was that? Maybe every year they'll move somewhere just that bit colder and windier until eventually all the huddling for warmth that I want from them will make sense.

And the dead person bit was beautiful, the expression on Peter's face was so perfect I might have watched it twenty million times. Him just sort of deciding that he should probably go over there now and looking perfect and Jared being like 'oh god dude, dead people are becoming a regular part of our lives you might need to start coping with them'kasjlfkjasdlj fperfect beautiful I love them.

And yes. Just yes to everything else you say as well. Playing catch with a wall between them and both getting to do the door at the same time and having all the same thoughts anyway.

And the dying before each other! !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know how to do with that because OH GOD PETER SO CRUEL, AND SUCH A LIE, what wife? No. Less of that. Although Jared having specifically talked about Peter and then saying he was talking about his wife is . . . eventually Peter just needs to realise he is Jared's wife and stop trying not to be. And then Carmen comes along and points out Charlie and Jared's all 'yeah you should go talk to her that's FINE'. (but also Jared should accept that Peter has to die first because expecting Peter to cope with Jared's deadness is unthinkable. Although I think about it a lot.)

And I love how Jared wants to die first so Peter will feed him. I don't think they even do the Peter and food thing on purpose, but his feeding people is my favourite thing in the world and I love them for every bit of canon they throw my way.

At the end when Peter goes to talk to Charlie and is like 'okay, you stay here, don't follow me' to Jared, did that even come out of anything? Or was that just super weird. Like he was putting down a security blanket and going 'no you stay here and I will see if I'm okay without you for ten minutes?' Is it just that Peter knows that Jared is really bad at letting him have relationships? I quite like Charlie but why Peter thinks he's allowed a relationship when he's just sabotaged one of Jared's is beyond me.

I'm not sure any of this made sense. Try not to judge, I'm very tired.

Random beach sweaters and a thing of beauty.

Maybe every year they'll move somewhere just that bit colder and windier until eventually all the huddling for warmth that I want from them will make sense.

Yes. That needs to be the plan. Lawyering in Alaska. In a cabin. In the woods. With just a small fire. And sweaters.

Or we could just have a beach storm episode where the weather is terrible and chilly and Peter and Jared both get soaked battening down the hatches and there's no power so they have to warm up by sharing body heat. Or whatever.

Him just sort of deciding that he should probably go over there now and looking perfect and Jared being like 'oh god dude, dead people are becoming a regular part of our lives you might need to start coping with them'kasjlfkjasdlj fperfect beautiful I love them.

His face was so amazing. It's so close to having a zombie apocalypse episode. Where Peter is 100% done with finding dead bodies and Jared is 100% done with having to touch dead bodies because Peter won't.

Peter would never be able to deal with finding Jared's body. Oh man. The internal struggle of dead body vs Jared is too much. Can that happen on the show maybe? Where something happens and Peter comes in and thinks Jared's dead and has to force himself over to Jared's body while freaking out about a dead body and then freaking out about Jared and, like, holding his body and then later when everything is actually fine Jared's like 'so you can touch my dead body? That's actually really sweet, man.' and then maybe he randomly pretends to be dead because he hopes Peter will hold him again.

(sometimes I think we have weird wants for this show... but then I think, no these are perfectly reasonable)

I think what I like best about the Peter and food thing is that they brought back up that he was a chubby kid (or that he fought childhood obesity) and I want to think his food stuff is a result of that, like maybe he had some food issues in jr high or something, before becoming a football star (or maybe while? because he was also sad about not being at school with Jared even though they maybe never went to school together at all?) but he got past it by becoming a good cook (better than Colleen, who seems like she might have been kinda flaky about what was going on with dinner) and he'd have Jared over for dinners that he'd make when Jared's dad was too busy with court to make sure Jared ate too.

The end was so weird. And Jared's like 'if I need held I'm not asking you.' and it was like they were actually reassuring each other that they'd be there when the other got back or something.

Peter just keeps being delusional about how he and Jared are so married. Maybe Charlie will understand. And not make anything terrible happen, like encouraging Peter to move out or spend less time with Jared or something because I don't want to not like her. Or her adorable Australian accent.

[jekesta]

I would totally buy them getting into loads of trouble and Stanton sending them off to alaska to open a new branch of the firm up there. That would be a FABULOUS season 4.

And I liked that they mentioned Peter being fat when he was younger again, I don't think I'd ever really thought of that in connection with him giving people food, but yeah, that could totally work. And him having to cook because Colleen was always too busy meditating or only fed him her new fad superfood or whatever absolutely works too and I love EVERYTHING about Peter Bash and food.

Maybe since their total gay love broke up Jared and Emily they've made rules, like 'we won't follow each other around at parties too much' 'we'll let each other talk to girls' 'if you're with a girl and I need help I will not call you first' and such, maybe they were just smiling and confirming that they remembered the rules. I bet they stick to them for like a week.

maybe he randomly pretends to be dead because he hopes Peter will hold him again

This is simultaneously the most beautiful, hilarious, and heartbreaking thing in the world and I want it to be TRUE, I LOVE YOU.

Think of all the sweaters and hats and mittens they could wear in Alaska. Perfect S4.

You know as soon as they do need help and one of them is with a girl that rule goes right out of the window. Even for something like help opening up another beer.

:D
