*shakes fist at their history*
I love that they keep sailing the Jared/Pindar ship. Jardar? Pinred?
I kind of loved Damien this episode. He really wanted to help. And he even got into a Franklin and Bash type defense. Aww.
(I also feel bad for Damien because jail stink!F&B took his old scotch and called him a replicant and made him repeat asking for help. Poor Damien.)
I felt bad for Pindar. No one really believed he saw Freck climb out of the ocean. Sad.
Why no Carmen?
Peter and Jared talking about prison food and where it's best. I dunno... so cute?
I like Charlie. I don't mind her kid. (sweetly blase about everything. and how adorable was Jared when he was pleased that he was taller than Tess.) But I wish they'd be done with her and Peter. It's sweet, it just takes up so much time.
Time that would be better spent showing Jared and Peter taking sunset walks on the beach and confirming that they are, indeed, life partners. *dies*

I think the idea is that all their friends know each other regardless of where they met because once you know them you are at their parties for the rest of your life, although they do keep having to tell people they've moved so possibly a lot of people are still just going and partying in the burned down cave, and that's sad but kind of sweet.
SUNSET WALKS, WHY DON'T WE GET TO SEE THOSE THAT IS PERFECT AND AWESOME AND OH MY GOD.
It's sweet, it just takes up so much time
Yes! I mean she's fine, I quite like her, but she's not that interesting, she can't be involved with the cases, surely it would make more sense to have her at least something to do with their lives, rather than tagged on and taking up time. Maybe they're going to move to san francisco to be with her.
so cute?
SO CUTE. Also not letting Damien be in their gang. Also thinking all their co workers are probably demons. Also arguing that corporations are gangs and their logo is their tag, that is AWESOME.
THe Jared/Pindar stuff is yes, so pretty. Also Jared wore funny cap sleeves and looked amazing and how do people not lick him?
no subject
Date: 2013-07-19 04:45 am (UTC)They probably think that all of their co workers are demons because Peter and Jared found out that Janie was a hexenbiest and now they're mentally scarred. (I like to think Swatello found out first... I mean, it must have been magic that caused Janie to be promoted before her.)
Jared should be being licked all the time. No one even offers. It's like the baffling way no one ever offers Breckin a decent role in any movie.

Date: 2013-07-19 05:30 am (UTC)AND we get a goodbye at the airport where Peter hugs Pindar and Carmen and then hugs Jared the longest until Carmen's all like "a-hem..." and then Peter goes off and Jared spends the rest of the day moping. Then we'd also get a reunion when Peter realises he was crazy to leave, comes back and turns up at the office to surprise Jared, who's all ridiculously smiley and happy to see him and then they go to the diner.
But that being said, I'd love to see them move to Frisco together too. Especially if Charlie thinks it's just Peter and then Jared turns up too and Peter & Jared thought it was obvious that he'd come along because how could they do their work and being awesome if they weren't together?
I swear, I have never had so many headcanons for a show before as I have for this one.

Date: 2013-07-18 05:44 am (UTC)Things I did enjoy though were;
- Peter freaking out that there was blood and Jared being totally awesome and offering to go look in the trunk at potentially a dead body.
- The boys teasing Damien about just about everything and calling him a replicant. I've missed their interactions.
- Pindar being his usual self, searching for health hazards, being protective of his collectables. But seriously, what is up with the one week Carmen, one week Pindar theme we seem to have going? Their scenes together are always great and I miss them :(
- Damien's case and how he genuinely wanted to help. I really think he feels out of place now that Hanna's gone, what with Stanton being on his spiritual trip and Peter and Jared being so wrapped up in their own little world he doesn't really have anybody to talk to that understands him any more. But he came through with a Franklin & Bash-esque move in the end.
- The whole moving/new job thing with Charlie was strange. Usually the women just move away between episodes/seasons but to set it up like this and the recurring theme of marriage/commitment makes me wonder if something will be different this time around.
- Peter totally bailing with Tess. He'd be such a good dad, he should just probably do his research a little better next time. Winnie the Pooh, Peter? Really? And I love that Tess liked Pindar more. He could do with more people interaction, even if they are eight.
Finally, my favouritest thing about the whole episode; Tess asking if Jared was Peter's life partner and NEITHER OF THEM DENYING IT! In fact, not only did they not deny it, they even sort of agreed. And when do these sunset walks happen? I demand to see them, dammit! It's totally unfair to tell us amazingly cute things happen and not show us. *pouts*
I also just wanted to say this feels like it's been the longest week ever. I've been pretty upset over the loss of Cory Monteith and I was really looking forward to the episode since I knew that it would give me the laughs I needed and they delivered. I love this show :)

Date: 2013-07-18 06:46 am (UTC)I know! I want them working as a team. It's like the writer's think having two characters of color on screen at the same time will make the world explode or something.
...but to set it up like this and the recurring theme of marriage/commitment makes me wonder if something will be different this time around.
I've got the creepy vibes off of this too. I know they've got Peter being weird obsessed with being married, but it so wouldn't be good for the show.
no subject
Date: 2013-07-18 07:45 am (UTC)I'm kinda ok with Peter getting married (don't hate me), but I see him marrying someone...not Charlie. I don't know. I'm very protective of who Peter dates or whatever. I didn't like that cop chick (she wasn't important enough for me to remember her name), Janie was whatever, and to me Charlie is just meh.
I just realized though that if Peter were to get married, he would probably move out of that house (i was gunna say the cave... *sobs*) and that would be a HELL NO.
no subject
Date: 2013-07-18 04:23 pm (UTC)This is the thing! Sometimes I'm kind of almost okay with him marrying someone - I mean I just don't think it would last, but he'd get it out of his system at least - but who? I don't think it would work either for Peter or for the show. Because nobody they'ver written so far works, and I don't see how they would make anyone fit into the show when they ALREADY have too many people in their show. The only real person who was okay so far was Ellen with Jared. And that's because she didn't really like Jared - I mean she did, but you know - so she didn't want to take any of their time away from each other, she just wanted him at nights. I could see that working, but otherwise I ... don't know.
But yes, also if they get married they will have to live apart and then they'll just be SAD ALL THE TIME. how is that a plan????

Date: 2013-07-18 04:41 pm (UTC)I have genuinely never felt as loved by a tv show as I feel when they find reasons for Peter to be scared of things. I love that he's scared by blood, and how he doesn't even bother trying to be brave.
NEITHER OF THEM DENYING IT
RIGHT??? Their faces just kind of went 'yeah sort of' and their eyes went 'I LOVE YOU SO MUCH'. Perfectness.
::hugs you:: I'm sorry about Cory Monteith, that's such a horrible shock and it's really hard as a fan, somehow it always leaves me feeling a bit guilty for feeling bad because obviously it's such a removed level, but at the same time it is a genuine sadness.

Date: 2013-07-18 10:37 am (UTC)I actually made dolphin noises when Tess asked if they were life parters and no one even batted an eyelid. And that it was 'when we get married' I really want there to be a thing where they need to be married for some reason and they kind of like it and never bother to have it annulled...
Damien's hair was slightly better, but still scary. And I'm glad he got his balls out of the glove box *g* and that he actually wanted to help.
The case was okay, not stellar, but then again they can't all be and I'm resigning myself to the hand wavey about their history now , at least we have fic...
And can we please have Pindar and Carmen in the same episode and in the same scene??? This every other episode thing is really just not on.
Right I'm off for a re watch with a note pad...

Date: 2013-07-18 04:06 pm (UTC)THEY LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL ALL DONE UP FOR A WEDDING. I kind of want Jared to google to find out if because he's allowed to do weddings he's allowed to marry himself topeople, and then sort of trick Peter into marrying him a bit. I think it would just be easier for both of them if they got married without having to think about it or deal with it.
I liked Pindar a lot this episode, although yes, having hima dn Carmen there together would be GREAT. Possibly it's a money thing? I guess better them one at a time than cut one of them altogether at least.
Jared's 'you can't be in our gang' was the most perfect thing I've ever heard. I LOVE HIS EVERYTHING.
no subject
Date: 2013-07-19 09:21 pm (UTC)I think it would be easier for the both of them to be married a little bit too. Kind of like a civil partnership deal so that they both get each other's stuff and such and then they realise they want a bit more...
I thought it was a money thing too :\ hopefully they'll work out it's better with both of them together at the same time rather than 'in the other room' thing.
It's easy to love Jared's everything. I'm very much okay with that...
no subject
Date: 2013-07-18 05:52 pm (UTC)YES! I want this so freakin' much. But I'm pretty sure it would end up having to be a divorce rather than an annulment ;) Which would never happen anyways because LOVE!

Date: 2013-07-18 04:01 pm (UTC)And he looked at Jared! Adn then he made it sort of be about some girl that Jared had sort of fallen in love with whenever that was, but he was so not thinking about a girl Jared had fallen in love with.
SUNSET WALKS!!!!!! Was it you who was just saying last week how if we can't have the diner we need sunset walks? And then we get them but aren't allowed to seeeeee. So not fair. But beautiful. And perfect. But not fair. Their need for alone time kills me, it's just too gorgeous.
And they basically just smiled at each other about being life partners. Because I suppose that's more what they are than anything else. I feel kind of awful how much I want them to be married gay boyfriends who are in love forever, it's like I'm trying to put them in a box, when they're quite happy doing their own thing. But their own thing is going to break their hearts eventually, and my way they could have a family and stability and kiss each other whenever they want to, which would be BETTER. I WIN.

Date: 2013-07-18 05:47 pm (UTC)"Sometimes, grown-ups take walks to..."
Be ridiculously romantic and in love? Make out a little? Get some much needed alone time?
no subject
Date: 2013-07-18 06:39 pm (UTC)Yes, where was he struggling to go with that sentence? Sometimes we take walks to be in love without admitting it to ourselves. Or sometimes we just need to hold hands for a bit shut up that's not weird. Or I'm not in love with him, it's just sunsets are more beautiful when Peter's near them, NO REALLY SCIENTIFICALLY. I can't believe they're taking romantic walks on the beach and not letting us see. SHAME ON THEM SHAME.
