As close as we're probably going to get to a Halloween episode.

Date: 2014-10-16 09:09 am (UTC)Everything about Peter being afraid of ghosts was perfect. (his poor panicked expression when the couple first dropped the ghost bomb)
I want him and Jared watching scary movies when they were kids. and when they were teens. and how that worked out. ...okay I want Jared comforting Peter and making him breathe into a paper bag when he starts to hyperventilate and rubbing his back and holding his hand and telling him that everything is okay.
Jared hiding in the refrigerator. Jared being able to fit inside a refrigerator. And either they have absolutely no food or they pulled everything out and stuck it somewhere. (I kinda like the idea that they have no food, but a full stocked beer cooler)
Dan and his giant bowie knife. Getting stabby. Dan and his weird (?) way of eating a grapefruit. Do they have to buy grapefruits just for Dan? Does Peter usually segment them for Dan? Dan getting it with that ghost investigator.
I think we can assume that Damien owns his own robe. SO cute. He, like, really thought about being a judge.
Bonnie! I don't really understand her and Jared making out but I still love her.
Anita! Anita being all vengeful and winning sexiest lawyer of the year. Aww. It felt like maybe there was more of a story between her and the other lawyer, but, like, they either didn't flesh it out or it got cropped for time or something.
No Swatello. She better be there next ep.
Stanton and his mysterious letter and interest in the great beyond.
I love that Peter and Jared are still a bit terrible at acting naturally while being filmed. Stilted and adorable.
There was totally a ghost in that house right? F&B!verse has canon ghosts?
Judge Ernie Hudson. In a ghost episode. Perf.
Cloris Leachman was lovely as the old lady. She's really got that 'stand there and look out of it' thing down.
Probably shouldn't have used gypsy, but it seemed like maybe they tried a little because they also used romani. That whole angle coulda been scrapped tho.
eta:Peter looked really adorable with his hair all floppy after the Jared / Bonnie on the porch scene and Peter was wearing this like hoody zip up thing and it was just really great.

Date: 2014-10-16 09:41 am (UTC)I bet when they were kids Jared never got to enjoy Halloween because he had to just keep Peter safe all the time, or stay in with him probably, and watch really really non scary movies and play cheerful music with all the lights on. Also probably make out with him a bit, just for added calm.
Yeah, gypsy curses wasn't great at all. And like you said, I think they did try a little, and I think some gypsies do still prefer the term gypsy so it gets complicated, but F&B isn't exactly a show that needs to go there, so just scrapping it would have been so much better. (Much as I loved Peter being almost beyond panic about Dan probably being cursed.)
LKSDHOFIjslkd them filming their advert type thing was great yes. Jared being all 'that's right, Peter!' was so beautiful, and doing the big circle for 'round the clock'. I want to see them at home writing it and rehearsing it. And wondering if they should just make out for a while instead and win the gay vote for hottest lawyers.
Peter loves giving people food. I took his offer to segment a grapefruit for Dan as just another fabulous example of how he likes to give people food. Which makes me stupid happy.

Date: 2014-10-16 10:13 am (UTC)Poor Peter and long suffering Jared. Oh man, Colleen buying bags of candy because Peter won't go out to T-or-T... Jared trying to find the least scary Halloween special on tv (they tried 'It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown' but Peter freaked over anthropomorphic pumpkins and wouldn't carve Jack-o-lanterns that year)... spending their teen years trying to find a scary movie that isn't too scary for Peter (because how are you going to get girls if you can't take them to scary movies and have them hang onto you? girls don't like it when you hang onto your best friend instead), maybe going to a scary movie a bunch of times until Peter can handle it (or at least knows when to close his eyes), which, of course, leads to lots of dark movie theater scared cuddling in the back row for Jared and Peter where Peter's face is pressed into Jared's shoulder, and then his neck, and when Peter tries to look up Jared grabs his face 'Not yet Peter, still pretty scary.' and tilts him away from the screen, sort of leaning Peter in front of him, so that Jared can see what's going on and still look at Peter. But he's not really looking at the screen, and Peter knows it because Jared's face is the only thing he can see in the dark movie theater and Jared's eyes are on him. 'Way too scary... I think we should make sure you don't see any of it.' And then Jared kisses him and Peter closes his eyes even though there isn't anything even remotely scary happening on screen anymore.
I want to see them at home writing it and rehearsing it. And wondering if they should just make out for a while instead and win the gay vote for hottest lawyers.
This is so what happened! At first it was just some hands on stage directing, and then it got really hands on.
Dan being all sleepy in the morning and just mumbling 'grapefruit' as his head rests on the table and Peter slicing up a grapefruit for him and segmenting it and making sure that Dan uses a spoon... domestic food giver Peter is the best.

Date: 2014-10-16 09:06 pm (UTC)lkasjdhfoijaoidjfsdf the whole scary movie thing yes yes exactly that. They totally did that. And afterwards while the credits are rolling Jared would be like 'I just, I mean that was just to keep you quiet' and Peter looks at him funny because he knows he wasn't making any noise, and Jared looks away and then they're quiet for a minute before Peter touches his arm and asks if he wants to stay for the next screening.

Date: 2014-10-17 07:13 am (UTC)Their teenage love is so amazing and sweet. And how they don't really even talk about what happened just sort of go along with it happening again. It's so perfect.

Date: 2014-10-16 09:22 am (UTC)Peter was scared of things! And Jared hit him instead of CUDDLING HIM, but that's okay maybe. In my heart he held his hand a bit when he made him go in the ghost house and also stroked his arm. Peter saying 'I don't get hysterical' was LOVELY, I love denial. And Jared being scared in the house on his own was brilliant.
I love Bonnie. I liked them telling her she was doing well in court. And the ghost hunter woman seemed nice, although nobody should have to kiss creepy dan, and I liked it more when she just casually had a boyfriend and wasn't interested in him.
I am sad for Jared and Ellen that Jared just has sex with everyone. If they're still planning to get them back together, and Peter seems pretty convinced that they are, and he wouldn't be talking about her in episodes she's not in I think if they weren't. And it's not like I think sleeping with other people is a big betrayal, but Bonnie isn't even just a sex thing, she's really sweet and he likes her, so that's a bit emotionally detaching, and also I wouldn't have a trouble with it because obviously in real truth Ellen would be sleeping with people all over the place and not even caring, but I suspect in their weird heads that's not happening I don't know if any of the words I just wrote made sense.
Peter is so beautiful I don't know how people look at him.
Jared hid in a fridge, at least half of my education was spent telling me never to get in a fridge, I was truly shocked by him. But OH GOD HE IS SMALL AND BEAUTIFUL.
I liked Anita's b-plot, although the trial could have been more fun. HER FACE IS INCREDIBLE, I love her so much now, and I wish she could have been in episodes with Carmen, maybe she can be in the Hanna/Ellen/Carmen spinoff show that I've convinced myself we'll get eventually. I like that Damien dressed up. HAS LITERALLY EVERYONE IN ANITA'S LIFE BETRAYED HER? her best friend had sex with her fiance, her fiance had sex with her best friend, and now a different best friend cheated against her. How does she trust literally anyone? Damien had better treat her well.

Date: 2014-10-16 09:48 am (UTC)Peter saying he doesn't get hysterical while having hysterical eyes and possible hysterical breathing was lovely.
Sad that Jared had to slap him, but perhaps Jared was just being practical and thinking about the business and then was very nice to Peter the rest of the time.
I figured that ghost hunter woman was also sort of creepy? in that her and Dan could relate to knives and ghost things and having weird haunted house sex while ghosts watched, so they kind of seemed like a match.
Jared could have died in that fridge from lack of oxygen. I'm glad he didn't. He's too small to be put in places like that.
Sometimes I don't really think about Peter being beautiful (because I'm terrible) but then other times I see him and it's just like 'oh wow so amazing perfect'.
The Hanna/Ellen/Carmen spinoff show is totes going to happen if we wish hard enough and Ellen will bring Anita along and her and Carmen can become besties because yes and no one will hurt Anita again ever.
(and her lawyer best friend being like 'always an excuse not to date'? and it was all terribly sad and yes Damien needs to be extra sweet with her.)

Date: 2014-10-16 08:59 pm (UTC)Jared should have totally made himself up to look dead and just slumped at the bottom of the fridge so that Peter thought he'd died waiting to jump out at him, that is so cruel and awful, he totally shouldn't have done that.

Date: 2014-10-18 02:36 am (UTC)Jared hid in the fridge. Jared fits in the fridge. I want a wallpaper of Jared in the fridge.
Is Stanton dying? Wasn't there a still of Stanton sitting on a coffin? Is Stanton organizing his own funeral? I wonder if once he hears the news Peter will find impossible not to see Infeld as a corpse-to-be and start avoinding him and feeling terrible about it.
I don't want to get all Film Studies major here, but, guys, Dan stabbed
puppet!Peter and we now he's been courting Jared. That was a clear message of 'stop playing with Jared's emotions or else'. Fuck ghosts, Peter should be scared of Dan.no subject
Date: 2014-10-18 08:48 am (UTC)I'm so worried about Stanton. I'm kind of hoping it's some weird group that he's gotten himself tangled up in... like the ancient order of something.
I was omg that he stabbed only puppet!Peter. Like, yes, totally a sign that Peter should be watching his back. And probably not leave Jared home alone with Dan anymore.

Date: 2014-10-18 09:11 pm (UTC)I am so looking forward to the coffin episode, not least because Breckin slept in a coffin when he was a teenager and MPG obviously knows that and maybe we can have some rps where he is like 'let's relive your weird gothy youth' when the set is quiet.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-19 09:41 am (UTC)I now desperately need rps where MPG initiates weird coffin sex with Breckin. That's brilliant.
(I actually just kinda need any kind of rps where MPG takes the lead because I've been reading Breckin's twitter and he clearly needs someone to come and take care of him and possibly save him from whatever Seth Green makes him do)
no subject
Date: 2014-10-19 05:10 pm (UTC)I KNOW. I can't believe we're not awash with fic about mpg just saving him from sadness all the time. And I think saving him through the medium of coffin sex would be a fine place to start.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-20 08:38 am (UTC)Like, MPG should be watching Breckin's twitter and then rushing to his aid. Ugh. But, you know, doing it kind of on the down low so that it doesn't seem stalker-y. And not like mentioning any specific things that Breckin tweets about, but doing little, sweet things like coffin sex. Like 'hey, do you know what's hot? this coffin.' as he strokes the satin covered coffin cushions. 'you know what's also hot? you.' as he strokes Breckin's face.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-19 07:15 pm (UTC)Maybe if Breckin is willing to put up with a slighty drunk Reed, they could hang out together...
no subject
Date: 2014-10-20 08:52 am (UTC)(I mean, he's a 40 year old man, I'm sure he's probably perfectly capable of living alone, but still)
Maybe Breckin needs more of an adult than a slightly drunk Reed can be. But, yeah, that seems like that'd be really cute. I'm sad we never see them together. Maybe Breckin feels like he can't hang out with Reed because Reed's so busy with all his other tv roles. And all Breckin has is F&B and Robot Chicken. Poor Breckin.

Date: 2014-10-18 09:11 pm (UTC)I wonder if the writers knew the show was going to start on August instead of July and thought 'we get mid-october episodes!' and did this for us.
I'd be torture, but I'm kinda hope next season starts in September so we can get a Halloween and a Thanksgiving episode. Imagine the guys on sweaters! Maybe Dan has been keeping a living turkey in his room to fatten it but some day Peter and Jared find it and Jared gets really attached to it and names it Yam or something and Dan and Peter chastise him because you can't named the dinner, Jared! And the time comes and no one dares to kill it, so they just buy a frozen turkey (which Peter cooks, obviously) and Dan feeds little pieces to Yam and the boys find it incredible disturbing...
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY KINDA GIVE US A HALLOWEEN EPISODE, WE'LL JUST WANT MORE HOLIDAY EPISODES!

Date: 2014-10-19 09:35 am (UTC)That's so what would happen. Poor Yam, he didn't die but he still has to live with Dan.
It's like giving a mouse a cookie. We've had the cookie and now we need the milk and the haircut and the bed and the story and for F&B to never end and just have all the holiday episodes.
