(no subject)
Let's discuss how this is the first episode in a long time that I had to watch by myself.
UM UM UM. I AM STILL TOO IN SHOCK TO EVEN FORM COHERENT SENTENCES. I ... I ... NO FOR REAL.
Okay, I don't think I have screamed and squealed and cried simultaneously in MY LIFE until tonight. Seriously.
First of all I totally squealed when "Lover I Don't Have to Love" (like, the best Brian song EVER) was playing in Brian's 'Vette. I might have squealed more than is acceptable.
AND THEN. AND THEN. THE WHOLE BABYLON EXPLODY THING. DEAR.JESUS.
Words cannot even convey ... I'm sure people will have more intelligent things to say. All I know is that it got me right in the gut, and I ... oh god.
Brian. BRIAN. The way he looked when ... when he did EVERYTHING. And finding Justin. And the Michael thing. And then ...
THE END.
Okay. I have a feeling people are going to have some things to say about Brian finally - OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE END THAT IT FINALLY HAPPENED - said "I love you" to Justin. But I think ... I think it worked. Those situations are times when you don't want to mince words on principle. Those situations are extreme, and sure, that's not always a good thing, but ... it's not like it's something that everyone didn't already know. It's not ... well. Anyway. I think that it's not the ideal way I would have had it happen (obviously my ideal anything doesn't involve BABYLON EXPLODING) but I think in the situation they created, it made sense.
AND OMG. THE WAY ... JUST. JUSTIN'S FACE. AND BRIAN'S FACE. Justin pulls on Brian's coat collar and Brian ... okay.
I'm going to watch the episode again now and try to be more coherent.
ETA: A list of things I love about this episode.
- The Ben thing about Michael sounding like Debbie, and then Debbie repeating what Michael said.
- The way the procession of pro-Prop 14 thing was done, as much as the actual thing sucks.
- Everything about the Brian and Ted scene were Ted's looking for a husband, but especially the way Brian laughs after he repeats the "cuddle after a long day" line, and Brian's suit, and that Brian got a clean bill of health, and the way Brian says "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" when Ted hugs him, and Brian saying "G'day mate". SO.CUTE.
- The way the glued-together vase that if you turn it a certain way you can't see the cracks could be a metaphor for Lindsay and Melanie's relationship.
- How they're matching people's ties to their shirts. I think that's so hot.
- AHH FORESHADOWING. Brian saying "Why don't you just buy a stick of dynamite and blow the door down." AHH.
- Emmett's excitement about his Lana Turner movie. Emmett. :X:X:X
Oops, list break cos the roommate just got home and I have threatened him with death if he doesn't watch with me immediately. The rest of the list is forthcoming.
