[Nov. 16th, 2009|09:58 pm] |
The diner plays such an important role in the show that it almost seems like it's another character. It introduced us to Debbie and it's the perfect spot for the gang to hang out.
Some of my fave scenes take place at the Liberty Diner from the PRIDE scene to Em eating his donut with a fork and it goes on.
Share some of your fave diner memories! |

I've got a continuity question for you. When does Brian get his Corvette? Its after the Carnival in 303, but does the car actually show up in that episode or is it 304/305?
The more important question is going to be up for some debate; has Justin seen the Corvette before 308 when he and Brian get back together at Vanguard? I am writing a gap filler for 308-309 and I am not sure how to have Justin referencing Brian's car.
Thank you so much for your help! |

| Rage Help! |
[Oct. 19th, 2009|05:35 pm] |
I need a little help with the names of Rage characters. Particularly villains. The only one I can think of at the moment is Razorback. Do they ever mention any others by name?
Which other characters are there there besides Rage, JT and Zephyr? I think Ben has a paleontologist modelled after him, Professor Kent Kirchner, or something like that. Who else! |

Which female character was the hardest for you to come to love, but did eventually?
What else do you have to say about why the women of QaF are made of awesome?

I've been wondering lately... I know Debbie was the one who came up with Justin's nickname but...
do we get to hear anyone else using it? I'm sure Brian has used it several times but I only can recall two occasions:
Hey Sunshine, come and congratulate me...your partner, just made partner! - Season 2
&
Is that your idea of true love, Sunshine? - Season 3
Any other scene you remember? |

| Brian's Donations |
[Oct. 11th, 2009|11:39 am] |
How many dollars in the course of the show did Brian raise for the Pittsburgh GLBT community?
I can think of $160K for the center: Carnival (his corporate sponsors matched funds raised up to one hundred thousand dollars, we know Brian skimmed 20% from the top, so lets say they matched $80K).
And $100K plus $2K for what became Vic Grossi House: Liberty Ride plus donation (Endeavor sponsorship of his ride and his Barcelona chair).
And $100K as Concerned Citizens for the Truth (his campaign against Stockwell).
Do you agree with these figures? Are there more to add?
ETA - $10K for the Marriage Initiative from Pool Boy campaign (addition via ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) vl_redreign *Smackles her*). |

| 117 questions and thoughts |
[Oct. 9th, 2009|03:11 pm] |
Watching 117 again, I wondered how Debbie went from the diner scene where Michael bluntly tells her not to come to his party and she accepts this, to showing up with the gang all dressed in very conspicuous outfits. (Debbie gets a pass in her outfit though, since this is how she usually dresses for fancy occasions.) What went on that we didn't see? Did she purposefully go there to embarrass Michael? I doubt it, yet it seems incongruous that she would then show up with her loud and obnoxious motley crew. How can she be so "ashamed" of him when he asked her not to come, yet she did anyway and completely overtook the party? This Debbie reminds me of the Debbie that fights with Vic right before he dies, and I don't like it. But I still wonder who said what to whom to get her to go to the party. Was it Vic? Brian? Did she think sneaking in wouldn't be so bad, but then everyone else dressed up and acted up, so she let her true personality out? What do you all think?
I love BJ together and the 'no kissing others' rule that comes in 206, but I super LOVE watching Brian kiss that waiter and other men in general. YUM. He kisses like no one else, with his whole body.
Brian: Well, don't think that you've won... 'Cause the minute you do that, you're dead.
Woe foreshadowing. Somebody hold me. |

| Episode 211 Confusion |
[Oct. 6th, 2009|01:50 pm] |
I need some help and input! And I will preface this by saying that I love all QAF characters and am not really interested in hate of any kind. That said...
What is going on with Brian offering his tickets to Miami to Lindsay? And Lindsay refusing to take them? What am I supposed to take away from this? What is it telling me about Brian's development, or his and Lindsay's relationship, or whatever it is that I am not getting?
Cause so far, all I take away is hurt and the sense of another cosmic slap on Brian's nose with a rolled-up newspaper, for trying to do something outside his "Brian Kinney is an asshole" box, similar to the feelings of Justin being bashed as punishment for the prom. I mean, Brian offered to give up his trip why, if not because he wanted to do something nice for his friends? Why doesn't Lindsay accept this more personal gift from Brian as easily as she and Mel accepted the rings and the wedding? Why does it sound like an attempt to keep Brian from being more than he has been? On the other hand, it seems Lindsay is giving him the out he really wants. I don't think he actually wanted to go to the wedding, but why make the gesture in the first place? No one expected it. It would have had shock value, but Brian usually has a plan behind his grand gestures, and I can't figure this one out. Is Brian hurt by Lindsay's refusal, and it's wording, or grateful as she believes? After all these years, I'm certain that she doesn't really believe that Brian wouldn't sacrifice for the people he loves, does she?
My head is starting to hurt! Season 2, in general, is confusing to me, but this is one of those things that never clears up for me as I rewatch it.
I'm sure that this has been discussed before, probably ad nauseum, but I would appreciate your perspective.
Thanks! |

| Show & Tell: Outside |
[Oct. 3rd, 2009|03:32 pm] |
I'm showing you one of mine, now it's your turn.
There's so many significant moments in this series that take place outside. Here's one of them. I love the sun shining down on them and Brian's faith in Justin at this moment and then Justin's completely correct reading of the situation between Brian and Michael. Brian and Justin are so very perfect for one another. Brian supports Justin with that unwavering faith and Justin, he, despite being so broken himself, gently prods Brian to be all that he can be. GOD I LOVE THEM SO.

| THE DISAPPEARANCE OF BRIAN'S COWRY SHELL BRACELET |
[Oct. 1st, 2009|04:10 pm] |
|
I’ve watched Ep. 304 a gazillion times (especially the end), read a gazillion “old” and “new” discussions of same and I still don’t get it. The MySpace Friend I made several years ago said Brian untied the bracelet and flung it across the loft, but I don’t see it. Maybe the bracelet was contaminated by Brian’s nephew, but why would same nephew find the bracelet in a box? I just don’t get it. |

| Show & Tell: Romantical!Brian |
[Aug. 28th, 2009|04:14 pm] |
Brian isn't into romance and yet, he's so very romantical in just about every unconventional way possible. Agree or Disagree? Tell us and/or share your favorite romantical!Brian moments.
Here's one of mine. It is of course from PRIDE, 204.
"Hey Stud, wanna dance? I promise you won't forget this one."
I mean who else can be so sweet and romantical while referencing a tragedy? Anyway, I'm pretty sure that leaves us all swimming in the love! |

| Show & Tell: Drunk and/or High |
[Aug. 14th, 2009|06:49 pm] |
Getting high or drunk and acting silly, that's tonight's topic. Whether it's drunk!Justin or High/Drunk!Brian or anyone from the gang, it's all fun.
by maxymama
This one from the muncher's brunch (to quote Brian) is an excellent example of all of them having a little too much fun. LOL Do you have more from this scene? And what about the tons of others. Show 'em or Tell me about 'em. And while you do it, think about this: Are any of them more honest when they're high or drunk? |

| Show & Tell: Emmett's outfits |
[Aug. 8th, 2009|12:05 pm] |
Our beloved Emmett definitely has a way with clothes. His ensembles are terrific, definitely not soporific. I've showed you mine, now you tell me yours!
This outfit just makes me squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee every single time I watch 409. It showcases how Emmett's fashion sense has matured and become more sophisticated. ROFL Plus, he matches the snow. What do you think? Show us some of your favorite Emmett outfits and tell us why you like it.
Sorry I missed this yesterday guys - I lost the whole day to a fog pretty much. |

| S4, EP. 6 – The Kinnetik Launch Party, et al |

| [ | Current Mood |
| |  frustrated | ] |
For the past month, I’ve been re-watching/studying the series for the gazillionth time. As always, I’m stuck on this particular scene and episode. It completely baffles me. I just don’t get it. I feel there’s a major disconnect between S4, Ep. 5 and S4, Ep. 6. Like there should have been an episode or two in between. I don’t understand why Brian was suddenly so focused on Lindsay and asked her to come up “on stage” with him when he’s about to make his speech. I don’t understand why Justin is so shiny‑happy. I’m usually good at figuring these things out, but I am completely stumped. Did I miss something in the previous S4 episodes/scenes? As Joe Miller (Denzel Washington) said to Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks) in the film “Philadelphia”: Explain this to me like I’m a two‑year‑old. Because there’s an element to this thing that I just cannot get through my thick head. |

Brian and Justin communicate so much through touch and hugs are no exception. There's oh so many I'd love to pick and talk about but here's the one I'm going with from 407:
They're both almost tiptoeing around each other yet trying to reassure one another. It's so touching and so very them!
Now it's your turn! |

| Red heels from 112 |
[Jul. 27th, 2009|10:38 pm] |
Hello all!
I'm finishing up watching 112 while working through the marathon I've undertaken with my friend S, a QaF first-timer. He pointed something out to me that I haven't really noticed too much before. Forgive me if this has been spelled out or discussed before, but we were extremely curious to hear if anyone knew/had an idea:
The legs with red heels are all over the episode - at the beginning calling for "Shooters!" and Brian looked up his/her skirt, and then the next time the were at Woody's, and then at Babylon at the end. Is there a significance to it?
Anyone have thoughts they'd like to share? We'd both be extremely grateful if anyone could shed some light on this. |

| SHOW & TELL: Daphne Moments |
[Jul. 24th, 2009|03:52 pm] |
Daphne is always such a good friend. It doesn't matter whether she's sneaking out in her car to carry Justin away to find his Brian, or if she's reminding Justin that Brian never lied to him, she's a force to be reckoned with...agree/disagree or just want to wax poetic about Daphne? Have at it cuz it's show and tell night. :D
 by brianslave68
I enjoy the way Daphne stays loyal to Justin even when she thinks he's making a mistake. Like here, in the grocery store, she's listening to him ramble on and then she points out REALITY. Gotta love her! |
