Continuity issues
So, let's talk QaF continuity issues.

I've noticed a bunch of them, but I'm always distracted by Brian's avocado and peanut butter jar juggling act in 202 when Jen's asking him to take Justin. He goes from cutting the avocado to opening the peanut butter jar (without any movement in between) and putting the lid and the jar down, back to cutting the avocado while the jar is magically sitting there closed again, more cutting the avocado while the jar is magically sitting there open again, to opening the peanut butter jar and putting the lid down again.

Is there one that never ceases to amuse or irritate you?

I've got two scenes that alway kinda freak me out...

One is the classroom scene in 116 before Justin tells his teacher "fuck you". What is up with his freaking backpack? It's on, it's off, it's on, its off...AARRRGGG!

The other is the Pole!Sex scene 218(I think) and Justin's pants. I don't know maybe the director was doing some kinda visual thingy (kinda like the office scene in 308)but Justin's pants go up and down his ass so much it should make Brian jealous. Really throws me out of the scene.

	Lol. I've noticed dozens of these issues, but I've never noticed either of those! I'll have to make a point of looking for them on my next go round. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Pole!sex also has that weird edit in the middle where there is a close-up of Brian's hand on Justin's and it looks like Justin may be wearing Brian's bracelet. It is only for a moment. I've seen conjecture that this may be a private joke of Randy & Gale's, but I've never seen anything confirming this fact. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I never noticed that! I'll have to check it out. Okay, I'm really just gonna watch them fuck and pretend I'm looking for that part. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

I never know if they do this in sex scenes just as an editing style thing, because ALL of the undressing sex scenes are edited this way. the long kiss at the end of 219 Brian takes Justin's jacket off twice. In "ready to go" there's undressing things over again, in 308 reunification there's the double take (here it's more obvious and assumed to be a style choice) but it happens ALL the time.

I've rewatched the pole!sex scene 10 times now looking for this -- expected it to be like the reunion!sex scene where they loop the same bit a few times for effect -- but I gotta say, I just don't see it here. We see B pull his pants part way down, then the rest of the way down. I never see them back up. *shrug*

But I totally see the backpack thing! I can't believe I never noticed that before! It's dizzying.

	Hmm, perhaps I'm confusing it with another scene then. I'll admit, it's been a while since I've been able to watch some of the later season 2 episodes, so I may have mixed it up a bit. Sorry to have sent you on a wild goose chase. If I track it down and figure it out I'll let you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No worries. It's not like watching QaF sex scenes is a great hardship or anything hon. (Reply to this) (Parent)
