I take back what I said last night. In retrospect, I could say 102, but that wouldn't be true. I think the second time I watched, I fell sooner. But not the first time.
I'm not sure when I fell in love with Brian. I started to like him around 103, I think. Didn't love him, though. I loved the IDEA of him and Justin around 107. Yeah, THAT scene. Not that the cherry popping wasn't good, 107 was just...raw, animalistic want/lust. You gotta love that.
Justin's easier. He annoyed the ever-lovin shit out of me for awhile. I think it was because when I watched 101 for the first time, I had a shitty, bratty, smart-mouthed 17 year old at home, and wasn't inclined to be sympathetic to his constant need for attention. What I really wanted was to smack him upside the head from about 102 to 105. I'll get back to that. Suffice it to say that I fell in love with Justin in 108. "Don't Tell Me." That, to me wasn't annoying. It was adorable.
Brian, though...I liked Brian's overt sexuality and his penchant for snark. I liked watching him and Mel go at it. Falling in love...I'd have to say 105. Brian walking out of the hotel room, refusing to be used to acquire an account, then showing up late to Linds', relying on her sympathy, holding Gus (Sexy Boy), and perhaps thinking that there was no way he wouldn't drop everything if his kid was sick or hurt. In fact, four episodes later, he showed us exactly that, when he rushed to the hospital when Gus got sick.
Oh yeah, smacking Justin upside the head...102. Debbie is a good woman, and a saint. Because if my kid practically knocked me over to get in the door, as Justin did when Deb so graciously took him home, they would have found their little ass on the ground looking up. I'd have made the little shit walk. Considering what we come to know about Justin, I really have a hard time watching that scene, when he is so incredibly rude to an adult, especially one that was attempting to help him.
Don't get me started on the 1001 ways I'd stew Brian's balls for his many acts of rudeness.
