The party

Wow Gus has a lot of friends for a baby, lol. ;)

A little girl comes up and asks about Mel and Linds being married, and of course the answer is no they're not. Linds tells the little girl to have her parents explain in about 20 years. Considering she'd be 20-something by then, I think she could probably handle it in about 10 years, but whatever lol. The girl just scowls and walks away, but it gets Mel thinking.

	i love how mel refers to justin saying that you are all here to share it with us.. that little girl coming up to mel/linds always struck me weird why she would ask if they were married.. an odd question to ask out of the blue to 2 women..why would that girl think that?

	Oh I never caught that as a reference to Justin before, but I like it. He very nearly wasn't there to share it with them :( Lol I know, I thought that too. Maybe she saw them being all lovey dovey and got the idea in her head to ask that? Idk...more like Cowlip needed to make Mel change her mind, lol. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	it was probably more a mel thing than the lil girl thing...she just seemed so outta place asking that question.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: The party britin1729 2013-06-08 05:56 am UTC (link)
	I could see a little kid asking questions if they'd never seen or heard about a same sex couple before and saw two women kissing. But I doubt that was the case here, since most of Mel and Lindsay's friends are fellow lesbians or gay men. So yeah, ia, it's awkward that she comes up and asks that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Michael and Deb

D: Thirty years ago you had your first birthday party. In the backyard with the kids and the cake. And the swing set. I still don't know what a gratchet is.

Haha! One of the great mysteries of qaf.

M: I feel lost, Ma.
D: You're not lost. You're just full of shit. You're only lost if you're alone. You are surrounded by people who love you. You'll find your way, honey.

Aw great scene between them!

	its funny deb refers to a gratchet..the same way brian did.. but in the short time that michael has been away..alot has changed..and he feels he is behind..i love how deb slaps him back to reality.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Michael and Deb britin1729 2013-06-08 05:49 am UTC (link)
	Me too. He needed to hear it, and it's good advice. Whenever I start to feel like Michael does in this episode, I remind myself of Debbie's words, haha. (Reply to this) (Parent)

The proposal

Love the decorations! And Mel and Linds are so cute here, and love Mel with her wedding plans! Too bad they didn't do the backyard wedding in 211.

Then Mel gets down on one knee! Aw!! She seems so vulnerable asking and waiting for Lindsay's answer. I love how Mel was against getting married at first, but changed her mind and proposed. Just like Brian and Justin. :)

M: If it's not too late to be romantic. Lindsay Peterson, will you marry me?
L: Now you're proposing to me. Well, I'm gonna have to think it over. Yes!

Love when Mel picks Linds up and spins her around. They are so happy!

	you are right just like brian and justin...this is a great scene (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: The proposal britin1729 2013-06-08 05:52 am UTC (link)
	Also just like Brian and Justin, it took Mel and Linds two proposals for there to be a "yes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: The proposal opal11 2013-06-08 06:04 am UTC (link)
	you are right...forgot about that.! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: The proposal britin1729 2013-06-08 06:09 am UTC (link)
	There are a lot of similarities that could be drawn between Mel/Linds and Brian/Justin I think. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Like the first time

This scene is so beautiful! They are finally healing.

It's dark except for the blue light, all shadowy and quiet.

B: You really freaked me out.
J: You?
B: It was like you got hit all over again.
J: I remembered walking away and suddenly hearing your voice call my name, to warn me. You never told me about that. You tried to save me.
B: Guess I forgot.
J: It's a good thing one of us remembered.

And then they share a kiss, and Justin finds the scarf and pulls it off Brian's neck. Even though he doesn't remember Brian wearing it, he knows what it is. And Brian is finally letting this symbol of guilt and tragedy go, letting Justin help him heal as he helps Justin do the same.

J: I want you inside me.
B: Are you sure?
J: Yeah. Just take it easy.
B: Like the first time?

Omg *cries again but in a good way*

I hate the expression "make love" usually, but that's exactly what they do. It's so beautiful, the two of them healing together.

going back to 118 when justin and brian were standing at the bar, and brian reminds justin that he remembers everything that happened that very 1st night, he re-states it to justin tonight and says "like the 1st time"

brian seems a bit awkward that justin found that bloody scarf around his neck..and then tells him he wants brian inside of him..

such a beautiful scene...

	Yes!! You're right. He does remember their first time, and remembers how gentle it was. Yeah, he's almost embarrassed...I think he forgot he had it on, he's been wearing it so much. It's like Justin lifted a weight off his shoulders by removing that scarf, removing the burden of his guilt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	its one of the most tenderest scenes between brian and justin...and i love the ending music.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ia on both counts... not to spoil this scene by bringing up future drama, but when Justin is talking about how he and Ethan fucked under the stars and it was unlike anything he ever did with Brian, I'm always like, hello, how do you not remember this night? It's so tender and sensual.

The music is perfect, but I love that they waited until the end to play it and just went with silence except for B&J for most of it...

	justin is like brian full of bravado...he tells daphne how great ethan is fucking under the stars..but i think its all hype and daphne knows it..."he fucked you so hard you would still feel him the next day".. this had to be memorable for justin..despite what he says..
