Re: normal
Well said! Yeah, Ethan doesn't exactly squick me -- I get why Justin is pulled in. And it's not like Ethan's particularly evil or anything -- I mean, his aim isn't to manipulate Justin or threaten the BJ relationship, even if we the viewers do feel such a threat. I suppose we can't blame him if he sees what I think we all see -- that Justin is absolutely adorable and someone we'd love to have around permanently :-)
This is only my second go-round on S2, and I watched the first round on DVD in such a concentrated rush that I'm still sorting out my thoughts about it all. Watching with others - including others who know the series very well by now -- is sort of calming. I'm still emotionally wrapped up in it, but having people to discuss it with is a great decompressor. So thanks!
