for the most sensitive among us the noise can be too much.

I know! The more that I start picking out the scenes, the more I could see that even though Brian's words made him a total asshole, his body language went the complete opposite way. He kept his eyes on Justin when he made him confront Ethan right in front of him. The look on his face when Michael told him that he was out there cheating on him. And in this scene, Brian gets up from the table, gives his speech about dick, goes to the fridge (even though he doesn't need anything in there - it's just seems like nervous tension), and then goes back to his chair. Oh man. The angst! It burns.

Goes back to the chair and puts his head down on his hand. Like he's too overwhelmed to keep it up. And Justin is standing right there and not seeing the pain. Or he's seeing it but his own pain is fogging his own vision.

Angst! Oh how I love it!!!!!!!

From:

YOU'RE RIGHT! IT'S DOUBLE PAIN!

*needs to find fic right now*

I feel the same way about that scene.

From:

Right? Oh man. It kills me every time and it never gets any better as if I'm waiting for something to change and it doesn't.

From:

And here's where I once again admit I never watched some episodes of S2.:p Maybe someday.

From:

WHAT! NO WAY. REALLY? ... or like you skipped them and haven't seen them again?

From:

*coughs* ...like, never watched them at all. *hides*

From:

OH EM GEE. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? YOU ARE MISSING SOME GREAT MOMENTS. GREAT I MEAN HEARTBREAKING BUT STILL RELEVANT. I CAN'T STOP TALKING IN CAPS.

From:

:D When I'm a happy person that isn't pathetically dependent on fictional things, I will.;) I accidently watched the end of the Rage party scene once in fan vid. It was traumatizing.lol

From:

Yeah, I can't say that I don't know what you mean. How did you manage to avoid all of that, by the way? Spoilers? You knew what was going to happen in it anyway? I don't know what I'd have done if I knew ahead of time, lol.

From:

Well, I wasn't around when S2 came out. It's easy to skip all of that when you only have DVDs (you'd be shocked at the amount of episodes and scenes I never watched :D). And since I always had to wait for the DVDs, I always knew what was going to happen. I never really had the energy to avoid spoilers for months.:)

From:

Very true. I can't believe that you skip episodes and scenes though! I don't think that I could do that, lol. I tried to avoid spoilers but I totally sucked at it. Well, those were mostly filming ones. I always wanted to see the finished product. But, I can understand why you'd avoid them!

Im in the same boat as you I think I have only watched 220 Once or Maybe Twice and 3.01 and 3.02 are just too Painful Sad to watch infact some of the s3 eps up too 3.07 I will just happily skip to the B/J Bits rather than Listen to Ethan's Blah Blah Shit Lolz.

So Hugs and your not the only one...

From:

I'm actually glad to hear I'm not the only one. I always feel a little bad about not having watched all of the show although I love it very much, but I'm quite sure I'd feel worse if I had seen all of it.:) I've never watched 220. The beginning of S3 is fine for me - as long as I skip most of the Ethan parts.:D

From:

dani-blondy.livejournal.com

I have never watched all of 3.01 or 3.02 so Im guilty there heh :D

I can watch happily from 303-307 it's just Ethan DNW Evar Thank Yah.

The Fast Forward/Skip Button on a remote is a Magical Invention I have found Heh

From:

:) I think I watched all of them, once, probably because it's the first season I owned and I didn't know better.lol I'm also guilty of leaving out huge parts of S4 and S5...

The Fast Forward/Skip Button on a remote is a Magical Invention I have found Heh
It truly is! :D

Me too.. watching Brian sad is the most heartbreaking thing of the show.. and all because of his rules and being too proud to admit again how he felt (and Justin being the romantic blind that he was).. the end of season 2 is especially painful to watch but at the same time it's beautiful and with the hottest kiss of the whole series.. *g*

From:

I know! They both made mistakes there, big mistakes, but Brian's pain is so transparent. It's right there and Justin did leave him to hear what he wanted to hear. I mean, it's understandable. Justin wouldn't get what he wanted from Brian and it took an Ethan to realize that. I always end that hottest kiss right when they're on the floor and before Brian speaks. :) I'm sure they never talked about what Brian implied there. Wonder what happened, hmm.

You're amazing for rocking that cap project. Do you like, win at everything you have a go at? You do, don't lie to me.

From:

Hahaha, not even. I'm totally failbombing the recap project right now! The screencaps are distracting me, definitely. I'm just so close to finishing S2! Then it'll be on to S3 and finally to S4 and S5. I have no idea what happened in the latter seasons, lol. It'll be interesting to cap them to see what they were like.

From:

I still hide from these bunch of episodes.

From:

That is pretty much the way to do it! I'd like to pretend that we went from 215 to 308 right away.

From:

suzvoy.livejournal.com

I AM EXACTLY THE SAME, HAHAHA.

From:

Ow ow ow. My heart. :(

Also! *high-five* S3, here you come!

From:

It hurts so bad! Also in the diner when Brian just looks at Justin when he's introducing him to Ethan? I feel myself breaking into a million pieces. Brian looks away and he just looks so sad. There was a lot of sad!Brian up in here. How did we go from 215 to 216, right? I always think of that line from

suzvoy's fic to perk me up. When it's Justin's birthday again and everyone's telling Brian not to get him a hustler again and he's like, "Does everyone think I'm really going to do that again?" It gets me through these last episodes. ... yes, I force fic into canon to make me feel better, lol.

*high-five* SLOWLY APPROACHING THE FINISH LINE. THREE MORE SEASONS! Fewer episodes so it should be faster. I know I'm going to distract myself while looking at scenes that I don't remember anymore especially from S4 and S5.

From:

Sad!Brian still kills me ded. I have no defenses against that! One reason I give Justin big props, yo. He walked away from that little emo face and survived. Barely, but you know what I mean. God, all this is bringing back all these QAF memories. I've so gotta start my rewatch ASAP. Also, fic canon is sooo a credible bridge for tv canon, dude. All the cool kids do it! And, dammit, ain't nobody more cool that us, Aface. *firm nod*

Fewer episodes, sigh. Great for capping, bad for my heart, heh. We were so grateful we were getting new seasons at all, ANY number of eps, but maaaan. I was greedy then, I'm greedy now. :P S4/5 are gonna be a revelation, I betcha!

From:

Yes on the rewatch! You'll probably be all caught up by the time I do my 113 recap, haha. Well, you're right that no one be as cool as we so fic canon is totally relevant in every case available.

I know, right! When we got to S5, I love how Showtime just gave up on them. Should we let them do promo photos? No. Should we even shoot a real cover for the DVD? No. Should we even let them get a full season? No. Let's just take away one episode because they're not going to need it anyway. Oh yeah? I'm sure that this show would've made a little more sense with more than 14 episodes. It worked in S1 and S2! *shakes fist at Showtime*

From:

I dunno, I'm way slow. :P

SRSLY. The giving-up-on-them thing still upsets me like posse Justin. Way to drop the ball, SHO.

P.S. QAF Caps question! Is my browser is being 'tarded or are S1 eps 1-3 not there? I swear that page starts at ep 4. Help, help!

♥

From:

I put up a recap last night 'cause we were talking about it here! I got all inspired.

Emergency! You are having browser fail. :( Just checked it and everything's there. I command your browser to repair itself pronto.

♥

From:

Whoo! I have so many recaps to catch up on. *giddy*

Damn. Was afraid of that. Both FF and IE are refusing to play nice. I can't believe my browsers are homophobic. :( Maybe a reboot will help later on... anyway! Could I bother you for the direct links to the galleries for eps 1-3, Aface? Plz plz!

From:

Of course, bb! Anything for my Reeface.

Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3

Let me know if these direct links work!

From:

Aww, thank you, Aface. ♥

D'oh. They're asking for a password.

From:

You wait right there! I'll be right back. I will figure this out.

From:

From:

Omg. Those three albums were set to be viewed by me only. How bizarre! No more browser fail for you. Maintainer fail on my part. Thanks for letting me know! The three should be available for you to view now.

From:

*HIGH-FIVE* Thank you, bb!

Guh. Our boys.

From:

I was just imagining you cheering me on a la Justin S4 bike race.

There is so much love we have for them!

From:

THAT'S TOTALLY WHAT I WAS DOING OMG.

So much, so v. much. Like, I would take a metaphorical bat to the bed for them. alfdkjal. Best typo evah. I'm so leaving it. It is late and I can't stop laughing now alkdja.

From:

That was some regular braintwin action, that was.

I am still awake at this time. Mom couldn't sleep either so we stayed up to watch a Filipino movie about a bunch of brothers and sisters crying hysterically over their dead father with some drama and LULZ thrown in for good measure. Filipino movies? Like badfic!
