I loved the Trey/Ryan ending from the bus ....(which I totally remember them shooting because we were all wondering why there were 3 greyhound buses parked by the main entrance which was where it was filmed)

He was so hot this episode! I love that we got a shirtless scene!

As a season opener I thought it was lame, but there were alot of aspects of the episode that I enjoyed. I liked the stuff with Sandy/Seth/Ryan that really drove it home that they were family first and formost.

Ben did a great job in all his scenes, but I really loved his little ad-lib on the beach with that funny voice. I cracked up.

Shirtless Ben was very nice indeed. He's so beautiful.

I must be drinking the kool-aide because dammit if I didn't see chemistry between Ben and Misha and thought those kissing scenes were hot.

What I wouldn't give to have Ben pressed up against me like he was with Misha, lol.

He looked really hot in this eppie. Love the shorter hair. Looks like he's been working out this summer, too.

S.A.S.H.A. · 09-09-2005, 11:27 PM

Ah, yes. Those shirtless scenes were to die for.
