I think we both need to be on that list :lol:

^ We are now on the list. :read: :fist_bump:

Aw, the Hunter brothers are great! Rider Strong and Matthew Lawrence being cast as brothers is my idea of fangirl heaven. :melt: :abduct: :angel: Do you think they ever talked about the fact that they both had brothers who were also in the business? :)

Hurray for us! :fist_bump:

hahaha well then well done casting department! And it's possible ;)

^ Huzzah! :party: :cheers: :lol:

Indeed. Thank you, casting department, for giving me not one but two Hunters to fangirl over. :thumbs_up: :clap: :in_love: :slinkie: :in_love: :yay: It's probably my own imagination, but I have this feeling that they wanted to be just like their older brothers...so they followed them into the world of acting. :sailboat: Oh, what I wouldn't give to find out about some of their off-screen interactions. :pinkie: :thud:

Like "Hey, you thought you were obsessing enough with one Hunter brother? Check this out..."

^ That is EXACTLY what I think the casting department's goal was by casting Matthew as Jack. Talk about the yummy gauge hitting red-hot with the Hunter brothers with that decision. :slinkie: :hotpinkie: :slinkie: :thud:

Just dropped that guy on us, sat back and laughed like 'dance, puppets, dance!'

^ They definitely knew what they were doing. :melt:

How often do you think these guys check in with one another? Phone calls once a week? Biweekly e-mails? Dinners once a month? :)

I don't know, I mean where does Jack live usually?

^ Not a clue! :lol: There wasn't exactly a wealth of information in his one appearance on Girl Meets World. :pout: :thud: I would think that he's in New York so that he can be close to Shawn and his family...but that's just my headcanon. :read: :thumbs_up:

I will accept it, not that there's another option;)

^ There is always two sides to my speculations. :evil_lol: Jack could be living in...:idea: Los Angeles, and he could drop by New York once every...:idea: two months to check in with Shawn. :snail: :shrug: I like my first headcanon better though. It gives me more scenarios where Shawn and Jack see each other. :slinkie: :in_love: :slinkie: :thumbs_up:

Well we always need those... always, always...

^ The more scenarios with the Hunter brothers I can imagine, the happier I am...even if almost all of them are my headcanon. :idea: :blah: :read: :yay: They had a different dynamic compared to Eric and Cory, and it was fun to watch them try to make up for all of the years that they lost out on by not growing up together. :snail: :in_love:

I happen to like headcanon, it shoots out amazing things :D

^ Indeed it does. I always seem to come up with inspiration at the oddest times. Then when I'm replying to threads, I forget what those scenes were. :blank: :thud: :lol: At some point, I'm going to have to write down some of my headcanons. :read: :thumbs_up: ;)

Do you think Jack ever introduced Shawn to his mom? :good_bad: :)

We need to get you a wee notebook and pen to keep next to your... posting implement ;)

Awww I hope so :)

^ That's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that? :facepalm: :thud: ;) Once I re-start my re-watch and I get to season five, I'm sure that those headcanons are just going to spring to my mind. :idea: :in_love: :blah: :read: :yay:

I think so too. I just hope they were civil towards one another. :fingers_crossed: It would definitely make for peaceful family gatherings if they all got along with one another. :group_hug: :love: :hippie:

I think they would definitely be civil, Shawn's not the type to just confront people for no reason & from what we've heard about Jack's mom, she seemed like a nice lady - she did raise a real gentleman after all ;)

Having said that, there would definitely be some tension. Shawn has his issues with his father, but he really doesn't like when other people think badly of him - & we know that Chet was abusive to Jack's mom, so I bet she really wouldn't have a high opinion of him.....plus, Shawn would probably resent Jack's family a little bit because things seemed to work out so well for them. It would definitely be complicated.

Good, you keep those notes Rocky ;)

Yeah they both have so much baggage to factor in :(

^ Oh, yes. I'm an excellent note-taker. :read: :thumbs_up:

That's true. :no: I'm just glad that they reunited when they did so that they could help each other deal with the baggage. :high_five:


I think so too. I think there might have been some tension between them because they saw Chet in different ways, but I like to think that that tension would have lessened with more time they spent together. I'm sure they at least tried to be civil so that Jack wouldn't be caught in the middle. :cool:

It's such a complicated sort of relationship :thud:

^ Oh, how I wish we could have seen the complicated relationship. If Boy Meets World had been a drama, then you just know that TPTB would have expanded on Jack and Shawn's relationship. :no: :thud:

Oh we would have gotten so much more then :nod:
