I always come when I say I will.

Telson - take it off - bleh! You have a beautiful body

Brian - I know

And we see Brian actually think about something other than work and tells Telson to go home to his family - you start to see what he's like deep down inside.

Telson - how can you think about sex when your daughter is hurt? What kind of father is he?

Michael praising the Coca Cola was hilarious.


But Brian always makes it look so appealing.

And calling the lobby to get a cab for Telson and leaving was the best Brian could do.. I think he couldn't look at him in the mirror longer and pretend to be not himslef..

This moment was very pronounced for me.

We often imagine what Brian's youth was like. He had to climb the ropes to be the "top" stud of Liberty Ave. But, he was only 14 when he became sexually active.

I'm sure he fell prey to many, many sleazes when he was a teen.

So, this scene breaks my heart. I actually see him as the child and not the Brian Kinney that's got power, money, and control.

you're so funny - there are times they make the backroom at Babylon look appealing too but I bet it wouldn't be really


Michael trying to get it on with Dr David - eewww

a horny one?

I think Brian's first time was sexual abuse. A grown man with a 14 year old is definitely abuse.

A terrible one

Brian walks out of the room naked - imagine that walking down a hotel corridor Woah!

Brian came close to doing it this time, but sadly I believe he's had to prostitute himself many times to make certain advancements for himself and his agency. Brian's moral really stepped in this time, and it said "Nope".

Eww...Michael tries to go down on David in the car.

Yes. You and I discussed that with the scene I can't divulge or I'd spoil.

Beyond the first encounter I just feel he got into a lot more scrapes when he was still too young to know better. Him stripping for Marvin just makes me think of what he was doing in his teens.

You are right.. that sure brought up memories..

and when he came to Lindsey, he just wanted to forget.. the way he said no when she asked him if he had eaten he looked kind of lost there.. and he found comfort in holding Gus .. maybe thinking I never will let anything happen to you that I experienced..

fmaldy24

It's certainly illegal and wrong and the power dynamic is terrible and inappropriate - should never have happened.


Michael trying to find a trick cause he gets his feelings hurt - wonder if he ever told Dr David about that when he goes to see him again?


Oh Brian falling asleep with Gus is so beautiful

I think that is the only time we ever see Michael active in the backroom..
