and I'm not going to torture myself watching the last half of the season

Manu9 · 08-05-2009, 06:05 AM

I always watch the last part of S2. It's sad and I alternatively want to cry or kill Brian/Justin, but I still like it.

**Aikaterini** · 08-05-2009, 12:06 PM

I just can't watch it that often, because I cry easily. And no matter how often I have seen it, it always gets to me to see Brian suffering from all this. No matter how often he acts as if he doesn't care, you can pretty much see how much he hurts and I just want to hug him and tell him that it will be okay - and then wait for him to yell at me.

Manu9 · 08-05-2009, 02:01 PM

his suffering definitely gets to me too, infact I often want to get into the screen and knock some sense into Justin

but I still like it, there are some beautiful scenes. To name one, I really like the scene where Brian still welcomes Justin in his bed, even though he knows about the cheating at that point and I think he also knows he's lost him already.

**galesgirl645** · 08-05-2009, 02:18 PM

yeah that scene shows just how much he really loves him

Manu9 · 08-06-2009, 10:02 AM

not only that, but also the fact that he's willing to forgive Justin's mistake, if that's what Justin wants.

**galesgirl645** · 08-06-2009, 01:59 PM

that is what true love is all about, being able to forgive the mistakes that the other person makes sure it takes time to rebuild the relationship but if you're willing to make it work that is what counts.

**Aikaterini** · 08-06-2009, 02:54 PM

But you could still see how much it hurt him to do that. The way he was all silent and just his expression and everything. I think it took a lot for him to do that.

**galesgirl645** · 08-06-2009, 03:11 PM

he knew that the end was coming soon

**Aikaterini** · 08-06-2009, 03:59 PM

*coughs* I know that there are J/E shippers in the QaF fandom, but I will never understand that pairing. No offense to those fans. It's just me not being able to grasp it.

**galesgirl645** · 08-06-2009, 04:24 PM

you aren't the only one

B/J all the way

Manu9 · 08-07-2009, 03:15 AM

I've never liked J/E either. Not just because I love Brian and BJ, but also because I've never liked Ethan, not even in the beginning, when according to some people in the fandom he was written as a good guy. I don't know, maybe I'm too assolute, but a guy that willingly and knowingly puts himself between a couple isn't someone I like

but of course the main reason why I never liked J/E is because I never felt like their relationship was based on something solid, just on dreams and words. And the wrong conviction on Justin's part that he could get over Brian.

I know. The end of season 2 is full of moments when you can see how hard the whole thing is being on Brian. One scene that always makes me sad is the one where Justin, Brian and Michael are in the comic shop and then Justin leaves and Brian looks at the door. His face just says it all about his feelings. And I love that Michael realizes it and hugs him and tells him he loves him.

Lashunda · 08-07-2009, 07:21 AM

I don't think there was a better couple than B/J on this show. B/E was never an option for me & I always was suspicious of Ethan.

As for that J/M hugging pic, I remember seeing it on the show, I just don't remember where. Guess I'll be watching season 2 again.

**galesgirl645** · 08-07-2009, 02:11 PM

Ethan shouldn't have put himself in the middle of the B/J's relationship if he wanted something with Justin he should've waited until Justin decided to leave Brian which Justin shouldn't have done but he was being young and inexperienced and being seduced by cheap words.

Manu9 · 08-07-2009, 02:50 PM

I think Ethan knew Justin would have never left Brian if not pushed.
