don't you just love that scene at Woody's when he tells Justin what happened?

Manu9

That's when Justin tells him he was kicked out of school, right? I love that scene. Brian is saying it's over now that they guy killed himself, but Justin, with his "sometimes you have to [sacrifice everything] for what you believe in", pushes him to do what he'll do later.

WildRose

it's such a great scene. it says so much about them. I belive Justin's conviction and actions were major influence on Brian when he decsided to stand up to Stockwell.

Manu9

I think so too. It came from inside him but I think Justin had a big role in making Brian's "inner goodness" come out.

WildRose

um, I think it's inate goodness

but,yeah, I belive he was thinking about it before,but seeing Justin so focused on fighting for what he belived in,with the posters and everything,it influenced him,too.

Manu9

Sorry, it seems I'm all a typo lately

I admire and respect Justin for fighting for what he believes in, instead of choosing the easiest way out and just thinking about staying in school.

that's one of the things I love about Justin, he does what he believes in

WildRose

I guess that's what Brian loved about him,right from the start

I love how he stood up to the school board.

Manu9

I love when he apologizes to the school board, it's evident he's not sorry at all

And the way he describes what happened with Brian to the principal cracks me up "Mr. Kinney and I had personal relationship prior to my internship at Vanguard so it's not like I was ****ing the boss"

WildRose

no wonder that principal needed a glass of water

galesgirl645

Unapologetic to the max

WildRose

I so love that side of Justin. I like the fact we got to see much more of it in the second half of S3

Manu9

He was very strong and determing in the second part of S3. I like to believe that being back with Brian, having finally realized what he really wants and acted on it, was part of the reason why.

WildRose

definitely

their relationship were much more balanced after the reunion.he knew Brian is the person who really loved him,and that he doesn't have to be someone he's not. he was an equal partner in the relationship,and I think that helped too. plus we all know Justin was never afraid to stand up and say what's on his mind,but since he regained his old self confidence and presistance it was easier for him

Manu9

I think there was a moment when he was kinda afraid to stand up for himself in S2. I think Season 1 Justin, or S3/4/5, would have told Brian he wasn't happy with how things were going between them. He would asked for what he needed, instead of searching for it somewhere else.
