Yay!

So......I don't know if anyone has brought this up yet but:

My favorite moment of Season 3 is after Ethan's "friend" showed up at Ethan's apartment and Justin is tearing apart the roses and:

"Look how may times you forgave Brian!"

"I never forgave Brian! I never had to, because he never promised me anything! You did."

When I first saw it, those were the words that popped into my head and I hoped that Justin would have used them.

I was so emotionally wrecked after that scene. My heart went out to Justin and, for some reason, Brian.

Come on - They're one of the best couples ever paired!

I love that moment too, even though it's sad for Justin because it's the end of all those dreams he had in his head, about perfect love and words and romanticism. But it was definitely important and meaningful, I loved to see that Justin realized that in spite of all of his flaws, Brian was always honest with him. It's an acknwoledgment on Justin's part that is very important, just as the one in the office, when he says Brian went on loving him even after he was gone.

it was a wake up call for Justin since he realized that words don't mean anything if they are just words, actions are what count.

And even though Brian never vocally promised him anything, Justin went into this "relationship" with Brian without expecting much. It was mostly about actions the whole time and promises just weren't needed. You can even see him realizing that when he tells Ethan that. He just has this look on his face then.

galesgirl645

yeah like he was having an epiphany

Manu9

it definitely was a wake up call. Not only on the fact Ethan wasn't trustable and love is not just words, but also on the fact perfect love doesn't exist. A relationship takes lots of work and things get rough sometimes.

galesgirl645

yeah and in the end it's ultimately worth it

Manu9

Absolutely a love that is true is worth some work

did anybody else get the impression Stockwell was gonna hit on Brian or something in the hot tub, when instead he just tells him he's scared? I swear each time I watch that scene I expect him to hit on him, even though I know he doesn't

galesgirl645

wasn't there an animation of that scene where they had funny captions about stockwell coming out? I know I saw it

Manu9

yes, it's in the gag reel

galesgirl645

that was funny

Aikaterini

It was an actual video though. The sound editors just added different audio snippets into that video.

But yes, it sure seemed a bit like Stockwell wanting to hit on Brian there. I mean, why else would he suddenly go and ask him to join him in the hot tub?!

galesgirl645

they could've made Stockwell a closeted gay that would've made for an interesting storyline.

Manu9

or they could have just had Brian make him gay he sure is hot enough

galesgirl645

I don't think Brian would've gone for that he has standards
