season one and always love starting the series over, the very first time I see a Q-Mart scene I'm always like UGH.

This again.

Are you starting over again?

I'm Brian Kinney, FFS! · 09-19-2018, 01:48 PM

Yes, this is my fourth time through. BUT - this time I'm forcing myself not to binge it. No more than one episode per day.

I thought about taking a hiatus before starting the series over again, but it made me so sad that I said to hell with it.

My love for it hasn't degraded yet, and I don't see it happening any time soon.

You found me...

Yeah, I was up super late that night, kinda sick, and I was like F it, this will make me feel better.

Any amount of time spent in retail, or restaurant work, will scar you for life.

Nothing wrong with watching again if it makes you happy. It has been about 2 months since I watched the whole thing through ~ I’ve just been rewatching my fave scenes and storylines. I think I’m going to do another run through of the whole thing.

From 101, there is one line that has always bothered me. We didn’t know her at the time, but I don’t think it fits Jennifer’s character. When B and J are in the shower, Justin says “my mom says that sometimes she wishes she’d never had me.” I can imagine Justin’s dad saying that, but not Jennifer. I just love Justin’s innocence here with the “I like Cheerios better” and “I’m a top and a bottom”.....

I'm Brian Kinney, FFS! · 09-19-2018, 08:11 PM

Agreed, if it makes you happy, do it.

That's great that you're still watching your favorite parts, and another runthrough would be awesome.

Y'know, I just watched the pilot again and that part bothers me too! I like Brian's response though I can't remember it verbatim to quote it. And I don't even think Craig would've said that before he knew he was gay, honestly. -shrug-

You know what I think you are right about Craig~ I was probably thinking of a-hole Craig that shows up later. It’s always such a great feeling to start it over, isn’t it? Did you have any other new insights about the pilot? Every time I start it over I always think wow! Justin was such a baby

Why don't I remember that?

I wonder if Justin really meant it, as in it was true or if he was just being a brat. Because I can't see his mother saying that. Weird.

I love that Justin tries to lie to Brian. He's all like oh yeah I've done this before, totally. Honey, you ain't fooling anyone.

Yeah, he seemed like a pretty supportive dad in the beginning. It is sooo nice to start over again.

It's like such a relief, the story doesn't have to ever end.

And I loooove the contrast and seeing how different and what babies everyone was in the beginning! Wow, and it makes the first moments between Brian and Justin that much more special, knowing how it all ends up.

The first time Brian lifted him up on the dancefloor I was like awwwwww, he's gonna ask you to marry him one day!

Soooo watch it right now, then.

He says it in Brian's shower. He might've been making it up, hmm.

And HA. Yeah, like Brian was going to believe that.

That was unnecessary

Oh and I'M the bad influence?

Hmm I'll look out for that when I watch it again.

Brian knew from the moment he saw him that he was such a fresh young thing

Yes, so true. It makes it that more endearing.

Even though, we are on the season 1 thread, and we don't really know what happened yet.

Lol. You want feels, otherwise you'd be a robot.

Yessssss.

With a little help of the persuasion of a friend who did the same...
