I never really thought about Chris after the bashing,I always think of that beautiful BJ moment that was ruined

I doubt that, since Brian only used one hand and the bat does weight a lot.

I always thought he "just" hurt him.

I don't know, I could be making confusion, maybe with fics, but aren't we said that Chris had to quit football because of that injury? So even if Brian didn't actually break his knee, he still made serious damage.

I always wanted to see how it worked out. You know? Who called 911 - since I doubt Brians cell had any reception in the garage.
And who showed up the next? Did he cry "HELP" or what... you know?

I always assumed it's Brian that called 911, we don't know if there wasn't any reception. But I've always been interested in that kind of thing too, to know how things went, what happened when the ambulance arrived, if Daphne got there, what happened when everybody went to the hospital. I guess that's material for gapfillers

there are a few around.

I guess the writers didn't focus on details like that

WildRose · 07-07-2010, 08:45 PM

it was a wise decision,IMO. I didn't care much for Chris,anyway. it's so heartbreaking just to watch Brian there,alone,with Michael by his side.

I think on the show it was perfect like this, with the scene going from Brian on Justin to the scene in the hospital. But I do have some curiosity about how things went in that garage.

galesgirl645 · 07-08-2010, 10:02 AM

It was definitely more important to focus on Brian and Justin and what going on with them.

WildRose · 07-08-2010, 11:04 AM

I agree with Claudia. that image of Justin ,wounded and than Brian looking so lost, with that scarf in his hands is so strong that it doesn't really matter how they got to the hospital or what happend to Chris.
