I agree with you both. There were so many situations where Brian showed his unconditional support of his friends and tried to make their lives better without them knowing.
There's a movie that I can watch again and again (7 Pounds), where the main character says to another, "You are a good person, even when no one is watching". That to me, is Brian. He shows this cold at times, uncaring exterior...that's what other expect of him. He doesn't need anyone to say he's a wonderful person. He doesn't do good things because he wants anything. He does good things when its the right thing to do. Does that make sense? Sia: One rule that works for season discussions is: we can always "go down", not up. Just in case someone hasn't seen the later season, we wouldn't want to spoil. But it is great to stay on topic. Thank you for noticing. __________________

Brian literally was ALWAYS helping everybody, though he never wanted to be seen as the hero. He did his good deeds in such a quiet way that nobody would ever suspect, except for the ones (Like Debbie or Justin... sometimes Michael) who know him excruciatingly well to not buy his bravado. I cannot list on my two hands alone all of the things he's helped his friends with, which is why I do not get it when some people call him one of the most hated characters, or say that he was a bad person just because he was brutally honest. Though, I guess that's why they're called opinions: Everybody has 'em.

When he grabbed Justin's arm in the office and said 'that is so like you, you don't hear what you want so you leave'. To me that means he is saying to him - you don't hear the words I love you so you leave but that doesn't mean they aren't there or I don't feel something different for you. I mean he had asked Justin to stay with him in the loft - he never would've considered that before Justin. I think Justin thinks about that and he comes back to the office and says you should take me back and he knows what to expect from both of them now |

It was really sad that his friends saw him in such distorted way. The scene in the office is beautiful, with lot of innuendos in their speech. And yes, Justin understood during their breakup that Brian really loves him and that only he expresses his love differently than most people. |

You're right - Brian is very mature in some ways - I think with the way he sees himself as a gay man and his lifestyle from that and how he forgives his friends time and again (especially Michael from the first episode where he says such horrible things about Justin). I think I would've found it very hard to forgive him and Brian goes to him! He's amazing like that. I think Brian's immaturity or difficulties is with his emotions from his family upbringing. And like mentioned he has difficulties because his friends don't want to see the changes and emotional maturity he is coming to over the years. |

Justin managed to challenge Brian.. he had to accept that he has a mind of his own, but he never gave up on getting what he wanted..
