I'd forgotten about them needing a ride to and from Babylon. bawahaaaaaaaaaa

It's nice to be young and have a memory....

No coherent thoughts from me. I might like to stop right here and just remember that beautiful face of Brian's when he is looking at Justin. And then when he pulls out the drawer.

Okay I loved these episodes and I think i did a little AWWWWWWW...everytime Gus spoke or smiled. And Brian and Justin...Holy Fucking Hell! the pulling of the drawer!!!! <3 Um...I enjoyed the Connor/Justin sex to, i have a thing about muscled arms holding tight around chests :x But ofcourse the B/J sex was "a thousand no a million times more" better ;)

hahaha. i love how you're still expecting continuity and logic from cowlip. you're so funny. ;)

also, JR is the dumbest nickname ever.

and, yeah, the melodrama is so over the top, but i still love it all. i wish cowlip would give the lesbians and ted some halfway decent storylines for a change, though. seriously, the lesbian cheating melodrama is SO LAST SEASON, if not SO FOUR SEASONS AGO. lame.

i still loved the episodes, even if i sat there wanting to strangle michael EVERY FREAKING SECOND. what a queen! and why is ben backing him up? gr.

However, I think it's fitting that Brian would buy it....claiming his turf, reinforcing his personal lifestyle and personal choices. And as he states during his little speech to Ted from above on the catwalk, he's standing steadfast to his personal queer beliefs, just as one would say Ben and Michael and even Mel and Linds believe in being couples with the home and kids. Brian might make sarcastic remarks, but he never trys to dissuade his friends from the lifestyle they want. But he wants them to return in kind to him. Shirls

I'm already wishing I was watching a DVD, so I could ff past all of Melanie and Lindsay's scenes. I really don't like Mel.

I liked these episodes too, Quinn.

I especially liked the big bright smile that was all over Brian's face when Justin first walked in to the loft. Even though Brian was with a trick, you could tell that he was thrilled to have his 'Sunshine' back.

And the empty drawer. Woah.

I agree with pretty much everything mentioned already concerning Brian and Justin, but what I though was especially remarkable these two episodes is how the writers made a valiant effort to include all perspectives and, excuse the cliche, "walks of life" concerning the true nature of family.

Yes, they allowed Michael (with the ever-supportive jargon of the Professor) to rant and rave how he will never allow nor agree to his daugther growing up in a family with separated parents for most of episode one. However with not only Melanie's opinion, but huge input from his mother and Brian on more than one occassion, the entire idea of what constitues a family was rehashed once again. And, that was beautiful to see. There were only two specific biological ties amongst the gang (the two being Debbie and Michael and Brian and Gus) until the end of last season, which added to the controversial question "What is a family?" and the parental rights storyline involving Melanie, Lindsay, and Michael, I believe, is only the beginning to a much-needed storyline. This questions the very friendships and relationships of the gang, a a chosen family and allows not only the show, but the audience as well to question whether one is "better" than the other, or if it really doesn't matter.

Obviously, compromises should be made (considering children and long-lasting relationships and friendships are on the line), but, in my opinion, Michael is breaking his promise to the girls. He clearly didn't think this through prior to his commitment, whereas Melanie and Lindsay had, as evidence lies in their (or moreso Melanie's) demand for a contractory agreement. The girls only agreed and, more importantly, trusted Michael enough to never pull this off.

And, yet, he did.
