Franklin & Bash - 2.09 (Waiting On A Friend)

BEST! EPISODE! EVER!! Okay, all coherency has gone out the window this week because they gave us sooooo much in one episode it got kind of scary at one point. This morning I was irrationally angry because despite my best efforts I still had massive technology fail and the episode took over three hours to download. However, tonight I am one happy, happy fangirl!


Things I loved:

~ Jared shot Peter with a t-shirt canon - three seconds into the episode and I'm already laughing my arse off.
~ Damien getting shot with the t-shirt canon and squealing like a girl - to quote the man himself, 'Awesome'...
~ Playing 'count the hotties in bed with Stanton' is my new favourite game (and he's still doing nothing to prevent my inappropriate crush)!
~ Baby Peter and Jared! Set to 'Word Up'! SQUEE!!
~ Jared wants them to get matching tattoos and Peter suggests they each get one half of a whole image? Come on, you're killing me here!
~ There is a polygraph machine. In. The. Mancave! This is basically fic happening on screen and made me clap like a seal.
~ OMG, Tammy is played by Daisy from Bones?!
~ Seriously? How does Breckin manage to have chemistry with an OREO?!
~ LAW SCHOOL FLASHBACK!! I have no words... Pindar the player, Peter and Jared with long hair. Oh, good lord...
~ Peter, I'm pretty sure that Jared didn't say anything about you going down on yourselves. Although... no, as you were!
~ Another canon example of Peter being a bit free and easy with his nakedness around Jared - how I love you, Peter Bash!
~ 2007 hair! OMG, I love that they made an effort to make them all look different, even though it was only five years ago. I love that Jared's hair is different colour because it suggests time spent dying it. No, I have no idea why this makes me as happy as it does.
~ I love that Carmen stole Jared's watch and Peter's wallet, right after they'd won her case. Carmen is just awesome in this episode.
~ Carmen giving them permission to ogle naked women... [loves]
~ Peter being totally unable to come up with an appropriate word for 'breast' in the face of a hot Roller Derby girl.
~ Peter and Jared being held in contempt just two days after they passed the bar!
~ The fight in the cells - with Peter in a kangaroo outfit!
~ JARED'S FIRST NAME IS ACTUALLY ELMO?!?! SERIOUSLY?!?! I HAVE NO... JUST... [DIES]
~ Oh, holy cow, Breckin kissing is just the most incredible thing ever. EVER! I may have watched that bit more than a few times...
~ Damien's almost-apology for nearly losing their case is adorable. And he absolutely wanted to get ice cream with them; he just didn't know how to accept graciously.
~ Go Stanton, you're awesome!
~ OMFG CASUAL JARED NEARLY KILLED ME!! The casual shirt and waistcoat, the jeans, the braces... Oh, fuck me!
~ Could their smiles have been any more adorable at the end? And they played 'Word Up' again! [loves]
~ They started going to the diner and posing stupid scenarios to each other when they were just ten? Okay F&B writers, you officially killed me... [is dead]


Things I was less happy about:

~ I know that they were trying to go against viewer expectations, blah, blah, blah, but I really didn't like Peter being smaller than Jared when they were ten. It fucks with my already fucked-up head!canon - Jared has ALWAYS been smaller, end of...
~ Okay, Breckin's long hair should have looked better than that. It's not like they didn't have any decent source material to work from - he had long hair for about seven years! That wig made him look soooo old...
~ Yeah, their timeline now makes even less sense. Don't even get me started...


Here, have ALL THE QUOTES:

PINDAR: I need someone to ask me a yes or no question.
JARED: What are you doing?
PINDAR: I have my interview with Taflinger tomorrow.
PETER: You're not going to be polygraphed.
JARED: Where did you get this?
PINDAR: My parents polygraphed me regularly. All Indian parents do. At least, that's what they said. Ask me a question.
JARED: Okay. Are you a complete idiot?
PINDAR: No. [machine goes haywire] Ask me another one.
PETER: Do you have an erection right now?
PINDAR: [looks sheepish and turns off machine]
JARED: Pindy!

DAMIEN: Anyone who represents himself...
PETER: Yeah I know, has a fool as a client.
JARED: Doesn't apply to us, we were fools to begin with.
DAMIEN: That's true. Good luck!

JARED: Remember Spring Break junior year? You passed out and woke up naked on a raft in the pool in front of the whole hotel?
PETER: Yeah. What does that have to do with...?
JARED: You walked around without any clothes on the rest of Spring Break 'cause you said everyone had already seen everything anyhow.
PETER: 'Cause I didn't have an expectation of privacy any more.
JARED: Right, we find a time when Tammy let her freak flag fly boob-wise...
PETER: Tattoo's admissible.
JARED: Boom goes the dynamite!

JARED: Roller Derby girl versus figure skater...
PETER: Roller Derby girl. No question. They're totally badass!

CARMEN: Okay, I have seen you two get excited by the Land O'Lakes butter girl.
JARED: Have you seen how short her skirt is on the label, Carmen?
CARMEN: There are actual naked women in here. I'm giving you permission. Take a minute. Enjoy yourself.
PETER: This is work, Carmen.
JARED: Choosing not to objectify these women, these hardworking women... Hel-lo!
CORINA: Hi, I'm Corina.
JARED: Yeah you are.
PETER: Dude, I'm totally giraffing.
CARMEN: Aaand, they're back.

PETER: I never doubted us for a minute.
JARED: I feel like ice cream.
PETER: You look like ice cream.


Yeah, basically this episode killed me in a variety of new and interesting ways. Right now I have so much love for this show it's kind of crazy...
