riddering talks about Ted, addiction, and how very pretty Justin is when he is angry here. Really interesting insights. No spoilers beyond episode two.chase820 examines the plot arcs, holes, and successes of this episode here. Really, really, *really* thorough.All that anger and confusion at his mistreatment would have to manifest itself in some way. Brian's always been characterized as aggressive, emotionally distant, and vindictive as hell--I could totally see him beating the shit out of anyone who dared to cross him, in the years before he figured out that with enough power you can make people wish they were dead without ever laying a finger on them. In fact, if I were writing Brian, I'd give him a (now sealed) juvenile file with a few really colorful entries.
I'd pay money for this story. Cash. Right now.
Also, this entry is spoilered for up to episode two only.
westleyo talks here about the vigilante arc. Spoilers through entire arc, so if you're cherry, don't go.wrenlet discusses all the prettiness here. Spoilered for up to episode two only.valerie_z just amuses the hell out of me with the Little Justin Pain here. Spoiled for up to episode two only.mlheathen marvels on the Eyeliner, Justin, and all kinds of good things here. Small spoiler for later season plotline at the end of entry.beatperfume gets out early thoughts on the episode here, and also, falls for the Eyeliner of Hotness. This just makes me happy. No spoilers past episode two.*looks* Okay, did I miss any episode commentary? *hopeful* As I need more to procrastinate with, better to hide from that damned remix that will end up pretty much destroying my soul. Also, I didn't link to any locked entries.
Or something.

....or something.
svmadelyn is still running the Fannish Slumberparty Poll, so if you're interested in going, go make yourself heard. She also notes in her latest LJ entry....I am going to pimp this one or two more times, to get as wide a range of people as possible answering. Then we'll take two places and two months and run those off around Wednesday. A community will be created (I think I'm up to twelve communities. LJ breaking them down on userinfo was nicely helpful for me. I...like to organize things? is all I can say.)
Also. This is kind of cute.
Meme
Stolen from
gem225 and about a million people on my friendslist. Ah! I can procrastinate doing this!Invent a memory of me and post it in the comments. It can be anything you want, so long as it's something that's never happened. Then, if you like, post this to your journal and see what people would like to remember of you, only the universe failed to cooperate in making it happen so they had to make it up instead.

You and me both. Someone write it, please?
This making up memories is a lot of fun.
Hm... memories of Jenn
Second Smallville author I discovered (after Te), and absolute favorite. in 'Weird Coincidence' arena; Jenn has same name as favorite author in 'Farscape' fandom.
shit
*snerk*
*hides*
I, too, would pay cash for just such a story about a wild teenage Brian. I'd even write it, if I didn't have
*grins* Also, fixed. At least I did the paste correctly.
I'd even write it, if I didn't have mustangsally_78 threatening me with death if I don't step away from the Brian. *Sigh*
*blank horror*
STEP AWAY FROM BRIAN?
Don't you need, like, twelve step programs to accomplish that? VERY high failure rate, I hear.
*sidles up*
Come on. One little fic. Just one. It'll make you *feel* good. Trust me.
*reads sentence*
Dear God, I sound like a dealer. I mean, moreso than usual.
Trust me, there is no stepping away from the Brian. He never stops whispering in my ear these days. Which sounds like fun, but it isn't--not when you're trying to inhabit another ficverse and he keeps hanging around all shirtless and seductive and distracting.
*Sigh*
Man, I couldn't believe the way you were puffing and shrieking, not in pain but in your vainglorious attempt to be the first to deliver. I don't blame you, of course - the millions of dollars in cash, prizes, and full-body massages given by Tom Welling were certainly incentive enough - but I have to admit, I was a little put out when you began plucking apples out of the large fruit basket next to your bed and winging them across the room directly at my head.
The thing that most surprised me was and is your fantastic aim.
Anyway, we all know how things turned out - you did, in fact, deliver your child first. You squeezed the little guy out, then sprang up off the table and did one or two or six victory laps around the room before grabbing the baby and doing a one-armed back handspring out of our room and into the maternity ward, singing the national anthem of Chile as you went.
Your resilience continues to be an inspiration to me.
Yeah, I remember all that too. Good times, Jenn. Good times.
*nostalgic*
I'm glad the way things turned out, even with our bus breaking down and our luggage getting stolen. Who'd of thought a couple of ex-cheerleaders would have to go native and fend for themselves in Egypt, of all places? I guess that's the way you make memories, though, by being forced off the tour bus and into the real world.
I'm glad that when I'm an old granny, I'll be able to tell stories about the time my friend Jenn almost got me killed and how we escaped by belly-dancing for a group of mercenaries.
And then Michael seemed so happy to help Gale him get off again. Erm... excuse me. I meant get the pants off again. Yes. He's such a giver.
Yeah, so... that was just a great day. *g*
