Do Justin, Lindsay or Michael - Brian's friends - get him at all?

9.5

By jellyfruit, Dec 05, 2010

This was very painful to watch, because none of the characters really seem to understand Brian as much as they could. As usual, it was Brian who organised everyone so that the wedding could go ahead. This was what Melanie and Lindsay really wanted and Brian made sure they got to be married. He also ensured that all the characters could participate in the nuptials, each in their own way. He really wanted to be there, hence he donated the tickets to Florida as a wedding present. He ensured that they had the rings they wanted. Brian to the rescue again! How did the other characters react? By declining his gift of attending the wedding and of the tickets and telling him that he really should go off and have sex with as many men as possible - "you know that's what you want". Do they really not get him at all? All Justin had to do was say he wanted Brian to stay for the wedding too, and Brian would have stayed. Instead, the final scene is Brian dancing by himself in Florida, totally missing out on the family occasion.

I found this episode very distressing - because none of his friends get him at all.moreless

The episode starts out at a lesbian club, which is playing a song i really like called Rebel Girl, by the band Bikini Kill. I thought i was the only person who still listened to them! Anyway, they run into the psychic Mysterious Marylin, who tells them something about Mercury is not not in favor of them and get married this weekend would be bad. Apparently it would be chaotic because of miscommunication and imbalance, and it just wouldn't work. However, she tells them sometime in June they will redecorate their dining room in Aqua and Maroon and it will be fabulous. I thought that was funny. Not believing in all this mumbo jumbo, the girls decide they are going to go through with it anyway. However, when everything starts going wrong from the personalized rings getting lost, Linze's dress getting ruined, the caterer canceling and so on, Linze has two panic attacks in the process. The scene where the girls are arguing in a sweet tone about whether or not they could fit everyone at their house was hilarious. Linze calls off the wedding and thinks the planets and everything going wrong is a sign that they shouldn't get married because they are lesbians. Mel shows up in tears to tell Brian. Brian saves the day when he gets everyone to help out and make sure these girls get married, before he leaves to go to the White party. He and all the friends save the day and the girls can get married after all. I thought the woman who married them was funny when she said they could seal the deal with a little suck face. So Brian wins the trip to Miami and is excited. He tells the girls he's not going to be at their wedding which the protest at first, but after he explains what his behavior would be like they tell him to have a nice trip. He decides to take Justin who breaks the news to the girls that he's going too. Deb tries to pick at Justin's conscious and get him to at least stay. Justin tells Brian he's staying. Brian tries to give the two tickets to Miami to Mel and Linze for their honeymoon with an earlier flight, and says he'll watch Gus. Linze says no that it wouldn't be right for Brian to be trapped here instead of out doing what makes him happy, and she said she wanted him to go, so he did. When the girls tossed to boquet at the end, Brian caught one at the White party. A sign? In the meantime Mike and Ted are looking for a present to give the girls for their wedding. Mike thinks it should be something romantic, so he thinks of getting them something sexy to wear like a teddy. Ted thinks they should get power tools. Ted gives Mike five hundred bucks to pick something out. Mike gets cornered by some peddler on the corner who sells him some African Art thing that is hideous, and Mike blows all the money on it. Ted is angry when he finds out and the two fight, up until the wedding. After the ceremony the boys make up. I swear Michael is so stupid sometimes, i wonder what goes through his head. On the other hand Emmett decides he wants plastic surgery to have some work done to his butt. George tries to talk him out of it. Emmett goes to the doctor and even gets a live show of models showing what kind of butt he can get. Emmett later decides he'd rather spend his butt fund to help Mel and Linze's wedding. Lita was in this episode too, bringing the ruined dress to Linze and at the club. We've been seeing a lot more of her lately. It seems like she's friends with both the girls now. Anyway, this was a great episode as usual.moreless

Mel and Linds get married... but not without a few, or a lot, of bumps along the way.

By luv4brian, Jul 04, 2007

I love this episode. i think it's really fun and exciting. Everyone chips in to help Mel and Linds' day be perfect, even if Mercury is in retrograde. While having a raffle at Woody's, Brian wins a trip for two to Miami, but it just so happens that it's right over Melanie and Lindsay's wedding. He invites Justin along, although he turns him down later saying that he'd rather be at the wedding. Everything is going wrong with the party planning, so Brian makes sure that everything is takken care of for them. He assigns everyone to their own personal job, while he basically does nothing. In the end everything goes perfectly. A very light-hearted episode, but none-the-less, very fun.moreless

Don't get me wrong, I love that Lindsay and Melanie got married, but it was kind of boring.

6.3

By rewindyourtime, Apr 08, 2007

What really bothered me about this episode was what Lindsay said to Brian when he tried to give her and Melanie his plane tickets to Miami. She told him that his attempt at sentimentality was fake and didn't suit him. I find this to be really discouraging and counterproductive to the development of Brian's character. From the series, I've interpreted that Brian has put up this barrier around him to try to prove to everyone that he does everything for himself, and he doesn't care what others think. But his actions in every season disprove this. Brian does care, and he does love others.

That is why I despise this part of Lindsay's character because she always advises Brian against acting for anyone but himself. She does it again in season 5 when she learns of Brian's marriage proposal to Justin. She says something like, 'That's not the Brian Kinney I know, sacrificing himself for others...' I just really hate the way she discourages him, and for thinking him incapable of expressing sentiment and love. Because Brian can do it and he wants to do it. He never does anything he doesn't want to.moreless

- Brian: Think... you don't really want me there, do you? I'd have to be chemically dependent just to show up. I'll be drunk, I'll be bored, not to mention better looking than the brides. I'll offend all the dykes, I'll heckle the ceremony, table dance at the reception, and inevitably fuck every good-looking guy - gay, straight, or undecided - in the place. Finally, I'll pass out, naked, bitching about the cheap booze. You'll lose your dignity, your friends, and your shirts paying for the damages. Hell, I'm doing you a favor getting out of town.

  Lindsay: You're not even trying to make this work!
  Melanie: And you're not even trying to make sense!
  Lindsay: There's no need to be abusive!

  Leda: Cleaning's here!!! Yours, Mel (hands Melanie her suit). And... (takes out shredded dress)...what was yours, Linz. Apparently the dry cleaning solution was too...

  Leda: But the good news is they give you a hundred dollars worth of coupons!
  Lindsay: (weakly) Hooray.
