Why did Justin say in the pilot episode that Brian said “I love you” during his orgasm? Was this a mistake?

A. Not a mistake. Brian did say it and it was explained later. Don’t you remember when __________.

B. Not a mistake. Brian did say it and had probably said it during orgasm before. He gave no meaning to the words and this is not in character conflict and/or storyline conflict with the following episodes and seasons.

C. Mistake. The pilot writers didn’t have a solid grasp on the characters or the direction a series would take if the pilot was picked up. Because it is in direct conflict with the actual character and storyline, assume Brian never said it and move on.

D. Not a mistake and yet Brian did NOT say it either. It was something Justin simply imagined.

E. During the pilot, Justin never told Daphne that Brian said “I love you”… you should probably have your medications adjusted and/or give up the pipe.


I think it's the third, but really have wanted to discuss this issue since I first watched the show. I wasn't sure whether I should post it in the coffeeclub or not, so I opted for my journal.

I attempted a poll, but didn't work after 3 tries, so am just posting it for comments.

Justin just said it to Daphne out of teenaged bravado/exaggeration/wishful thinking and to make it more... exciting. Didn't happen, no conflict.

I never thought Brian said it. The first time I saw Justin say that, I was incredibly amused and absolutely had no thought in my mind he was being truthful. He was totally full of that kind of BS in the beginning.

In 108, he says in front of Brian and his parents, "He never said he loved me."

Yeah, so from now on, I'll come straight to you with questions because that makes perfect sense!

I once read a drabble (maybe a ficlet?) from Brian's POV that explained it away perfectly. I'm sorry, I don't remember who wrote it or where I read it or even when... but I liked it and remember it because I thought it really did explain why Brian said "I love you" that first time.

What Brian meant to say was "I love fucking you" or "I love your ass" but it just didn't come out that way because deep down some part of him already knew he'd met the love of his life. A few years down the road Justin calls him on it and Brian doesn't say anything at first, but then he says something like "that was the fucking writing on the wall" and it's still as close as he'll get (at that point at least) to admitting that he loves Justin.

You could totally have posted this at [info]qaf_coffeeclub

Oh I'm pretty sure Brian didn't say it. That was just Justin. He was full of bluster in season one...I loved it. hee

I think he was bragging to Daphne and in his mind, at the time, it was love. ;)

Okay, since I have discussed very little with anyone, I'm going to start posting in coffeeclub. I have many similar thoughts and questions.
