post here about how fans claim to know Brian better than Cowlip. I didn't want to completely hi-jack her post with my comments, so I'll continue here.
I was thinking about this when I ran out for lunch today. It seems to me that most people's issues with Brian in Season 5 is the complete 180 he seemed to do and the lack of explanation given for it. Now, as BB said, that I completely agree with, Brian is Cowlip's creation and they can do whatever they want with him. But to me, what Brian did (the whole marriage/"I love you" thing) was completely in character. Just think for a minute - Brian is a very extreme kind of person, it's all or nothing with him. There is no gray area, it's black or white, yes or no. So when he finally came to his senses and realized that he really did love Justin (like we all knew), he was going to have Justin. To him, that meant marriage and all that stuff. Cos that's all he knew. Even if he didn't "believe" in it, that's how he knew to commit to someone.
I think that's all for now. I have to go to rehearsal and torment our director so I'll be back later tonight. Bye!
