doyleI got the DVD of Teachers series 3. Well, I skipped labs to get it, and when Tesco didn't have it I dispatched ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
connorbeast downtown to buy it. And now it's in my grubby mitts and I love it so.
There's a whole episode devoted to Kurt and Brian's relationship, and trouble kicking off when they get a Christmas card addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. McKenna". The fact that everyone treats them as a married couple doesn't seem to phase either of them - Brian's just puzzled as to why he's being called Kurt's wife rather than his husband. Simon tactlessly points out that Brian does everything for Kurt and "if he *was* your husband you'd have grounds to divorce him for emotional abuse." "I'd never divorce Kurt," Brian says, hurt, but once he starts to think about it he realizes Kurt does take him for granted, and breaks up with him. (He words this as "our relationship hasn't been working for some time".) And everybody calls it a break-up. And Kurt views this as exactly the same situation as Bob's wife walking out on him. And they hold hands across the canteen table when Brian's decided he's made a mistake and is trying to get back together. And squee, for they are the slashiest couple of all time.

ship_manifesto is going to be about 10,000 words long, isn't it...

Re: Joining in K/B squeeage
on 2004-11-04 05:30 am (UTC)Aw! They're not fooling anyone.
My theory is they faked their own deaths.
Yep. Maybe they think they accidently killed Matt and are now on the run in Hull.
My season 3 DVD skipped two chapters of the episode I was talking about - what's Kurt looking for when he ransacks his room? The key-chain? My DVD skips from that to Brian in the gym.
Off the top of my head between those two scenes are...
K+B flat -
Kurt searching in his room for the key chain.
Kurt and Brian 'not talking' in the morning - whilst arguing through Simon.
Kurt at a bus stop and later a bus, failing to remember the name of the school or where it is.
Staff room -
Kurt gloating that Brian's been driving to school the wrong way for three years.
Exam cover is handed out - Penny/Matt and Brian/Kurt.
Corridor -
Matt/Penny awkward conversation. Kurt swaps with Penny, then has enthusiatic and very friendly conversation with Matt with Brian looking on in the background.
Hall -
Matt/Kurt in the exam hall with Kurt trying to get Matt to play daft games with him.
...I think that's it.
Re: Joining in K/B squeeage
on 2004-11-04 05:55 am (UTC)I love the second or third episode in that season, when Kurt's giving up smoking and goes on the date with one of the kid's mothers: Brian just seems so quietly sad. "There's always your winning smile" and "you lot have got someone to come home to". And in episode 12 (I think), Clare's double take at seeing Brian without Kurt. "You're here but... he's not? Extraordinary."
