I adore this episode and have watched it many, many times. I could have done with the bit they CUT FROM THE FREAKING SCRIPT where Jim and Blair share a 'manly hug' after the rescue with Blair all groggy and scared; we had the hurt; I want my comfort, dammit.

Cut to Jim in the gym.

But... but... he's all sweaty and pumping iron and then topless! Come on; drool with me here :-)

The nipple ring, from the way Blair gestures, is on his left one, so it could be there; don't we see more of his right side in the Christine shots? It's not there in Iceman, but he'd have taken it off to put the Kevlar on, I guess.

I think what I'm saying here is that I believe in the ring :;claps hard::

It KIND OF seems like they were joking around about the nipple ring. But I really want to believe in it, too. You're right that we mainly see his right side in that scene. Still, I wonder why Blair was all feigning surprise that Jim knew about his nipple ring since he was open-shirted in front of him, like, two nights ago. Yet the implication that Jim has been sneaking looks at him naked is delightful.

Sorry, I forgot to stop to drool. :( I blame vidding. I gratuitously used that shot in my vid, so it was like it had already been done!

I think you could totally make a case for it being an ad-libbed joke by RB and GM playing off it ::pets them lovingly; oh, boys:: but I get off on the nipple ring and all the interesting smutty possibilities and after all IT'S CANON, BAYBEE. ::beams happily:;

The nipple ring exists. It does. It does.

"Hey, Jim. Last night when you said I did everything right, did you mean that?" HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ha. HAAAA.

ETA: HOW COULD THEY CUT A MANLY HUG

HOW

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

There should be a law, dammit!

You can read about it here:

http://community.livejournal.com/ts_talk/82920.html

and this is the hug bit:

Ellison, bleeding, takes another bead on Lash, seeing a sad, distant smile on the killer's face. Then Lash dies. Eyes and mouth open. Like his victims.

75 INT. SHRINE ROOM - MOMENTS LATER

Ellison, SNAPS Sandburg's chain shackles with a crowbar, freeing him. Sandburg staggers to his feet, laughing, crying, can't believe he's alive.

He gives Ellison a manly hug.

DISSOLVE TO:

76 INT. CASCADE P.D. - BULLPEN - DAY

THEY ACTUALLY SAY 'MANLY HUG'.

about that nipple ring...

this ought to make you all happy :)

i met a guy at Escapade who'd worked on the (goddamned awful) Demon Under Glass with GM. he actually asked GM if he had a nipple ring and GM said he'd had both nipples pierced. so that's where the ad lib came from.

which, to me, makes the nipple ring/s canon. ::nods:: yes sirree, Bob!

Re: about that nipple ring...

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

Oh man! That's so awesome!

That means we totally could have seen it if only he'd had them in and if only we'd gotten more bare-chest shots. *shakes fist at gods*

I know RB is shirtless roughly half the time... but still... NIPPLE RING. S. SSSSSSS.

Re: about that nipple ring...

[cross-stitchery.livejournal.com]

RB is obviously very comfortable about showing off his body (and why wouldn't he be?) but GM, not so much. such a waste.

can i say that i adore your icon? i know it's supposed to be fear on Blair's face, but he really looks like he's just had a particularly good orgasm :)

This post 's squee almost made me wet myself

And they wonder why some people are moved to write RPS. Man...

::is giggling. Lots::

Re: This post 's squee almost made me wet myself

[cross-stitchery.livejournal.com]

even though i'd never touch RPS with a barge pole (heh, phallic symbolism), i see your point. i think RB is a closet slasher.

not so sure about GM, tho. he had fun with the "commentary" at Return to Cascade, but i suspect he was just playing to his audience. plus he has just as dirty a mind as RB...

about that nipple ring...

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

This is strange; I *know* I posted a reply to this thread and my comment's completely disappeared. Whatever ghostly presence has stolen my coffee and my tea is now having a go at my LJ comment.

I can't remember what I said, now, either.

::insert something squeeful and witty and cool::

And in the meantime ::Homer Simpson voice:: Mmmmmm. Nipple rings... RB *looking* at nipple rings... heh heh heh. Well that's my year made. *G*

Re: about that nipple ring...

[cross-stitchery.livejournal.com]

you know, although i think nipple rings are incredibly hot, the thought of getting mine pierced is enough to make my cringe. ::shudders::
