my ideal first date : we watch my top 5 favorite community episodes and i quote every single line. I pause every 5 seconds to explain a reference or to point out how a small detail actually shed an important light on a characters development up to this point and in the later seasons. I pause the episode for 30 minutes to explain the entirely of the season 3 plotline. After basic human anatomy i explain how "season 4 isnt really that bad" and trobed as a ship and central relationship in the show, adn in addition the emphasis the show puts on queerness both in characters and plotlines and how the time period contributed to that. Also everytime Abed says a line I say how hes just like me fr.

“Before we start out first activity, we have a new activity to get the show going!” Heechul introduces into the camera after the staff pushed all the desks to the sides of the wall, making room for everyone. “Let’s start by having Seventeen and Eunoia give us a little demo of their newest song!” Your group stepped towards the camera in the middle of the set and got into position and the music started. You dancing in unison and harmony as everyone else behind clapped and sang along. After your little demo, you stepped back and allowed the boy band to dance when you accidentally stepped on someone’s shoe, falling back to a firm grip on your shoulders.

“Careful. Your outfit looks really nice by the way” A soft voice whispered. You looked up and saw Minghao as he lightly squeezed your shoulders before helping you stand back up before quickly joining his members. Looking down, you felt your cheeks warm as you shook your head, telling yourself this is not the time. As music played, the boys started dancing, every single move in sync and leveled as your members watched them in awe. After their dance they walked back as the cast step forward to introduce the first game. Minghao walked towards you with a soft smile and stood beside you, your arms brushing against each other as you looked to your left and saw Wonwoo standing on the other side.

“So we did a little research on everyone. Don’t worry, we didn’t stalk you or anything, but just enough for this game. Since Seventeen and Eunoia are really close to each other, we’ll be splitting the everyone into two teams. Each team will have 2 minutes to answer each question correctly where they have to point to the right member with the corresponding member. The team with the most points wins!” Sangmin explains as everyone starts getting assigned into groups. Scanning your teammates, you saw that Minghao was in your group as you gave him a thumbs up. Wonwoo was on the opposing team where he was chatting with this team. You team was up first where everyone sat in a semi circle with the opposing standing on the side, waiting.

“Okay 3,2,1 start! Who is the most quietest member in Eunoia?” Seungkwan reads the cards as your team looked at each other, deciding on who to pick. “3,2,1, point!” all fingers pointed towards you, including the cast members and boys who were on your team and sadly, yourself also. You lets out a shy giggle as Seungkwan reads the next statement. “Who is the fashionista in Seventeen?” you let out a soft chuckle as your eyes met Minghao where a blush forms across his cheeks. “3,2,1, point!” majority of the fingers pointed at Minghao with a few towards another member, making your team lose the point. Your eyes gazed over and saw Wonwoo, back leaning against the wall with his arms fold across his chest and a straight face as he looked at you before he turns away, knowing you caught him looking. Not thinking much of it, you focused back on the game and finished with 7 points. Giving your teammates a high-five before switching spots with the opposing team. You walked past Wonwoo as he looked down at you and you stuck out your tongue, threatening him as he rolled his eyes.

“Okay ready? Which member cannot eat seafood?” Nari reads as everyone in the team hummed. “3,2,1, point!” Everyone pointed at Wonwoo as he nodded, shrugging his shoulders. “Which member can’t stand or do aegyo?” You tried guessing along as well. “3,2,1, point!” Everyone pointed at Wonwoo. “Close one, but it’s Woozi!” she read off the card.

“I’m practically on the same level as him. I guess I have more tolerance” Wonwoo explained as everyone chuckled. Finished off the game with with 6 points, your team taking the win. You spend the rest of the recording, loosened up and laughed along with others, making jokes here and there as your worries and tension in the beginning fades away.

“Now we can’t finish this without a random dance play right?” Ho-Dong yells as everyone cheered. “The rules for this game is simple, if you know the dance, step forwards and dance. You can dance to any song but your own! To get a point, you’ll have to try capturing the camera’s attention and get the right moves!” He started doing some weird dance move as you burst into laughter as your eyes looked forward and saw Wonwoo smiling ask well. The lights in the set started to dim as colorful lights started flashing, swirling around the walls and floor as music started playing. The first song played as you stayed behind where some of your members along with Seventeens stepped forwards and started dancing to the music. You lightly jumped up and down, singing along to the music when you caught someone looking in your direction. Wonwoo quickly dodged your eyes but you knew he was looking in your way. The next song played as your mind immediately registered the music and stepped out, allowing the music take over your body as they danced to the music. A few of the boys stepped out as well, trying to win the point but the camera started following you, as you scored a point for your team. One of Seventeen’s song started planning as you ran to the middle, remembering how many times you’ve dance to this song. You executed every move as everyone behind cheered you on. You turned around, realizing that none your members stood forward. You shyly ran back to your members, hiding your face behind your member’s back as everyone praised your dancing.

“Wow I didn’t know Y/N could dance so well to our songs!” Hoshi smiled as the boys nodded in agreement. 

“Wow, I’m impressed! You would’ve fit perfectly into Seventeen as the 14th member!” Heechul joked as everyone laughed

“Did you practice a lot?” Soo-Geun asks

“Not really. I watch performances and I just end up learning what catches my eye.” You explain

“Did any of the Seventeen members teach you?” you eyes glanced at Minghao who lightly smiles.

“U-Uh, Minghao helps me time to time.” You confessed as the boys looked at Minghao with surprised faces

“We’ve known each other since we were trainees.” Minghao clarifies as the cast members nodded in amusement. 

“Thank you Eunoia and Seventeen for appearing on this weekly’s special epsiode of Knowing Brothers! See you all next week!” Everyone waved goodbye towards the camera as the director thanked everyone for their hardwork. You let out a sigh as you sat down on one of the desks on set, trying to catch your breath from the endless recording. You noticed that fans entered the set as they all screamed at the sight of Seventeen and your group. the room started getting crowded as staff cleaned up, cast members chattered and fans trying to get closer and catch your attention. You saw footsteps approaching you as you looked up and to your surprise, Wonwoo was standing in front of you, handing you a drink.

“Hurry my hand is getting tired.” He was back to his usual self.

“No one told you to be nice anyways.” You scoffed and grabbed the bottle of water, chugging it as Wonwoo quietly watched you as he sipped his drink. You bent down to place the empty bottle on the floor but was stopped by Wonwoo who held you by your shoulders. You looked up at him with your eyes wide open as he took off his jacket, placing it over your chest in front of you.

“What’s that for?” You replied with slight annoyance but his expression soften for a second

“Who decided to give you such a low top to wear?” You heard him mumbled. Right before you where about to question him, he walked away, ruffling his hair as you clenched his jacket on your chest, confused yet warmed by his actions.

Haven DVD Commentaries: 4.08 - Crush

Commentary with Speed Weed (yes, that is actually his name), writer for the episode and Shernold Edwards, writer for the next episode

[As we see Duke burying Wade] SW: “This was the very first day of filming for this episode and I thought Eric just knocked this out of the park.” They really dug a hole in the ground for Eric to roll a dummy into. The location is near their production office in Chester.

Both commentators agree on the cuteness/adorableness of Emma Lahana as Jennifer.

SW talks about the deleted scene of Nathan and Audrey waking up together; it’s on the DVD, it’s also online. “Since 4.07 ended with them jumping into each other’s arms we wanted to open with that, but it got cut basically for length. Because of the big emotional scene at the end of the episode (which also takes places in Audrey’s apartment), we wanted to have space for that to breathe.” SE: “Don’t be upset about that though fans, because I try to throw in them making out wherever I possibly can.”

[As Duke is telling Jennifer in the Herald that he’s leaving town] SW: “I just love what Eric did here. He’s an actor who when you push his character to the edge he really performs well. We get him to this place where because he’s killed his brother he decides he should leave town, and I just love this moment of performance. And actors tell me that when you’re acting against someone who’s really solid it makes it all the more special, and to have Emma on the other side of it was great.”

[As Duke first sees the effects of the pressure Trouble in the road] SW: “We had originally scripted that the effects of this pressure Trouble were to be seen as an advancing sea-green wave. For a variety of reasons we decided not to do it that was but that mean production had to make all of these things implode because of the growing pressure .. and just hats off to the production team who created all these things with a pressure differential and got them to crush like that.” SE: “In case you haven’t figured it out already, Speed’s the science guy.” SE: “It’s true. I spend about 10 years writing science magazine articles for Discover Magazine, National Geographic, popular science.” And as this is the first commentary he’s ever done he just wants to take the opportunity to say “Speed Weed is my name; Weed is my family last name, and Speed is not my legal name but is a nickname my parents gave me the day I was born. I’ve had it my entire life and I’ve never used any other name.”

[As we see the decompression chamber that Duke and Jack put Vince and Dave into] SW: “So they built that. [*surprise from Shernold*] Our fantastic art department headed by Jennifer Stewart built that out of metal and wood and cardboard and it looks so good and so real. And they did it in a way that you can shoot the inside and the outside.” SE: “It looks really good! They even dirtied up the windows.” It was set up at a location called North West Cove, and is about 300 yards from the Grey Gull [the location in reality that is, not in the story].

[As we see Duke argue with Audrey and Nathan on their way to speak to Vince and Dave outside the compression chamber] SW: “This is one of my favourite scenes in this episode because I love it when you get your main characters hot at each other. And they are really hot here and they have reason to be. The challenge as we designed these epsiodes is to make sure that things are grounded and real and people have real emotional core as to why they feel the way they feel and argue the way they argue. By the way the light up there is phemnomenal. This scene was at sun set and the light was gorgeous.

They have a selection of questions soliticted via Twitter and pick one out of a hat; “I’d love to know the reactions of some of the actors when they learned what their characters were doing next.” SW: “This is a really good question, but the truth is the actors read the scripts when they get them; alone at their houses or in their trailers. And I would love to be a fly on the brain, if you will, to know what their first thoughts are. Because they are the people who inhabit these characters and it’s our job to make sure that we take them in interesting and suprising directions and yet ones that are also emotionally grounded. And we have actors that care about their characters and they push back on us if they don’t feel that what they’re doing is justified…. And they’re fiercely protective of their characters in a really great way. So I wish I could answer that first moment of what they feel like when they react.” And he talks about the process of shooting, about how for the 7 days they’re shooting one episode they will also be prepping the next one - and so that’s the point where actors get to talk to the writers and make any comments. “And more often than not it’s just a case of having a conversation and coming to an understanding. On this particular episode I don’t remember any reactions other than, ‘That’s great!’”

Another question from Twitter; “How long had William’s existence been plotted?” SW: “So, we had never imagined that whoever created the Troubles acted alone. So in a sense, William has been around for a very long time. I will say that the specificity of William came about in the very early stages of our designing season 4 (which would have been January 2013 when I first joined the show).

They both talk about the actor playing Aiden (lead on a Canadian show called The Listener that Shernold worked on) and what a good job he did and how he had no prep; they only got to talk to him once he was on set in costume already. And about what a great job the director for the episode did, how he is great at bringing out performances from the actors.

The horseshoe crabs with human eyes that Jennifer sees where built by the production team using a real horseshoe crab carapace (which curiously enough are all over the place in Maine but don’t exist in Nova Scotia, so they had to buy one from afar). And they painted human eyes on it and mounted it on a little remote control car.

Another Twitter question; “Since you were new to writing for Haven last season, what did it take to up to speed with the series?” SW: “This is my first genre show. Prior to writing for this, I wrote for police procedurals and political shows largely, and this is my first sci-fi/fantasy show and I have to say I’m so excited that this is the show I landed in on because if I’d landed on a zombie show or a vampire show or something like that, you have maybe five rules that you have to follow. This show tests you so hard as an intelligent human being because every week we reinvent the wheel. We invent the rules of the day. And so to answer the question, it took me a long time. And the writing staff here was incredibly welcoming to a guy who didn’t have a lot of genre experience. Honestly, in this room a lot of pitches start something like this; ‘Do you remember in the third reel of the second resident evil movie….?’ and I’m totally lost with that kind of thing. I look around the table and everyone else is nodding like they know exactly what’s going on and I have no clue whatsoever. But it’s such a warm and familial room… and I guess the nice thing is that you can make up your rules with every episode. So we were very specific with the pressure rules of this and we spent a long time on the paranoia rules of episode 4.09.”

SE: “What is Duke doing with that flip phone? You know he wants to press some buttons.” SW: “Duke only has like, steampunk phones.”

[As Duke and Nathan argue after talking with Jack] SW: “Oh here comes the punch, I’m so excited for this punch.” SE: “He is so good looking.” SW: “We have actors who largely do their own stunts. There!” SE: “Oooh that was good!” SW: “Yep. And so the way they do that is, they will shoot two versions of that. They will go full speed to the moment where the fist hits the face, and they freeze. And as they freeze, the AD calls make up and make up runs in and puts the blood on Duke’s fist and Nathan’s chin and they continue through the action. And then in post you marry it together so you have a full sweep of the fist going through.” SE: “How often do they forget to pull the punch though? Do they smack him for real?” SW: “Well, on that they were perfect. He moved his fist really fast, and stopped it immediately as he touched Lucas Bryant’s chin. They’re good at that..” [As Duke pulls up in the van with the deep sea diving equipment inside] SW: “There’s a moment here I wanted to shout out to about Eric Balfour’s physicality … Oh here it is, so I hope this ends up on the blooper reel; in one take, as Duke got out of this Dominion Diving van - we’re at the top of a giant hill in Lunenberg here - he forgot to put the parking brake on and the van started rolling downhill and honestly all of us thought that this van was going to go 200 feet vertically downhill and kill someone. And Eric Balfour god bless him, got in that van and stopped it in a way I don’t think any other actor could have.” SW: “OK so the suits; these are real, deep sea, pressure diving suits. They were provided to us by a deep sea salvage company near Halifax called Dominion Diving. It was part of our agreement that we got to use their van and show their name in the take. So for most of this, unless you can see the actor’s face, these are actually the Dominion Diving guys walking in their own suits. And they are really heavy suits because they’re meant to be used under water where they’re neutrally boyant, but on land … All I can tell you is Eric and Lucas spent the better part of a day in those suits and if they put them on for 10 minutes they were sweating like hell. And the same is true of Emily and god bless her because she did a great job and she had a baby just a few months before and she was totally game getting in these suits and doing all this stuff and it was very physically challenging.”

Another Twitter question; “Since it was the same day from one episode to the next (8 and 9) how much time is spent discussing the transition?” SE: “We have to plan that, we have  to make it realistic. And I thought it was particularly clever with these two episodes because there’s the drama of the shot going off in 8 and then rolled it back in 9 to see what actually happened… So yes, to answer the question we do plan - hopefully effectively - between transitions like this.” SW: “It is very tempting in these shows to not have a nighttime and a session of sleep pass. And there are differing opinions (both in this writers’ room and writers’ rooms in general) to not slow down the drama by having a day pass. One feeling is that you have to be true to reality; you can’t have a 26 hour daylight day. The other feeling is; most people don’t notice. And in the tension between those two; you get what you get. It’s a great question because it means that people are really paying attention.” [As Duke and Nathan get their helmets off] SW: “You can see here how sweaty these guys are and in this take they haven’t had the suits on for very long; they’re just super heavy. And those guys loved that. They had so much fun in those suits; it was such a departure for them.”

SE [About Duke]: He is /so/ good looking. I guess we know which team I’m on. Actually, I am neither waffle nor pancake, I am team Shuke because if Duke was real character there would be no competition. He would be like ‘Shernold, where’ve you been all my life?’ And I would be like, ‘I’m right here, what took you so long?’” SW: “Have you told Eric that?” SE: “It’s Duke. Not Eric. Eric and I have a friendship that’s based on professionalism and respect and fun. But if there was a Duke-Duke, like a /real/ Duke...” [As we see Jennifer inside the Rouge] SW: “Oh here it comes … this scene. Duke’s changed his mind. So as this is being shot [Duke kissing Jennifer] I’m sitting about where the kitchen is and this was really hot. I’ll just say it; it was hot. These two had a chemistry for sure.” SE: “And she is adorable.”

[As we see Audrey and Nathan in her apartment] SE: “I can’t say enough about how great these two are in this scene.The truth is our actors love - they’ve have fun with the suits and all that, but when they get to do what we call a two-hander and just play the emotion (especially something that’s built up over three seasons) and dig deep into how their characters feel about each other, I do think I’m not speaking out of turn when I say that this is one of their favourite things to do. And it seemed like this, they treated it like a short play, and they get to run it through without stopping. And I think that’s when we see them at their best.” SW: “There were lot of questions about this scene from the Twitterverse and someone asked a very smart question about how the actors prepped for that scene.” So this conversation where they are coming to the decision that maybe Audrey should shoot Nathan, is cut into three or four scenes in the edit, but on the day they shot it through all in one go. “And I really want to take my hat off to the director and to Emily and Lucas, because, we live in a world where supernatural things don’t happen …” SE: “That we know of.” SW: “... people don’t have to shoot their one true love in order to end supernatural Troubles. And yet for this scene to work, it has to be real and grounded, and you have to decide that the greater good and the best thing is that you have to kill your one true love. And they (the actors) knew that’s a tall order; it’s not easy. And they took this so seriously. And I was so affected watching this. And we didn’t do a huge amount of sizes because we knew we wanted to be close in this - by that I mean how close is the camera on the actors. If I remember correctly the director was thinking that they might want to break them up and shoot them bit by bit,” so that Emily could do multiple takes at the emotional level 1, then move to the next level for multiple takes, then stay at the final level for multiple takes, “but god bless her Emily decided to do the whole rise and the whole arc of it time after time, take after take. And I can’t really answer the question because when they were at home two days before this I don’t know how they prepared for it. But I do know that when they showed up on set that day they were ready. Both for the lovey-dovey scene at the beginning of the episode [which was shot directly before this] and for the awfulness of this scene at the end of the episode. The emotional difficulty of it.” SE: “And I would gues that these two - they’re such terrific friends too and their families are close everything - would pick up the phone and talk to each other about it, or that they would get on set and just be in the moment.”

[As Duke, Jennifer, Vince and Dave are talking at the bottom of the steps outside the Gull] SE: “Quick point of local interest; John Dunsworth who plays Dave, you can almost see it in that shot of Duke, his family owns like a hundred acres of coastal land right next to the Grey Gull. And at lunch on this day, he took me to his private dock and out on a boat ride around the cove and it was one of my most memorable experiences from my time up there I really enjoyed it.” SE: “He’s so much fun.”
