I wanted to make an avatar out of it, but the screencaps are PNG images (Ivan's are JPEG files) and although these are better quality pictures (colorwise) I can only cut and resize them in Paint. But it seems like Photobucket doesn't upload bitmap images... The quality has got nothing to do with png vs. jpg. The quality's curtsy of this nifty little box I bought that let's me record directly to my Mac. I didn't want to use the onlinerecorder files. They're not good enough. There you are, a jpg: Sorry the unsubbed clip took so long today to upload. Hopefully the subbed (uploading right now) will be faster. Now that I've got the time to do it, I will count how many different insulting words Axel used for "girlfriend" today.

If Axel keeps on punching Fabian, then there's a good possibility of him becoming one of my favorite characters.

Did Axel like teleport across the street while Judith and Fabian were kissing? That was kind of creepy. My German failed in the comment Olli made to Axel in the beginning when Axel asked if Fabian was jealous after he stormed out. Help?? In other news, Axel's a fucking mess. Now he's Christian's self-appointed protector & beating up little boys? Fabian makes me want to smack him. SOOOO stupid! Gregor, baby!

For some reason I wasn't able to translate that line. Nanna, what are you still doing up?? It must be so late there. Thanks for the translation of that line. Wow, I just can't get over Fabian's idiotic move at the gym. Obviously Axel didn't punch him hard enough to make Fabian think that running into a room full of men who could kick his ass without breaking a sweat was not a good idea.

Finding this mancrush that Axel seems to have for Christian a bit weird - it's not like Christian seems to be encouraging his friendship at all. Okay - my british let's cheer the underdog mentality is starting to kick in for Fabian now. I am genuinely starting to feel a bit disturbed at the level of dislike "comments" I'm seeing on the YT boards for this guy - God help the actor if he ever reads them - he's not THAT bad looking - certainly better looking than me. I agree that he's not handling the situation terribly well - but put yourself in his shoesI seriously doubt there would be many of us who were tolerant enough to allow our boyf/girlf to "appear" to the rest of the world as being someone else's other half. Especially if we were not very close to whoever that other person / couple were and bear in mind Fabian has no real ties with C&O. How many of you would take a punch in the guts and say nothing eh?I so agree with you... I imagined Fabian with Constantin's face (vivid imagination at work here) and then tried to determine if my reaction would have been the same wrt the situation. It would not. I would not have condoned Constantin-faced Fabian's behaviour, but I'd more readily have attempted to understand it.

I wouldn't run to the gym where the guy who just punched me was and proclaim something that would likely cause a repeat of that, plus piss off my SO. What did Fabian last in this bearding scheme, like 3 days? Come on! I wouldn't be less pissed if it was Constantin cause stupid is stupid to me no matter if the face is pretty or not to my liking. (hey, Deniz Öztürk!!) Nobody involved was happy with the situation and everyone was suffering in some way but Fabian queened out at almost every possible moment about it and if Mr. Neverfreaksout can keep his cool, then what's Fabian's excuse? I'd probably feel more sympathetic to Fabian if he didn't make it seem like he was the only one suffering in the bearding scheme. I totally understand where he's coming from but he's behaving like a punk about it.

But would you not be so angry at having been physically abused that you'd want to speak to your other half about it ASAP? Wouldn't you want to believe that your other half loved you that much that if they realised you were being attacked because of something they were asking you to do they might put a stop to it? And that's worth being physically abused in the process? Fabian had no choice in agreeing to it - he was basically railroaded into it - remember that J/F have been together as a couple for less time than C&O and how difficult a time they had in actually getting together - how long did it take Judith to decide!! - and now she says, btw, we can't be seen to be a couple in public for the forseeable future cos I want to appear to be a couple with my gay roomate. Excuse? Maybe he just isn't confident whether Judith really loves him - that WAS a big part of their getting together storylineI'm not saying he couldn't have handled it better - he has been whiny and immature on some levels - but I also think he has reasonable grounds to be acting the way he has. It could easily be seen by a young immature guy with selfconfidence issues that his girlfriend is putting her friendship with another guy before her relationship with him. I'm not saying that is right or wrong but I do wonder if some of the reaction to his reaction is being just as intolerant as Fabian himself.

I'm not saying that is right or wrong but I do wonder if some of the reaction to his reaction is being just as intolerant as Fabian himself. Would I want to speak to my SO about being attacked by some lughead? Sure... BUT if the SO happened to be in the same place as the person who just attacked me, and this person was up in my face again threatening me after they just attacked me, I wouldn't blurt out something likely to incite that person to more violence against me. You may disagree with me but I thought that was just stupid of Fabian. He'd have done better to take Judith to some quiet area in the gym to tell her what just happened or taken her over by Chrisitan and told both of them what just happened with Axel, but instead he blurts it out to the person who just attacked him and was threatening him again. And I am not intolerant of Fabian. Through the whole "I love Judith" debacle, she annoyed me more than anyone else with her waffling. At first I wanted her to pick Constantin but then I thought he was better off without her waffling between him and Fabian. Anyhoo, I think Fabian's behaved very immaturely and has made it seem likes he's the only one put upon by the situation. I understand him not liking it -hell, none of them do - and being insecure but in every situation where his emotions come to a head with what is the better/wiser thing to do and what will make the situation worse, he seems to choose the latter just about every time. Like I said, I understand where Fabian's coming from, I just think he is constantly making stupid decisions in this situation. And at this point, it's like a domino effect.

I hope Roddieb doesn't short out his keyboard when he sees this one. Ha! No problem - if Roddieb doesn't short out his keyboard, that's okay. I've got THAT area covered. *whew*

I do rather agree with Bonobochick to some extent here.
Fabian is clearly jockeying for a Darwin Award here. There is something mildly endearing about his suicidal willingness to assert his status as Judith's real boyfriend to a steroid-using professional boxer with a blatant mancrush on Judith's purported boyfriend. However, it demonstrates that he apparently isn't carrying good genes for either intelligence or common sense, thus leading me to think that Judith might want to reconsider her long-term prospects with him. Because I'm really not sure he should be allowed to cheat nature and breed.
Also, this whole conspiracy isn't all that inconvenient for him compared to what Olli has to put up with! So he needs to refrain from kissing his girlfriend in public? So does every man living in a Muslim country! It's annoying but not life-threatening, at least in the way that seeking trouble with 'roid raging pro boxers is. Would it hurt to play along for a little while? Especially since he could probably negotiate plenty of guilt sex from Judith for his trouble?
Fabian obviously isn't the brightest star in the galaxy.

Axel standing behind Judith and Fabian. Really, really creepy. If someone ever stands that close staring that intensely, I really hope I notice. And Axel, boxing buddy? Um...ok. That's not creepy either. Hmm. I can see both sides Sheepie and B-chick. And I do feel quite bad for the actor, with what everyone says about him. I'm not comfortable when people criticize his looks. With the character of Fabian, however, my real problem isn't how he feels about the situation, or even the questionable decisions he makes. It's the petulance. Christian occasionally pouts but he gets over it pretty quickly. Whereas with Fabian it almost seems to be the norm. At least when any problem arises.

And why have both Axel and Roman over on AWZ started dressing in 70s upholstery?

And why have both Axel and Roman over on AWZ started dressing in 70s upholstery? I'll have to check the Deutsche Welle site. Maybe some construction site uncovered a buried cache of fabric supplies for Holiday Inn corp from 1972 and they got turned into "hip" fashions. At least it's a sign that Germany is moving beyond flamingo pink. Three cheers for nanna & tihkon and all the love they share with us!

I have sympathy for Fabian's situation. But I do think he seems a bit passive aggressive on the whole subject. He should have called Judith out, told her about the beating and then given her an ultimatum, that he is not longer going to go with this. Because I think the beard brigade at least deserved a fair warning before he exposes them.

At best, it was a feeble ploy, a stop-gap measure.
Only Olli and Gregor seem to be ok with it. At the least, it shows that Judith is a true friend---because only a real friend could possibly put up with this nonsense. And only a complete idiot would believe it.
I'm still trying to figure out what that look on Christian's face at the end means---angry at Fabian? Pissed-off that he has to deal with this situation in the first place...or just angry that he's caught in a lie or seemingly. Probably the latter. We all know how much he hates deception of any kind.

Hello!! I'm back, been missing so much actions over here. Anyway, I was LOL-ing away when Axel said boxing buddies are true friends. If they are, why is he even antagonizing Christian anyway? And it seems to me, Axel looks like he's getting a little too friendly with Christian. And I almost wanted to slap Fabian. He so STUPID!! But hey, every drama needs to have a stupid character and Fabian is so filling this vacancy.

Thanks Nanna and Tihkon of course! That screencap of Chris is awesome, but these ones are beautiful too, IMO: Olli (and Roddieb ;D) forgive me, but I've found Chris particularly hot in this episode!!! Maybe the black tank top helps! But I don't forget my little bear cub, of course: ;D And what about the interviewer? Am I the only one who thinks he's cute?

I try not to clown on the actor's/the character's looks. He's not attractive to me but that's not my focus when I talking about why I want someone to smack Fabian. And I agree with you, J9, that the petulance is annoying. Like I said, as hot as I find Igor, I want someone to beat the shit out of Deniz (on AWZ) constantly, so it's not about looks for me, it's about a character's behavior and actions. I'm not so shallow that I will let a pretty boy get away with being an asshole or a brat just because of his looks. I am not 16 anymore. Hot to me or not, IMO if a character acts like a douchebag, I am going to say it.
