in all seriousness, i would have paid money to see that smug look fall off jonas' face "the morning after" when he notices that bree just plaid him for a fool.
first, hes all acting married to her with "oh we made out and now we're soulmates and i understand bree's true nature and you dont" and then hes like "oh i guess i dont really get bree after all!"
its classic. when a man loves a woman and then she breaks his heart. the end ;-p

i'll admit it. i laughed!
i was like "man, that's what you get."
i love jonas...but it really could not have been more OBVIOUS.

I'm from outer space somewhere 'cause I never did get the idea of laughing at people's pain. Sorry.

i escpecialy like how he says "ive never been so clear about anything!" and then he ends up being wrong. dead wrong.
but i bet he thinks that the order came and stole her. but that is obviously false. bree has gone crazy and she's one of them now.
either that or the scriptwriting has just officialy gone downhill. next daniel is going to kill jonas in a fit of jealousy when he finds the condoms in the bathroom.
oh and sack36, its okay to laugh at other people's pain. i know you secretly do it. we all do.

I don't laugh at real people's pain (That's the truth, plat), but a character's pain, why not?
Let's face it, Susan, the reason you object is because it's Jonas.
I have a very necessary contribution to this thread:

No. I don't. I've only watched 1 three stooges short; can't stand world's funniest videos; and think slapstick is hideous. I've cried at movies other people laughed at. Pain is pain. When I see it in other people I feel it in myself. It has nothing to do with thinking it is or is not "OK".

i love this empty shower scene because its like the inverse of psycho. its not the killer comming to get you in the shower but what's missing from inside the shower that is so frightening.
yep.
for a second there, i thought that we were going to see bree naked. the dissapointment i had from those hopes and dreams not being realised? that is pain, my friends. profound pain. like jonas said... i'm not going to talk about it. lol!
i don't mean to hound on you
sack36 but you're starting sound a little self-righteous. but really, its more of a philisophical argument. is it really so wrong to laugh at pain?
i feel that laughing at someone's pain is a mode of empathy. sure there is a sadistic way of laughing at someone else's pain but the only reason why i laugh is because i can relate.
that face that jonas made when he realised that bree had fooled him? i think most of us have been there. that's why it's so freaking halarious.
i don't know. maybe it's because i'm jewish but i think being able to laugh is a gift and i pitty the person who only sees the suffering in life.

I laughed. In fact, I laughed and yelled PWNED. He totally had it coming. What a tool.

I don't know, Platty, this doesn't sound like empathy to me.

Yeah, pretty much because it's not. I don't empathize with him at all.

OMG best quote ever. Seriously.
I didn't laugh at first. I remember thinking how idiotic he seemed though. I mean it was so obvious that it was going to happen but he had no idea.

Sorry, Consideration. I was just commenting on Platty's comment about laughing at another's pain is a form of empathy. I knew you and Juli are laughing because you genuinely like to see Jonas in pain. I had resolved to take this to PM and I'd better stick to that. Sorry if I confused you.

Ohhh okay. That definitely makes more sense.

i can't say i really laughed at Jonas' pain...more like i laughed at the situation lol. Right when he opened the curtain and there was no Bree, i laughed hard, not because he was "in pain" but because he was being a moron.
*wags finger* Jonas Jonas Jonas...
