Brian O'Conner

Um, and new father, Scott Sternberg, um, who, uh, basically, and this is my favorite part about, he basically named him his child two letters away from being a fast and the furious cat character.

Um, his, his new child's name is Ryan Connor and, uh, he's this close to being Brian O'Connor.

And that just made me laugh.

And, and, Congratulations, Scott.

I was like, if they use a clip

from the previous movie, like I, like for some reason I've always found it fascinating of like what actually gets an actor paid.

It's like, if they say a line, if it's just like, Every time they show, going back to Fast and Furious, every time they show Brian O'Connor saying family in a movie after he died, is he getting paid? Or was he already paid for that piece of art? Totally not necessary to think about, but it is what I think

about.

It's going to drive my nuts.

one eternity later brian brian o'connor brian god damn it shouldn't have done that anyway family they are family

yes and that's one thing i really did like about both episodes the beginning of a family vibe between specifically tommy and vision i liked how as soon as vision started to you know not be completely closed off tommy just jumped at the chance to like okay father figure which kind of bit him in the ass in the end but i don't know it's something about the actor for tommy he just comes off as so sincere to me especially like when he like he like tries to be more like open to vision about like you know his trauma with water Or even say, look, I bought us new clothes.

I nicked him from the car.

I found the results to always be very interesting because a lot of the top people I was aligned with are characters that I tend to absolutely love right in real life.

and yeah and fiction so uh at what my number two person is jack pearson from this is us okay very cool follow and then there's nick young from crazy rich asians uh toby damon and then uh you've got like brian o'connor and ted lasso and there you go very fun

yeah

yeah so anyway just just kind of like one of those things where i'm sort of like okay i don't know really who jack pearson is or if he's like the dad no he's the dad yeah it's

Now, the next part of the history does not quite make sense to me, but for whatever reason, here is the story.

The story is that Paul Walker is somehow still not the franchise's first pick to play the cop, Brian O'Connor.

Wait, what?

Yeah, the first pick, I don't get this either.

And these titles, yes, are very confusing.

So we'll just kind of jump around.

But that's the one where Letty dies and Dom ends the movie getting sent to prison while letting Brian and Mia start a life together.

Now, I just want to say two interesting things about that.

hello, Fast and Furious.

We're talking about Toretto and Brian O'Connor.

That's right.

When Paul Walker passed, I mean, just...

this one, everything is, is falling apart.

Um, for one thing, the fact that they keep bringing up Brian, I think is a really, I mean, it, it, it gets worse.

The further the franchise goes on, but here you could just tell us like, Oh no, no, no.

They should have just, just leave it.

So, yeah.

So, like, it's...

I feel like it's only sort of in retrospect that I was like, oh, were they trying to make a new Brian? Like, that just wasn't really apparent throughout the film.

You know, like, it was just...

Suddenly he's working with the bad guy, Cipher, and, and no one knows why he's doing that.

And obviously it's revealed later that he's been blackmailed into it because unbeknownst to Vin, he got Elena pregnant, and she had a child, who is Vin Diesel's son.

And she is being kept captive, as his, as is his son, by the bad guy.

So he is doing this to them.

There is a cool line in there that I do like when he's talking to Cipher, and it's something along the lines of...

But yeah, we've got all the old players back.

Deckard Shaw didn't die.

He ends up locked up in a prison right next to The Rock, so cue the bants there.
