Thank you. As I've said before, I strongly feel that the real friendship that was growing between Brian and Emmett and Ted was one of the few highlights from S4 and S5. And it seemed to me that a lot of that was because Michael was far less of an influence not just in Brian's life, but in the others' lives as well. And that without him constantly doing his 'I am such a martyr to my friendship to Brian' routine that the other two had the opportunity to really see Brian, see who he is without Michael always colouring their perception.
And I had the feeling that one of the good things that came out of the cancer arc was that it gave Emmett, and especially Ted, the chance to come to the fore and support Brian for once. And that that put their friendship on a much more even level and made it much stronger. (One of my favourite mini-moments in S4 is the little hug and peck on the cheek Emmett gives Brian when they meet up in the bar in Toronto. It's so sweet, and not something that would have happened in S1.)
So it was nice to explore how the friendships might have gone under these circumstances.
