Ok so, Fez’s house was driving me nuts. I just couldn’t get the layout but now I do. Behold, what I waisted my time on
Under the cut, the references
1. The stairs that lead to Ash’s bedroom and main door can be see in use in three ocations. first, for location, it’s when Ashtray kills mouse. After seeing him talk to Fez through the kindow that leads to the kitchen, he grabs a hammer and heads for the TV room through some stairs.
As we see, he turns to his right towards 2. the main hallway of the house. We can see this hallway better on the episode 5 scene. Rue enters Fezco’s house from the main door in Ash’s room and asks to use the bathroom. We see her enter the hall from the right.
After entering the bathroom she leaves towards her right, to Marie’s bedroom
We can see this part of this hallway better in the episode 2 where Fezco peers from 3. his bedroom’s door
Going back to the episode 5, we can see a special feature of this hallway
The double threshold and internal window wall. The first door is completely noticeable, just like the indoor window opening, but the 4. second threshold is better seen in Ash’s murder walk in episode 1. We see Ash walk out sraight out of the stairs past the hall into the first threshold and the camera lingers on Mouse through the seond threshold before cutting to Ash about to walk the 5. living room stairs
We can also see these stairs and the second door in the second episode, when Faye gets settled in the house
in this we see Fez walk in from the same threshold as Ash did in episode one, walk up the stairs and go into the livingroom. To Faye’s left (right side of the screen) we se a second treshold, the same we saw Mouse through.
We can also see the 7. firepace’s wall better, which we know it has a fireplace from episode 3 when they’re interrogating Cal, we can see it behind Fezco
This wall separates another feature of the O’Neill house from the main living room, behind this wall it’s what I ike to call 6. the lounge. We can see the lounge better than ever in the episode 1 cold open, as Fez tries to get Ashtray to sleep and Marie goes to drink in her bedroom.
Another thing we can see better in this flashback is the 8. pathway between the kitchen and the living room.
Now, for the ultimate feature of Fezco’s and Ashtray’s place is the 8. threshold from the kitchen to the hallway. As I said in the beggining, there are three times we can see the main stairs be used, one of those times is when Faye uses it, leaving the kitchen to then pass through Ash’s room in episode 6
This is only made possible by the doorway we see in episode 3, when Rue pitches her business idea to Fez
Now this little mess of a house can let me rest in peace.
Except there’s this: As I said, the main stairs are seen in use three times, the first time we see them is in episode 3 season 1, when Fez cuts rue off
Why is this a problem? Two reasons. First, when Fez gets off the stairs and goes towards the door he goes to his left but when Faye passes through Ash’s room she walks to the door towards the right. Second, the window displayedd in the background doesn’t seem to be facing the kitchen but the outside, it’s seems too bright to be the kitchen.
Now, this might be another room but that wouldn’t make much sense since that’s the usual main door, and the main door is in Ash’s bedroom. Still, it could be. Or maybe, that window is facing the kitchen and it’s just a bit too bright for athetich and visual purposes. However this was likely a change in the set and the layout of house. They probably came up with the ground room window facing the kitchen as a cool visual, and it is, it helps to make great visually dynamic takes, and they probably thought no one would pay mind to it since surely no one would try to figure out the layout in such an over the top fashion, in a bordeline manic state fairly similar to Rue’s in episode 7.
Surely no one would do that.
Anyway...
