    So, what a jam packed episode. And it's all leading up to the finale, which I know will make me cry. But anyway...We finally get to see Michael and Brian make up and be best friends again. I'm so happy to see that. My heart ached a little every time they would show them not talking to each other. They need each other. They are the only ones who have been there for each other through everything that has happened in their lives, way before Justin and Ben came along. They need each other. I love everyone's reactions to the announcement. Ted can really spit his coffee far. LOL! And I love how into the planning Brian really does seem to be. Like he said...He would be all for it (not his exact words, but that's what he meant). And when he wants something, he throws his whole self into getting it. And I love the registering at Prada. LOL!

    Emmett and Drew..sad to see them end cause they were a cute couple, but Drew does need to play. He's hot and he has this whole new world open to him. I can always imagine that he finds his way back to Emmett when he's done playing. LOL!

    Ted...not sure I like the new boyfriend. He was so excited about his birthday party. I mean that's all he practically talked about the entire episode and then just like that, he'll cancel it. I don't know....

    And Mel and Lyns wanting to move to Canada. I wasn't surprised at Michael and Brian's initial reactions, but then when they each changed, that was a little shocking. And of course, Justin is the one yet again to make Brian see things a different way. And I especially love the playground scene between Lyns and Brian. I shed some tears. "I don't want you to go Wendy." "I have to Peter." Just those 2 sentences and I'm practically balling. I am a little ticked at Lyns though for working on taking 2 important people out of Brian's life. First Gus and then Justin. At least leave him one thing so he can have some happiness in his life. And finally, I love how happy and loving and just everything Brian and Justin are in the episode. I'll be extremely sad to see it end. At least I have my DVDs.moreless

  • Everything's going perfectly...for now

    The moment I have been waiting for, for 5 years but would've sworn would never happen: Brian and Justin tying the knot. They are the perfect couple and they have been since they met on the corner across the street from Babylon. Yes there have been many ups and downs through the years, but there isn't one time that they ever stopped loving each other, even when they were apart. For Brian to admit that he loved Justin was a huge step for him to take, but he knew that that wouldn't change things, that Justin would still ultimately want to get married. So when Brian popped the question, I was in complete and utter shock, though I loved every moment of it. What better way to end the series than have the show's favorite couple do the unexpected and get married, something I know every true Queer as Folk fan has wanted from the beginning. Justin reminds Brian that he is the only one that hasn't broken a promise to him, and that painting in New York isn't his chance of a lifetime, Brian is. I was so thrilled when I thought they were getting married, but the next episode deffinately put a damper on things.moreless

  • We're getting married!

    As Brian and Justin plan and celebrate their new found engagement the gang all recieves their announcements. They all take it in hilarious humorous ways. Ted nearly gags, Lindsey and Melanie crack up, Debbie thinks Brian knocked up Sunshine, and Michael is so less then please especially considering Brian called him the defector and is now asking him to 'come celebrate our commitment'. However, this spurs the pair to finally mend their rift and get back to being best friends. However, a lot of this joy is kind of put on the back burner when Mel and Linds decide to move to Canada but require Brian and Michael's blessing because of the children. Now, as expected Michael is unsure about the move but by the end he accepts and it gives his blessing but Brian is another story. He assures them that they can go but says that Gus must stay in Pittsburgh. This is very unexpected but at the same time is kind of touching. Brian, wanting another chance with his son, doesn't want him to leave. That's sweet. Gus isn't the only one that he'll lose, too. We get to see a light more insight into how much Brian has actually change and how he feelings on love have really changed, too. Not to mention, we get a little throw back to the series premiere and a great scene with Brian and Linds.

    I practicly grit my teeth is this episode though, just because I know what it coming and it's practicly all I can think about.moreless

    Going into the series finale of \"Queer as Folk\" I had no real expectations. From the plots of the last 11 episodes of the season, I had no idea where the show could go in its last foray, and I had no thoughts about what it will be like when it got there. And let me tel you that I have gone through my fair share of series finale\'s. Some of them bad: Friends, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Popular; some of them okay: Angel, Party of five, & Felicity; and some of them wonderful: Dawson\'s Creek & Roswell. But none of them left me with such a feeling of fulfilment.

    That is the word that I would use to describe Queer As Folk... the plot to the finale and themes where very simple. The plot was basically the main characters saying goodbye to the lives, loves, family, and feelings of the past years and become mature enought to accept what life will throw at them. The Theme goes to show that thigns may change, but you always have memories and the people to share them with weither or not you actually talk to these people anymore.

    With any ending be it graduation, going away, or death there is always a mixed bag of feelings... The excitement about the challenges that lie ahead, the grief that comes with know the fact that many things are going to change, that sense of wonder: what will become of me now. The Finale showed that beautifully, showing all the characters from where they started bacially to when they\'ve grown up. Bryan Kenny grew up when he acknowledged that he loved someone more than ever, but he also knew that the path he choose to the follow the love was not fair to either him nor Justin. Emmet finally finds a person from home, a place of torment and nothing but bad memories, whom is actually on his side. Ted goes back to his roots with Blake, yet they are both older and wiser now. And Justin, he went from the naive little boy into a full grown man over the course of teh series... he is now fully ready to make his mark on the world. Michael too in a sense has gone from the doe-eyed boy to the Patricark of the group.

    I don\'t think that I could have come up with a more realistic, and satisfying way to end one of the most revolutionary series of my time... But I don\'t have one thign to say it: They better damn well come home for christmas (either in the fans hearts or on showtimes airwaves, either way).

    Goodnight \"Queer as Folk\" Thank you for the memories, the porn, the relationships, the thought provoking stories, the courage, and the feeling of hope... Thank you for everything, and good luck!moreless

  • The end is nigh...

    I don't think I can take it. The last episode is in a couple of days and I just know they are going to piss me off.

    Who else thinks they are going to break Justin and Brian up? Huh, anyone!? I just know that they are going to get right up to the day and Justin is going to go off to stupid New York to see if he can make it as an artist. Why did Lindsey have to open her big, fat mouth? Especially since she has been pushing Brian to make this commitment to Justin for years and what does she do when he finally does, she tells him to leave. I just know that they are going to ruin my dream for a perfect series finally. Brian is going to be all alone. This sucks.

    I don't like Ted's new boyfriend. Why does he always have to pick the weirdos (except for Emmett). This guy won't meet his friends and he makes Ted cancel a party that he was looking forward to. Nope, nothing good can come from this relationship.

    Poor Emmett. He was right to let Drew go though. Drew had to sow his wild oats before he could settle down. But I still wish Emmett had someone.

    I understand why Mel and Linds have to go, so I wish them luck. It feels like there story is all over with. I wish all the time I could move to Cananda. America is starting to suck eggs!

    Not much to say on the Ben and Michael front, but I'm glad Ben made Michael see that Brian and he will always love each other and that he should get over himself. Plus I liked that Hunter finally went back to school. I love Debbie in her new Grandma role.

    I am deeply saddened to see this show go and I pray that they are not going to ruin the series finally. Please Brian and Justin. Please!moreless
