Thank god,the moon and the stars above for Hal Sparks!
He and Robert Gant give two of the best performances of thier careers in these two episodes.

Watching Ben go through steroid addiction,after the death of his ex-lover,is one of the most difficult things ever and Robert Gant does it so beautifully.
Nice bum shots too. LOL!

I've always loved Hal Sparks and the character of Michael.

When he loves someone.it's from the heart. And watching the love of your life destroy himself with drugs is not an easy thing.

If there ever was an episode that showed Michael truly becoming a man and fighting for what he has at any cost,even if that means leaving Ben,this the one.

BRILLIANT!
