Queer As Folk (US)

And I really would like the writers to explain how the heck Brian is able to afford that big ass mansion complete with tennis courts and stables. I know Kinnetik is supposedly "successful" even though it's still less then a year old plus he has Babylon. So I know he's nowhere near being poor. More like well off. But that house had to cost way more then what he has. I know good and well he can't be a millionaire.

Brian is dick whipped and I love it! He's so funnily out of it!

Ben kicked the crap out of that guy and I was with him all the way! Especially when Emmett jumped in!

Ha! Who knew there were other uses for a fist?

Next week looks GOOD!

THis show is so much crappy campy fun. Only classless part was when the kid turned on the tv and there was an explosion, I was like, thanks Exposition Fairy, for always loading up on the class.

Hunter in Disney World eh? I like my vision of Santa Fe better, but whatever. How much does Disney pay that he was able to buy a last minute plane ticket to Torontosburgh? I don't really care, except I can't wait for Hunter to go home and not have a bed! HA HA!

Who was Dusty? I know she was supposed to be JR's and Gus' babysitter but did she ever actually apear on the show? I don't remember anyone ever mentioning her.

[stickykeys]

She actually wan't their babysitter, she was just a friend. I asked about her a while back, she's originally a friend of Linds who made an appearance in season 1 I think when Mel cheated on Linds.

[Deleted]

I had no idea who Dusty was either (well, other than a conveniently planted plot device) and have no recollection of her on the show. I didn't think either Mel or Linds had any friends outside the boys.

ETA: My memory of walk-on characters in Season 1 is, obviously, long gone.

Brian: "I'm taking a chance on love"? I wan't sure whether to gouge my eyes out or simply hurl something through my TV. Oh, and I'm sorry, are we back in the 1970's bathhouses of San Francisco with that (yet another) horrific Ted/ Random Groovy Guy sex scene?
What in tarnation is going on with these people?
Most original and groundbreaking ideas of the episode: the Marilyn/Some Like It Hot and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? references. Hand these fellas a GLAAD award!

[stickykeys]

That Ted/Random Groovy Guy scene was so trying at first, until the very end when Groovy guy sprinkled water on Ted's head and then started to stroke his hair. The look Ted gave him cracked me up forever! I had to rewind because it was so funny, and the guy just kept on strokin!

[huntergrayson]

Kept on strokin his hair, right?

Someone needs to create a special Emmy called, "Best Actor Who Works as a Plot Anvil" and hand it immediately to the kid who turned up the volume on the exploding warehouse on the waiting room TV.

Hopefully he can share the award with that Fagcolm X kid in Ben's class. My god, where do they find these "actors"? I can't flat-out blame Canada for this, can I?

I love how Emmett and Ted's reactions this week veered off wildly from how they had been behaving last week. Mention of bomb + exploding exposition TV magically equals shock. It was also bizarre how everyone else had cleaned up yet Brian was all dusty and dirty in the beginning.

I noticed it, too. I also noticed Gale trying to stifle a laugh as he reached into his refrigerator to grab the smallest bottle of water ever to hand to Justin's mother.

Probably because he inexplicably poured it into a glass!

Oh, Brian, Brian, Brian -- I am sure at some point, Justin has dreamed of having a pony, but that doesn't mean you should buy one for him. Although now you have the stables for it.

There was an article in the new Radar on how Disney was a huge orgy of sex and drugs and drink for the workers. So maybe it's perfect for Hunter.

[stickykeys]

There's HunterGrayson! I was wondering about you! Now if we could just get snacktastic and Demian we'll have a party!

Kept on strokin his hair, right?

I can't speak for his left hand, but his right...

Falcolm X? "Get my hand out of your pocket!" HA!

Ben's "class" is so frickin' annoying. I hate when ANYONE is like, "You don't understand what I'm going through because you're rich/straightacting/beautiful!" So I was glad some STFU got thrown his way. I would fail that whole class, but as a Temp I don't know if Ben has that power (I refuse to believe he's fulltime staff).

[snacktastic]

Party, party. I finally watched the last two episodes. Yeah, the students were annoying. I think the whole point was about how no gays are too privileged not to experience oppression. Even Ben, the hot, manly pacifist. Bludgeon? Yes, it is Cowlip's favorite mode of storytelling.

I did a driveby of this thread before watching last weeks episode. Damn you all. I was so distracted by looking for signs of Justin and Brian laughing. And man, that whole "I'll be everything want me to be," (I thought of American Express) speech was laaaame. And they looked like they couldn't quite believe what bullshit they were spewing. And Brian's whole speech about how he is such a believer, cause he was so against it, seems so wholly unbelievable, you could tell that Gale Howard was mildly horrified by this all. He needs to walk around like the walking wounded first--because selling everything and buying a country manor might seem like a nice gesture, but not as nice as sticking around and slowly proving yourself by changing your actions. If I was Justin, it'd all freak me out a little bit. Run Justin Run!!! I am sure the actor who played him was thinking the same thing. (I want an icon that says "Run Justin Run" like Run Lola Run but with Justin instead).

By the way, nice little speech about how not all straights are evil and hate gays--done by the straight actors to a large straight audience, not causing anyone to reflect on that statement.

Oh and Hunter. So cute. Such a stupid storyline. He wants to be an actor? He went to disney world? Everything is better? What a dumbass move. But I do love Hunter, he's such a little wanker.

Oh, Brian, Brian, Brian -- I am sure at some point, Justin has dreamed of having a pony, but that doesn't mean you should buy one for him. Although now you have the stables for it.

If it were more realistic, Brian would buy Justin a little outfit so he could be his ponyboy. You know, in a misguided attempt to bond. Cause Brian is socially idiotic at his core and is really only good at fucking. (and it'd be hawt!)
