I watched Queer as Folk season 4 episode 6 today- someone should have bloody warned me it was an ultra-emotional one! I was crying my eyes out for HOURS after! DAMN but this show is excellent. Even if I feel manic-depressive while watching. *laugh* *sob* *cheer* *cry* I'm not going to post spoilers... but... yeah... I'm pretty on edge now, even 4 hours after watching it. I feel like I did between seasons 1 and 2... and this is only mid-season! I just... guh... wow. That episode... *shakes and hugs pillow to chest* It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...
I am going to hold off watching episode 7 until tomorrow, I think. I just can't... I need time to digest all this. FANTASTIC episode. Utterly fantastic. And painful. But it wouldn't be so painful if I didn't love all the characters so damn much. Fabulous show. Makes me hurt so much... but it's a good hurt. DAMN I want to write things that move people this much one day! :-) *sigh* I love this show. Can't wait until it's out on DVD! :-)

Thank gods it's been renewed for a 5th season else I'd be worried they'd kill off ALL the characters to raise our awareness/make us want to take action...

Ugh! I would have died if I'd been anticipating either one of those. 34 is just way too fucking young to have cancer... I, like, shake when I think about it. Not good. I was just getting into the whole "Brian and Justin back to normal and up to their old tricks" thing when that hit me like a ton of bricks. Gods. I was bouncing happily when Brian won the bet (because I think Justin should go back to school) but when that happened... DAMN this show doesn't let me ever feel middle ground. I'm either incredibly excited or angry and sobbing! LOL And I was so scared that Emmett would go over to see Teddy after reading the letter and find him with Blake and never speak to him again. I mean, I like Blake. I do. But I still want Ted and Emmett to work things out and for things to be okay with them again. Though I'd love to see them back together, I'd settle for friendship. But with Blake in the piccture... so I'm glad they didn't go into that this episode. On top of all else, that would have ripped me apart emotionally.
Vic... oh my gods... he's like... I *SO* didn't see it coming, though in retrospect he shouldn't have said the words "life partners". Drama show irony constitutes a death after such a phrase is uttered. It's hard to love a character for years and years and have him killed off. I am glad that it served a purpose and a number of characters learned from it... but it's still so painful. I would have liked to have been prepared, but I'm REALLY glad I wasn't spoiled!
It killed me. Mikey and Em being the ones to find him... and Debbie- I would seriously die if my last words to someone I loved were "Fuck you." I can't imagine how she's going to get over it... it's not the sort of thing one can EVER get over. But the worst part of the whole episode for me was Ben and Hunter being there. Michael realizing they could die at any moment just like that. Hunter seeing someone he knew die of AIDS for the first time, despite the meds (or because of the meds). That killed me. The expression on Hunter's face... and that discussion between Mikey and Ben... really, that killed me more than anything else.
