Queer as Folk Season 3

[tarotgal]

I was rather dissapointed to find that instead of 20 or 22 episodes, the third season of Queer as Folk was only 14 episodes. I really tried to make it last... but I watched episodes 12-14 just now. I'm laughing and crying my eyes out at the same time.

Oh my gosh... it really... wow... no words. I'm just... wow... so incredibly impressed. I really, really am. Just... everything... *deep sigh*
And what an end to an intense season!

And, um, twas nice to see my little Philip Akin's character won the election *G*

Anyway.. wow... crying...
And oddly enough, the whole Mikey's spirit thing at the end of the episode is very close to that of Vince in the UK version in the last episode. Of course, Mike's development over the last 6 or 7 episodes has been spectacular. And I'm worried about everybody but man... crying and laughing. What a show!

I've made something for you in Paint. Because I was bored and thinking about your stories and your plushies and... yes anyway.

Oh. My. Gosh.
That is just the cutest thing!!!
How sweet are you!!!!!! *hugs*
Look at Remus! What a cutie!!

Whoa, oddly enough, one of my many unfinished non-sneeze related stories has a scene where Remus jumps enthusiastically onto Sirius back, surprising him. Then he kisses Sirius... man... are you reading my mind here? :-)

Anyway... oohhhh this is just too cute for words!!!! Thank you! *Big grin* I'm in the middle of a terrible angst-filled attempt at a post-Order fic with Harry... so this makes me feel MUCH better, too :-) Thanks! *G*

EEEE!!!!!!!!

Ok, so now that I've watched the finale I can actually make a comment that's worthwhile and not just a doll thing I made. Muahahahaha.

Ok, so I'm crying. I just finished watching it a minute ago. The end was a mixture of jubilation and heart-lurching fear/sadness. Hunter hugging Ben made me weep, because I've been waiting for that since they took him in. Teddy finding Blake again and finding out that he's helping at rehab instead of using it still was great. I felt so bad for Teddy. The look on his face when he signed himself in. The subtle I'm-crying-and-trying-not-to-show-it aspect. Everything. I'm so proud of him.

That was the best season yet. Brian really developed this season I think. He grew up. More so near the end, but even earlier on. He's really proving that he cares about more than himself.

Really, just fantastic. I hope Hunter and Mikey are going to be ok. Poor Ben!

I'm done. *g*

Well, the R/S doll was MORE than fabulous as a first response! Albeit off topic *g*

>>Ok, so I'm crying. I just finished watching it a minute ago. The end was a mixture of jubilation and heart-lurching fear/sadness. <<
Wasn't it, though? Crying for Ted(the look on his face when Blake introed himself at the group meeting was like, shock/surprise/hate/admiration all in one) and Em(Debbie's words of advice to him made me sob), then Justin and Brian- ending with them together AS THEY SHOULD BE! heehee
And Mikey& Hunter... I'm so mixed about Hunter. Even in the beginning I just wanted to slap him and then hug him to death while he's stunned from the slap. I still couldn't tell if being a 'good boy' was just a ploy because he realized how good he had it and wanted to stay (he didn't seem really happy at the party- and we all know Mike's track record with surprise parties!) but in this last episode I think I finally started believing a little bit of gratitude is genuine- especially with his fear of being taken away. But you're right, that hugging Ben was just priceless.

>>I felt so bad for Teddy. The look on his face when he signed himself in. The subtle I'm-crying-and-trying-not-to-show-it aspect. Everything. I'm so proud of him.<<
Me, too. Though part of me suddenly (on the third time around) started feeling glad he wasn't voting that day because he was in rehab- he's a republican afterall. I'm terrible. ANYWAY, I was so proud of him- but I was shocked at the video. I knew what it was right away... but it didn't really hit me until later that they were technically gang raping him. Obviously he didn't give concent, and no matter how out of it he was... I mean, if he'd been a woman, it's the first thing I would have thought: rape. But it took a while for that to occur to me. Man... but his face when he checked in... I know it must have been the hardest thing to admit to, after all that's happened to him... but he'll make it through on his own, I know he will.
Poor guy... does NOT have a good track record with drugs...

>>That was the best season yet. Brian really developed this season I think. He grew up. More so near the end, but even earlier on. He's really proving that he cares about more than himself. <<
I'm divided on seasons... 2 was really great for me... I just feel that this one was a liiiiittle too short. But it's really hard for me to pick my favorite :-) There were SO many strong emotions this season, and growing up from ALL of the characters.
And I agree- Brian did develop well- the whole concept of sacrificing for what's right was floating around all season so it was a perfect ending, especially with Brian. THough I AM worried about how he's going to pay all that off- especially now that he can't get rid of his car, as Mikey has it. And Horvath... man... really pissed me off. But I guess you gotta do what you believe in, and everyone draws lines. I love how Debbie respected that in the end and went on to fight regardless :-) And I loved her charge out into the streets at the end... I just kept thinking of Justin's adorable quote "I know how much she wants to be a gay man but is it wise to encourage her?" LMAO

The last episode of QAF UK has the Mikey character borrowing a car, running from the cops, then taking off with the Brian character at the very end. So I thought this was an interesting similarity, even though it's completely different story-wise, the rebellious anything-for-love-and-freedom spirit was retained. Man... I love this show!!! :-)
