Wow, I can't believe it's really here. When they first announced that the show was ending, it seemed so far away and yet here we are knocking on the door.
There's so many things I would have done with the show, but I'll let it all rest. Big to all of you tonight. __________________

It was an amazing episode. All in all, I think everyone got what they wanted. As a Justin/Brian fan, I believe that their soulmates & will be together no matter what. In qaf world New York City isn't very far from Philly, maybe an hour or two drive. So I'm very happy with the ending. I think it went out the way this show was meant to.
This show has been ground breaking & will remain to be in the future years to come. It opened up many men & women's eyes to homosexality. It showed many straight people that there is nothing wrong with being gay, that gay men & women are the same as the next person & deserve all that we do (we being straight people). I know I personally grew & learned so much from this show. It wasn't about the sex, the hot men, the drugs, clubbing.. It was about so much more. I can only hope that it will continue to have this effect on others as the years pass. Queer as folk, will never be forgotten & will always be an amazing show and live on for many years to come !! Thank you QAF!! __________________

I absolutely cannot believe its over. It's just...aah! The only thing that resembled me crying about this show prior to 513 was a tear or two for 122. When B/J were making love and the images of them were being portrayed across their bodies, it was just f***ing beautiful. And that Doves song... I started to bawl but then remained in a state of shock. I'm happy they weren't married, it wasn't for them. And the ending with Brian, Ted, Michael, and Em dancing together was absolutely perfect and so was the "Proud" remix. Blake was in the circle thing too, right? (Thanks for telling me not to give up hope, Dine! ) And speaking of s1 music, them playing "Sleep" at the beginning of the ep just killed me, B/J wise. In 102, Brian was telling Justin he didn't believe in love to that song and in 513, he was trying on his wedding tux and telling Justin he was beautiful! I'm rewatching so more thoughts to come later. and the Michael voiceovers!
And about "Weeds," Showtime has been pimping that show like crazy. When Hal's voice came over the credits telling us about the edgy new series to watch now that QAF is over, I had been hugging my pillow and threw it down and yelled "Screw Weeds!" I think that's been my first incident of QAF rabid fangirlness. It even scared me! Thanks QAF, we shared good times over our short 1-2 year love affair. __________________

I loved the finale, it was really what every fan group could have asked for I think, Even as a Brian/Michael shipper, I was happy with how it ended.
I thought the final Brian/Justin scene was very well done although I think they should have done flashbacks during the sex instead of the light on their bodies, I thought that was kinda cheesy, but like I said, well done. Mel and Linds were cute. Their final kiss made me smile. Brian and Gus were adorable, I just loved him with his son, so sweet and touching. The plot with Emmett and Ted sucked. I think it was so contrived that they each ran into people from their past at the resort. I was kind of hoping for a Emmett/Ted reunion or at least a glimmer of hope for them, but I didn't get that, oh well. I loved all the Brian/Michael moments. I thought it was so cute when they talked about going to Babylon and how they looked and then Michael telling him that he jerked off thinking about him that night. It was so cute for some reason. Loved loved loved the final scene with Brian/Michael dancing in the club, a perfect ending with the kiss if you ask me, although I could have done without the Ben/Michael smooch, lol. Damn Gale looks sexy while dancing. I wish I looked that hot shaking my groove thing. __________________

End of QAF
I saw the epi some weeks ago .
I cried and cried and cried. I still i do when i watch it. I'm a big Brian and Justin fan, always have, always will. But i didn't get my happy ending. That i wanted. I'm still crying. Brian all alone at Babolyn. And missing Justin It's great that mickey and Brian is friends again. Happy for all how shipper of them. But i'm not. I wanted my happy ending . I really need it. But i didn't get it. At least he saved the rings. Hopefully he come to NewYork some time or Justin will come to the Pitts. At least we got the "I love you" from Brian . But i wanted more after that. Soon i'm going to the beach to spend some time with some friends of mine. Friends is a great thing. Would be living without them . Tell you more about the ending of queer as folk us when i'm calm down. I'm not that now. Still sad geuss will be for some hours now. I really wanted my happy ending for Brian and Justin. But know some weeks later. I thought about, but i still don't like the ending. I would if i had seen Justin facen in the crowd at or outside baybaloon. For all the other shipper. Ted/Blacke: Can put to words how happy i'm about that. Emmet: Would love him and Drww together but Drew need to grow up in his new "gay-me". Not shpre he will ever return to Emmet. But hi will rember him Ben/Mickey: Has nothing really to say about them. Everthing is always the same for them. Or so it feels like. Mel/Linz: It was a good thing for them to move to Canda. And that was a big thanks you to Toronto, the city they film in for 5 yers. At least in my mind. Littel more B/J ( pleae someone make my stop ) : Still brian kept the rings. Which is a god thing. And the house he didn't sale it did he? ANd like some one wrote here, NY isn't that far a head. I really hope is some way i get my happpy B/J. We don't need rings and words to now that we love each other. We always know Once a BJ shiper, always a BJ shipper. __________________

I'll skip over my anger at the sight of Blake/Ted together and chalk it up to being just another dream sequence...
Otherwise,i totally loved the finalé...sniff... No more nekkid Ben,Michael & Ted. No more bitching about Brian No more TEmmett.:sob: No more Deb,Carl and Hunter No more Mel/Linz,Gus and JR. Farewell,dear friends... God,my Sunday nights are gonna suck big time. |

Well, I'm afraid I'm the "odd man out" here. I didn't care much for this episode at all.
Perhaps because I've been brooding about it all week. I felt the need to cry/purge my sadness on this episode and I never shed one tear. (Maybe I'm just cold and heartless... ) I didn't expect the wedding to take place. I expected Justin to head for NY so, no surprise there. I was confused by the scene with the rings...I wanted to see Justin put it on--for them to have there own private ceremony or something. What I didn't expect after two weeks of Brian professing his love to Justin, telling the world-or at least his friends and family, that he was in love--for him to look at Justin and say, "Whether we see each other in a week or a month or never again..it's just time." I know it's his way but still, CowLip seems to be giving us a slightly schizo Brian. The kiss between them was intense. I did like that. And the love scene was really nice. Not the usual but sweet and loving. As someone else said --it was way to contrived for Emmett and Ted to meet people at the ski resort. It seemed like a pacifier. How convienent for someone from Hazelhurst to find Emmet. It's true-we wanted to see everybody happy--but I would have preferred Ted and Emmett happy together. Mel and Linz leaving wouldn't have had a profound effect on me anyway as I've never really cared about their storylines-(cold and heartless again....) But, I wanted to hear the new "Loving" Brian tell his son he loved him. It would have been a stark contrast to his own father, showing how loving Justin has changed him for the better and a nice new beginning for the future relationship he will have with Gus. Okay, I did get slightly choked up when Linday said goodbye to Brian. But it didn't last long. Nice for Michael and Ben to adopt Hunter. Future episodes would have been interesting as two gay men battled the courts for custody of a straight teenage boy. Not much Debby time in this episode. Ah well. The dance sequence was good at the end. I liked that they started it in Babylon and ended it there as well. Well, it sure has been a great ride. In general I loved it all. I will miss this show tremendously as well as all the friends I've made along the way. As a "breeder" I can't say that QaF changed my views about homosexuality. I've always been openminded and tolerant of all--it has reminded me and others that in the end, (no pun intended) we're all still people.

I for one am glad they, BJ, didn't get married, and not just because I'm a B/M fan, but because I always thought they just weren't good enough for eachother. Not emotionally. Even though I liked Brian and Justin as seperate people I didn't like them together.
I'm glad Justin could see something was wrong, and I'm glad he left. To me it just seems like for the first time he chose himself, Justin, instead of Brian and Justin, if that makes any sense. I'm also pretty happy the show is over, it had a good, run. IMO to have gone longer would just have made it stupid. Of corse I enjoyed all the B/M scenes, I pretty much enjoyed everything. And I'm just happy I read fic because even though the shows over, atleast for me and other people who read fanfiction, the storys not. __________________
