QAF Series Finale ~ 10 Year Anniversary ~ August 7, 2005

Ten years ago today, marks the 10th Anniversary of the Queer As Folk series finale. For some, it was the perfect ending…but for most, it was a very (ambiguously) sad ending. Either way, it marked the end of an era of a show that has withstood the test of time.




August 7th, 2005 was the final episode in the U.S. of Queer As Folk. Episode 513, to me, was the saddest episode in the entire series. I completely understand the fans who could not watch it, as I have only watched it in full twice.





*I hope you can see it, because it says blocked in some countries. I only ask don't share these videos off of my journal, as they are unlisted.

Now I am crying.




















G/R & cast saying goodbye.

Gosh how much I hated the finale... especially the last 10 minutes.

This brought back some very bitter sweet memories for me, but it's all so completely and utterly beautiful. Can't believe it's been 10 years.

She did such a fantastic job. I'm nearly in tears.

I figured... why lessen the blow by leaving that out when it already hurts so much?
