I just loved the depth of it.. all the hurt and the angst that came along with what happened when they were teens, how it affected Marti in such a profound way - all of her trust issues and inability to truly open up to anyone since Dan - and the way that Dan had never gotten over her either. I just loved the way it was told. It wasn't shoved it our faces from the beginning, but the layers between them were subtly pulled back, like in 1x05 when it was clear that Marti was feeling more than she wanted to about DS. And it just got better from there. The story was crafted and explained and shown so wonderfully.
Yeah, I can see that... I guess what bothered me the most was the moment when Wanda went to him and told to go get her. To me, it seemed like he was perfectly happy with Savannah and wouldn't have considered going after Marti again...

But maybe that is the JM in me talking... but hey... to each their own, right?

That sounds awesome! I'll definitely help out in any way I can!
I hope it'll work out. I'm really exited about this

People were complaining? I thought that they had an insane amount of chemistry, what's there to complain about? But I didn't see it from the beginning either, honestly. Maybe that's just 'cause of Marti's tendency to be so headstrong, but, I don't know... They definitely had "it" in spades as the episodes progressed though, so no complaints from me.
Well, I came to the show a little late. I started watching Queer as Folk around Christmas, then started to check out Gale's other project. At first I only watched his episode but then caught up on the rest, so I'm a little biased when it comes to him

But yeah... a lot of the fans (those I know) don't particularly like him with female characters. To say the least. When the first scenes of them kissing showed up, they went "wrong blond" all over the place. One even called their relationship "gross", yet failed to say why...
I mean... just because one is a fan of a certain actor, doesn't mean they got to love everything. I know that. And I don't like some of the stuff he has done. But sometimes it's really... yeah, it's insane.. the amount of disapproval against anything other than QaF.
