I was lucky enough to watch the pilot on tv here almost at the same time it aired originally in the US and I was totally stunned by B/J, esp since the first QaF scene I ever watched was Justin's first time. It was actually before I knew anything about them. Years later I watched the rest on YT first and that's when I discovered their full story which I then kept rewatching on my DVD's.
I didn't have to wait long between eps but even so I guess I always had faith in the writers that they wouldn't go too far with the hardships B/J had to endure, esp the breakups.
Even 513 is not the end of the road for them, imo
