We seem to be falling way over 300 in a few threads this week!

You usually catch them. That's why you get paid the big bucks.

When there is a new thread and I have more time, I'll come back to discuss this more...

I agree that they didn't want each other to sacrifice for love. His face when Mel told him about Justin sacrifice was sad. I really do think he would have settied down, I think he really meant it. I mean like it's been said when has Brian ever said or done anything he didn't mean?

I just hate that he said never again...what was the point?

Their love scene at the end was perfect.

I'm sad, so sad. But really we got more then I ever imagined. Brian finally gave justin what he always wanted. He said i love you and he kept the rings....to me that says it was real and something he still wants someday.

When he said he was taking a chance at love....the look on his face told me he meant that.

Brian and Justin will still be together. They've been through to much not to. Brian will only ever truly love Justin and vise versa. Nothing else makes sense.

Mel and Linz should have stayed out of it! It's not enough that they're taking Gus away from Brian .. they have to push Justin to leave too!!

Total devastation for Brian .. losing two people he loves most in the world!

I don't think Justin is lost to Brian. I think the fact that he wanted him to go have his dream shows how much he loves him. And the fact that Justin didn't want Brian to change does the same. Justin always loved Brian unconditionally and for exactly who he is and that will never change.

Part of me will always hate Mel, I'm not going to lie.

They are so beautiful, they made love and we got to witness it and it was so special. The Montage made all their times together special, it made them all mean something and for that I will always be greatful.

Brian Kinney took a chance at love. You don't wait 5 years for something like that just to have it be over. No. I refuse to believe it's over.

Brian still has his sunshine

But the physical closeness is no longer there .. not with Gus, not with Justin .. and also, Brian really didn't want Linz to leave either.

All three have moved away .. Mikey has Ben and Hunter .. and Brian is physically on his own!

Justin won't be gone forever. He will come back to Brian and Brian will visit him. Brian finally has a reason to move his career to New York

Brian will always have Michael and Justin, that will never change.

The ending is a hard pill to swallow. I have to find a way to have hope. Brian and Justin mean so much to me.

When Brian said I love you I started crying. I never thought he would say it.

I think it might be a while before I can watch the ending again....

Why do you think Mel said that to Brian? To hurt him? She was never very fond of him.

He doesn't deserve to be alone

Zebbers · 08-20-2015, 02:40 PM

Justin tells Linz that NY isn't his opportunity of a lifetime .. Brian is!

And Linz says, "do you think Warhol would have become Warhol if he'd stayed in Pittsburgh?"

Just uugghh!! Times have changed .. technology has changed .. Justin could have been just as creative in the Pitts as he could in NY .. and since Brian was his muse at times, I'd say he'd have been successful wherever the f

k he was.

that is so right! These days it doesn't matter where you are...

I know, but he will be okay. He still has Justin even if they aren't as physically close right now as I want. His heart will always be with Justin and Justin's will always be with Brian! I'm really having a hard time with this, honestly. I'm barely holding it together. My husband Keeps saying it's just a show and I do get that but to me it was more.

I just don't get why they couldn't have stayed together. I know they aren't broken up but I wished for a non open ending.

Why tease us with that wedding? What was the purpose of that?
