i can't sleep. queer as folk 2000-2005.

I can't believe it's been five years! It's hitting my nostalgic button pretty hard, you guys. Five years ago today (except it was August 7th) was the very last episode of Queer as Folk. I just moved in to my new apartment and made sure that I had cable so I could watch it and the Goodbye Special. My friend scifi_addict was a witness to the insanity that was my state of mind.

I don't know what I would've done without this show. I really don't. It's seven years later and I'm still using this journal, making new friends, getting into new fandoms, but I'll always come back to Queer as Folk.

How about we all share one memory from the show that's made us happy? It could be a quote, a picture, a moment in the show, a memory that you share with a friend while watching the show, memories of the signings, the Paley Festival, the Babylon Tours, etc.

I remember being on the phone with my best friend and we used to talk for hours and hours. Pretty much every day we'd recite a line to each other and it would crack us up. I remember one day in particular where ... I think the new clips came out on sandstorm's website. Remember the former website? It was plain, black background and it just had the clips on it. Anyway, we started saying Brian and Justin's lines from 406 when they were at Babylon together and making the bet. I don't know why this one sticks out for me but I remember laughing really hard while doing that.

... one more. The DC++ gang. I don't think I have anyone remaining from there on my flist. Do I? That was fun. I got into Latter Days that way and the Bel Ami boys (ha). A lot of people had some really great things to share.

Brian in love, and not trying to hide it. Sighhhh.

Too many beautiful, wonderful moments and lots of good internet friends! I love the scenes you have all mentioned.

The most jaw-dropping moment was when Justin got bashed and Gale in the hospital, also broken, afterwards. I didn't even know what spoilers were, then.

The sexiest moment for me was the kiss right at the end of the episode when Brian broke down the back door to Babylon and pulled Justin in there.

I also loved the scene when Brian told his Father he was gay, Gale Harold just blew my mind with his portrayal of Brain (still does!) he got a promiscuous hard-headed stud to reveal the biggest human heart out of all of them IMO.

Although I was saddened by the writing in Seasons 4 and 5 I did love Gale's acting in the finale - the loss of something never to be repeated was palpable.

Thanks for the post, and thanks Lucinda428 for the nudge.

HOTTEST BACKROOM MOMENT EVERRRR! *drools*

When I saw this episode the first time, I couldn't believe how unbelievable hot 3 seconds could be. But the music, the light, the skin, the hands, the tongues -- it blew my mind.

I am with you right there! I never knew that you could do so much in a few seconds. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
