Queer as Folk thoughts
I'm still not around much and it look like I'll be working six days a week when school starts. So, there's no time or energy for thoughtful posts; just random thoughts.
I'm watching QaF. I d/led it ages ago and never got the urge to watch. But ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
jans_intentions (formerly sexymermaid)'s been writing QaF in Noir and Forbidden Fruit/No Other Way and I decided I wanted to get to know Brain, Justin, and Michael. Over the last week I've watched the first season. Here are my (scattered) thoughts:
--I've been Michael in another life. You just gotta love him. He just gives and gives and gives (not just to Brian). I was in therapy for years to break myself of that habit.
--Justin really is more mature than Brian (I loved it when Justin actually told Brian that).
--I'm still totally torn about Michael and David. I like David. And, I loved when David told Brian "I want him more than you don't want me to have him". I also loved that he danced for King of Babylon. I am fascinated by the "kept man/woman" air of Michael/David. As a woman I've dealt with some of the same issues and always felt like Michael did--like a pampered pet. I'm happy they worked things out (although I'm sure season two will change that).
--I've known Brian many times in my life. And, loved him every single time. I wish my Brians had been as bottom-line caring as this one is though.
--Brian trying to off himself in the last ep was too predictable for me. I guess it's because I'm old. My life started at 30 and although it's sometimes mundane, it's never boring.
--I was totally shocked at how the season ended. Although, in my heart I knew it couldn't end with the perfect "Last Dance" scene.
--I am *so* into buddy shows. Buddies that always come through. Hence: My Boys and Entourage.
--I was happily surprised at the amount of sex and nudity in the show. It was nice to see people get of bed "the morning after" and not have any clothing on. (Honestly, are there women who sleep in their bras?) Beautiful bodies. Very beautiful bodies. And, I've never seen so many penises (peni?) before. I also found the sex to be a lot more sexy than most p*rn. Most p*rn is tab A into slot B, but truly sexy stuff has a healthy dose of thought and premeditation.
--If one of my sons grows up to be gay, I want to channel Debbie. She rocks!
Thoughts are all done. Keep up the good writing everyone! I read when I can and try to remember to save the stuff I don't have time for at the moment.
