Before leaving at noon, I read 513. I didn't watch it continuously, I didn't watch it episode by episode at my favorite midnight. I watched it quietly and undisturbed, thinking that there would no longer be such a strong feeling, and that I could be relieved when I knew the result. The result is still heartache. A heartache that I haven't felt in a while.
Brian's solo dance, babely, is enchanted by the lights. Just like the first time I watched it, I felt unspeakable sadness when I saw brain dancing solo on a high stage. The always young, always beautiful brain is doomed to be lonely. But this time, I believe he is happy inside. He's still brain kinney, knows who he is, and has his own reasons to be happy and proud. But he is not the brain anymore, the brain who only believes in fuck but not love has finally tasted the taste of love, pain and sadness but deeply happy.
Mikey was brain's last dance partner as before. The two danced together, smiling and kissing, but the hands around brain's neck wore a subtle and shining ring. Ben's smiling face was under the stage. When the song "our song" and "pround" entered the climax, Mikey walked down, and only brain was left on the highest stage of babylong. The camera swept down, mikey&ben,em&ted, and all the beautiful guys immersed in the music, A blond boy can be seen indistinctly, wearing a gray tee, like the sunshine boy I first saw five years ago - justin. It's just a flash of less than two seconds. It's probably intentional by the director. Not justin is not important. The important thing is that although babylong's gone. But brain's stage will always be in his heart. How can there not be his sunshine there, what about in pittsburg or NY? Mikey is right, "we still surviving".
who we are? are we same to others? does god love us as loves everyone else?how do we look ourself? Throughout the show, the director seems to want to explore this question all the time. And by the end of the episode, I want to say, it doesn't matter.
Like brain said to justin: maybe we see eachother next week or next month, or never again, it doesn't matter.it only time.
mikey & ben, mel & linz finally come together, married, have kid, have a family, as anyone else in this country. are they the same to the others? it doesn't matter.
once discussed with people, the difference between sex & city and qaf, I said the former is a time killer, the latter will change your life. I still think so.
Appreciate the way they are human beings, honest and open, with themselves, others, and life.
Turn off the TV, we live in the real world, maybe not as falulous as the world of qaf, but it's our lives, we'll go on.
In my heart qaf will never fade. I will always be a ber&jer. I will face my life with a smile and try to pursue my dreams.
thank u qaf.

Queer as Folk quotes

  • [Ted and Emmett are at a ski lodge, with Ted just about to blow out his birthday candles]

    Ted: Every year I always wish for the same thing - a boyfriend. Someone to love who'll love me. This year I think I'm gonna wish for something else. The wisdom and maturity to realize that I won't find what I want by looking for it. Not expect someone else to give me what I never gave myself. That I'm not a half waiting to be made a whole. And even if that special person never comes along... I'll be just fine.

    [Suddenly, Blake walks up behind Ted]

    Blake Wyzecki: Ted?

    Ted: Blake?

    Blake Wyzecki: I thought it was you.

    Ted: What are you doing here?

    Blake Wyzecki: I'm on the gay ski team. And it's gay ski week.

    Ted: Right. Uh, you remember...

    Blake Wyzecki: Emmett.

    Emmett: Yeah, wow, what a surprise. And Teddy was just about to hang up his skis.

  • Calvin: Pardon me, but aren't you Emmett Honeycutt, of the Hazelhurst, Mississippi Honeycutts?

    Emmett: Why, yes I am. And you are?

    Calvin: Ah...

    Emmett: Oh, my God. You're Calvin Colpepper! You were on the boys' swim team in high school! I used to go to those meets just hoping your trunks would slip off.

    Calvin: Oh, now...

    Emmett: But I always thought you were, um...

    Calvin: So did I.

    Emmett: So what do you say we go back to my room and reminisce about old times?

    Calvin: There's not that much to reminisce about.

    Emmett: I know.
