DAMMIT I was just going to bed and now I have to comment on this entry just BECAUSE. It's QAF!!!!!!!
*sigh* Fandom is hard work sometimes.
BENANDMICHAELSEASON3OMG. The angst. Poor Michael. I'm not sure which hurts me more - the "maybe I should be with a pos guy" scene or the "maybe that pos guy should be me" scene. Michael's face in the first one after Ben says that is so sad, though. And I agree with you about the "Ben suddenly being better" thing. Although there are a few scenes I have never seen, like the one at the end of the needle episode where Ben apologises to Michael and promises he'll stop. I'd like to see that.
he and Michael are still my favourite pairing (^w^) M/B ftw!!! YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE! XD
I have to admit I have never understood bug-chasing, but when I saw the episode where Ben tells Michael he wants to be with another positive guy, I finally understood it. There's more on the bug-chasing in Season 4. And you're right, Ben and Michael's relationship is the only one of its kind on TV, I think so too. I saw an interview with Robert Gant where he was saying how honoured he feels to be able to be a voice for HIV+ people.
Hunter hugging Ben in the last episode was really sweet You know what else was sweet? Michael saying goodbye to Ben!!! I squeed. Many a time.
the whole of that scene which basically amounted to Ted forcing Emmett to take crystal and then attempting rape O_O I NEVER SAW THAT. See, this is what happens when I don't watch shows properly from start to finish! Sounds awful, though. I'm kind of glad I didn't see it. UPSETTING, MUCH?!
Emmett and Ted are so cuuuute, although I haven't actually seen that much of their scenes.
Justin's demonstration when he held up the placards of the gay people killed kinda rocked YES, YES IT DID. BURN, STOCKWELL.
I was just going to bed and now I have to comment on this entry just BECAUSE. It's QAF!!!!!!! YAY!!! XDDD I was totally the same - I was like 'I should go to bed. But QAF needs commenting on!!!' XD
Yeah, both bits with Michael make me so sad, but his sort-of-bugchasing bit actually frightens me. He's so desperate to keep Ben that he's willing to sacrifice his own health DD: But the final scene is sweet - Ben is dressing for the funeral and asks Michael to come with him, and Michael quotes back to him 'It's not my world, I don't belong there.' Ben replies 'You belong with me' and I go squee everywhere XDXD
I don't really mind Ben suddenly being better because I love them being cute together, but it was something I noticed. And I didn't realise there was more bug-chasing, so that's interesting.
Michael saying goodbye to Ben!!! I squeed. Many a time. I know XDD They became such a family by the end of third season, it was so sweet.
O_O I NEVER SAW THAT. Yeah, it was pretty horrendous. Basically Ted forced Emmett to take crystal with him and then kept having sex with him... In the end Emmett asked him to stop which Ted eventually did very reluctantly, but then Ted started verbally abusing him and forced him to give him a hand-job. It was weird and upsetting and also quite frightening. This is part of the reason why I'm really having to psyche myself up to watch that traumatic storyline again. It's sadder seeing those scenes because they are so in love at the beginning of the season. There are a few scenes with them together which are so adorable - especially Emmett's obsession with the word 'lover' rather than partner to refer to Ted, and how that reappears at the end of the season in the argument when they finally split. IT'S SAD DD:
BURN, STOCKWELL. HAHA XDDD I love how it took an entire season, but he ended up majorly pwn'd by Brian. Brian ftw!!! :D
