Yeah, that's from this Advocate cover story. Fun little episode guide and great pics!

Oh, that. LOL. I owned that once. I don't think I ever read it though. Gave it to a cast member who hadn't seen it. Funny. I didn't realize there were editorial comments. I should have kept it. Or at least read it.

Thanks!

Well, now you have to tell us all about the time you gave your magazine to a cast member. Which one? Where, when, how? LOL. We need details! :D

Nothing exciting to tell. Around the time the Advocate QAF issue came out, I was in touch with Thea G about something unrelated to the show and when I mentioned the article, she said she hadn't seen it, but would like to - so I mailed, unread, my copy to the TO studio.

Brian tries to take Justin back to his folks but reconsiders the wisdom of it once be hears that the house rules include no more gay bars.

I think this line sums up all of S1 for me.

I wonder if I would have found this piece as entertaining when it first appeared as I do now. I think my unyielding passion for BJ colored my sense of humor and ability to see the show for what it was.

. I think my unyielding passion for BJ colored my sense of humor and ability to see the show for what it was.

Yeah, I had that issue too. My "humor" during S5 when my eyes were so violently and painfully wrenched open raised a lot of hackles in the True Believers - I was actually told someone had stated she wanted to "strangle" me for my S5 reviews, which were a bit... harsh. Funny, but a tad vicious.

We all took the whole thing way too seriously, but strangling is a bit harsh.

I too have not watched a single episode since it aired. Funny though, I was trying to clean out "My Downloads" and though I had no interest in watching the clips and previews and interviews, I couldn't bear to delete them. Odd. I figure some day my hard drive will die, and then they'll be gone.

By S4, I found it painful to watch any scenes without Gale or Randy, so I doubt I could ever watch a full episode ever again. Still, I remember the passion. It was real. And mostly, it was wonderful.

Fandom friends remain the most worthwhile part of the whole bloody business!

Those were hilarious. I read these a while ago in an article, but they're always worth a second glance -- especially this much later.

Yes! Time and objectivity do wonders.
