Queer as Folk Recap Post, Season One, Episode One.

[amelialourdes]

This originally started as such a simple project but again I just got too involved.

Let’s get this party started! We, sakesushimaki, are hosting a Queer as Folk rewatch right here on our journals! You guys know that I’ve been getting really nostalgic lately for the good ol’ days (as they were to me) so I’ve been aching to rewatch the series. What better time

Hmm. I can see them. But I just never know with LJ. I'll try another site.

Good! :)

Oh, this post was such a lovely treat on this sunny Saturday morning. Thank you.
When I watched 101 for the first time, I kept thinking: This show will probably ruin me for any other show. And it did, but I wouldn't want it any other way. <3

Justin’s first groan after he starts sounds really painful, doesn’t it? Good job, Randy.
Definitely. Watching it still makes me flinch a little.

[amelialourdes]

You're welcome! Glad that you enjoyed it.

You're right. This show certainly ruined me for just about everything I've seen since then. I couldn't be happier though having it in my life and everything that it's brought me. And that's why we get the warm and fuzzies remembering it!

Watching it still makes me flinch a little.

And then it got REAL good, REAL fast. :D

Great work, especially with putting the pics up, I'd be too lazy to even consider doing that! I hope this will get me to do an organised re-watch, external structure should work for me, the once I tried I only got through 2 episodes, which is shameful.

But what this post is missing is you! Where are your opinions? Or maybe you have said it all?

My 101 re-watch half-baked meta is here:

QUOTING FROM YOUR RECAP ENTRY:

Oh how incredibly cheesy is your arrival
Haa! I do a mix of a chuckle-lipbite-headshake every time at that scene.

is Brian's face when he says "But I don't remember anymore" after recounting his story with the gym teacher a little sad and hard?
Thank you. And I'm either really a dork or am just suppressing something, but... does that "I don't remember anymore refer to

the whole story sounds more abusive to me than sexual and fun, regardless of what Brian makes of it after all the time.
And thank you again. I felt that vibe, too, but I mainly blame it on my borderline paranoia with that topic.

I can't for the life of me see much connection between them later on
Waah! This!
Didn't I just write that somewhere? *searches thread*

[amelialourdes]

Thanks! I don't know, I really like picspams. When I see a picture it just makes me want to watch that moment again or I see something in pictures that I didn't see while I was watching the show. It's fun to do too because you look through a bunch of pictures.

I scattered my opinions throughout. It's more like what I thought (originally) while watching the show and what I thought during the rewatch, catching things that I hadn't caught before. But, I think the next one I do will be more detailed.

Yay for recaps. The magic of that first episode never ends, does it? I love it sooooooo much! Brian and Justin are "there" right from the beginning! Inevitable!!!

[amelialourdes]

It really, really doesn't! The chemistry between the two is so palpable. I don't know how anyone can deny it.

[kiabear]

OMG, this totally made my night!! Memories!! I might have to re-watch the seasons, too. Then maybe I can finally bring myself to finish the last season. Sniffle.

[amelialourdes]

You're only four years late with the last season. You can catch up! I believe in you! Hee.
