Queer As Folk (Potential Spoiler Alert)

:smack: That’s holier-than-THOU.

At least I got it right the second time.

Of course Michael yelling for help could be to help him rescue somebody else.

They’ll probably kill one of the lesbians. Nobody watches them anyway. Hell, even Debbie probably wouldn’t know whether it was the blonde one or the Jewish one until she got to the coffin and looked in… “Oh, that one, damned shame… where do I put the ravioli?”

Or it could be her husband the cop who dies.

What I hate about Michael (other than Hal Sparks, smirking little no-talent monkey) is that he wants some Brian ass so bad he can’t see straight, but convinces himself it’s platonic love. Why any lover would put up with that is beyond me.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Justin killed if it just had to be somebody. He’s the most annoying character on the show after Michael.

I’ll agree Justin can be a little hard to like sometimes, but he’s alright. Hell, even Hunter grew on me.

But all this Mikey-hatin’ upsets me. :frowning:

I attribute most of Justin’s annoyingness to his age. He’ll grow out of it as he matures. It’s too late for Michael, it seems. He should have stayed gone with the good Doctor.

Yes, but when I wrote that, I didn’t know yet about the Babylon fire-bombing. Then you told me about the scenes for next week, but I was just explaining my reasoning for initially picking Hunter.

You’re right, it would be strange to have Hunter show up at Babylon just in time to get blown up. Plus, Hunter’s not really a major character. His death would certainly upset everyone, especially Ben, but it wouldn’t really devastate the whole group.

Has he really gotten himself back together? It seems like now he finally has, but up until the last couple episodes, he’s still been screwing with everything. He came out of drug rehab and formed an unhealthy dependancy on his old boyfriend/drug counselor, then he started overeating, then became obsessed with his body & got massive “work” done on himself. It’s only now that he seems to be leveling out. It would be just his luck, as soon as he’s got himself together, he gets blown up.

That’s Ted all over…

My two cents:

My theory is that it’s Drew that dies. Maybe I’m overly dramatic but all that possible foreshadowing in the last episode had my gears turning. Emmett keeps referring to Drew as “my hero” and Drew kept going on about how teammates stick together and help/protect eachother. He told Emmett he was on “his team” So I think Drew will die or be seriously injured saving others in the exlposion. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

That was terrible! Shame on you!
:stuck_out_tongue:

I’m supposed to resist the biggest, juiciest straight line I’ve seen in MONTHS?!

HAH! As if!

A second vote for Drew. It’s the most dramatic story line.

They have made a point about Drew’s never having been to Babylon, and Emmett had that fantasy episode where he brings Drew to Babylon and everyone is shocked and drooling over him.

Could be. In real life, football players don’t successfully come out, so it makes sense that Drew’s coming out will have to end poorly.

I’m planning on hating the show after that, though.

This was, believe it or not, one of my father’s favorite jokes:

Man 1: Did you hear they just elected a new Pope? He’s Irish.

Man 2: Oh really?

Man 1: No, O’Reilly.
Daddy was many things, but… wacky and zany weren’t two of them.

Oops- ignore the above, it was meant for another forum.

Well none while they were still playing. Esera Tuaolo, David Kopay and Roy Simmons are former players who left the closet after their playing days.

That’s pretty much what I meant. I won’t pretend I know much about the football world, but from what I’ve read, those players that came out are pretty much “dead” to the football community. Which doesn’t bode well for Drew.

Maybe I wasn’t paying attention, but from the previews, I didn’t get the idea anybody…well, at least any of the main characters…die. I think the blast is designed to get media coverage to swing the vote on Prop 14. Then again, my earlier reference to The Front Runner (anybody who hasn’t read it, should - quite good in a romance novel kind of way)…anyway, I would suggest if anybody gets offed, it would be Drew for the same reason…big tough football player gets killed and only after he dies do his teammates realize they were wrong and they come together to defeat Prop 14.

All speculation on my part, but with only 5 episodes left, they gotta do something dramatic other than show Debbie delivering cannolli.

Well maybe if she delivered them vaginally…

Now I’m all curious about those scenes, which I don’t have on tape along with the ep. My POS through-the-TV program guide is so deficient that it has no synopsis for an ep that’s going to air in 18 hours. No synopsis on the website other than a reminder that Cyndi Lauper will be performing (yay! which I forgot about from the previews).

I don’t think anything’s going to happen to Drew (at least nothing fatal) because Emmett’s already done the dead boyfriend thing with George. I much prefer the idea of icing Michael because a) he’s irritating, b) it would send Ben the rest of the way over the edge and c) it would shake things up enormously.

Thanks for imbedding that into my brain. I will now never be able to eat another cannolli again.

And yes, if Michael and/or Ben were to die, my SO and I would stand up and cheer…and as far as that goes, let’s hope they take that annoying interracial set of new neighbors with them.

I don’t know where this sudden media urge to show Gay couples adopt (QAF and Six Feet Under) has come from. Not a single Gay or Lesbian friend of mine has ever expressed any desire to adopt, and the only ones I know with children had them with previous relationships before they came out.

Brian has never been a sympathetic character to me, but his contempt of the “happy little Gay family suburbs” makes me like him a whole lot more.

Brian takes his contempt too far though. There’s nothing wrong with wanting a husband and a hiuse in the 'burbs. Brian makes the mistake of being unable to differentiate between “wrong” and “wrong for me.”
