QAF has done a lot of good things for me and for the gay community as well..."reality bites" i should say. it had made me more prouder of myself and a made me stronger person.
QAF has given us the chance to be heard and to be seen by those people who have always misunderstood us, people who doesn't want to accept reality. it has given us the voice to say that no matter what happens.... we gays would always be here and forever we will exist!!!!
and although the final season has come to end... still, the battle for RESPECT and DISCRIMINATION in the real world would always continue for us gays and as for us, i hope that we should remember the real essence of the show, it's not about drugs, the sex, and the clubbing... it's more about having "true friends and supportive family" which would accept us for what we are and not because of what other people might think and say. accepting each others weaknessess and being there when it seems that everybody has turned their back on you.... this is what the shows all about.
i will really miss this guys and they will always be a part of me because they made me realize that weather your a guy or a gal or simply in between.... everybody has it's own privilege to have a better and normal life.... proud to be one:)

I "asked jeeves" if QAF season 5 had been released on DVD yet, and found your review. Needless to say, I stopped reading pretty quickly -- I'm living overseas and my only chance to see the final season will be when it comes out on DVD. I don't want to spoil my enjoyment (please please let season 5 be better than seasons 3 and 4!), but I did want to ask you and other readers if the final season DVDs have been released? Much appreciate your help!!

they cannot make up their minds. pretty pathetic since the season has been done for numerous months already.

I was dissappointed with the ending simply because I think back on all the changes Brian was making slowly, and to get that far to simply go back to the beginning again dissappointed me. I mean, he went to his prom, cried for him, punched Michael for him, sold all his stuff to fight against Stockwell, sold his condo, etc... There's sooo many more that I didn't mention. But if he went through all that, then they should have shown how one person can truly change you for the better with love. I LOVE QAF though!!!!!!!
And by the way, (LEATHERBUTCH)the only actual gay people from the show are Randy Harrison (Justin) and Peter Paige (Emmett). They said so on Larry King... :)

Ever a true romantic, I refuse to accept that Justin left at the end. Although I know it happened, I have it on tape and cannot bring myself to watch it. And this is July 2007. I do that with lots of movies & shows, stop when I can't bear any more. I absolutely cannot watch the end of Legends of the Fall, Gone With the Wind...

I recently finished the whole 5 seasons of Queer as Folk. And now, I need to accept that it has ended. I felt really sad. It's like seeing your good friends waving good byes (sigh).
This series has taught me so many things about life and love, sex and fun, companionship and acceptance.
This show really made a great impact in my life. I hope, I could still see them (the cast) on other shows.
To Mark Runyon, thanks for this blog. :) Nice job!
