(new recap posted every Tuesday or Weds)

The series ends.

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

So would Brian jump off a cliff if Justin told him to?
I think maybe he already has.
What's up with Ted's new boyfriend?
More importantly, why introduce this storyline in the penultimate episode?
What did Deb's T-shirt say?
I think it said "How about Never? Is Never good for you?"

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

Why didn't we get to see more of Lindsay and Melanie reuniting?
Because Showtime hates me.
Has Brian gone mad?
Yes. Stark raving.
What did Deb's T-shirts say?
No T-shirts this time, but she was wearing a necklace that said "SEXY."

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

What are they trying to do to Michael this season?
I dunno, but I think they're trying to drive me mad.
Will Justin ever get over himself?
We'd need at least thirty more episodes for that to happen, not three.
What did Deb's T-shirts say?
"Do I look like a people person?" and "Do they ever shut up on your planet?"

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

Is Brian really going to give in to all the pressure to "grow up"?
I can't even think about it. It's a travesty.
Why won't Lindsay just get down on her knees and beg already?
My, wouldn't that be fun!
What did Deb's T-shirt say?
"I don't repeat gossip, so you'd better listen close."

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

Why are they dragging out the Lindsay/Melanie thing?
It's easier than writing an actual storyline for them.
Is that really it for Justin and Brian?
I have a feeling that'll never be it.
What did Deb's T-shirt say?
"Give 'em an inch, they want all ten." Or twelve. I couldn't quite see.

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

Why was Ted so nice to that guy from the gym?
He's Ted. Try to accept it.
Is there hope for Melanie and Lindsay?
I say yes. But what do I know? I'm a sucker.
What did Deb's T-shirt say?
I think it just had a picture of a pink plate on it.

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

Why is Justin suddenly wanting Brian to change?
The better question is why didn't Brian see this coming?
Why is Michael suddenly being nice?
I guess sometimes the character inconsistencies swing the right way.
What did Deb's/Loretta's T-shirt(s) say?
Nuthin'! We got nuthin' this time!! Unless I missed it in the midst of all the drama-rama.

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

Why didn't anyone talk Ted out of the nip and tuck?
Maybe they were hoping it would fix the mope and whine.
Why is Brian still Michael's friend?
Old habits die hard, I guess. Or maybe "hard" is the wrong word here.
What did Deb's/Loretta's T-shirt(s) say?
"Life is a bowl of fairies" and "It's a fine line between lesbian and hockey mom."

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

Did Deb really quit her job?
Looks like it. But nothing's ever what it looks like on this show, except for Brian.
Could Ted be more annoying?
No.
What did Deb's T-shirt(s) say?
One had a picture of a tea kettle on it and said "Caution: under pressure." Another had a recycling symbol on it and said "I've been used."

THIS WEEK'S QAF FAQ:

Is Scott Lowell (Ted) wearing a fat suit or did he really gain that much weight?
I'm not sure. His paunch could be prosthetic, but that double chin looks awfully authentic.
Why is Melanie being so evil?
I think I might be asking myself this all season long.
Why is Michael being such a jerk?
It's all about the drama, baby.
What did Deb's T-shirt(s) say?
One said "Stop whining: you're making my cat horny!" I couldn't tell what the second word was on the Pinot shirt. Sigh.
