Queer As Folk
recap: Season Five, Episode Seven
(original air date 26 June 2005).
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.
Babylon
— I should be tired of seeing Brian glide through
the room in slo-mo, but I'm not. But other people are: as
Brian sidles across the dance floor, he hears others talking
about Hot Guy, especially Hot Guy's "beautiful cock."
Hot
Guy sees Brian; their eyes meet, and Hot Guy sort of smirks
and rolls his eyes. Make him pay for that, Brian! In a completely
non-sexual way. Yeah, right.
The
empty nest — Ben is sitting in Hunter's room,
moping. I know it's hard to tell — because he always
has a mopey face — but I think he's pretty sad this time.
Ben
and Michael wonder what they could have done to keep Hunter
with them, but they know he was determined to go. I know what
you could have done: you could have stopped chewing the scenery
for one frickin' minute. Oh, let me correct that: you don't
always overact. Sometimes you underact.
Operatic
— Ted is still fucking that guy — the one
he was supposedly going to get revenge on. He seems to be
enjoying it; so much so that he's playing Bizet in the background.
My my.
The
gym — Emmett can't believe Ted hasn't gone through
with the revenge plan. But Ted is enjoying the "delicious"-ness
of it all. Brian is on Ted's side for a change: the more fucking,
the better.
Emmett:
"I say screw your courage to the sticking place."
Brian: "Better yet: just screw."
Lindsay's
apartment — Lindsay's mom is appalled by Lindsay's
living situation. She convinces Lindsay to move back in with
her parents so that Gus can get to know his grandparents and
Lindsay can get her life back together. Oh boy.
The
diner — Emmett is grousing about his producer
again; he says that they can all call him a "homoineffectual"
now. Never, Em!
Mel
points out that it could get worse: a "citizens' action
group" has gotten a proposition on the state ballot,
hoping to "dissolve a wide range of contracts between
same-sex couples."
Deb:
"Goddamn right-wing fucks!"
Amen.
The
comic shop — Michael and Justin are talking
about the scary proposition, and how it would undo Ben and
Michael's domestic bliss. If Brian were here, he'd make a
pun about "propositions," but he's not, so the scene
is just boring.
Viable
options — Lindsay is telling Mel about her plan
to move back to her childhood home. Melanie scoffs a lot,
as only she can, and points out that Lindsay's family basically
disowned Linds for being gay.
Lindsay:
"It is possible for people to change."
Melanie: "People, yes. Your parents,
no."
Can
I get another amen?
Lindsay
thinks she owes it to her parents to at least consider their
offer, since they seem to be willing to admit they were wrong,
and learn from their mistakes. Are you talking about your
parents, or yourself? Mel's thinking the same thing. So she
sighs — for once she doesn't snap back, so I sigh too,
in relief.
Still
operatic — I can't really begin to describe
all of the positions that Ted and T(r)oy are exploring, because
some of them defy gravity. This time the music is Ride of
the Valkyries, which cracks me up.
In
his post-coital state, Ted imagines Emmett and Brian playing
angel and devil again — to fuck or not to fuck, that
is the question. Ted's going with the former.
