Queer As Folk Recap, Episode 1.20

Mar 02, 2014 16:38

Closing in on the end of the first season! Today's offering is another one of the set piece episodes, which is something the show does well. But it's also one of the Morality Theme episodes, which is something the show doesn't do well. Music, fun, excitement, and a cast of dumbasses running around in it. What's not to love?

Nice recap. Good to have another after so long. Hope there will be more.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm taking a week off this week, so there may well be one or two more recaps in the not-so-distant future.

Your recaps for QaF are absolutely top notch and they've been my constant companion since I started this series. Your insight into the characters and your commentary are deeply thoughtful, often hilarious, and always spot-on.
I'm almost frightened now to venture forth to episode 1.21 as I shall now be on my own and without your reflections to serve as the dessert to each episode. I will fear not, though, and take the lessons I have learned here and apply them to determining when Justin as a character catches up to my love of his concept. And when Lindsay begins to resemble all the wonderful traits that we're assured she has.
Thank you so much for what must be hours worth of work put forth here- each and every one was wonderful!

Hi there, anon! Thank you for this. It makes my day, hearing that people are actually out there enjoying these recaps. I was inspired, and sure enough, Episode 1.21 is up now! Hope you like it.

Oh my goodness, and 1.22! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your recaps absolutely made the first season for me because I love your perspective on so many things- for instance, I couldn't figure out why I was so 'meh' on Vic's court case, but you nailed it. It was pretty boring, it involved Vic sliding well into self-pity, and it seemed like an excuse for us to see Melanie in court.
I'm on season 2 now and I hope you find time to continue your recaps bit by bit because I would love your take on it. The changes in the tone in the aftermath of the bashing are incredibly interesting and the growth in a lot of the characters so far is pretty profound too. You're much better at putting all of this into words than I am. Kudos on a fantastic full season of recaps!

Thank you! I'm definitely looking forward to Season Two. I think that one is my favorite season of all of them. It manages the best balance between the interesting, the entertainingly wacky, and the utterly terrible, and it features two of the characters who are nearest and dearest to my professional heart, Ben the college professor and Ethan the musician. (I'm an ethnomusicologist, for full disclosure.)
