GIP

*sigh*

I love Queer as Folk (UK). It's absolutely perfect. The story of Vince and Stuart is a glorious and wonderful one. They're fantastic.

And if not, it'll be Vince's own fault, as Stuart showed willing on more than one occasion.

On the other hand, all the rumors are true, as I recall.

It's a toss-up for me, because part of me simply adores the idea of Stuart shagging his way across the States. Who could resist him? Who would want to?

If I became a man for a day, having a shag with Stuart would be the first thing on my list (because in a world where I can magically become a man for a day, Stuart would exist as a real person).

He always looks like he's having the most fantastic time in his life when he's having sex. This is probably why I never got attached to Brian of the US series -- he lacked Stuart's sheer enthusiasm for sex. Stuart may not always be the most handsome man in the room, but he's always the sexiest.

Amen :-)

He's not always the most technically attractive, but he is always the sexiest.

And you're right, there's just something missing in Brian that Stuart had by the bucketload :-)

Joie de vivre. That's Stuart, aye. What he does, he does with his entire self. And that's dead sexy.

Stuart always reminded me of a predator. From that first scene where he walked up to Nate. He was just... STALKING rather than walking.

I love QAF UK.

Oh, yes. I love how he glances over at Nathan, then continues to move on... then he pauses and glances back over. Assessing his prey of the night.

And Stuart's walk is truly a thing of beauty.

Oh that's exactly why I prefer Stuart to Brian; Stuart is having sucha great time. I love his gleeful little boy smile, too. Season 1 Brian is so filled with ennnui that I wanted to slap him sometimes.

I realize they are different character with different backstories, but still...I prefer the original.

And I think in the best of all possible worlds, Vince got his shag one day.

And Stuart's nicer than Brian, too. In the UK, it's Stuart who thinks to clean out Phil's porn stash. In the US version, they give the equivalent job to Michael and Em. Stuart talks big, but his friends are willing to take the piss out of him at all times, especially Vince. He just doesn't think sometimes ("How's Peter?" "Still dead.").

Stuart's a good person who just likes to have lots and lots of sex. And he didn't hate straights like Brian does -- he just didn't really care. And he casually insults 'the lesbians', but he casually insults everyone. That's just who he is, and all the wonderful stuff that he also is balance all that shite out. I really understand Vince's devotion to Stuart, because we see that Stuart is just as devoted to him. It feels equal in a way that Michael and Brian don't, at least not to me.

And re: the shag, yeah, I think they did. But snarky best friends who end up together sleeping together are my kink.
