Queer as Folk (UK) just has the most perfect moments.

In any show that I desperately adore, I must have a relationship to love as both a friendship and something else. Friendship with the edge of the physical. It can be nice to have that friendship actually transition to a relationship, but I don't need it -- witness my still pure devotion to Buffy and Xander. I adored their tumultuous friendship as much as I could have any love affair.

But, on occasion, it's nice to have that relationship consummated, as it was in Dawson's Creek. Which was utter teen soap, but, in the end and after much frustration, it was satisfying teen soap. Joey and Pacey had the perfect infuriating love. They were so good for each other, but they had to work through the poison of their respective relationships with Dawson and the ending made me very happy, thank you.

Before that, I adored Lois and Clark in The New Adventures of Superman.

And QaFUK... I just adore it. The fact that the ending was left wide open, but that love (consummated or not) between Vince and Stuart isn't in question. Whatever they do, they'll be together, whether it be as friends or something else.

That's the same sort of strength that I see in Daniel and Jack's relationship. In Buffy and Xander's. Benton Fraser and Ray Kowalski's. They can piss each other off more than anyone else in the world, but they always have each other's back.

And I think I'll go watch a bit more QaFUK before I go to bed.

"It was good enough for me."

That's what I love about the ending of QaF - it was never ever known if the relationship became a physical one, but it didn't matter because the love was there. It was as if Stuart, after years and years of hedonism, had finally realised that what matters more is love and friendship. Love it.

The whole 'It was good enough for me' is one of my favourite scenes ever - maybe even my favourite scene in any show. I love it that much.

Aww! I was just about to post just to say thank you, because I just get unreasonably happy any time anyone mentions Stuart and Vince, and "It was good enough for me," is a scene that I never, ever get tired of. Then I saw the music you were listening to and couldn't help a big goofy grin. They are just... *squee!* So good.

God, I love your journal. Even though I'm not that familiar nor enthusiastic about Buffy, your insight into all the tv shows I love make me want to squeal out loud sometimes. Mostly I just keep squeaking yes and exactly repeatedly to myself when I read your entries.

This entry brought to you by the endless amount of squee resulting from seeing QaFUK!babble on my friendspage. :D
