butterflyQueer 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."

Date: 2005-02-09 08:58 pm (UTC)Ares and Xena really snuck up on me, too. They were so smart-ass with each other for so long, and then came the episode where Xena died, and he knelt beside her and started rocking himself over her body, and... yeoww. Everything about them is OTT, but it worked. Like a... Greek tragedy, or something. ;-)
