QUEER AS FOLK - THE FINAL SEASON

Nampaknya, aku habiskan masa raya aku dengan menonton dari satu series ke satu series. Bosan jugak duduk sorang2 kat UTP ni, balik awal2. Tapi, mujurla aku ada dvd to burn my boring time. Do u know Queer As Folk (QAF)? I think, most of us pernah dengar series ni. Yup, i'm a big fan of this series. Series ni takkan ade kat TV Malaysia sebab series ni more than 18sx. Well, dengan adanya internet, apa saja dapat di donlod. Series ni merupakan series dari US based on the original series which aired in UK. But, UK version of QAF tak best sangat. Quite bosan dan setau aku, hanya ada sampai 2nd season je. But different dengan QAk US version yang sampai season 5 dan ini juga merupakan season finale untuk series ni. Aku memang follow series ni from its 1st season until the last season. Lucky for me, my housemate bought the last season and aku just pinjam je. Season sebelum ni, semuanya aku donlod cuma the lasts eason aku tak sempat nak donlod. Lebih2 lagi dengan limited resources kat sini, membuatkan aku malas nak donlod. Banyak sangat halangannya. So, aku amik masa satu hari satu malam untuk buat rally tengok this last season.

Thea Gill as Lindsay Peterson

Bagi aku, series ni, memang best. Memang banyak sex scenes tapi apart from that, the series really have nice plots with good storyline. Aku memang tak sabar-sabar untuk menantikan kesudahan yang berlaku, hasil kesinambungan dari 4th season. Maybe orang akan kata, citer ni tidak mempedulikan sensiviti moral tapi bagi aku, ini hanyalah tv series dan drama. Semuanya fiksyen. Walaupun series ni maybe ada reflect others but itu terserahlah kepada mereka yang menontonnya. Series ini jugak, menunjukkan banyak family values sama dengan series arus perdana. Cuma, aku agak sedih series ni, hanya sampai 5th season coz aku rasa banyak lagi plots dan drama can be developed and it can be last at least until 7th season, just like Sex & The City. (i love that series so much).

Gale Harold as Brian Kinney

The last season still lagi berkisarkan kehidupan 4 orang best friends, Brian Kinney, Micheal Novotny, Emmet Honeycutt and Ted Schmidt. Besides that Justin Taylor, Ben Bruckner, Debbie Novotny, Melanie Marcus & Lindsay Peterson merupakan character yang tidak kurang pentingnya dalam series ni.

Hal Sparks as Micheal Novotny

Micheal & Ben, finally getting married in the 4th season and meneruskan kehidupan mereka sebagai married couple in this last season. Altho thier relationship have ups and downs but somehow they can manage to overcome the problems. Micheal's mother, Debbie really loves her son and accept they way he is, and give her blessing to his son marriage. The couple plan to adopt Hunter as their legally son at the end of the season.

Michelle Clunie as Melanie Carson

Emmet dalam season ni, berjaya landed a role as a Queer Guy at the Channel 5 News. Besides, dia juga berjaya meyakinkan football superstar, to come out from the closet and be himself. Tanpa Emmet sedari, dia menyimpan perasaan terhadap the football superstar. But, Emmet give a chance to the guy to explore his new world before berjumpa semula and continue their relationship.

Randy Harrison as Justin Taylor

Ted masih lagi berasa inferior with everyone and always bersedih dengan his appearance. To boost his confident, he undergo cosmetic surgery. But, still he didnt get what he need. Emmet always come the rescue and comfort him. Sepanjang season, Ted tak henti2 mencari calon pasangan yang sesuai sebelum umurnya 40 tahun. Macam terkena sumpahan, Ted sentiasa tidak bernasib baik until his 40th birthday, the right person akhirnya memunculkan diri.

Robert Gant as Ben Bruckner

Hubungan antara Brian dan Justin masih lagi berterusan. Although his three favorite hobbies are sex, sex and sex, he is also a man who is always there when his friends need him…although he isn't always going to be nice about it. Whether in the boardroom, the bedroom or the backroom, this hot, heartbreaking ad exec tells it like it is…no apologies, no regrets. I know, he do loves Justin but he dont want to express it by words. Justin, dalam masa yang sama cemburukan Micheal dan Ben and want his relationship with Brian will ends like them. Get married, buying house and have children. But Brian still with his arrogant, doesnt care what Justin want. Until the big incident, Babylon bombing really change Brian's attitude. Now, he realize how he really loves Justin and dont want to loose him. Justin becomes increasingly disturbed by this Brian look alike and wants to know what alien has possessed his scintillating body. Brian confessed that he was just trying to be everything he thought Justin wanted. That triggers the similar compromise Justin made concerning forgoing his art career in New York for Brian. Suddenly, they realize that by getting married they'd be forcing each other into becoming something they weren't and neither could snuff out that person they loved so dearly.

Sharon Gless as Debbie Novotny

Altho, they plan to get divorce but at the end mereka berbaik semula. Melanie and Lindsay choose to pick up sticks and high tail it to Canada where everyone is accepting and they don't have to fear for their children's lives.

Scott Lowell as Ted Schmidt

In the end, they stayed true to the characters, and the series needed to leave us with that much more than a sappy ending. After five seasons, I can say I will miss Queer as Folk. It's writing had struggled in recent seasons, signaling that the series had run its course, but there was a lot of heart and good times wrapped up in these characters. Its hard not to think back to that hard hitting first season and remember the show for the potent punch that it once struck, rather than the watered down drama it evolved into.

Peter Paige as Emmet Honeycutt

Altho, the last season end tak seperti yang aku harapkan but the last season memang best. Aku memang berharap, akan ada sambungannya but, as well said, this is the last season. So, aku dah berjaya mengisi masa bosan aku dengan menonton series ni. Kalo korang nak beli, boleh order online tapi housemate aku beli kat KL je. Katanya, memang ada jual tapi aku lupa la pulak kat mana dia beli. DVD set lagi tuh. Sekarang, aku kena buat kerja...daa
