Queer As Folk Season 5 Episode 10 I Love You

I will honestly say that this is prob my favorite "I love you" in cinema. There's a strong reason Brian/Justin is one of my favorite couples of all time. The writers took the idea of character arcs + slow burn and said "we will SHOW you what those words mean" as far as Brian goes. It's been building for 5 seasons. Since s1, the audience knows Brian has fallen in love with Justin, & its frustrating that Brian can never say it but, like Justin, you get why and come to accept it and its the end the series so maybe he will really never say it. But then Brian is faced with losing Justin... to death. AGAIN. This is the 2nd time Brian has almost lost Justin permanently, the first time is when Brian admitted to himself he was in love with Justin, and this time is when he could finally bring him to say it out loud. And I think Brian was always TERRIFIED that if he were to say it out loud. He'd lose Justin. But here he is, having almost lost Justin to death once more, and he realized he HAS to say it, because of every reason he never said it before. He's terrified of losing him and he almost did, not because he pushed him away like he always does (which he can accept because Brian is super self-destructive) but because, like in s1, someone almost took Justin away from him violently, and now he doesn't want to lose him ever again, even to his own self-destruction. He just has to say it because he should have a long time ago. And I just really love it. It's such a BEAUTIFUL and well done story and I have so much more to say about it but i have to wait for the final ep of the series for THAT rant lmao

everyone has much more eloquent thoughts so i’ll just agree. this episode is in my top 3 along with the s1 and s3 finales. absolutely perfect episodes of tv. one of my favorite little details that i didn’t notice until a few rewatches in is when brian first gets to babylon after the bombing and he’s looking around, the camera repeatedly pans to anyone blonde, showing how he’s specifically looking for justin.
