whoo hoo hoo....the first season of queer as folk (the us version) is gonna be out on dvd in january...i've already pre-ordered it from amazon.com...hopefully season 2 will continue the trend they had of each episode being better than the ones previous...yeah, there are problems with the show, but i think what it really boils down to is that these are very realistic characters and some of them aren't very likeable - brian's an asshole, but ya know what, there are quite a few guys out there like him...and i know there's been a consistent gripe from some of the lesbo communities out there about the fact that there's only 2 lesbos on the show, but i really don't have a problem with that...my problem was with the fact that the token lesbos in the show were so 2-dimensional...and that certainly changed as the season went on...regardless of all the criticism, i think it's a very realistic show, a funny show, and one that can really tug at the ol' heartstrings...
