Your Qaf recappers are not dead yet! I say again that your recappers are alive and well. amelialourdes and sakesushimaki are not gone and giving up on this project. That said!

sakesushimaki's last recap for Episode 112.
Go and comment, please! Thank you, wonderful ones.

I am using my very own screencaps and will be using them until the end of this. You can find screencaptures for Complete S1 and S2 at www.qafcaps.com. Kid tested, mother approved. (Kix commercial reference).

( This week on Queer as Folk. )

I know you thought that I'd probably just stop doing these but you'd be wrong. What can I say? Sometimes life gets in the way of fandom activities. I hate it when that happens. Ha. But, I think that I'm ready to get back rolling in on this thing and since I disappeared for months then it's only air that sakesushimaki gives you the next recap whenever she feels like it. Right, bb? Right.

Last time on Queer as Folk ...

BRIAN AND JUSTIN HAD HOT HOTEL SEX!

I mean, that's all that happened in 110. Right? Okay. Just thought that I'd refresh your memory. Now on to Episode 11.

( Recap 111 and pictures here! )

I guess I just needed to take a little break from it before I wanted to start posting again. The break that I took wasn't even that long. It was probably all of last week and this weekend. But, I'm back in action and as my first priority in this little place we like to call fandom, I'm pimping.

Now we all heard this terrible rumor about fandom's demise, did we not? I remember I posted this fabulous (if I do say so myself) discussion about pet peeves in fanfic It was really more of a general thing but since I have the Qaf love, a lot of Qaf people chimed in. So, I know you guys exist and want to see fandom chugging on as we've been doing for ages and ages just like I do. All of that said ... there are still challenges and fun, wonderful things for fandom that need more participation (from viewers like you).

Remember that? We have some great fandom things to look forward to but especially during the holidays when everyone (mostly everyone) is feeling warm and fuzzy anyway. Don't you want to have someone gift you something? Don't you want to wake up and find that you have something fandom related in a community just waiting for you to open it?

Sign ups close on October 25th, 2009. That means that I have that much time to ask you to join. Please consider it. Remember how much fun the Valentine thing was? We have these little traditions in fandom that certainly make me feel good and I hope other people feel the same way. Please join! Sign up sheet is right here. It's just waiting for you to click on it. Click. That's all it takes. Let's all have a great holiday season this year fandom. :)

Just had to post something a little bit happier in here and because I said I would post it. Didn't think I would do it, didja? Don't doubt me! Once again, the brill sakesushimaki, will have a new, shiny recap for you soon. In the meantime, here's the other recap that I missed to get you all caught up. The screencaps are mine. I had to take them from a ripped copy so they're kind of crappy but at least they're there. I deal.

( Recap 109 and pictures here! )

I just realized that it's September and that means that it's been some five four years since Queer as Folk ended? Five years, yo. That's a long time. Since I've never been able to let it go then it feels like just yesterday to me. So, because of my inactivity at work, I'm going to have to jump on to that nostalgia bandwagon. Join me for a little while, will you?

- B/J spoilers in the Yahoo Groups (because they had awesome spoilers)
- Andrea's (sandstorm's) site with just the episode clips on them that we got to see ahead of time. Oh man. I was the worst spoiler virgin ever. As soon as I knew those clips were up then I ran to that site and was like, "I'll just look at one ... okay, two. Maybe all of them." I sucked.
- Everyone being secretive about spoiler tapes and yet for some reason like half of us had them. We never told anyone else though. We just knew that we had them and were keeping that to ourselves.
- And with that said ... gotfolk :)
- brianakinney and justintheartist? I was strangely addicted. I hated original characters but Michael Rappaport will always be Brog to me and Ashton Kutcher is Brian's cousin. Forgot his name though. :|
- The fact that Randall never finished The Quiet Men will forever kill me. Well, that and the Season Six he was writing. I shall miss. :(
- Is It May Yet?
- Did anyone go to the summer Babylon events? I went to Ancient Babylon up in Vancouver since you had to be 21 to get into the ones in the States and only 19 to go to the ones in Canada. I got a Qaf shirt there. I was also 19 that year.
- Randy in Wicked and becoming ridiculously obsessed with the musical. My favorite Elphaba is Eden.

Anyone got more?

Almost the six year "anniversary" of when I went to see Peter Paige in La Jolla and Jonathan B. at the premiere of his movie. Oh man. I went through some trauma that weekend. My first time (and last for Jonathan) ever seeing them both and Peter's play was scheduled on the same day as Jonathan's premiere. Thankfully, the playhouse allows you to exchange tickets so I just went on Saturday instead of Sunday. Or one of those weekend days. Crisis averted.

Qaf recap 107 and 109 coming up this weekend!

besame_bj linked people to this manifesto by buckeye5. Only current fandom members need apply. My old school friends can go along their merry way.

I try not to be the worst procrastinator in the world but hey, sometimes I am. That said, here's this week's edition. Screencap grabs from kwaf and last week's episode recap by sakesushimaki is right here!

( Recap 105 and pictures here! )

As I said, Ree joined Luke and Noah fandom and went in full force! When I discovered L/N, all I had to do was look back at her posts and not only was I entertained, I was all caught up and just as interested in the story. "Interested" is an understatement.

Ree first wrote about the pairing on Jan. 22, 2008. Then can the icons and there have been many of them.

The Daytime Emmy Award doodles that she did for the Luke and Noah fandom can be found here.

The thing about Ree is she is the most spoiler-free person I know. If there are spoilers on the 'net, then you keep them away from her. I've tried to do the spoiler-free thing but I am usually unsuccessful. Ree? She is made of STEEL or something else that makes you completely indestructible to the spoilers that roam the net. I didn't think it was possible but Ree has proven that it is possible. Therefore, I will forever remember the day that she willingly broke her spoiler resistance and Luke and Noah are the couple who made her do it. It is an event that is to be written in the reference guide. It happened on January 10, 2009.

Back to Part I
Forward to Part III

You know, I wasn't affected by that "I love you" scene in 510 probably because ... I knew it was happening before it happened (spoilers), I didn't want that bomb to shock Brian into saying it, I'd read so many stories about how it could happen that I just didn't think that that's the way it was going to happen, etc.

But, I just watched it last night repeatedly and I think that it finally hit me. I'm only four years too late but it did finally get to me. I'm off to watch it again.

That's all I have to contribute to your Monday morning. Carry on.

This originally started as such a simple project but again I just got too involved.

Let’s get this party started! We, sakesushimaki, are hosting a Queer as Folk rewatch right here on our journals! You guys know that I’ve been getting really nostalgic lately for the good ol’ days (as they were to me) so I’ve been aching to rewatch the series. What better time to do it than the summer? Shows are on hiatus and I’ve got some time on my hands.

That said, let the recap begin!

( There are a lot of pictures in here. A lot. I am warning you right now. So, click to take a look at them but remember ... I warned you. )

That's it for me! Stay tuned for sakesushimaki's post later next week. Also, would you like some music from this episode? The wonderful friday82 has provided the music that's played in many scenes right here. Hope you enjoyed!

Edit: I'm hosting the pictures on Photobucket so if they disappear then you know why. I'll try to have them back up ASAP if they disappear.
