Cowlip's intentions about Brian and Justin

[nightvision55.livejournal.com]

Hi, this is the first time I've posted here so please forgive any mistakes ...

I was just wondering; in the UK original, the focus of the series was the Brian/Michael relationship, and they were the ones who ended up together. So, did Cowlip originally intend that in the US version, and did they just go with the Brian/Justin pairing because they realised how hot the chemistry between Gale and Randy was?

Does anybody know?

Alright, it took me a bit to remember Justin's speech, but this here in 512 "...but I have been to Hollywood. They gushed too, remember? Made a bunch of bullshit promises. What makes you think that New York would be any different? The only one who never broke a promise was you." Made me so incredibly happy when I first watched it. I remember loving the end of this episode and was on such a high all day. (I watched this one at like 6 a.m. before work that day.)

That afternoon I came home to watch the final episode expecting so much after that great setup and it was like the writers decided to rip the heart out of my chest and stomp on it while going, "HAHA YOU WANTED BRIAN/JUSTIN FEEL GOOD MOMENTS, WELL TAKE THIS!"

D: Moments later I joined my first QAF community and found my first QAF post 513 series...and went from there.

Now I sort of avoid Season 5 when I rewatch the episodes. I have my favorite episodes from season 1 and 2, but I tend to watch more season 3 and 4 because that's the basis for most of my one-shots. I've only watched Season 5 twice total, and the second time I ended at 512 because it still gives me a "good feeling" unlike 513 when I felt completely heart broken....

I know others are quite content with the ending of the series, etc. However, like I said I'm weak there's so much that happened at the very end that I kept going 'omg why do this?!?!' but meh....I'll prevent myself from going meta about it. :)
