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?

Some thought that the "new" boy was supposed to show how everything sort of repeats, there's a new kid in town coming out just like Justin did all those years ago. Not that they were linking it to Brian, just that there will always been new comers, etc.

I totally agree with that. I think that scene was just meant to show another young gay boy arriving on Liberty, ready to discover himself.

I always imagined he was meant for Brandon, lol :)

Not that I was overly fond of Brandon, but that's great. :D I never considered that before.

Me neither, at all, lol. But that's the one thought that gives him purpose in my head!

I can see Brian patting Brandon's back going, "You are so fucking doomed." :D Lol.

I'd heard that he was supposed to run into Brandon, thereby starting the cycle again.

WTFever.

I've watched S5 about 3 times, it took awhile, but it doesn't bother me. I kinda get why they had Brian revert to S1 Brian, so that was okay, but I will never be able to wrap my head around Mel and Linds moving to Canada. Maybe it was C/L's way of paying homage to the city that hosted them for 5 years, but it was a fucking copout of epic proportions. Why was Brian wrong to not want his son taken to another country!? Lindsay spent 5 years wanting Brian to be a dad to a kid that they ALSO made him give up rights to, only to say "You're mean for wanting him to stay, what about the BOMBS!?!?"

OMG, don't get me started on that fucked up storyline!

Still, I had no reason to believe that Brian and Justin weren't together at the end. They were. Justin had to go make his way, I get that. But the thought that he and Brian broke up...nope.

AND spent 5 years basically telling him to commit to Justin and then when he did decided that Justin had to go away. Whether it was the right thing for Justin to do or not, the timing was shitty at best and I want to smack S5 Lindsay for perpetuity.

Still, I had no reason to believe that Brian and Justin weren't together at the end. They were.

This. Thank you for the beautiful sanity :):)
