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?

It's important to say that the ending of QAF-UK was
also controversial with British fans and critics.

Davies did not want to do the second series and many
believe that he used it as a fuck you to the powers
that be (and the critics, and perhaps even the fans --
see his comments on "Torchwood" especially for his
attitude to fans). The "sci-fi/fantasy" ending was
read by many viewers as a fake-out and not necessarily
Stuart and Vince ending up together -- but more of
a "Thelma and Louise" or "Butch and Sundance" going
out with guns blazing ending. If you've seen that last
ep you'll know what I mean -- it's completely unrealistic
and more like a dream.

Which is why most Torchwood fans want RTD to die in a fire. My god, if I were him, I'd hide, cause man! After Children Of Earth (which I liked, for the most part, except for the Ianto bullshit), boy, people were out with torches and pitchforks!

I call the ending of the UK version the Grease ending. The only part of the ending that felt real to me was Nathan's cell phone upgrade. :)
