getithereHi, 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?

Re: "the love of his life"

I love S1 - S3, where I don't think there are great inconsistencies, but by S4/5 there are, and I can't help thinking that it is because CowLip kept tabs on the fans via the Showtime forums. They realised that there were at least two camps among the most ardent fans, so they tried to keep both interested to some extent. Just idiotic! They should have had greater personal integrity. Either go the UK QAF path (though I think Stuart and Vince were more "Thelma and Louise" rather than romantically intertwined" - nevertheless CowLip could have taken that approach), or throw out the occasional Brian/Michael subtext altogether.
