ste_noniI could really ramble on, but here are my thoughts in no particular order.
I absolutely loved the last scene with Jennifer and Justin. I was so struck with how far they had come in their relationship since the very beginning. I loved that she accepted him so completely and I loved that her fears for Justin re: Brian never came true.
I loved all the call backs to earlier seasons, but I also like The Girl in Question, so no surprise there. One of my favorites was Emmett and Drew walking into the club. Speaking of Emmett, I like the way they ended his story - still with his best friend Teddy, and then there was Blake! I was just saying to myself that I wish Ted and he had ended up together.
I love that Ted and Brian became closer towards the end.
While the romantic in me wanted a big gooey wedding for Brian and Justin, it would not have been true to their characters. I couldn't really buy Brian *wanting* to get married, although I did believe he would do a lot for Justin. In my mind, Justin will go off to NY, Brian will accept his aging, and in a few months, they will be back together.

smonsterbite, this is practically your post.) The wedding invitation scene was priceless.
I was happy that it ended at a club with all the glitter and dancing. This show really grew up in its 5 seasons. Like real people, it spent less time in the club and more time in everyday life. But the heart of QaF was in the thumpa thumpa and I'm glad they ended it that way.
I will really really miss this show. It was not the best written show I've ever fallen in love with but it had something special. Of course, there was the hot sex, but it was more than that. I'm not gay, but this show felt connected to me somehow. I feel a bit bad saying that because I have certainly never had to deal with hard parts (or any part) of being gay. I think what I loved so much was the fact that these people created their own family. There was so much love, even when they hated each other. They were a family, just not a traditional one. I loved what Michael said at the end about all families not needing to look identical. I've only come close to that once in my life but it was wonderful while it lasted.

Don't feel bad for saying that! This show was not *just* for gay people, and I think it's awesome that you connected with it.

Me too.
I have a ficlet to send you that one of my friends wrote - I'm trying to
forceconvince her she needs an LJ. I'll forward you the email.
