לקוח מאתר קנדי- לא היה לי כוח לתרגם You get the sense that the world has been stood completely on its head--when you find that Ted Schmidt seems to be the only one happy and content. At this point in the story, while the potentially, pervasive impact of “Proposition 14” looms, Brian has fallen out with both Justin and Michael, Hunter has hit the road for parts unknown, and, at their therapists’ suggestion, estranged Lindsay and Melanie are living communally in the same house they used to share as partners. Which brings us to Episode No. 508 of Showtime’s hit series, “Queer As Folk”. Welcome to the First (And Last) Great American F*#k-Off! Pillsbury never sponsored a competition quite like this one. Brandon and Brian have each made their own independent listings of the “10 Hottest Guys In Pittsburgh”. The competitor who is able to vanquish his complete listing first, supported by properly signed affidavits, will be considered to be the “top man”. The first runner-up must subordinate himself to the winner. At the top of the episode, both Brian and Brandon are shown stroking through their respective listings. With each having six conquests under their belts, they are on the home stretch with four remaining. They convene in Woody’s to top-up their fluids and to check out each other’s progress. Justin has rented a grotty one-room apartment, with some financial assistance from Michael. The two of them wrestle a mattress into the dump. Exhausted from climbing the flights of stairs, the two of them flop onto the mattress. Justin fesses up that it was time he moved on because he would never get what he wanted from Brian. He also laments that Brian and Michael’s friendship is troubled. However, Michael assures Justin that he has nothing to be sorry for because it is Brian who is culpable for the current estrangement between the two of them. As Carl Horvath anxiously awaits the sandwich that Debbie is busy preparing, a puzzled Emmett enters the kitchen having just responded to another anonymous hang-up on his cell phone. With his popularity as the “Queer Guy” on the local Channel 5 newscast, Debbie is certain that it must be a stalker. She turns to her favourite detective for support of her theory and tactical advice for the victim. When Carl downplays the possibility, Debbie snatches the sandwich from his hungry grasp before he even gets one bite. Meanwhile, Michael has a peaceful visit with Melanie and Lindsay and baby, Jenny Rebecca. Over at Kinnetik, Ted enters Brian’s office and invites him to join him for lunch or drinks after work. He is relentless in trying to get Brian to open up to him, until Brian finally confesses: “My mother’s a frigid bitch. My father was an abusive drunk. They had a hateful marriage, which is probably why I’m unwilling or unable to form a long-term relationship of my own. The fact that I drink like a fish, use drugs and have more-or-less redefined promiscuity doesn’t help much. As a result, I’ve lost the two people in my life who mean the most to me.” Brian is snapped from this moment of reflection, and is greatly cheered, when “Number Nine”, from his “Top Ten” arrives at the office door. Brian dismisses Ted and advises him that his lunch has just arrived. Justin, Melanie, Ben and Corinne are all at the campaign headquarters and are busy working the phones. They share with each other the various responses they are receiving as they canvass citizens for support. They have managed to obtain a roster of corporate sponsors of the opposing side, spearheaded by Reverend Fowler, and Justin is shocked by one name on the listing, in particular. It’s “Taylor Electronics”, his own father’s electronics retail business. As Emmett is heading for home, it appears that Debbie may have been right after all. Sure enough, he is followed and eventually confronted by his stalker--Drew Boyd! The two men return to Drew’s Hummer and he reveals that he has been blackmailed. He shows Emmett the compromising photographs that were taken secretly of Drew and another man, prompting Emmett to ask for duplicates. Over at the campaign headquarters, attractive Corrine asks Melanie out for dinner. At home, Michael is roaming through the house looking for Ben. Michael finds Ben in Hunter’s former room. He is smoking. Michael is surprised by the scene and asks what’s going on. Ben wants to know what happened to the bed missing from Hunter’s room. Defensively, Michael explains that he gave it to Justin. Ben is angry because Michael seems convinced that Hunter will not be returning to them. Impatiently, Michael explains that he feels certain Hunter is gone for good and that Ben may as well accept that reality.
