QAF - the pilot

by Robyn Charles

And I lied. I’m totally going to review this show episode by episode! The series pilot begins with a two episode show, full of introductions and foreshadowing. You meet Michael, Emmett, Ted, and Brian - four friends bonded by their love of men and one another. Within the first fifteen minutes, however, you meet the young man who will affect all of their lives permanently/

Justin is a seventeen year old who is just figuring out how to come out, and decides Brian is just that way. As Brian sets out to bed this hot young twink, he gets a call that Lindsay has had her baby. Melanie and Lindsay, the show’s resident lesbians, have been given sperm by Brian, and the three are now the proud parents of a baby boy they name Gus. In a moment that even I didn’t realize was forshadowing until I rewatched the show, Brian and Michael hug while the lyrics “what have you done today to make you feel proud?” play in the backround (I won’t tell you why that’s forshadowing).

The evening ends with Brian and Justin finally having lots and lots of sex, while Michael resigns himself to porn.

In the morning, with Brian and Michael driving Justin to school in a car with “faggot” spray painted on it, you think the episode is over, but there’s more!

You discover Michael is in the closet at his Walmart-esque job, which causes a ton of issues as the season progresses. Melanie and Lindsay ask Brian to sign a life insurance policy, and Justin goes looking for Brian. Then we get to meet Deb and Vic, Michael’s mother and uncle, with the episode ending shortly after.

Such a good series, and so much packed into one episode. The writers start everything out with questions, such as:

will Brian and Justin be together again?
does Michael really think he can stay in the closet at work for long?
can I please see more of Emmett, the big Nelly Queen I love so much?

And a thousand more, so stay tuned as we get to know the men of Liberty Avenue!
