I'm just shocked by the depth and fullness of the story they were able to create in 8 episodes. The richness of these characters and their development.

Jonathan Bailey neeeeeeeds an award for his performance. Matt Bomer was stellar and also needs awards.

And when Tim said, “I have loved you my whole life. I’ve never loved anyone but you. You were my great, consuming love. And most people don’t get one of those.”

AND MOST PEOPLE DONt GET ONE OF THOsE!?! Tim saying this after Lucy has spent her entire life with a man who didn’t desire her. Oh, the writing this episode was top tier.

What did you think of Tim deciding to let Hawk go and not die with him by his side? I was kinda expecting that but it was sad because it seemed Hawk was planning on being there until the very end and for me the idea of Tim dying in Hawk’s arms seemed really beautiful and cathartic but also probably would’ve ruined Hawk 😞

I think it would have ruined Hawk and I think Tim knew that. He went through the Jackson experience with Hawk, and even though the death of a child is a different kind of pain, he knew Hawk wouldn't be able to cope. I also think he wanted Hawk to remember him as he was and not what he would have been like at the end. But also the AIDS activism stuff gave Tim something else to focus on. Something to fight for. It gave him a reason to not give up and he needed a reason other than Hawk. He knew he had him. They made their peace. They were both aware of who and what they were to one another and that was enough. Hawk came for him and Hawk was willing to stay with him, and for Tim that was enough.

"No, no, no - You're young. You have the right to explore. You're Black in a country that will try to convince you you ain't shit. You're gay, and your own people may never accept you."

Would you look at that? In public, and the world didn’t come to an end.

FELLOW TRAVELERS 1x08 “Make it Easy”

I am so blown away by Fellow Travelers. I was not sure what I was getting into with this show. I think I saw a short clip on TikTok and was like cool, gay history? I'm in.

But the writing. the pacing. the ACTING. I remember after watching the first episode, thinking to myself how impressed I was by what they had accomplished in an hour. I felt connected to these characters, I was invested in them. I understood what the story was about. I needed to see episode 2. I was pulled in on ONE episode.

A passionate, complicated, deeply emotional love story. Their careers as government employees. The way they presented themselves in front of family and at work. The politics of the time. (Genuinely, I have learned so much about the red scare, the lavender scare, anti-war protesting, trans identity during that time, and Harvey Milk). Even the supporting characters have rich, soul-wrenching relationships and personal journeys.

Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer are SUPREMELY talented and electric together. Every glance, tension of the eyebrow, angle of body degree is nourished. Their chemistry and the authenticity they were able to portray during intimacy scenes was masterful and crushing. The way they can express such a complicated relationship is true art.

I am so so so impressed and enamored by this show. I hope it wins awards.
