Antoher one of these evenings, when overly self-conscious homosexual Stuart (Aidan Gillen),
his friends, the overly self-doubting homosexual Vince (Craig Kelly), & the
somewhat square Phil (Jason Merrells) are cruising the gay clubs again, with
Stuart's one-night-stand, 15 year-old Nathan (Charlie Hunnam) still after him,
this time accompanied by Donna (Carla Henry), a friend from school who is
secretly in love with him even though she knows he is gay. & as usual,
Stuart seems to have the winning hand, picking up 2 good-looking boys for a
threesome, while Vince (again) seems to have run afoul of his luck, as the guy
he has picked up turns out to have some kind of parasite up his arse (though
he's a really nice guy). But the real loser this night is Phil, who has
picked up this guy who gave him some bad cocaine, & Phil o.d.s & dies,
& is only found days later ... With this episode, Queer as
Folk - which (for my taste) has been too nice the first couple of episodes
- really picks up some steam, confronting the homosexual characters with a) a
heterosexual world (to a point that, when Vince meets Rosalie [Caroline Pegg]
in a gay club, he can't even admit he's homosexual), & b), with death ...
but all in an entertaining way.
