#4
Brian/Justin
Played by: Gale Harold and Randy Harrison
I normally do not like pairings where a sweet, naïve person melts the cold heart of the other. It’s all a bit Beauty and the Beast. But, these two are the exception. I couldn’t help but be moved at their story. Out of everyone in the entire world, Justin Taylor was the one to win Brian’s heart. In all five seasons, Brian never fell in love with anyone else. It wasn’t even close. Yes, he loved Michael and he loved Lindsay, but Justin was different. He forced Brian to believe in love and to trust someone else to be there for him and care for him. He showed him that there was more to life than one night stands. In return, Brian helped Justin grow up. He gave him the confidence to fight for what he wanted and he taught him to be independent. It took Brian five years to say ‘I love you’ but it didn’t matter because he didn’t have to say it. Anyone could see it long before he said it. They had a bittersweet ending but no matter what, they’ll never stop loving each other.
Episode to watch: They didn’t have episode names, but I’d go for the episode right after they get back together in season three, if only for the commentary by the other characters.
OMG that is just funny that this is your number four. I liked the Beauty and the Beast aspect to it. oNly I thought the show took out the fairytale and gave it an reality, I thik that is how it worked. I loved how they changed each other for the better.
