- GOOOOOD EVENING TH-cam FAMILY,
Firstly, huge thanks for the patience with this video and with me spending the holidays with my family. It felt fitting for me to get this video out today as the last video of 2023 and for us all to have a good cry together.
I will be filming a recap video to fully talk everything Fellow Travelers... but for now... one last dose of Skippy & Hawk!

This show just killed me in every single episode.
The scene at the AIDS Quilt hit especially hard since I was not only at that years display but I’ve worked as a volunteer with the Names Project over the years. My husband’s panel was displayed last year in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.
Oh, Kurt. Now I’m crying again. ❤️
I too was there for the first display of the quilt. I had over 20 friend's honored in that showing, including my two closest buddies from my early days living in Manhattan. I also discovered the quilts of others I had lost track of from my earlier days in DC. I was overwhelmed and distroyed by finding out that they were dead.
I want to thank you for your honest and empathetic response to this story. I have watched a few other channels responses, but yours have hit me as genuine and heartfelt. Thank you!❤
And Happy New Year!!
Kurt, I’m so sorry for your loss!
❤
I’m so sorry for your loss Kurt ♥️😢
Thank you for watching and reacting to Fellow Travelers. The ending scene brought me back to when the AIDS Quilts was making its national tour and made to San Francisco. It brought back emotions again. The pain and loss. I grew up in SF during the 70's, went thru the AIDS crisis and saw my share of worthless deaths. Just because we were being who we are and loving who we want. I applaude the gay rights movement is late 60's (drag queens & Stonewall), to the only AIDS hospital ward at SF General to treat and address AIDS patients and seeing groups like ACT-UP fighting the government for basis human needs. I'll end with this: know your history, know the gay people that came before you, & begin the conversation. Thanks.
This episode wrecked me. April 12, 1997, my Joey lost his battle with AIDS. He didn’t make it to see 25. My boss, who was also my best friend, let me take a leave of absence, so like Hawk, I slept in the hospital next to Joey’s bed until the end. I’m so glad we’ve come so far. I hope that this generation never knows that pain and suffering. Thank you to everyone involved in “Fellow Travelers” for telling our stories in such a beautiful way.
I hope u r doing ok dear!
Sending love to you ❤
i don’t think i’ll ever be over this show. so beautifully heartbreaking.
The best series I’ve ever watched . So real and so tragic . So brilliant.
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my entire life. I'm so humbled that they made this and shared it. Jon and Matt were incredible.
I moved to San Francisco in the early 70's at 23, from PHX, AZ. Had to if I wanted a life, went to San Francisco State Univ. Was there during the Milk murder. Then came the 80's. That was rough. Lost my roommates, friends, infatuations. Somehow, don't understand why, I didn't get it. Anyway, I moved back to PHX in 1986. I was just so depressed, SF had changed everyone seemed to have it, and there was just a dark cloud over SF. No joy. I figured I likely had it anyway, so may as well be with my family. I would always check myself for any sign of KS, any cold or illness might be the beginning of end. I'm not proud of leaving, should have stayed, but was so depressed. Of course this disease knew no state lines, and it happen in PHX, where they seemingly ignored the disease, at least for a while. Then it all happened again. It was very hard to be happy about anything. I guess the only thing we can do is remember and learn. My last loss was 2005. So, I'm 71 now, and have no idea how I made it out alive.
Sweet Boy, At some point you HAD to move in order to save yourself. I don't believe there's anything to be sorry for in fighting your demons to stay alive. At the young age you were, NO ONE is prepared to deal with what you had to go through and the energy of that time was overwhelming, even in Dallas, TX where I grew up. Nobody was prepared to be face so many senseless deaths. Each person had to figure out their own best way to stay alive and should be applauded for whatever it was they did to stay among the living. It was a terrifying time for our LAGBQIA brothers and sisters and devastating for us allies. It took so many people for no other reason than living their lives in the sunlight and not hiding in the shadows. Heck, for the wild times that more than a few of us had in the 70s I'm surprised that many of us made it through without contracting the virus. The saddest part for me at least was seeing those who had lived come out like shell shocked survivors, stunned, confused, and depressed. For whatever reason I'm glad you lived and I hope you went on to live a fulfilling life both for yourself and in honor of those who didn't make it. Love, Sue
Thank you for sharing your story!
One of my coworkers in Washington,, D.C., was perhaps the first person in the area to be diagnosed with GRID (it was not yet AIDS). His partner got several of us to be volunteers at the AIDS ward at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda. I told practically no one because you simply couldn't in those days. I would ride my bicycle the 9 miles out to the hospital and returned to my place one night after an ice storm had glazed the streets. I met wonderful people who were patients there, all of whom died. I do not know how many friends and acquaintances I lost to that disease but at one point I stopped crying.
As to the series . . . you shared my reaction when Lucy said goodbye. I was very happy for her that she said "enough." That said, she also had male lovers in that most delicious hint of irony. And I pretty much despised Hawk all the way through until the last scene when he confessed his love for Tim to his daughter. It was a challenge to watch, to put it mildly.
Oh, I'm in my 70s in case you're wondering.
Their dance is too full of love to watch without being torn apart for what should have been.
It’s been two weeks and I’ll still cry at the drop of a hat on seeing clips from this episode.
Of course we feel for Tim & Hawk because they are the central characters and relationship, but there’s also the knowledge that the various stories within this miniseries represent the stories of real lives lived.
I have been on this earth for 40 years, and in that time I've watched a truly staggering amount of TV, but I can honestly say nothing has ever made me cry like this finale did, especially in the last 5 minutes: the combination of Tim's death (I think not actually showing it was a great choice), Hawk finally having the courage to come out, and being reminded of everyone - of our community - who died for no goddamn reason because people right there in that fucking building did nothing...it absolutely broke me. I sobbed uncontrollably for like 10 minutes straight, then watched that last scene over and over and just let myself cry as much as I needed to. I really hope this show has affected younger queer people who might not have felt a connection to the community before this, and that it gives everyone else the chance for a good, cathartic cry.
I hope they can find a way to bring at least part of the quilt back to DC for its 40th anniversary so more people can have the chance to see it - it was fantastic that they loaned the show some of the panels (including Roy Cohn's real one).
I agree so much with u
This show broke me in the best possible way. Much like you, I think that we got the happiest possible ending. Hawk finally accepting himself and being honest about his love for Tim was truly powerful 😢And the Aids quilt scene was one of the most heartbreaking scenes I have ever watched on TV. Knowing that part of Tim's quilt (the fish) was made out of Hawk's undershirt, seeing all the other squares for all the other Tim's and Hawk's out there... Tim and Hawk (and all the other men like them from that generation) are the definition of 'they would have deserved better'. Thank you for reviewing this show - it was a pleasure to watch your reaction videos!
Great observation with the quilt. But first time watching it I didn’t notice. How do we know it was Hawks undershirt? Do they give any hints that it was his shirt? Or was this a detail that was only specified in the book?
@@abbyt777 The quilt is not even mentioned in the book since Tim doesn't die of Aids in the book... It's just an observation a lot of fans have made by comparing screenshots of the undershirt Hawk's been wearing and then the finished quilt.
@@Moffel83.can you tell me Tim died?
@@user-yy6cs9hx5eIn the book Tim died of bone cancer
You’ve had BY FAR the best, most thoughtful and emotionally intelligent reaction to this series I’ve seen (or will likely ever see). I want to thank you for this, and for your good heart ❤️🩹
I sewed a panel and saw the quilt for the first time at the March on Wasington in 1989. The entire weekend was profoundly powerful and unifying, and the quilt viewing was devestating but necessary and cathartic. Much like this series.
I cried for the 100th time to this finale with watching your beautiful reaction video here. I realize now that something akin to PTSD may contribute to my own gutted senses: I was 17 when I went to Sacramento to represent my high school at Boys' State (sponsored by the American Legion) in the summer of '84, when the AIDS crises was swelling and Deukmejian was governor. I was already out to a few family members and dozens of friends - some of them a generation older than myself - but I had to keep a tight lid on my gay identity at Boys' State (an exercise in government and the Machiavellian maneuvering that comes with it) where I took on a reporter's role in the program. I learned fast that the epidemic was most definitely NOT a topic anyone wanted to address - except perhaps to cruelly voice support for its acceleration. The 80's were such a frightening decade for me, but I'm happy to view it from the rear view mirror with decades of progress. I wish so many friends could have lived to see today...
Words cannot express the appreciation I have had watching your reaction to this series. As a gay man who came out at age 16 in 1984 in NYC when most didn't. I unlike others have been very fortunate to have parents that were living and accepting. Watching your reactions to this series brought me back to a time when most of my friends have passed due to AIDS and their families not accepting them. The LGBTQ+ community of today have no clue what we went through back then. It is thanks to you who can appreciate and fully understand that. I thank you so much for these reactions.
OMG - what an episode and what a fantastic series. Really loved watching your reactions to the whole series. I was in my 20’s and living in New York, a few blocks from Stonewall, throughout the AIDS crisis. Lost my two best friends and many other good friends to the disease. The series really captured the sadness and the anger, but also the courage and the love so many people displayed in the face of so much tragedy. Gotta give a shout out to the lesbian community that turned out for their gay brothers, back then, they did so much. Tim’s speech near the end, when he tells Hawk that, despite it all, he never regretted loving him, really got to me Thanks for honoring the dead and all of us who remember. Always choose love.
You got me over here crying again! This series is my absolute favorite. The way we can see ourselves in so many of the characters resonates so deeply. I appreciate the education aspect that enlightened so many to the Lavender scare and the fact men and women had to be interrogated to ensure that they were not homosexual. And the fact the government called labeled them “deviants”. Wow! This show better win ALL the awards! 🏆
This series is so realistic
What a masterpiece! This show broke me open, pulled my heart out and left me raw and exposed. I have no defence. It is perfectly written, perfectly balanced, deep, poetic, unapologetic, true, meaningful! So full of little details and personal touches. The photography throughout the whole show is spectacular!! And the acting… they couldn’t have picked a better cast. I can’t shake off this show… I keep thinking about it, about all it represents, about how important it is that this show came when it came and depicted what it depicted with that amount of detail, with so much courage!! I have now watched it 4 times and it keeps punching me in the guts just as the first time! I keep discovering new layers… I believe this is the best show I’ve ever watched! And I’m going around youtube reading every comment because there are so many personal stories everywhere, this show giving voice to so many is the whole point!! There’s so much unhealed trauma, I hope this helps a bit! 💙
They had so much, yet missed so much. When Hawk said I’ll wait for you, comparing to episode 5 when he said to Tim “I won’t wait for you.” And the promise me you won’t write truly broke me to a point I don’t think any movie/ series could have.
Thank you for crying with me through ur reaction. How genuine you are touched me too.
I didn’t even catch the ‘wait for you’ parallel - thank you for pointing that out!
The most emotional I’ve been in a long time watching a show. My favorite moment of the entire season - Marcus “you are innocent” 💀💔perfect, perfect, perfect!!
This episode was emotionally devastating.
Happy New Year Gays 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
And to you!❤❤
@@stephenpeters8971 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I love your reactions to this series. They're so honest and real and you know more about American history and culture than several American reactors I've seen watch this show.
Such a great reaction though this whole series. It was a pleasure watching. Your intelligent, compassionate and beautiful response has not gone unnoticed. Great reaction once again.
I actually loved how it showed various struggles/life styles people had during these decades.
Thank you Jackie. Well done. I've watched the series twice now and balled my eyes out both times. Just now watching your reaction I sobbed right along with you. I'm 70 years old now and contrary to a lot of people I've heard from I've sympathized with the Hawk character. Yes he did some truly terrible things to Skippy but knowing the period of the 50's and 60's you have to understand what it was like for gay men back then. It's gut wrenching in the end when Hawk finally is able to begin to be authentic enough to tell his daughter that Tim was not just a friend but the man he loved.
Тоже испытал сильнейшие эмоции, просмотрев этот сериал. Думаю, моя жизнь уже никогда не будет прежней. Огромное спасибо его создателям и тебе, Jackie!
I also experienced the strongest emotions after watching this series. I think my life will never be the same again. Many thanks to its creators and to you, Jackie!
Thx for sharing your take on the final episode. I listened to the earlier ones and I guess I was looking for closure. This is all new to me, group watching/following if you will. The incredible writing, acting, and production of this series pulls in strangers round the world yearning for a more compassionate society, as we literally watch fascism spreading globally. I can't believe we are moving backwards politically. That said, I need to add my unsolicited two cents. I thoroughly enjoyed Tim's character for brilliantly portraying the idealism that a hero is charged with, clinging to the good in humanity, and keeping hope alive. Society would be lost without it. Equally of value is the contrast portrayed by the anti-hero. Hawk's character does this so well and reveals man's other side. He is scarred for life by rejection and denial of his true nature, desires. He does what he has to in order to protect and sustain himself in a world that has proven itself hostile and unaccepting of him. In spite of his armor, Tim manages to episodically pull out what is decent and good in him. Hawk enters the latter stage of his life knowing he has lost on multiple fronts. Great series!
that ending is devastating ..... even watching it again broke me .... the pain of the 1980s returns .... the feelings for friends who were lost to AIDS ... the anger about the political indifference in the US and UK remains.
I have seen that quilt in DC and it literally takes your breath away. There is no other way I can describe it. As anyone of a certain age can tell you, many of us made decisions in those days that went very against our best natures in order to survive in the particular world we lived in. Yes, it was horrifying to deny a love that was right there in front of you. Because after all, love is love. And then we lived with terrible regrets sometimes long after, even to this day.
I’m not mentally prepared when I watch this film and now I’m stuck on this film I really love Tim he don’t deserve that ending he’s love is beyond measure 😢
Ho tanto da dire su questa serie che non riesco a scrivere in inglese. Spero che Google traduca correttamente i miei pensieri!
È stato davvero un viaggio sulle montagne russe, i due protagonisti sono semplicemente strepitosi la loro capacità di trasmettere tutte le emozioni che quei personaggi hanno provato e anche il resto del cast è stato straordinario nel raccontare questa storia.
Hawk è insieme cinico, manipolatore ma altrettanto fragile e sicuramente innamorato di Skippy (❤) tanto è vero che solo a lui racconta di Kenny o della paura che gli ha lasciato la guerra. Ha sacrificato il suo amore per una vita che gli ha permesso di raggiungere determinati traguardi ma ogni volta che, dopo il 'tradimento', ha rivisto Tim per lui sembrava non fosse passato il tempo e potesse di nuovo ricominciare come prima senza però avere mai il coraggio di prendere una decisione definitiva.
L'ottava puntata è stata quasi un calvario, ho cominciato a piangere dall'inizio e non ho più smesso anche finito il racconto. Qui, più che in quelle precedenti, ci sono sono scene che dispiegano una chiarezza incredibile, probabilmente perché si è arrivati a trovare tutti i fili delle storie in sospeso.
Lucy che va in ospedale e capisce quale è il rapporto tra suo marito e Skippy e infatti è lei alla fine che prende la decisione migliore nonostante Hawk che sembra quasi più di lei attaccato alle apparenze.
Il loro nuovo incontro nel '57 e il rinascere del desiderio, c'è quella specie di ballo che fanno nudi nell'appartamento clandestino che dimostra un'intimità al di là del puro aspetto sessuale, una vera e propria unione di anime.
E poi quel passaggio tra presente e passato in modo quasi convulso tra il momento del 'tradimento' e l'altra profonda intimità che vediamo in ospedale (è straziante quella scena ma non è l'unica!); oppure quando Skippy va in ospedale e vede Jackson appena nato.
Poi c'è la scena del bacio finale dove più che mai si innalza la commozione e quell'addio ripetuto anni e anni dopo ma a parti inverse e tragicamente definitivo.
Infine la trapunta del memoriale sull'AIDS... Quando l'ho vista sono scoppiata a piangere come un vitello! E poi alla fine 'Non era un mio amico era l'uomo che ho amato'.
Skippy è un personaggio che ha rubato il cuore di tutti: la sua tenerezza, la sua ingenuità, la sua dolcezza ma anche la sua determinazione, la sua coerenza e forse anche la sua amarezza hanno trapassato i nostri cuori e alla fine molti avrebbero voluto essere accanto a lui per abbracciarlo forte forte!
Ora Hawk è solo con forse la figlia vicina, che non può più nascondersi da sé stesso.
Scusa se sono stata un po' logorroica! 😊
Can you tell me why Tim died?
@@user-yy6cs9hx5e he was suffering from AIDS
I'm glad and Big thank for your reaction. I knew roughly how of the end. But I don't want to watch it alone. And finally I had a friend to watch it until the end and got happy and sad without being alone. Support from Thailand ❤
This series effected in a way that not other gay theme show ever has
Heartbreaking and to live through the 80's was truly a scary time! This story has shown this but in a beautiful and moving way. Thank you reviewing it.
"The most humbling series I've ever watched". Ditto.
born amidst mid century bigotry I was on the first GLF march to Trafalgar Square in 1972. By the 1980’s I’d lived and survived the gay hedonism of New York gay life only to lose friends and two former lovers to AIDS. I survived two severe gay bashing’s myself and still have the neck ligament damage from whiplash and crowns in my mouth from the broken teeth. Then there was the court case and police bigots who buried my assault complaint so they would not have to investigate “the gays” on their watch. Then there was the 1987 NZ Homosexual Law Reform Bill and then the Marriage Act all of which fostered rabid hatred all over again: decade after decade after decade. Yet I became someone and enriched lives and outlived so many beautiful lives. You have no idea what my generation sacrificed to give you yours. No idea. But thank you.
This series gutted me. I was a shell of the person I was at the beginning when I finished. It was raining here on Xmas day and it’s. It supposed to do that where I live. When I finished the series I bawled for an hour. The only thing that stopped me was going out in the rain in my underwear. Shock therapy. And it wasn’t all of the AIDS and repression, for me the entire arc of painful unrequited love was triggering to me. I absolutely would have fallen for Hawk and suffered all those years because of it. And what Tim said at the end about having a big love and how it was worth it brought me to my knees.
I was 19 when I first heard of the "rare cancer seen in 41 homosexuals" - Kaposi's sarcoma - which later we knew to be one of the signs of AIDS. Deeply closeted and with no gay friends, I was scared, and became more scared and if possible even more closeted as time went on. A few years later I met a wonderful gay man who gently and beautifully introduced me to the world and the "scene", but by that time the deaths were happening here in the UK and it seemed like almost every day something happened to scare us even more. Did you know, for example, that a group of MPs seriously discussed locking up all known gay men?
I didn't lose any friends at that time - friends of friends, yes, but I wasn't one of those going to funerals every week. I was so lucky. Now it's nearly 40 years later and I still often think I should have been braver, gone to the rallies, been "out and proud", and I might at least claim now that I tried to make a difference. But so many of us were so scared. I'm in my 60s now, and I hope with all my heart that there'll never be another time like that for the queer community. As I think someone said in this episode of Fellow Travelers, nobody deserves to be hated for getting ill.
This show is so important on many levels and everything about it is just perfection. So worth an award , just a great great show
That end scene was heartbreaking! I bawled so hard. I was a mess.
The first and last Hawk admitting his love for Skippy broke me into pieces.😢😭
It’s been such a pleasure sharing in your thoughtful and touching reactions to this beautiful show. I’m crying all over again for all those we lost; the hopes, dreams and promise of a generation. I’m so glad this story is reaching a whole new generation and awakening them to the continued struggle for human rights and dignity for us all. I was horrified to hear Jonathan Bailey was assaulted in Washington DC for being gay, this year. He had just come from presenting Matt Bomer an award by the Human Rights Campaign for his activism. It’s a shameful and painful reminder of just how much work remains. I’ll be looking forward to your recap of the series ❤
"promise you won't write"
"i won't"
i want to hug you all now. fuck. speechless
FT is a very well-written series and a beautiful story. I cried like you after watching the last episode.😭It's heartbreaking. I am still depressed and sad. Hawk finally came out to his daughter, but it was too late cause Tim was no longer there.
Same here 😵💫I cried so much especially cuz I grow up in the 80s in the middle of the aids epidemic 😭😭😭
I cried my eyes out when I watched the finale, and I just cried again watching your reaction 😢 It was a truly impactful series and the ending was powerful, sad, yet endearing ❤
Some of the specific political realities were true only in the USA, but the general social attitudes and men living in the closet were as true in the UK as in America. Lots of Lucy's married to a lot of Hawks.
I've been waiting for your video so bad!! and i reacted same as you!! Thank you!
Thank you, Jackie, for your wonderful, intelligent, sensitive and heartfelt reaction to this series. Happy New Year to you! ❤
Thank you, Jackie, for all your reactions to the show, it’s been nice to share the journey with you since I’ve had only one real-life friend I know watch it.
Honestly think it was the best show of the year and hope it gets so much awards recognitions that many more ppl watch it cos it’s not been as discussed online as I assumed it wouldn’t be so I wonder how big the audience has been.
I sobbed desperately for almost one hour after watching the last episode. I've never felt this way because of a TV show. I'll never get over it.
Tim's death at the age of 56 is just awful. 1986 seems so very long ago yet there are ppl born in the 1930s who are still around today. Tim was born in 1930.He still had so much he could have done with his life as he had really found purpose after moving to California. It hit me so hard when I saw his quilt as in I knew he had died but the quilt scene was devastating.
I loved your reactions throughout the series. You did so well. And you weren’t overly critical and you considered the fact that times were different. Thank you so much for that
And i cried again for your reaction mannn😢
Great review and response to episode 8
The way I was bawling my eyes out at the end of this I can’t explain. And I still cry watching people react to it. I’m crying right now.
Just. Thank you!
Just?
This had me balling my eyes out all over again. What an incredible series. I can't stop thinking about it.
I guess by now you've already heard Jonathan has won the Critics choice award for best supporting actor in a limited series. His acceptance speech was so moving, meaningful and heartfelt!
My brother died of Aids in the 80's and this series breaks my heart
I’m so sorry for your loss, John ❤️
I am crying here with you! Thanks for your video ❤
If you want to know more about the Names Project I suggest that you watch the Mini series “When We Rise” which was written by Cleve Jones the founder of the Names Project which now weighs over 54 tons and has over 110,000 names
No me habia sentido preparada para ver nuevamente el ultimo capitulo, pero hoy estoy pasando por un momento dificil de mi vida y senti la necesidad de ver el ultimo episodio con tu reaccion y volvi a sentirme muy triste y me cayeron algunas lagrimas nuevamente....yo tambien no tengo claridad si en algun momento podre superar el dolor y amor que me hizo sentir Fellow Travelers, pero agradezco haberla conocido, haber vivido su historia y son mas que nunca consciente de las perdidas, dolor y acontecimientos que ocurrieron y siguen ocurriendo. Es algo que nunca debe ser olvidado y siempre recordar la lucha actual y en ese momento en las calles de cientos de personas que hacen que actualmente nosotros tambien podamos hablar sobre estos temas.... tremenda serie que aun me hace angustiarme y enamorarme como el primer dia y la amaré por siempre. Eternamente agradecida de sus creadores, escritores, actores y todos los que hicieron que mi vida cambiara en 180 grados. Y a ti tambien, amo tu canal, tu honestidad y tu entrega en cada reaccion, muchisimas gracias por todo a ti tambien
I loved the ending. So glad they didn't go that death bed scene or sad funeral. Ending at the AIDS quilt paying respects to Tim and real people who died during that time. The quilt was for all people..gay, straight, kids and women. Politicians made it about a gay sexual disease. It effected everyone.
💔💖
Rewatching 4/4/24
Jackie, Thank you for your sincere and heartfelt review. We need more gay representation through series like this. I also appreciate you wanting to continue telling LGBTQIA+ stories. Within the queer community we take so much for granted, and we need to honour those who came before us and fought for our rights.
We gay men who are now in our 60s and 70s actually lived as young adults during the 1980s. So if you think back to what Marcus said in the very first episode (about his being tired of going to so many funerals), the inevitablity of Tim's death was obvious to us. In an odd way, now that we're at the age when so many people from our own generation are dying because, well, we're OLD, the impact isn't nearly as strong as it was when we were in our 20s and 30s, and the people we loved--people with so much promise and talent--were wasting away and dying, in great part due to the indifference of so many governments. If AIDS had affected straight people from the very beginning, then a cure or perhaps even a vaccine might have been found within the first year. But it didn't. So governments dragged their feet on the issue. The really tragic character in this story is Hawk, since he realizes, too late, that he basically gave up true happiness in his life in exchange for "stability".
If you want a similar show there is a swedish show called "don't wipe the tears without gloves" about aids in Sweden during the eighties. I highly recommend it!
Fellow Travellers was simply amazing and touching. It also shows how the hypocrites that were there in the 50s are still there in the Republican party. They haven’t changed a bit….sadly.
Jonathan Baily - winner - Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series - Critics Choice Awards.........no one deserved it more IMO
Lucy stayed for the power and prestige, a senator's daughter, Hawk's looks and his State Dept job. She read Tim's letter before she burned it, fired the contractor remodeling the house, saw the hickey. She knew. Bet she had an affair with that guy they threw the anniversary party for. She could have bailed, but she didn't.
😢
🌈💕✨🤗
great coverage of last episode BUT ! you didn't show what i thought was one of the most beautful intimate scenes - them dancing naked in the bedroom to Johnny Mathis - I look at you. so heartfelt ! it hit me so hard
Because it’s TH-cam and you can’t show nudity
Bummer. Lol. It was special.
Tim and Hawk forever 🖤🖤
Tim mentions "staying at the Y", this is a good beginning regarding the place the YMCA played during this period (and also why The Village People's YMCA was a bit of a gay anthem when released). th-cam.com/video/aEHM59cvDM0/w-d-xo.html
Yo aún no estoy preparada para ver el final nuevamente :((((((((( todavía sigo llorando, hasta con videos edits, tal cual como lo fue el primer dia😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ (pero veré tu reacción pronto, en cuanto me sienta mejor)🥺💜 te envío un abracito y feliz año🥺💜💜💜💜
If you haven’t seen ‘Pride’ (2014), I cannot recommend it HIGHLY enough! (Even if you don’t do a reaction to it, please)
It’s my go-to watch whenever I’m feeling despair at the state of the world or the state of our community 🏳️🌈💕
Can you tell me why Tim died?
Can't go through all of this again in this country. Vote blue
Interestingly, I kind of feel like Queer as Folk is like a continuation of this. Obviously not in terms of quality but it starts in the 90s and I think it shows the progression of gay lives in America. I feel like Queer as Folk is a good representation of queer lives in the 90s.
Please react to movie "in from the side"
It’s on the list
@@JackieRossLavender thank you❤️
I just rewatched this episode and something came to my mind. What if Tim wasn't actually dead because they didn't show the scene when Tim died or the funeral. Maybe the memorial with Tim's name written on it was just a trick created by Tim to make Hawk think that Tim had died, because Tim wanted Hawk to really leave Tim and return to his family.
I hope there is season 2 with a happy surprise😭
Sorry but I think that’s completely far fetched and actually a bit offensive to all those names on the quilt
I agree. I find it offensive and delusional to come up with this wackadoodle conspiracy idea. I think this story has been well a told and is ended.
If anything maybe a second season with other characters and stories. But I feel completely satisfied with this ending.
I know the real story and cant watch the content.
My life wouldn't be the same after Fellow Travelers.
And I can't forgive Hawk!
He actualy ruined Tim's life!
I hope he lives in loneliness and guilt.
