Connor Macgregor Reviews...Queer As Folk
Episode Seven
INTRO: A party fills the air as Queer As Folk airs its penultimate episode in the series, one that sets up an exciting finale.
SUMMARY: Stuart throws a lavish, Doctor Who-themed birthday party for Vince's thirtieth. However,determined to run Vince's life for him,he stirs it by asking Rosalie and then introducing her to Cameron, a meeting which does not go down well as the scales eventually drop from Rosalie's eyes and she hurriedly leaves. Stuart gets a call from Lisa. She is unhappy because Romey is going through with her marriage of convenience to Lance and she seeks Stuart's help in discrediting him,the reward being that he gets to see more of Alfie.
THOUGHTS: Episode Seven isn’t as good as the previous one, even though they have a fun doctor who themed birthday party in the episode’s first act. I love Aiden Gillen’s performance in this episode, as he begins to stir up trouble at his best friend’s party in a bid to wind down his boyfriend. So fun and Cameron, the boyfriend, falls for it so easily much to Stuart’s delight. I continue to love how gullible Nathan is too. I love also the subplot with the lesbian are as one is getting infuriated with the partner’s marriage of convenience to an asylum seeker and sets out to sabotage it which I can’t help but chuckle at.
