let's hope that Ted's advice makes Brian get his head out of his ass.

Hey! Yes, like I said, while watching the series I had to think of you and I already figured that the criticism would probably prevail. ;-) And I think I mentioned that before, I'm not that big of a fan, although I've read the books and also watched the movies "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" a lot. But honestly, I wouldn't have noticed the thing about the beards on women or the short hair on elves! And I totally agree with you about the actors. So far nobody has really convinced me. But after struggling more through the first episode, I find it entertaining now. So I will continue watching it. But it really isn't comparable to the movies.

Oh, did Prince William really say that?! Well, hopefully he would also then behave like that, although I do think that we're also further along than we used to be regarding this topic. And I think if you do some proper research, you would find a lot. I only googled briefly and came across that the Prussian king Frederick the Great was probably gay, but of course he was also married to a woman. Interesting topic! Now this chapter. As always, beautifully written. Ted is a really genuine friend who isn't afraid to tell the truth and genuinely wants what's best for Brian. You know what I think about Michael and also about Lindsay, so... I'm curious to see how Brian will behave now. So, looking forward to the sequel on Sunday! Warmest regards!

I was actually travelling for a wedding this weekend and my friend who got married is someone who I met when I traveled to New Zealand and did my Lord of the Rings location tour. So a lot of the guests at the wedding were fans as well and we talked quite a bit about the show and funnily enough everyone I spoke to had the same complaints: The actors aren't good, they get small stuff wrong that would have been easy to get right (long hair for elves, beards for dwarf women, etc.), it's not really exciting and there isn't much happening, but most people at least love the scenery/worlds/cities that were created for this show. It was funny to have so many people coming from different countries and all pretty much seeing it the same way ;) 

The thing is there are a lot of royals that were rumored to be gay, some more openly than others, but no royal that ever really openly came out as gay and had an official same sex partner, as far as I am aware. 

I am glad that you liked the chapter :) I love Ted and have said before that I think he is a much better friend to Brian than Michael has ever been, so this story is also a bit of a love letter to Ted! 

More will be up in a bit. Thanks for your comment :)

Who is Brian really mad at now. Ted is looking out for his friend's happiness. It's what a good friend does. Ted hit every nail on the head with what he said to Brian. What's Brian going to do about it?

You really can't compare Lindsay and Brian with Justin and Daphne. Justin and Daphne were kind of forced into their married life,

I agtee with Ted's thinking, really, what do Brian and Michael still or ever have had in common? It does seem like a one sided friendship.

Author's Response:

Brian is only used to Michael's and Lindsay's friendship, so he probably needs a bit of time to get used to a real friend ;) 

Thanks for your comment. More will be up later :)
