I mean, for me, from episode one, it was Brian and Justin who hooked me in. But the show ... having this show, getting it on screen and keeping it there for 5 seasons ... that's huge. Simply huge.
And although there have been bits along the way that I simply hated (end S2, for one) and some that I didn't think were very good (end S4), there have been so many wonderful moment in there that to carp on those seems petty.
All that being said, I don't think that C/L are the greatest writers in the world, and I think sometimes, when they sacrifice character to plot they undermine the show. And sometimes they are so heavy handed in making their points, that even I, who agree with them, feel irritated by the way they do it (Deb and the border guard in S4).
But overall, the show still stands as an amazing achievement.
So ... guess we just have to enjoy the last season, and, as for bj, like you I also
*choose* to believe they will be together again and soon in NY.

Sigh.
