"""Bulletproof""" | Fellow Travelers Ep. 2 reaction

[@helenjenkins7189]

Matt Bomer's performance is nothing short of immaculate in this but Jonny Bailey's brittle vulnerability as Tim has my whole heart, sketchy Mid-Atlantic accent and all.

[@raquanwilliams5572]

Lmao I live. Not the “sketchy mid-Atlantic” twang 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s a very hard thing to imitate

[@Moffel83.]

The scene of Hawk making Tim write the letter to Mary and then basically Hawk declaring his love for Tim with those words and Tim understanding what Hawk is really saying - it's heartbreaking. Especially when Tim then goes on to accuse Hawk of only keeping him around for the sex. Hawk looks so hurt in that moment. This show will break me 🥺

"That already had the emotional intensity of a finale" YEP. this episode feels like a big warning that this show is going to WRECK us

[@sinceslicedbread7422]

'Please remember to take care of yourself.'- Ditto.

[@AmanCreatesArt]

Loved your insight on how that shot was framed before Hawk went in to see his father.

[@JamieEM83]

Hawk's little hurt face when Tim says he'd stay for just sex...

[@helentee9863]

Tim said.... and l could stay for another hour for sex. Meaning that's all that you want me around for.💀 Straight after a (rather backhanded) declaration of affection/love from Hawkins 😑

This show is scratching like 50 different itches rn it's CRAZY I'm not used to getting everything I want from a show. Period piece? Queer? Politics? History? Prestige show woth good writing and high production value? Takes place where I live? Thematically and politically relevant? Angst? Queer speakeasies with drag kings and queens singing gorgeous duets? Good acting? A character who is a gay black man and a journalist? Also the cast is smoking hot? I honestly can't believe it

Rewatched Episode 2. Hawk Fuller is the gay brother we never knew Don Draper had. When he played back the film of the Rosenberg protests it immediately called to mind the Kodak carousel episode of “Mad Men.”

[@melissabelton]

YES!!! I kept saying that he reminded me of Mad Men's Draper.. whew

[@Cheesycat948]

Same here! He is a gay Draper!

[@CraigUdy]

You're really, really fantastic!!! 1,000% agree that this show deserves ALL of the awards!

[@fred7019]

that "yes" altered the course of my life

[@orangemarmalade77]

I watched the whole series last week and then remembered that I had seen notifications for your reactions to it and got really excited that I'd get to see you experience this beautiful and heartbreaking show and get to hear your insights. I just watched these first two and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest when you're back from break!

[@CraigUdy]

Oh nooo! This is the last episode you commented on? I hope all is well with you and more episodes will come!

[@Larry.cupcaks]

I don't think I can make it to the last episode...

[@corvus1374]

Did Hawk say Congresswoman Johnson?

[@Carol-wv9fs]

I would like to recommend a very good film for you to watch, the name is "The Normal Heart". I don't know if you've seen it but this film is exciting and very interesting. It talks about the lives of queer people in the 80s in NY at the beginning of the AIDS crisis and talks a little more about this discovery and the struggle of these people to be seen by the government that at the time ignored the emergency situation

[@Gaywatch]

Seen it, LOVED it! Fellow Travelers is like a hybrid of Normal Heart and My Policeman in a lot of ways, and both of those were stellar.

[@general.huttslayer.pirate]

@@Gaywatch Same screenwriter that adapted this adapted My Policeman! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Nyswaner

[@marika7349]

Love your reactions, I hope you're going keep posting the rest of the season. Also, I'd like to recommend a film for you to watch, which is based on real life events. It's called Pride (2014), my absolute favourite movie ever!

[@Gaywatch]

I reacted to it last month! It won the drawing I do every month for Patreon. GREAT film on every front.

[@marika7349]

@@Gaywatch Wait so I can find them both on Patreon? x

[@Gaywatch]

@@marika7349 - Yup!

[@sunflowervol.6583]

Been waiting for this! ❤

[@trinia3046]

Thank you 🏳️‍🌈🌈

[@beastart159]

Can you react to steven universe future rewritten by kiwi queen 13. It's a more dark retelling of the ending of steven universe. It's really good.

[@drcnicole]

Oh my goodness....what show is this? I need to watch

[@everliotv]

are you gonna keep reacting to this series?🥺

[@Gaywatch]

Yes! KZbin versions of the reactions will make their way here when I get back from break in January, in the meantime full reactions are on the Patreon as always.

[@lilahkane2815]

So, the strikes just keep on striking...

[@TM-tx3yx]

Please please please watch last twilight . It’s by the same director of moonlight chicken and I know for a fact you will absolutely enjoy it

[@jaimeml4791]

If I knew absolutely nothing about this show you could just show me this opening title sequence and you’d have my full attention. As horrible as it would feel to go through with it (my Black Sails loving self reared up with a vengeance at the phrase apologize for having no shame), it’s really amusing to watch Hawk and his mother talk about working his dying father to get him back into the will like it’s a business deal. Speaking of feeling horrible, I think an actual bullet would’ve felt better than that last scene with Tim.
