Outland Open Thread: Episode 6, “Pride”

The Outland Cast

It’s the season finale! Will the group make it to Pride?

My hope for this episode: I’d like to see Max and Toby get together, and I’m hoping that Rae turns up with a girlfriend that she met at the Beta-Go musical rehearsal (I’m assuming that Rae went along to it, without the rest of them). That way, Series 2 could feature MOAR WOMEN, and be all Bechdel-y. πŸ™‚

  1. End of the series already? But it’s only just begun.

  2. I will definitely be writing to the ABC to ask for MOAR!

  3. Woot – Lulara costumes!

  4. p.s. I will be livetweeting. Hashtag #Outland

  5. The costumes the shoes, all gorgeous. Really feeling the Fab love tonight.

  6. That was a splendid finale. I loved Fab, Toby and Max’s epiphany and the warm fuzziness of the end.

  7. I loved it when Toby arrived and Max and Andy gave a little glance to their own frocks, as if checking whether they looked like that, and realising they didn’t.

  8. That was a lovely finish. Although the group should be called something in honour of Lulara :-).
    My favourite moment is Toby explaining how his makeup does homage to Lulara’s ethnicity without descending into the racism of blackface, and then Fab turns up. I also noticed that Fab’s apartment block looks much nicer in this episode.
    Or maybe my favourite moment was Andy doing β€œyou shall not pass”. There were quite a few to choose from!

  9. I also liked how none of them assumed that Rae would go as Lulara. The blackface explanation was fantastic. I bet that is going to get linked to a lot on youtube. At least I hope so.

  10. I liked that the chief young thug was wearing a southern cross shirt emblazoned with the slogan: β€˜ ozzy ozzy oy oy oy β€˜ I thought it was a nice not-so-subtle commentary on the section of the community that would participate in gay bashing (but it wasnt going happen on Pride day, because that would lead to death by irony). I loved Fab’s brief brave stand and yes the moment AotQ describes when Fab first turns up, and the scene at the march when they were wandering their seperate ways – it was filmed like a love letter to gay community and all (or perhaps some of its more visible) subcultures. So much to love about this episode.

  11. Just spammed that last comment from β€œHelen”. It was the first not the last season spammer!

  12. Ack, that was my fault β€” I did in in the bleariness of 6.45am this morning β€” saw an innocuous looking comment and let it through. Sorry, I really should have been more careful.
