i have never, in my life, ever been moved like this by a show. i have never cried like this over a show. but that’s because this really is more than a show. this was reality for the thousands, millions of queer folk who came before us. it reminds us: we should always remember to celebrate those that made it possible for us simply to be able to exist and live and love freely. to be.
i honestly couldn’t think of many better ways to pay homage to those queer lives, especially the ones lost, who fought bravely even in the face of death than telling their stories like this; exactly as they were. intricate, raw and real. giving another voice to all that love. the fight might not be over yet, but their contributions have left a lasting impact on this world. telling these stories isn’t just necessary, it’s crucial.
i can’t thank the writers, actors and absolutely everyone else involved in creating fellow travelers enough for bringing this vital, beautiful, poignant, devastating and endlessly meaningful, impactful, important story to life. thank you thank you thank you

"This is Marcus. Don't tell him my secrets; he's a stinking, rotten commie journalist."
"And a damn good one at that."

Fellow Travelers | The Episode 6 Promo and Episode Guide
A lot seems to be going down in the next episode, so let's peruse it.
It’s 1968 and Tim’s an anti-war protester sought by the FBI.
Yesss, can't wait for rebel Tim! But also wtf, the FBI?!
(More under the cut.)
Hawk and Lucy have a settled life, two children and...
Hmmm, I have a feeling that family might not be coming first this time.
...a country house - the perfect spot for Tim to hide.
Uhh, why does this child have a gun?!
Marcus puts aside his career to care for his aged father while denying himself romance.
Ugh, triple pain incoming for Marcus.
Frankie becomes a counsellor for girls left behind by society.
Frankie: an angel.
Out of touch for years, Hawk wants Tim back in his life...
Ooh, Lucy's gonna yell at Hawk, ok! And who's that in the kitchen... I don't think it's Tim?
...and Tim on his way to becoming a priest – can’t resist Hawk’s charms.
Of course he can't resist it, as they said in episode 4. So, looks like everyone's going to be hurt in some way, cool cool cool, can't wait.

"You're innocent."
"I'm innocent."
Had me bawling like a baby.
