OMG SPOILERS!

I agree with one of the comments on this posting about the latest BSG gay romance: if the friggin Sci-Fi Channel does a godsdamn PRESS RELEASE saying "ZOMG Xxxxx is A GAY!" how the hell can you really say that mentioning it somewhere else is a spoiler?

Of course, I link to my own announcement of that news from some weeks ago, and I realize I did give a spoiler warning, so clearly there is some expectation that even news that is announced and given out to the media is still somewhat sensitive. But really, people: if you're at all plugged in and you're at all behind in a series, you just sort of have to get used to being spoiled. Most magazines will warn you (UNLIKE FUCKING ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY) for anything major. The fact that the Sci-Fi Channel isn't bothering to hide this means this gay romance will probably be as significant to the story as the last one. (Read: not at all.)

It's not like they announced who the last Cylon was. (HA HA HA, IT IS GOING TO SUCK WHEN THEY DO, THOUGH AND I KNOW IT AND I DON'T CARE, A-HA HA...sigh)

If I'm right and it's "Downloaded," then, yes, it's way better. It's a damn shame about Billy because he would have been awesome down the road. Because the last thing Roslin needed to lose was the one guy who constantly reminded her that her renegade shit was Not Cool.

(The show can only go so far in correcting gendered stereotypes because a lot of them are unconscious at this point. Almost all of them are due to a basic assumption of weakness when it comes to the "feminine." Women are hookers, not men. Especially not men. 'Cause why would men ever...women don't want sex, so they wouldn't hire men, and men wouldn't hire men because...ICKY!!!!

So, yeah, no. The fact of prostitution doesn't surprise me. The state of it on BSG was lamentable.)
