We're here, we're queer! Or, we would be if they'd left that scene in!

LINKS AND COMMENTS WILL PROBABLY HAVE SPOILERS. SO THIS IS ME WARNING YOU.

I'm beginning to hate this so much I love it. Who was supposed to be gay on Stargate: Atlantis??? Inquiring minds want to know, if only to be sure that this doesn't interfere with their OTP OTP OTP!!!

It's a two-fer today: guess who's not as queer as previously believed on BSG?

::BASHES HEAD INTO DESK::

If you're going to do "Queer out of nowhere!" can you at least have the courage of your convictions and either go for it or not? None of this left-on-the-cutting-room-floor, we're-not-sure-how-gay-that-character-really-needs-to-be shit. Yes, it's great that that BSG character is bi. It fucking sucks who he/she sleeps with to qualify as a switch-hitter, though. Because that IS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than the genitalia of the person with whom he/she is sleeping.

And this is why this shit bugs me. What people sleep with is really 100 million times less interesting than who. You can get your hetero boning on. But is it more shocking that you do that with, say, a robot (looking at you, Helo) or that you get some homo boning on? According to the Sci-Fi Channel, it's the latter. And that's what's fucking wrong with all of this being "news." Even if the people IN THE SHOW don't make a big deal out of it, the show/channel runners are and that's painting how we see it, damn it.

Without looking at the link, I'm going to say Lorne. Because, for god's sake, they showed him on his day off painting watercolors of the ocean.

Wow have I entirely stopped watching that show. Even the die-hard SGA fans who loved last season (which I thought was terrible) are saying they've been phoning it in since the cancellation.

And the answer is...a character I've never heard of! That must have been introduced this season! And in a love square with Doctor Keller, the character that irks me already because of her pretty princess powers of making everyone in love with her. Apparently that everyone extends to red shirt female characters as well. Cause really, there's nothing the audience loves more than a late addition female character that is so precious she dates the entire rest of the cast.

Also, the commenter is totally with me on it being Lorne. Lorne/Parrish fans! Your moment has arrived!

Sounds like that show fell into the shitter faster than season four Smallville. Or season three Heroes.

And I'm with you on the casting stunts. It's the growed-up version of inserting the bratty little cousin character. We're not that stupid, show creators.

As for who's gay, I hope you feel validated.

I smell a BSG writership and management that are DESPERATE for ANYTHING RESEMBLING CONTINUED RELEVANCE.

Well, if they would STOP TAKING YEAR-LONG HIATUSES, perhaps relevance would be easier to maintain.
