OK, I am in no fit state to discuss all the ZOMG WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT aspects of the episode.

So for now, all I'll say is WELCOME BACK GAY AGENDA, and... who else is now thinking Canton/Peterson?

I mean, it would add a whole other level to the whole 'Do not compliment the intruder!' business! :)

So, unless it's actually refuted on screen, this will be my canon.

(The rest of the episode will have to wait. My brain is just desperately trying not to implode...)

I love how subtle they played it. No stereotypes, nothing to make you shout 'this guy is gay' until he mentions the bit about the person he wanting to marry being a man.

Think this might be the first Mark Shepard character that I actually like.

*nods* I was HOPING he was gay, but - like Nixon suspected - it could perfectly well have been that he was in love with a black woman. Or a Communist or something. Even the little adjustment of the bow tie was something the Doctor engineered, rather than something for people to point to. (Not that I didn't love it, mind you.)

I've only seen him on Firefly otherwise, where he was a bit of a creep... So yeah, I can agree with that!

He plays a lawyer on BSG and it is complete and utter win!

One day I shall watch that show...

[promethia_tenk]

Yes, yes you will.
