the episode was a bit over, if i might say so. i am not offended by the
characters being gay or bisexual, but this episode definitely was kind of
filled to the brim with homosexuality; kind of forced. to each belongs their
opinion - but if you are leaving this show because there was too much gay
theme to this episode then you are being a fool... and this is coming from a
straight man.
i bought season 1 on dvd and was hooked to it by the end of the first episode
and was in love with it by the end of the first season... (haven't ever seen
dr. who so was a fresh one for me) maybe my expectations were a bit too high,
but the first episode of season 2 was definitely a let-down - but still
enjoyable.
however... the cut-scenes at the end of the upcoming episode got me thrilled
all over again!

not that it matters, though. cause the doctor
hasn\'t been
involved with any of his companions in a romantic sense(excluding rose).
umm, have you actually watched the earlier stuff?, it was subtly implied he was
involved with at least two of the previous women he travelled with, most people
think 3 at least before rose.
and we have one of those mythical self hating gays in this thread, we must be
real special to attract one of those...
i just got around to watching this episode last night, and i liked it but did
not think much of the rip, i'm not sure there is anything wrong with it, but
sound and pic seems overly compressed, i will be searching out the 700mb rips
for the rest of the season, like i have for last years series.
so please eztv, hr rips for the rest of the season?.
i was talking about proven romantic relationships. before rose, it was
considered sort of taboo.

you do know the lead actor is gay right?.
and if your that repressed you think it's "all" meant as simply shock value
etc, i'm not sure why your even watching the show, from the start it was all
about sexuality in general, so if your not comfortable with it, go watch
something more dated, like a good butch rock hudson movie...
although, i do agree that rtd should walk away, or be kicked off dr who, his
style is just annoying in a more traditional series.
damn posted a boob.
not on in this context says i. aye, we agree, says we.
but fairs fair, jacks a poostabber, so what. we dont need it every ep.. poor
ol'e k9 was missing out, eh.. no doggy style for that poor robot mutt. wheres
the justice for robot dogs... none i tells ya.. none !!

that's nice, smarteyeball, but unfortunately it is just more double standard
dribble.
any time someone is bi/homo, it is seen by some as "making a statement". in
contrast, if you have a
male that is on the constant prowl for some pussy, it is seen simply as
character development. "he's into
the ladies".
the only i time i recall jack's sexuality ever being discussed was by the
females (in a very sort scene)
when they were trying to decipher if he was gay or not. it was a very natural
development (we do that).
jack is just a very lascivious sexual being, who is turned on by any attractive
humans (or other species,
apparently) regardless of distinctions such as sex.
he isn't marching in intergalactic pride parades or proclaiming "i am bi!"
it's just (a part of) who he is.
go plant purple flowers, sweetheart.
we don't really need the lectures.

"i don't care if a person is gay, but it is getting a bit old
how much he is using this
show to drive some sort of gay pride message. "
valid point you got there. i totally agree. it's like, when i was watching
dexter and he kept hooking up
with females. i was thinking, "all the murder in this show rocks, but what's
with the hetero pride
message?!? okay, we get it. he's attracted to the opposite sex. no need to push
the straight agenda."
directions: apply copious amounts of sarcasm. read. absorb. repeat as
necessary.
dexter got with a white yank and a white pom. "all the white chicks" ? so you
think he shoulda got with laguerta? or maybe some hot funky action with doakes?
yeah, dexter and doakes. a new spin off seriese, just to keep the queers happy,
coz we all know, without it, we're all just homophobes.
put the wine down and listen to yourself. you're the one with the problem here,
the rest of us are just sick of the "issue" being so overtly entertained. we get
it. theyre male and like males. so fucking what. it's obvious that the concept
is being pushed, it's not portrayed as the norm, even in the show. it's treated
as if it's something different - emphasized and obvious - as when wotserface
went lesbo for a bit thanks to some alien tech., ohh myy.. current normal
standards wont accept me, i best not like it.. blah blah blah..
blokes and chicks getting it on, is ignored. so what youre saying is bollocks.
holy shit, who fucking cares, you go watch "gay lovers unite and burn the
misconceptions and misunderstandings of current society" on dvd for all i
fucking care, youre a tit.

i think what i find most amusing, about those who are bothered by the "gay
overtones", is the fact that
there is not one complaint regarding the interspecies lust. :d
oh, the hilariousity...
are you soliciting now? you rodent?

wow. so much discussion on the gay aspect and no one mentioning what a cheap
rip-off this show is of the joss whedon stuff. yeap, they even got spike.which
was the only funny/watchable part. i don't care who he makes out with, it's
always good fun! but the suspenders? mal reynolds called, he wants them back.
