Warehouse 13 has just introduced a gay character into its main cast. This is pretty rare for a genre show in the US, where if there are queer characters at all they're usually far in the background. Plus, the show handled it well--the character's gayness wasn't made a big deal of, much less the subject of a Very Special Episode. And he's a good character, not in any way a stereotype, whom I already liked.

Now, let's just hope he's not killed off or otherwise gotten rid of. *fingers crossed*

I like him very much - he's professional, and he manages his power in interesting ways, and I think he's a really good fit for the team.

I was spoiled that the new character was gay, but I was really happy with the way it was brought into the story. No big deal, and it just passed by, and there it is. I have no idea if he's a permanent addition to the cast - he's still listed as 'guest star' in the credits. But I hope so, because he hits my competency kink hard.

I really like him with Claudia. I just hope that he went from Pete's partner to Claudia's partner doesn't mean he's gonna get sidelined again.

(I also hope he gets some romance, but maybe that's going too fast for SyFy already x_x...)

Of all the genre shows on right now, Warehouse 13 does seem like one of the more likely ones to introduce a gay character as a main character...and yes, it is awesome because he already had instant rapport with the ensemble, Claudia especially.

Yeah, I was pissed for about five minutes last episode because I was afraid Myka wasn't coming back; now I'm totally happy with it.
