yayness!

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 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...)

Given the way the show has handled romance, I think I'm okay with him not having one. But it would be nice if we could see him at least having attractions/flirtations, like everyone else.

I was a little put off by Claudia's "I should have a gay friend, because I'm fabulous" thing--it's such a stereotype, and Claudia's not girly in a way that fits it, and one of the great things about Steve is that he's not fabulous in that Will & Grace way either. So hopefully that was just Claudia feeling uncomfortable about having assumed a mutual attraction.
