Re: Wasted Potential

Urg anon this so much. I just sometimes feel like the writers want to have there cake and eat it too. They want to tell an interesting story using all of those cool controversial gay stories but they don't really want to offend anyone or make any characters unsympathetic. And they still need some sort of antagonist for the good characters to go against and make them look better and cause drama. He seems more a device then a well rounded character.

And the worst thing is that he is still the best gay character I can think of in an ensemble drama. When he is good he is an interesting character without to much stereotypes who is still unavoidably gay.

Yeah, that's the sad thing: We keep getting small bits and pieces in the right direction, but then a giant leap backwards.

I don't even need him to be a sympathetic character. But the way he's written is so frustratingly one-note that it got old three seasons ago. He keeps making the same mistakes over and over again and it keeps backfiring in his face and he is always saved by some deus-ex-machina like intervention. Every single time.

Exactly I don't really mind if he stays a massive arse but at least some motivation for why he is being a shit. The random hate-on for Bates just makes no sense.
