life = depressing
I’ve been gorging myself on speculative threads on the House M.D. HoYay (homosexuality? yay!) board at Television Without Pity (shut up! I can only be restrained and smart a limited number of hours a day!) and while every other person there is talking about the possibility for a Big Gay Wilson moment or a Big Gay Wilson and House moment or what I would really call a They Finally Admit It’s Basically A Big Gay Show moment, all I could think in my head was, “It’ll never fucking happen. It’s network. We’ll be living on that Earth lite they just found before we’d get two main characters on a show admitting to and engaging in a homosexual relationship — especially not if it’s man gay,” and then I bummed myself out with my cynicism because even though I’m right — and I’m totally right — I wish I weren’t right. And not just because it’d be excellent eye candy — I think it’s evident I’m just a big fan of everybody being in love and having babies. Stupid life, denying me babies.
Agreed. I have this daydream in which the entirety of the McShep contingent of SGA fandom (however politically incorrect this apparently is these days [have you *seen* this? I almost died laughing: http://linnet-101.livejournal.com/87877.html?format=light) pickets outside the studios until they cave, like they did for - well, that may be a spoiler so- until they cave and agree to give us a McShep kiss. Why is it so impossible to have at least bi lead roles in shows? Why is sexuality such a massive hangup for people? We demand gaggles of cute gay couples with Teh Cuddley Babieeez!
Perhaps we *would* have more luck on Earth Lite, or as they described it in the news last night, "SuperEarth" (gotta love it - populated with Super People, of course...). The problem is getting there, but there's a solution on bash.org (as usual):

we should tell the japanese we found a planet full of giant tentacle monsters and their females are somehow little school girls - we’ll be going faster than the speed of light in a week
Anyway, I know I rarely comment, but - cheer up! *hug* =)
I’m right there with you!
and link Nimnod posted is hilarious!
It’s all about the subtext! Liz Friedman just can’t get off that Xena/Gabrielle seesaw. Maybe House will have too, like, give Wilson mouth-to-mouth or something…
See, I agree! And it’s so depressing…imagine that “depressing” is italicized. When I first starting reading those threads, I felt so bad for everybody…they were so convinced it was going to happen and I knew (and know) it wouldn’t (and won’t).
But now I’m just as big a sucker as they were/are, because I’m beginning to hope. Someday…somewhere…people will admit The Big Gay Fucking Love, and There Will Be Babies and More Big Gay Love.
Amen.
