I'm glad some people are throwing nonessential same-sex romance into their adventure plots. It's a sorely underused device, in my opinion. If there's a B-story romance, it's het; if there's a gay romance, it's always the Big Problematic Thing that the Story is About. A reason I like slashing shows (which isn't up on the big board... yet) is that it creates TV shows (in our minds, anyway) in which there ARE gay relationships, but they aren't the POINT of the show--there's also, you know, adventure and fun stuff.
