Oh, I know it. But I've had it with the "oh, they just had to throw a gay character in" business, when Aaron and Eric come from the actual source material.

Specifically? No idea. But I'd put little past parents in this area. Even the most supportive parents can blindside a gay son or daughter with an out-of-left-field comment or assumption, even well into their adulthood. But I do know that as a kid, I was squeamish about being in the water out at the lake, and remember…

Read the comic, you big doof. This didn't come out of left field.

Or Downton Abbey.

That's going to be hard to pull off as gruesomely as in the comic. I mean, it would be like if Gus Fring survived, and looked like that every week after!

Exactly. If Aaron was a very fussy eater, his homophobic parents thought that was a "sissy" quality to have—and he genuinely hated the taste of apples—there's really nothing at all out of bounds about that scene.

I have a batch of cousins with naturally red hair that is every bit as bright as Cudlitz. But I get it, it doesn't look "real" on them either.

Having lived in Vegas, and having watched a whole lot of bad geography on everything from Con-Air to Ocean's 11 to CSI, I always chalked these things up to the universe the story takes place in. Like the DC Universe has Gotham and Metropolis, obviously the geography is different in the Walking Dead Universe… How's…

I think it's the "fussy eater" thing being seen as being a sissy, that's what I got out of it.

No need to go on, you've actually got it backwards. Um, so to speak. Jaybee is correct insofar as every poll I've ever seen on the topic.

I'm with you on Angels in America. It was interesting, but I don't understand the overwhelming praise.

There are slow dances at gay country bars, that I've seen.

I'd give it way higher than a C+. Is that grade rating it versus the play? Having never seen it, I was impressed with the film. There will be Emmys.
