Glad I didn’t start watching this one. I was on the fence for a lot of reasons, but a full-on gay love story just three episodes in? That’s gotta be some kind of bait-and-switch record.

Also, the actress playing Ellie is too old and legitimately too ugly.

Edit: of course the director of the episode is gay. And his previous work is a bunch of gay stuff. Because that’s who you hire for an epic apocalyptic action drama - a gay dude who turns around and makes the show about gay dudes.

This is the problem with “representation”. If you hire a gay guy to make your big action drama tv show, and he makes a really good big action drama tv show, then who cares that he’s gay? But seemingly every time they do hire a gay guy, he makes the show about homosexuality. The pattern becomes so predictable that you are totally justified in avoiding all media created by gay people because it will invariably be all about gay stuff.
