Now we'll know that Sam and G cannot be engaged in any true homoerotic subtext, because Sam Is straight, straight, straight. He has the wife and the baby. Straight.
Yep, I took that ep as TPTB's attempt to de-gay the show -- once and for all, dammit.
And if prying apart the relationship that drew me into the show in the first place wasn't bad enough, they started cramming The Deeks and Kensi Show down our throats (because, apparently, TPTB have decided to pander to shippers) to the point where I started ff-ing through scenes of just the two of them.
Srsly, I loved Dom. I thought it was fantastic to see two African-American guys who were SO different doing the same job. And after his kidnapping, there was so much more they could've done with Dom than just killing him off . It kind of came off like TPTB thought they weren't getting enough of the young white male demographic because there was no young white dude for them to identify with, so they had to shove one in -- and the most annoying one ever written (aside from Kirk on Gilmore Girls). Sadly, I've read that he's really popular with viewers, which... bleargh.
And this week's ep may have been the last straw for me, too. I was beyond WTF with the whole SEALs-R-AWESOME thing, but I honestly don't know if I can even like Sam, G, or Hetty anymore. I haven't been very happy with this season (Nell is another shoehorned-in annoyance I don't care for), but that ep was just beyond the fucking pale.
And this is the second show I've been watching for years that's been royally fucked up this season. The crap they've done on The Mentalist, especially to Cho, has pissed me off, big time, and I've only really been hanging on for Cho and post-killing-her-psycho-fiancee Grace, so I'm thisclose to dumping that, too.
