Hald and Catch Fire

Jul 14, 2014 14:52


I am so damn happy the writers decided to make Joe bisexual. And I love it even more that Joe is not stereotypically depicted as the cheating asshole. Yes, Joe can be an asshole but he never cheats - at least not after he and Cameron are "officially" together.

I love that Bosworth punched that designer-twat in the face after he had asked whether Joe was queer.

Especially for a show set in the 80s it makes me happy they decided to show that Joe's last long-term relationship was with Simon, a black guy. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to downplay his character to his skin-colour! He seems like a cool guy and I am really disappointed that we probably won't see more of him.

Even though I am sure a lot of peope will disagree with me, I love it that he doesn't put a label on his sexuality.

The only thing I find really sad is that the on-screen relationship is with a woman and they never really show on-screen stuff between two guys. Like, that one time he obviously had sex with that guy he met at that meeting and we didn't really see Simon and Joe kiss properly.

Halt and Catch Fire is not perfect, I know that, but I sure as hell am happy that they decided to just make the main character bisexual and not have the mainstory revolve around that.
Representation matters.

To be honest, I do not understand why this show is not more popular. With Lee Pace as main character and the topic being computers especially.

EDIT: I am still a bit mad they decided to make Constantine straight even though he is bi in the comic books. (What else did I expect from David S. Goyer?) But since the show doesn't look too good I won't watch it anyway.
