"Trauma" (1.1) recap: Pilot

When editor Michael Jensen scooped the exclusive news back in August that one of the paramedics in NBC's new show Trauma would be gay, we all had fun playing the guessing game as to who it would be.

Well, the show premiered last night ... and we're still playing the guessing game. But with what we now know, we can definitely narrow the field down.

Before we take a look at the frenetic events of last night's pilot (explosions, explosions, explosions! crisis! crisis! crisis!), let's reintroduce the cast, and see if we can "detect the gay!"

Boone (Derek Luke)

Boone is a paramedic, and haunted by the deaths of two colleagues a year ago. He can't bring bring his anxiety and depression home to his wife and kids, so he cheats with random women to relieve the pain (which is certainly an ... interesting excuse for cheating).

Gay Character? - highly unlikely.
