IMHO — THIS WEEK IN GAY TV
THE OSCARS: Okay, so there was no Brokeback Mountain or Sir Ian McKellen accompanied by gay eye-candy, but Scott Rudin's shout-out to his honey was nice, plus we had that Lewis/Clooney kiss (Lewney?), gender-bending Tilda Swinton, and the always gay-friendly Jon Stewart who acquitted himself admirably.
TORCHWOOD: Judging from the comments on Steven's recap of "Adam", I'm not the only getting annoyed by Torchwood's plot holes and lalala moments. If we're going to have those, we should at least have some snogging between Jack and Ianto. But it was nice seeing Owen as the weenie I know him to be.
TORCHWOOD: As if all of us weren't already desperate for Janto, our interview with Gareth David-Lloyd made us love the idea that much more. I hated seeing Ianto as a serial killer, but the scene of Jack comforting him was killer (pun intended). What do we want? Janto! When do we want it? NOW!
THE WIRE: So how much did that ending for Omar Little suck? A lot, no? Well, at least it came near the end of the series' run and didn't have anything to do with his being gay. Omar was a heck of a character and unlike anything that came before. RIP Mr. Little. (Be sure to check out our new interview with Michael K. Williams about playing Omar.)
AS THE WORLD TURNS: Noah nuzzles Luke, holds his hand, then kicks the you-know-what out of the frat boys. Sorry, but I'm loving this!
AS THE WORLD TURNS: Luke didn't actually say "Get away from him, you bitch!" but he might as well have. Sweet forehead kisses, hospital hand-holding, a butch knock down, drag out fight that they win. Again, what's not to love about this?
Mario Cantone's barely there gay character appeared this week, mostly as comic relief and to say "fabulous" because even in rural Alaska gay men talk like they're in the East Village. As for romance, we saw Mario ogle James Dean. Alas, no sign of Orlando Jones as George.
MAKE ME A SUPERMODEL: ***SPOILER ALERT*** Ronnie Kroell must have watched Nuke this week becasue when Ben gets a little homophobic, Ronnie isn't having any of it. The "bromance" might be dead, but Ronnie is alive and kicking. BTW, be sure to check out last night's liveblog!
SURVIVOR: MICRONESIA: ***SPOILER ALERT*** After calling Chet a girl (um, like that's some terrible thing), Mikey B. got voted off before Chet. Gotta love that karma. Hopefully, right this very minute, someone is pointing at Mikey and going "Bwa-ha-ha! You lost to the gay guy!"
PROJECT RUNWAY: They killed Chris March. Okay, they didn't kill him, but they aufd him and it's practically the same thing.
BIG BROTHER 9: I confess I haven't been watching as I simply can't control my gag reflex long enough. But Dan's recap sums it up including James' gay porn past and Adam (pictured) calling Joshuah a "faggot". Given what Joshuah called one of the women, it's hard to give a hoot about that, but thanks for the epithet CBS! The only good thing about gay representation on this show is that everyone comes from the bottom of the barrel.
