Merkin Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I warmed toward him a little bit last season. Now, not so much. Quote Link to comment
FreeThinker Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Well, season four is over and I have to ask, "Why is the only gay character the villian?" I can't imagine Julian Fellows is straight, so why would he make the one gay character in the entire show a schmuck? Quote Link to comment

I can't imagine Julian Fellows is straight, so why would he make the one gay character in the entire show a schmuck? Well, it was a different time. Maybe future seasons will introduce a more sympathetic gay character. I think in Thomas' case, the guy is a shmuck first and a gay guy second, so his sexuality isn't necessarily the justification for his other issues. One does wonder how well he did on the ship to and from America. I think the biggest single laugh I had in the entire series was when Lady Mary commented to her brother, "I know everything -- I've been married." (This, in response to Lord Grantham's disbelief that she would know about what Thomas would do on board ships with sailors.) Quote Link to comment
Chris James Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Geeeze, didn't you guys get enough dramatic silliness when Dallas was on television? Quote Link to comment
