Well, I'm halfway through season 4!

Marcus and Steven make such a cute interracial couple!

Yeah, I just wanted to post and say that. I have a fridge to clear out, and then I'll tuck myself into bed. Ni-ni, all.

Wait... they're supposed to be gay? Ohhhhhh! See, I thought it was the interracial thing!

No, but when Captain Jack (YAY!) gives them their cover identities, he tells them they're going to be posing as a couple on honeymoon to Mars, because it's the most low-profile cover he could come up with. And with two lines of dialogue, JMS shows that in his universe, gay marriage (interacial gay marriage, in SPACE, no less) is so common that nobody looks twice. (Kind of like how the shocking thing about Susan and Talia wasn't that Susan was in a relationship with a woman, but that Susan, with her issues, was in a relationship with a PsiCorps telepath.)

Eat that, Trek.

(I love you, Trek.)

(I hate you.)

(Stop sucking.)

Yeah, B5's handling of gay marriage is my all time favorite. It doesn't get any special attention, because it's just a marriage. And, of course, Marcus is so cute and funny about the whole thing. I like the comment about how their parents want them to get on with it and get grandchildren, implying that gay married couples routinely have kids in some fashion.

Get on with it, where it is "getting it on"? That makes me giggle.

Or, rather, yes, gay is their cover story.
