As a le gay, I just wanna say that was one of the best depictions of gay love I’ve seen on screen (really of any love tbh, but gay love gets portrayed less effectively usually), and it was totally unexpected (and more powerful) jumping out as a surprise vignette in an otherwise very straight, action-based show. The entire episode struck the perfect balance between a depiction that’s not overly sexualized while also not sexless—just revealing the universal beauty of two people who grow together and love each other fully.

Also, the acting was superb, and it was filled with some truly beautiful lines. I was enjoying the show already, but this got me thinking we may be seeing something a bit greater and deeper than I first clocked the show as.
