so here is John and Carole, the first part of their panel. The video is playing from about 11 in when they\u2019re talking about supernatural (for my superwood friends he literally sings and dances about misha). At 14 he gets asked a REALLY stupid question that actually makes John rant, and it\u2019s kinda intense. The whole thing is pretty good though.<\/p>\n

Erm, okay so bring on the flames but I really don\u2019t think the question was that stupid. I get what John was saying. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019ve been told multiple times I don\u2019t exist (among other things, but that one sucks the most lol). I get the defensiveness. But I really think John jumped the gun a little bit. Admittedly, I wasn\u2019t there. However I think what the asker was saying was about\u2026they really were making his sexuality a big deal in Miracle Day. And not to say that they should downplay the fact that Captain Jack has sex with other men (or anything else with sexual organs :p) but suddenly there were gay jokes, and there was conflict, and it was very in your face. And no, that\u2019s not a bad thing, but it was confusing coming from \u2018Jack is very omnisexual and THAT\u2019S NOT A BIG DEAL!\u201d That\u2019s the issue. At least that\u2019s what I got out of that question. Not that John doesn\u2019t have the right to get defensive, particularly when it\u2019s being formed as a criticism to a work that\u2019s obviously very close to his heart, but I feel like if he had actually listened and gotten clarification maybe he wouldn\u2019t have gotten quite so pissed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I think it\u2019s true that the question might have come out differently than it appears if John had waited and clarified what the guy was talking about (although seriously, that guy might have saved himself some grief just by editing, because the way he segued in was enough to put me on the defensive). I understand that the questioner might have even muddled what he meant, due to nerves. I\u2019m not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt because of how he seemed to argue with John, and that \u2018necessary for American audiences\u2019 line threw all my sympathy out the window. But it is true that because John had already taken the defensive, and cut the guy off, it may have been a different question entirely, and we won\u2019t ever know.<\/p>\n

If his question had been about the topic you\u2019ve extrapolated from the video, I\u2019d want to know too. The amount of ribbing Jack\u2019s sexuality got in Miracle Day was larger than other seasons of Torchwood and much more heavy-handed. I liked Rex\u2019s core character but his tasteless dialog was beyond the pale.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
