The Hunt Begins
Thanks to the heads up of several on my Flist, I now know I must begin the search for the August addition of Out Magazine. I knew Jamie was to be their cover boy, but I thought the issue would hit newsstands closer to the October 6 premiere of Season 3. If you would like to behold the pretty here's the cover and the article with more photos within.
SPOILER warning. There is something in the very last paragraph that I don't think would be much of a surprise to anyone, but wasn't explicitly mentioned in the season finale. So you may wish to skip that, but I would highly recommend checking out the rest of the article. It is less about Jamie then about about the popularity of BSG in the gay community (makes sense why, but I had never really thought about it before) and how the genre is evolving, but very interesting. I'm just deliriously happy that he (and the show by extension) is getting some really good press. Plus, did I mention the cool photos? ;)

I hope she's a cylon, I really do. They have so butchered her character that's the only thing that could make me like her again.

There's also a big casting spoiler in the second-to-last paragraph as well. I've given up on avoiding that kind of stuff--it's unavoidable.
Hey, can you link the blog? I'd be interested in taking a look at it.
I had to go look for the casting spoiler because I thought I missed something! Actually, Lucy's role was announced before Season 2 wrapped and it's been talked about endlessly so I figured it was common knowledge. Plus, she's been doing interviews, plus she's going to be on the cover of TV Guide with much of the cast so, yeah, I don't even think of that as a spoiler anymore.

I had no idea, but only because I do a total, complete press blackout as the only way to reliably avoid spoilers of any kind. But, as I said, this is the kind of thing that I think it's reasonable to assume is common knowledge.
On the gay issue, however, it emphasised why I'd be a bit (or a lot, depending on my mood) annoyed if they did the Star Trek thing -- talk about how you're "going to" include gay characters and then never doing it. I don't want them to do "a gay storyline", simply for the reason that I don't want to watch a soap opera and I thought season 2 was already heavy on the romance stuff. But acknowledging gay people exist, in a show that otherwise does not shy away from sexual matters at all, would be about damn time.
PS: Er, written in a hurry. Have guest, might not be around as much. Just so you know. :-)
This is totally my opinion, but I think Gaeta is gay. And while there would never be a Gaeta/Baltar romance on screen, because, Gods knows Baltar is all about the ladies - real and imagined ;) - it would be nice to acknowledge that they have a character whose gay and it's a non-issue like sex and gender.
gay, I thought he was a dalek.
I didn't know about the spoiler, but in retrospect it does make sense.
The spoiler wasn't completely shocking to me. I'd seen speculation about it since the finale aired. Still not sure how I feel about, but we shall see. They haven't tackled divorce yet!
I didn't know John Barrowman was out. I am certainly looking forward to Jack's slutty adventures. Hee.
The spoiler is technically a spoiler, but not really a shock to the system, especially with a year jump.
I found out about John Barrowman when the last 'Who' series aired. I didn't really know much about him other then he was probably best known for his theatre work before this.
i was accidentally spoiled for that from an article that wasn't marked as spoilery a week or so ago. silly spoiler... i actually HAD NO IDEA. i'm so daft, really...
anyways, thanx for the links. :)
i really feel like strangling the directors/producers/whoever is responsible for cutting so much out of eps. :(
