Via Sean (I'm just gonna keep stealing the links from ya today, Sean, since YOU'VE STOLEN MY MAN) comes this link to Wizard, where they interviewed Battlestar Galactica's producers, David Eick and Ronald Moore, about ending the show next season. When asked if he has any regrets about what they've covered with the show, Moore expresses what is probably a big regret of many a fanboy:
He really misses out by not mentioning they never put Helo, Apollo and Anders in an interstellar steam room where they wrestled each other, either. What? Huh? I just fainted.
On the serious tip, though - after Jamie Bamber was on the cover of Out Magazine, you'd think they could give us some sort of clue that a single gay did indeed survive the Cylon-apocolypse other than their fetishized Hot Cylon Chicks Tag Team Baltar scenario. Might I remind them of this bit from the Out article, when asked about the lack of any gays in BSG as of the start of last season:
So yeah, hey - where's the gay?
Check out the interview if you're a fan of the show - and if you're not, what the heck's wrong with you? - it's good stuff.

"Well, as far as you know you haven’t seen any gay characters,” says Eick, claiming that because the characters are still dealing with the annihilation of civilization, there’s not much room for gay story lines yet. “As we evolve through the series and get further away from that cataclysm, we may feel like it’s less of a stretch to start showing people getting involved with each other. Who’s to say who won’t turn out gay?”
Bamber champions the prospect: “There’s no reason, in a world that is gender-blind, on the Battlestars and across this fleet, that we haven’t had an overtly gay relationship come to fruition. It should be there, and it should be as unabashedly honest as the heterosexual relationships."
So yeah, hey - where's the gay?
