[QUOTE="BryanDP, post: 3927139, member: 1111"] Thank you for your input. It had its high and low points but overall I liked the show. I don't know how much anyone got paid but I assume it was at least scale. There is a lot of what I consider exorbitant paydays going on in TV and movies but then there are cases like Jon Heder getting paid $1000 to play the titular character in a movie that ended up grossing $40 million. I do know it didn't cost me anything to watch the first two season since it was on broadcast TV. We got Hulu for many other purposes and were surprised to find a 3rd season there. I liked most of the characters, especially First Officer Kelly Grayson. I remember the actress from Friday Night Lights where I also liked her but this was a really different character. The only possible thing I can think of to which you might be referring to as gay and lesbian was the species that was mostly male and procreated with two men and an egg. Of course that wouldn't be lesbian since it was two males and really it wouldn't be gay either because that's how their species procreated. I'm not sure what you call it exactly but perhaps if that species gets in own series someday the writers will explore that further. I actually kind of thought that particular story line kind of went against all the current gender narrative going on in society rather than supporting it. But, admittedly I don't really watch TV real closely. It is more a passive activity for me most of the time so perhaps I missed some nuance or there is a story line I don't remember at all. I just know I'm always fully ready to be offended and was not. I do remember them referring to everyone as "sir" regardless of gender which was my point in posting the reference to the show here today. Pew, pew! <--- just added that because I felt silly typing so much above on a gun forum and wanted this to at least be somewhat gun related. Bryan [/QUOTE]
