It's all become so predictable and laughable, you NEVER see a hetero couple, it's like they are extinct.
BUT, in Episode 3 they handled it very well and it didn't feel fake or forced.

Ok, I don't have the same vehement reaction as you haha, but, yes, I do agree w what you're saying. If we go by %ages, supposedly heteros are 90% of the population but it seems like they are the minority in media portrayals. I dunno what the agenda is, but they are going about it the wrong way regardless. I just can't help but feel it's yet another ulterior motive thing, why now and why so emphatic? I totally accept others and I accept natural ways of introducing elements and nuances, but to be overbearing is a bit too much. To be fair though, as a counterpoint, maybe it only seems excessive because these *never* used to be portrayed at all. In any event, I don't have such a strong reaction, in the end, I'm not gonna lose any sleep either way.

I agree with you entirely. This has nothing to do with my "personal beliefs". This is a fictional, scfi, fantasy TV show. Nothing more or less. It just happens to have real life elements. The acting and emotions of this episode are undeniable.
And who even uses the term "woke" anymore?
I find that the ones that do, are easily offended about anything. You know, like "Karen's".

Tx, I put a warning just in case.
I think some ppl put way too much emphasis on ppl's sexuality. Yes, it can be distracting for whatever reason/agenda, but if the story holds, I'll still watch it unless they insert scenes like that at the gas station for Zoolander every 5 mins LOL.
Who knows about the 'woke' term, I'm alright w it even though it's meant to be derogatory; some ppl really do need to 'wake up' haha.
