I wonder if he fucked Ted.

 

[brianjones]

I wonder if he fucked Ted.

that will be his death cry as walt is killing him

i also fucked ted

 

[dave is ok]

Him not fucking Ted is absolute proof that he isn't gay.

 

[big ander]

that may be, but i'll personally wait for next week's podcast to confirm this.

gilligan: the bladder attack is a valid interpretation, but not the only interpretation!

 

[GavinGT]

You're mind must have been elsewhere (I think we all know where....) but they pointed out they're obviously not brothers in the scene. (white meat/dark meat joke)

They were brothers.

Spoiler

Chicken Brothers

 

[BlueTsunami]

Hey Walt, just wanted you to know I fucked Ted.

What... did you just say?

 

[iammeiam]

I will laugh quite a bit if we ultimately learn that Gus used to be a major political or criminal player in Chile who had to flee when his relationship with his partner was discovered.

The subtext existed, it probably means nothing, may well have been unintentional during writing, but it isn't a crazy assumption (had the partner been female, I have a feeling everyone would be assuming boning was taking place and calling the platonic interpretation crazy.)

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Gus visiting one of his many other drug front operations.

I think most people would agree with this, all the "Gus is DEFINITELY gay" or "Gus is DEFINITELY not gay" posts are still stupid

Who is going to write the Gus/Ted/Sky erotic fanfic? I'd do it but I'm deep into this Crazy 8/Dead Jane/Flynn story, just working out the last character details.

 

[BertramCooper]

Veena Sud.

 

[kehs]

Going to?

 

[big ander]

Veena Sud.

This would be the greatest. All build up and zero climax.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Veena Sud.

 

[Lo_Fi]

Am I watching the same show as you guys? I didn't see any homosexual subtext there. Gus and his business partner were defending each other so passionately because they didn't want to get killed, not because they loved each other.

Spoiler

Gus and Mike are always talking on the phone together. They must be gay.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

This thread right now...

 

[Imm0rt4l]

If you're a gay guy who's open enough to sit with your lover at a drug dealing meeting but tough enough to slit someone's throat with a box cutter, yeah that's a pretty fresh character.

Indeed.

Ugh. It's been said a dozen times, but:
Nobody

Spoiler

intelligent

is saying they are DEFINITELY gay. Just as no one should be saying they definitely aren't.
There were little tiny details of the meeting, small differences in the way Gus acts there, that could point to him being homosexual. They could also mean nothing. People have only been noting it as a possibility.
Also your spoiler'd part is kinda sorta really ignorant

 

[bud]

if gus is gay, my gaydar's broken. if he really is gay, though, i wonder how the writers will incorporate into the storyline. maybe have him fuck ted to get back at walt?

 

[blame space]

are there wire spoilers in this thread because i'm about to get PISSED*

*not really, i just assumed it because i saw a mean-looking black dude and iw ant to eventually watch the show

 

[blame space]

gus being gay is both the most plausible and incorrectly-speculated incident in the history of television

 

[overcast]

Seriously. I'm pretty sure you guys just spoiled something pretty significant in the wire. So thanks for that.

 

[bud]

maybe walt let jane die so he could have jesse all for himself, eventually. homosexually.

i like it

my dick likes it

 

[Exclamation-One]

OKAY.

GUYS.

Giancarlo Esposito, the actor who plays Gus, played the character as if his 'hermano' was his lover. That is all.

Even Vince Gilligan, who is normally tight-lipped and wishy-washy about character motivations in the show, said it was not an invalid interpretation. Take that as you will.

Quiet you! Its obviously crazy talk and we pretend that everyone is gay! Probably one of them gay agendas no doubt!

 

[cacophony]

holy shit you guys are still talking about this?

who fucking cares? it's not like it changes anything

 

[BlueTsunami]

It changes everything.

 

[markot]

Oh...

And wtf was jesse wearing >_<;

 

[blame space]

Jesse's shirt was the worst thing i've ever experienced on cable television

 

[Exclamation-One]

 

[cacophony]

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

That shirt throws Jesse's whole sexuality into question as well.

He could be asexual because he'll never get laid in that thing.

 

[Superimposer]

Seriously. I'm pretty sure you guys just spoiled something pretty significant in the wire. So thanks for that.

Not really, Omar's gay. You find out like right at the start. Nothing ruined there

 

[SuperÑ]

You guys are insane for believing Gus is gay just from that flashback.

 

[chogidogs]

Gus bought Jesse that shirt. Coz you know...

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

It's like he's wearing a god damn chandelier.

 

[tycoonheart]

This episode was Cranston's best performance of the season. This is the type of stuff that will win him another Emmy's. Things are ramping up. Loved the Gus flashback.

Show me the quote from Giancarlo Esposito.

 

[Angry Fork]

Seriously. I'm pretty sure you guys just spoiled something pretty significant in the wire. So thanks for that.

You find out Omar's gay like in the 2nd episode, maybe even the first I don't remember. It's not significant (in terms of some kind of big cliff hanger epic conclusion in your face reveal kind of thing).

 

[YoungHav]

so why haven't you guys watched The Wire yet then? Omar's sexuality was a major plot twist and now the show is ruined.

 

[smokeymicpot]

holy shit you guys are still talking about this?

who fucking cares? it's not like it changes anything

It will matter once he bangs Ted.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Worst shirt ever

 

[Kafarabo]

I think for the part where is showed Hector pissing into the pool, it should have also showed his dick, it would be more realistic.
Seems weird that they didn't show it.

 

[Cornballer]

A couple nice image/gif sequences from this week's episode that people put up over on tumblr:

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

This was like the most intense, tensest episode evah.

 

[Cornballer]

I imagine this will be very useful, too:

 

[Diseased Yak]

Goddamn I loved Gus tapping his fingers together in the elevator. He's so fucking boss.

This show, just amazing.

Gotta be a "Do it. DO. IT."

Right?

EDIT: LOL n/m

 

[Nyx]

Yep, EP8 must be one of the best tv-show episodes EVER.
