Jon,
yes, that is why I was asking. Interesting response. I was wondering if the writers were being sloppy.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Liese, I agree with everything you say. I think both of our forces are at work here.
Also, I definitely heard a line from him in the preview.

That tallies with what I read in an interview with the actor.
Owen's had sex with men and women, when he dosed the girl in the bar with the alient pheromones her boyfriend started after them so Owen dosed the boyfriend as well and had sex with both of them.
Owen didn't have sex with both of them, it was a ruse to help him escape. I have the feeling he's pretty squarely hetero, actually.
Oh, and in further "Ashes to Ashes" news:

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Owen didn't have sex with both of them, it was a ruse to help him escape.
Oh, I don't know. I thought he totally had sex with both of them. He didn't kiss the boyfriend and run; he sprayed him with the pheremone, knowing that it made him irresistable.

Really? Huh, OK. I was pretty sure he scarpered as soon as he could. I could rewatch, but I have very little desire to.
New episode tonight, anyway!

Thrive to spite them
I haven't watched the episode in a while, but his attitude was like, oh okay I'll dose you and have both of you. It was away to get out of dealing with the guy but it didn't seem like Owen was uncomfortable with the idea of shagging both of them.
I'd say that Owen definitely prefers women but doesn't mind a trip to boyland on occasion.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Yeah, he sprayed, the boyfriend said, "I'm going to have you," and Owen called for a taxi -- not, I thought, in a "get me out of here!" kind of way but rather in an "excellent!" kind of way.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I have a friend who is sexual in the way that Jack is sexual. He just lives sensually. If anybody ever asked him, he'd say yes. Slut, sure, but mostly he was just a guy who enjoyed his sexuality. And it just kinda emanated from him all the time, and people responded.
So every interaction that everyone ever had was charged with sexual tension, especially from the outside looking in. That's kinda the way I see Jack.
Last series' shooting lesson? Totally hot. Does it indicate a specific preference for Gwen? I dunno that it does, necessarily, although it might. I just think Jack sees most situations as sexually charged, and rolls with it.

Yeah, he sprayed, the boyfriend said, "I'm going to have you," and Owen called for a taxi -- not, I thought, in a "get me out of here!" kind of way but rather in an "excellent!" kind of way.
yeah, he looked at the camera and wiggled his eyebrows or winked or something.
