It does have a bit of a hurdle to get into, I swear. I'm two eps in (I probably shouldn't be going back and doing the commentary right after each ep), and I can objectively see that it's quality, and the amount of talent oozes off the screen, but I'm not addicted.

But it's definitely one of those shows that makes me feel like the shortcoming is mine and not its.

Give it a season, really. It's not a show that exists in serialized chunks; it's more like a Russian novel (if a Russian novel had gay assassins). You will not regret how slow it builds. And leave those commentaries! I haven't heard the season one ones but the season 2 ones have spoilers.

Do not EVEN get me started on the grammatical kerfuckery that is "Live and Let Die." Gah.

No, do get started. Because I do figure it could be fixed, and I'm not sure what I'm missing.

I'm in the other camp. Slept with a woman. Really dug it, but it made me certain I was pretty darn straight despite the pleasure it gave me. I realized I didn't hunger to do it again as often as possible, the way I do with men. If I had great sex with a guy, I wanted more more more. I spent time with this woman after we did the delicious deed and although I was perfectly open to continuing, I just did not want to. I sometimes fantasize about women, but then I fantasize about everything, so I don't find that indicative of my proclivities. Vanilla me.

And leave those commentaries! I haven't heard the season one ones but the season 2 ones have spoilers.

It's the Netflix curse--since I'm not going to have them all in my hand at once, I figure I might as well get them listened to ASAP. But you're right--they're going to assume ep 1 that I've seen the whole series. I just don't want to miss the creatorly goodness.

I still have disc 1. Maybe this weekend.

I found that each season takes about four episodes to get into. It takes that long to set up all the pieces so they can start moving them around in interesting ways.

But in this ever changing world in which we live in...

I see that, and the commentaries are probably only filmed by the time the next season is shot. But it's a show you just don't want to be spoiled by.

So, all the people who sing "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans," including the people who are from there, are DOIN IT RONG? That is seriously fucking hilarious.

I make an exception for the sake of rhyming in songs. But only good songs.

However, if there are a lot of people like me who, for whatever reason, experience the same thing maybe that's the reason for the idea that there's really not such a thing as bi.

Gud, we may be talking at cross-purposes. My point is that "ending up with a man"=straight. Sexual identity is highly personal. To many, especially those (but not only) in the queer community, making that decision or assuming for someone else is not appreciated. Depending on how close you are to those in your sample, you may find it interesting to discuss with them and ask how they perceive themselves.

Sexual identity is not just who you have sex with - it's also who you're attracted to, etc. I am fair certain that even if I marry a dude next month and we live happily ever after until we die simultaneously, I will always and forever amen find certain chicks attractive. And vice versa if I find me a good woman.

Right. Back to this statement - my condensed response would be that those people are making extremely problematic assumptions based on a heteronormative and static interpretation of others' sexual identity.
