Gratuitous Dino Fetscher

His character in Apple TV's Foundation series was killed off this week. I am very disappointed.

Speaking of Foundation, if you have AppleTV+ and you like sci-fi, I would strongly suggest checking it out. Since my teens I have attempted to read the souce material several times, but never got far enough in that it held my interest. It's very dense; perhaps even moreso than DUNE, and try as I might I just couldn't get into it.

That being said, even Season One of this series had me reaching for the remote on more than one occasion. But I stuck with it, and my patience has paid off in Season Two. I think I finally understand what is going on in Asimov's universe, and as we near the end of this season, I have to admit I am very engaged.

As I said, I never made it more than about 50 pages into the book, but I seriously doubt it was as gay-inclusive as Apple's telling of the story. Glawen Curr (Fetscher, himself an out-and-proud queer actor) and Bel Roise (Ben Daniels) are a married same-sex couple in the series, but they aren't the only one. It was still kind of surprising when it was first revealed—but I know it shouldn't have been. We are talking a story that takes place literally thousands of years in the future.

Right?

I seriously doubt the writers would ever take these two characters in that direction—despite the fact that all the signs are there and the actors themselves have said they'd be open to it. They've already got a lesbian couple on the show, so is it really needed?

But with Falchuk/ Murphy who knows?
