Quantico
How I wish we could go back to September, before this FBI drama debuted, and stop myself from watching it in the first place.
In ( one of the worst gay story lines in TV history, we meet Simon (Tate Ellington), who may be gay or just faking it.
Then there’s openly gay analyst Elias (Rick Cosnett) who seems to challenge Simon, but ends up being a traitor who throws himself out a window rather than face the music. Talk about dredging up old Hollywood cliches.
How to fix this mess? The entire first half of Quantico was about learning the core cast’s secrets—but how about a trans character whose gender identity isn’t a secret?
Not every LGBT character has to be noble and perfect but to have one end up not gay at all and another be a sniveling coward and double-crosser blows bigger than any hidden terrorist bomb.
I’m holding out for a hero but, until then I’ll be turning the dial.
