Aaah what did you think of Okun? And Okun’s relationship? I haaaated and loved it.

See I barely remembered the original movie, but when Brent Spiner showed up I was all ‘Oh I remember him!’ Then there was his partner and I didn’t remember him at all and it onnnnnly twigged for me at the end when they were holding hands that yes, they were actually meant to be in a relationship and it wasn’t some queerbaiting thing

…..and then the poor guy dies like five seconds later. (The sheer out-of-nowhere-ness of his death wouldn’t have been out of place in a parody, in all honesty.) So….ur….on the one hand, Roland Emmerich is gay and he considers it a step forward I guess? I don’t know if anyone else will though.
