Reactions and Reviews

Ok, I love this one because it is like Ray totally in denial about his sexuality and what he wants. Been in denial for a long time about it we find out. I found that intriguing. Like one of those stories you hear about where a guy is like forty and suddenly just can't take hiding anymore and has to come out. Something has to break and let go. I think in this one we are seeing he process of that. Ray giving in to his desires with Fraser, but hating himself for it later and trying to come up with any reason at all as to what else it could be. Or just trying not to think about it at all if that's the best he can do. Otsoko has me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one of this series. Ray's just so lost in this one and fighting himself so hard it just sucked me in. I don't think I've ever seen a story that really takes on latent homosexuality like this one does. So many writers cop out with that 'I'm not gay, it's just him' crap. Yeah, right like that ever happens. On an ep of the US Queer as Folk Dr.Dave and Michael were talking about that. Michael asked him something like, "So you weren't always gay?" Dave told him, "No I was always gay. I was just in denial about it." I think that sums that up. The 'I'm not gay, it's just him' thing always screams denial to me. Like the writers are just terrified to label the characters as gay. Like it would be some kindof crime for them to be gay. Otsoko shows in this series how it really goes. What the person really goes through. We see the denial even when Ray is with Fraser in a sexual way, how he still just can't face it. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. It's pretty good so far, could really get even better as it goes on. We'll see. [1]
