This episode was a little disappointing. Brad wasn't naked at all!
It's not looking great for LGBTQ+ main characters so far. Bi/pan sexuality still is on the table, but our four main leads have all been implied to have (at least) heterosexual attraction. Really hoping it's not relegated to background characters or the kinda trite my two dads or my two moms.
As, I think, I was the first to bring up the name Barnes as a human name in the other thread, I want to say it doesn't bother me at all. I was just speculating. The idea that Dax and Jadzia are human names too is uninteresting. In fact, I did meet a man named Dax once. I can imagine any of the aliens' names could be real names in any of the thousands of languages of Earth. I had already assumed that the name was unrelated to the character design as a real world explanation. That's boring. Ultimately, I don't care, and fully accept Barnes as a Trill name if that is what it is. It actually bothers me much more when characters who are clearly not white have European names (Tyler and Georgiou), and yes, I know there are plenty of reasons for a non-white person to have a European name (like the legacy of the African slave trade). It's just weird and, if I may coin a term, Euronormative.
