Season 4 First Clip

[Rahul]

It's weird that no one seems to be mentioning the gay married couple who were awesome and wonderfully portrayed. Adira and Gray were not my favorite, adorable as they were. I kind of felt like the actors themselves were too inexperienced and didn't have the chops to meet the moment. That's my take. Hugh and Paul were perfect though. Also, I fucking love Discovery.

Stamets & Culbert never really disappointed. But IMO sometimes fall into the (very mild) trope of being the "too perfect" gay model couple.
I liked early Stamets more when he was kind of an asshole sometimes, and would also have liked to see some up and downs in their relationship. But that's a DIS problem in general, being way too saccharine later on.

I love SNW to death. But it's also very heteronormative. They could have benefited from an Adira in their crew. Though they 100% would emotionally wreck her relationship(s) for good drama.

Stamets & Culbert were constant and the resident couple , I think the discovery executed the concept well to show a gay couple who were mostly stable and happy, they had some though issues after tyler sort of killed Culbert but they worked it through.

Discovery job was to show a gay couple Stamets & Culbert in long lasting relationship and they achieved that. Also more memorable than Adira/Grey. Adira/Grey were just too young and done too on the nose, not comparable to Stamets & Culbert.

I can see Stamets & Culbert in modern family and they will blend fine or just be another gay couple, I could not really see Adira/Gray there, this seem to me how forced Adira/Gray were
