In the recent Halloween episode George Takei had brief cameo appearance. He played an ESL teacher. The grandmother was in the class.

Maybe for him being in this episode it was not so much a gay thing as an Asian thing.

Which wouldnt be surprising or unusual since the show IS about Asian culture.

Holy crap. He was an actor playing a role. End of story.

In the recent episode the youngest brother is writing his will. He wants his oldest brother to be the executor. So he goes to him to ask him. He starts out by saying that he has something important to ask him. But before he can finish the oldest brother says "Do it in the shower". ;-)))

 

The middle brother ate some casserole despite worrying that it might go to his hips. I wonder if he'll be gay -))

I loved the "do it in the shower" reply too! It was unexpected and very, very funny. What really made me laugh out loud, though, was that it's exactly the advice my older brother gave to me years ago.

Well the middle brother as well as the youngest brother BOTH seem a bit "fey" to me.... They are MUCH gayer than I was at THAT age, and I'm a FLAMER now.....

The Chinese have a rich and ancient culture going back thousands of years yet the oldest son ignores that for hip hop.

The younger generation is moving away from the rigid norms of their elders. As the World evolves, so must you.

I dont think he's foresaking it. I think he's enhancing and broadening it. It's just all in the perspective.

I can understand that. I'm 6th generation American of English heritage. I like Shakespeare but that doesn't mean that I can't like Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Dante.
