Queer Sci-Fi Geeks

Um, I know I just posted, but:

"Outland focuses on the lives of a group of gay sci-fi fans and has been compared to The Big Bang Theory.

Outland's producer Laura Waters said: "[Production company] Princess Pictures is proud that closeted science fiction fans will finally have a voice and that a full family of gay Australian characters can go where they never ventured before - prime-time television."

Outland is due to begin in Australia in February and is expected to air in the UK later in 2012."

Um, um, um... HELL YES!? Seriously, I just watched the first episode and it's great! If you're in Australia and can watch things on ABC iview, it's here. Otherwise it's on ABC2 at 10.30 p.m on Thursdays. Have any of you already seen it? Did you love it? Hate it? The ABC should pay me to advertise, seriously. 

"Uh, there's a Dalek in your sugar bowl!"

Genius.

Is this it? Or maybe this is the promo version or something? The actors look different.

I think maybe that was the pitch or the short film it's based on? It definitely follows the plot of the first episode. One of the actors, the guy playing Fab, is the same, but the others are different, yeah. I think the jokes in the (updated, I guess) T.V series are better too, maybe!
