If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but less magical.

I'm glad they are going in the relationship direction. And I'm glad it was Bennett who was the one who didn't want Walt to date anyone else. I would like to see what direction they take. Though I think they won't be having sex anytime soon. I think Bennett doesn't want to rush Walt into anything yet.

It was perfect how it was Bennett who had to stop Walt from going on that date. I do think Walt is ready to have sex with Bennett - he was certainly ready at the end of the first season but Bennett wanted to wait because of Walt's age. But that won't be stopping them now. Maybe the whole AIDS-epidemic will and that's how the story will continue, before anything sexual happens between them?

Well there kisses have been pretty tame for a two young men. Now I don't know if that's because it's a same sex male couple on network television, or because of the age difference, or because the writers want to take their time. But storywise, I think there should be some make out scenes or more couple contact before they have sex. So it's more believable than just hearing randomly they are sleeping together. There needs to be build up or it's just blah. Perhaps because of the AIDS-epidemic, Bennett gets tested before they take that leap. He's negative, but the whole episode is them wondering and being worried. They have sex soon after, but it's safe sex with a condom.
What year is this show on again? How much did they know about the disease at the time and prevention? I doubt they will dabble too much into the disease, this is a pretty light hearted show. And the boys are now exclusive, so I'm sure they will be good for a while. But I wouldn't be surprised if down the line. A hot new guy comes and starts up a connection with Walt. And young Walt might start to be curious about what else is out there.

TCD is supposedly based in the early 80s, so nothing later than 1985. Now, as for Walt and Bennett, I hope that the show will have more scenes with them discussing how far they each want to go, in regards to sex and not just because of the current AIDS crisis during that time. They're both young, attractive men who are desirious of one another. Bennett's at least 21 to 22 years of age and has been with other men, before Walt. Walt's 18, has his senior year of high school to get through AND his first official boyfriend. Will they actually get to have sex with each other? Hopefully. I just want it to be addressed, because even with the crisis, people were still having sex. It would be interesting if after Walt and Bennett make love and have been dating for awhile, to see if Walt gets antsy about wanting to have chances in dating other men, besides Bennett?
I know that the show is about Carrie and her romantic love life, with the guy who primed her for Big, but I find that storyline dull, ridiculous and not interesting.

I have to agree on the rest of the show being (very) dull when Walt and Bennett aren't there... Just like the latest episode. I hope to see their relationship moving forward but I could see Bennett wanting to be certain that Walt was ok with everything (just hope that they don't drag it out)! We all know that they are both ready, so I hope we get a lot more development in the next episode (if only they'll be there... )

MusicLiveOn uploaded a clip from the 6th episode (I haven't watched episode 5 yet, but from what I read neither Walt nor Bennett made an appearance):

I love how Walt and Bennett's relationship develop. Think it's rather adorable. Would have loved a spin-off featuring the 2 of them. The latest episode is definitely sweetness overload. Walt is downright cute!! But looking at the ratings, I hope they will continue with Season 3. I think the show has potential. The characters in the show are pretty likeable so far (with the exception of Dorrit).

The characters in the show are pretty likeable so far (with the exception of Dorrit). Walt and Bennet are SOOO adorable! I wouldn't mind a spin-off either. Don't watch most of the show anyway - apart from Walt and Bennet. I thought my theet would start rotting because of all the sweetness. Brendan is playing Walt in such a vulnerable way. Just they way he was looking at Bennet, being so innocent... My heart! The only problem I have with Walt and Bennet's storyline is that they are dragging it out... Now they've said "I love you" (and they didn't even kiss after, like wtf?) but when is the sex happening? And why are they not even talking about it? It's still good to know they'll appear in the next episode though. Dorrit? That's Carrie's sister, right? I don't get why some shows have to make screentime for some characters... I don't get why we have to watch Carrie's dad or her sister. They are not interesting characters and they take up sreentime from the more interesting ones.

^Definitely did not care about Carrie's father and Sebastian too. I actually like some of the characters - Samantha, Mouse, Maggie and Larissa (especially, love her British accent).

But hasn't her storyline only been about sleeping with her boyfriend and breaking up with him? What I'm trying to say is: why not spend more time on the important characters and give them some juicy storylines? And maybe try to focus more on the age group who actually watches the show. That's maybe not so much Dorrit as some of the other characters... Though Dorrit seemed to be more important in the first season than she's been in the second so far. Walt should definitely get more screentime! His story could be much more interesting than what they are doing now. I'll hope there will be more drama for Walt and Bennet both. They have mentioned Walt trying to stay under the radar in school and mentioned how bad it would be if he came out to his parents. I would love to see some of those stories.

I kinda don't want them to have Walt come out just yet. I would rather see his relationship with Bennett more and see how he grows as a character. He's just accepted that he's gay, he's found a guy he's over the moon in love with, and he's really happy in that part of his life. But he's in the closet for several reasons. He's still a teenager in high school, does he know what he wants to be when he grows up? He already has so much to process without adding on his family and everyone else knowing. Because I can't see Walt's family being ok with him being gay or the kids at school.
Did Bennett say his ex roommate was named Stanford as in Standford Blatch from Sex and the City?

Ah, I haven't seen every episode. So that explains why I was surprised.

Well, Walt will not have to worry about coming out anymore, 'cause that's happening next week! I'm just afraid that the first scene with Walt next week, will be with him at Carrie's doorstep. I kind of want to know what his parents say and what he'll tell them - especially about his realtionship with Bennet and what he's been doing in New York. Kudos to the writers to put that picture in the papers (and what a cute picture! ) in the last episode. When I saw that Walt and Bennet had their picture taken at the party, it looked like Walt hid his face behind Bennet and I thought the next episode would be Walt freaking out because he was almost caught. So glad we can skip that part! But poor Walt - now he's suddenly out to everyone all at once. It'll be interesting to see how people react to it. Carrie's dad is delightedly awkward about it! I think Walt will make use of Bennet's offer to call him...

At least he has a loving home to go to with Carrie and her family. And he still has Bennett, who I can see being supportive and loving. Now I wonder if Walt's parents kick him out right away after seeing the photo. Or are they going to tell him to give Bennett up and start acting "normal" again. He says no to their demands, so they kick him out.
