User blog comment:SaganamiFan/Reaction to "Monsoon"/@comment-82.41.248.217-20111219030412

Having just read through the question and the comments....wow. I'm rather shocked at the evidence toward a complete lack of education. Since when does one kiss make someone homosexual? Jeez. The scientist was stressed, pumped full of adrenalin, had gained a wee bit of a hero complex on Magnus for saving her life and taking on the bad guys...it's pretty well documented that in such a circumstance, when there is an attractive person nearby, all those wonderful chemical reactions going on in your body can drive you to initiate sexual behaviour. That Magnus responded isn't exactly hard to understand - she's just spent 113 years ON HER OWN, with no companionship. When was the last time she was kissed with any passion? She's a kick-ass, independent, intelligent woman who has had to learn to live beyond the standard human drives. That doesn't mean she doesn't have them. Give the lass a break. After all the heartache and heartbreak, all the disasters and near-misses, the losses and the backstabbings...she's entitled to have a moment to enjoy some uncomplicated passion when it falls into her lap. If Helen finally giving in for even a second to something that is so naturally human - a need to feel wanted and desired - is enough to make someone stop watching, those people were neither true fans of the show or anyway comparable to decent human beings. BTW I'm a straight female. Doesn't stop me thinking that Magnus is beautiful and desirable and, if I were that way inclined, I'd be damned if I passed her up. As it is, I'll continue with my vague hope to find a male version!
