I don't watch the O.C., but when I saw that ad for it showing two women about to kiss, I thought it had "ratings stunt" written all over it.

I didn't like the Xena/Gabrielle thing. They felt like sisters to me. I didn't mind Xena having relationships with othe women, like Lao Mar, but I hated it when the show implied she and Gabrielle were being non-platonic. It grossed me out.
