Agent Dorneget came out to McGee as being gay last night. Granted, he's not a major character, but something tells me he might be around more often.
So, what do you guys think of Dorneget? Would he make an interesting addition to the team?

I think this is an excellent example of starting a thread intended to create controversy and engender flamewars.
But, more importantly, no sane and reasonable person should care about the existence of NCIS as a show. Cancellation would be an even better addition to the team.

I take umbrage at your assertion, pony! I care about NCIS and I'm sane and reason.....
Wait! Crap! Never mind.....

Actually, I don't really think this is going to set much fighting off at all.
Actually the character was not open about it. He even asked McGee not to say anything about it to the others.
The show is still good. I don't really like the new character because there's one geeky McGee type already. The new guy is good for a cameo every so often, but definately not for a full time spot as a field agent. He belongs on the extra crappy NCIS Los Angeles.

Oh man you made my day with this post. So Tired of the "gibs slap" meme at work uh...
A gay character? I cant remember the last time I saw a show that didn't have one.

"ENGENDER." Sure, flame the thread with your sexist language.

Is NCIS the show with the Suicide Girl/lab geek? Yeah, that's the extent of my knowledge. Okay, fine, yeah I know it's got Mark Harmen too.

Mouthy, love your name. Wish I had thought of it.

Not just anyone can do that. It took a gifted Paizo developer.
I've seen every episode of NCIS (except the most recent) and I don't even know who that is.
Not a viewer, but I've gotta say introducing an openly gay character after don't ask don't tell was repealed is one of those moves that I describe as Token Open-Minded. Introducing a closeted gay character while DADT was in effect would have taken some balls, but as is it feels forced.
Take all this with a grain of salt, like I said, I've seen the show maybe twice.
I hope this opens the door to accepting gamer characters and look forward to the first openly gamer character.
Yeah, what do you think about that, Sebastian?

They'll do anything for ratings.
NCIS is a kick butt show with some of the most colorful characters around.
Haven't seen the last few seasons due to busyness so haven't seen the episode in question(barely enough time to watch the daily show these days). If they've decided to make the character's struggles with acceptance a plot point I hope they at least fully detail him and make him interesting beyond his sexuality. Kinda tired of the whole "Yeah LGBT folks have a hard time in our society filled with prejudiced dicks" story line every show seems to dip into at least tangentially these days. While true why not add some depth and relevance to the tale actually being told. Like maybe Tony meets the kid and ends up discovering the reason he can't hold on to a relationship with a woman for more than five seconds is because he doesn't actually feel that way towards women. First gay romance as a kick ass action hero trying to solve crimes while you sort through your new perspective and learn what love is? That could lure me back into sacrificing an hour a day for a show.

I suspect that they are "testing the waters" so to speak. Depending of audience response, he will either appear more frequently or disappear entirely.
I'm happy this thread went the other direction of, "meh, what's the big deal."
Listing this under 'Topics That Will Piss Off a Pony'.Cool. Go create a thread called "DS9 reveals openly african american commander character."
Dude that is so "meh, what's the big deal."

indeed, this is the extent of my knowledge of the show. I don't even find her that attractive, which is weird to me.

Yes. The only reaction should be who cares?
Focusing on our differences weakens us.

I'm so glad someone beat me to that.
Meh, what's the big deal. Billy Crystal played an openly gay character on Soap, way back in the Seventies. It's been no big freaking deal pretty much since then.
But, you know, Kelsey must post new threads every three seconds. So, whatever.
I'm not saying I don't agree with you, but man you could be a little *less* insulting.
That's like me saying "But, you know, Derek just HAS to come in to the thread and be rude when he writes all the time, so, whatever." Doesn't do a lot for the climate to just chuck hostility about.
Re Gay characters. I'm still waiting for the first openly left handed character :P
Here you go. They seem to be following the "Show, don't tell" mantra. But then again, I've been barred from the Left-Handers' Agenda Meetings for repeatedly forgetting to bring the donuts when it was my turn, so I'm not current on all their current plans to undermine America.
I read Lone Wolf and Cub when Dark Horse came out with the new-original-format version; about a third of the way through the story (thousands of pages) I noticed that all the swordsmen were left-handed.
I snapped to alert! Is there a higher incidence of left-handedness in East Asia? Have I discovered some hitherto unknown quirk of handedness?
No, jackass, they just reversed the artwork, cause in Japan they read from the other side of the book; I felt so smart for like a page and a half...
