Kyle's coming out was an idea that I had toyed with, but I wasn't sure if it was going to make the final draft or not. In the end I'm really happy that I went with it. It added a lot to the character and the season as a whole.

He may be my character, but you taking an interest in someone as underedited as he was did help a lot. I felt like I was obligated to give him a little more screentime, the story just kind of rolled from there. Thanks for the compliment though. :P
