You're probably right about the rants. I never actually read any, I just saw the two eps of WW where he gets his snit on vicariously through Josh.
I kind of feel like he already started the fannish slapping around in last week's ep. And I can see how you could read it as as stealing the payoff. It just didn't hit me that way. It felt to me like finding a way to give us our cake and eat it too -- and I'm okay with that, since otherwise I suspect we'd get no cake at all.
Anyway I really wouldn't want them to come out in the third episode. I suspect they're meant to be just genuinely straight guys and are going to stay that way, but if that weren't the case, they should either have started out openly gay in the pilot or else give us a narrative arc and come out during sweeps.
