In the books is he straight or what? Also Margot/Janet and he are annoying. Like idk why they're even in the show.

No - what makes you think he would be?

No tears please, it's a waste of good suffering.

Well Mr. Pinhead...
Anyways the spoilers I read said he has some sort of wife in Fillery?

[–] LeMarchand 8 years ago

I think you'll find it's Eliot (well, Captain Elliott Spencer) who's Pinhead .

Eliot (Waugh) is forced into a hetero marriage in the last episode of season 1, which is why he has a Fillorian wife.

Yes, Eliot is gay in both universes. However, the major difference in character is where he came from. I believe in the books he was born in Oregon, whereas for the show he is the farmer's son from Indiana.

Eliot's forced marriage will make more sense as his story unfolds into season 2 and beyond, since he, Janet/Margo, Alice, Julia and Q, all become very important figures in Fillory.

How about him kissing Margo weary passionate in the trailer for season 2? Is seems like he is bi. Marriage was forced but the kiss not.

[–] kmfdmsucks 8 years ago

I didn't see the new trailer yet, but, I highly HIGHLY doubt that the producers would change a key defining character trait for the show.

The scene was most likely shot for shock value due to his forced marriage with a woman.

I love him and Margot/Janet. It's the pure gay male/straight female relationship (at least I hope so). They can't "get" anything from each other. There's little room for sexual tension and the sexuality of one can't be manipulated by the either person.

It's also the flip of Martin and Julia (Shakespeare was also very big on relationship mirroring).

I wonder what Margo's background will turn out to be. She is very big on using male euphemisms for female sexual experiences. Like when she said "That's because he blows you!" to Alice

Isn't he bi in the books? Thought I remembered he also hooked up with Janet in the books

[–] LeMarchand 8 years ago

He has the same drugged-up threesome in the books, but I think that's it. (Not read the third).

Eliot's sexuality?

It can be boiled down to two words. Yes, please!

Eliot's clearly pansexual.
