[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Which one is that? Farscape, Stargate?

Farscape, which really did a wonderful, twisted take on the concept. The whole thing was friggin' brilliant.

I didn't know there were other fandoms where MPREG was canon. Which ones?

There's a fandom for Junior?

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

This is a fairly minor fandom (just me and five or six other guys left I think), but Mpreg-meaning men getting pregnant-is Sliders canon. There's one episode from about the third season where they travel to a parallel universe where women can't carry babies to term for some reason and so men have to take over for the last trimester. One of the Sliders ends up being mistaken for his version from that world and gets impregnated; then there's some kind of murder plot against him.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Before Sliders was Alien Nation, and before that...hmmm.

Oh, that's right...I only vaguely remember how that one worked.

MPREG also canon in Norse Mythology, strangely enough -- Loki is the mother of Sleipnir. Seriously.

Oh sure. Blame it all on my ancestors.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Other pregnant men on TV I can think of: Cosby Show dream episode, Quantum Leap, Star Trek Enterprise, and the new Fantasy Island.

The belly is out there.

OMGWTF MPREG!

I choose to not look at the MPREG. Is it Vincent? Why do I hope it's Vincent?

I finally showed Lost to a French-speaking friend of mine tonight, so I got the bits of Rousseau's transmission that I'd missed before. What's with the black rocks? Do we know what the black rocks are? Do they have something to do with the black and white stones? Why is it that the more I watch the show, the more questions I have? I want some answers, dammit! Okay, maybe I also want to be teased a little more. Just a bit, though.
