Willow ,'Showtime'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

WTF?
I'm only going by vague feelings, here, but it seemed to me that they would have Xander be reckless or dumb in leter seasons. Things that he would not have done when he was younger.
Xander should have come away from The Zeppo with a better sense of maturity.
And he was maturing, but on occasion they seemed to have him become as he called it, the "butt monkey."
Oh Rodney. I see.
Rodney IRT slapstick? yes. at least twice in the first three S2 eps. Although the first incident with the clip could be just nervousness, the whole hands thing last week made me angry. (trying not to spoil)
Rache has some good fanwank about Rodney's behavior in s2: "To me, it's not humorous buffoonery so much as it is an attempt to control things that cannot be controlled, and no one recognizes it."
Hmmm.
I'm enjoying Rodney very much right now.

...meanwhile, House.
So, who's gonna hook me up with House/Wilson, then? Or indeed any other flavour of good House fic?
(I'm guessing Poly recs?)
nips off to check it out.
House/Wilson is damn near text.
Hell, episode 1 the patient was slashing them. And lo, Fay did love the show.
...ah, Poly Recs. Good old Poly Recs, bringing the fic, just as hoped.
For the Jack/Daniel fans, Destina wrote a really beautiful little story that goes a little AU from Moebius part 1. Desert Light. Yum.

No, I think he's really a buffoon. I just don't get the McKay love.

It's like the Wesley love, and the House love, and the Snape love, I think. Clever, side order of clever, lots of extra clever sprinkles, huge helping of arrogance about the aforementioned cleverness, underlying insecurity/damage, snark, more snark, extra snark sauce to hide the insecurity/damage, all served on a shiny big platter'o'slash. Ruthlessness optional, but heart definitely 25 carat gold.
