I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Spike ,'Chosen'


Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"  

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Sheppard kind of glared at him, and said no.

Then Rodney said, PLEEEEEEEEASE?

And then Sheppard smiled flirtatiously and said, well, maybe.

Aw, you missed the bit where Sheppard's glare shattered Rodney's little heart into a bazillion tiny pieces, and he sort of crumpled right there, realising in that moment that losing Sheppard's manlove respect and esteem was actually worse than the shame of not having solved the Ancients' puzzle. And how Sheppard's "Well, maybe," was still pissy.

I share your puzzlement at the possibility that they could possibly be oblivious to the slash.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'd be very interested to know which of the people involved in the production are oblivious. And, of those who are not, who are trying to hinder the slash, who are promoting it, and who are doing their jobs indifferently to it.

Mostly because I can be, like, 6 kinds of geek at once.

Clearly whoever's promoting it is winning.

I dreamt last night that I was arguing vociferously against people who thought Aeryn Sun was a "vapid side character" in the series "Crichton" (although I did admit that her role was less central in "Crichton" than it had been in Farscape). I actually went back twice to debate this with them, particularly as they thought Adam Sandler did more serious, deep characters. Eventually, I just told them that if they thought Aeryn was vapid, they might want to stop watching before Gigi came on. And then I went to take a shower, and Zhaan appeared and I apologized to her in advance for how very rude everyone was. And then my dream turned into a sort of survey of wedding reception sites of the rich and famous.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well, yes, Matt. I mean: Holy gay marriage in the Pegasus Galaxy, Batman!

I'm just imagining a fooseball tournament in the writer's bullpen with the winner crowing "Yes! That's 4 out of seven, Butterfingers! In episode 2.18 we'll open on Sheppard buttoning up his jumper as he leaves McKay's room!"

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, I'm writing "people involved in the production" larger than just the writers.

That's a really funny image, though. And it would totally be foosball.

Hell, in the Pegasus Galaxy this is what passes for a heterosexual kiss.

If I only had a brain...

By the way, did you notice that this week the beard woman McKay had a date with was nowhere to be seen?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I share your interpretation and would have been upset if she had.

I really do not want to see what happens if TPTB start to seriously ship either of them with someone else
