I suck at amusing re tellings. Unfortunatly I'm not a witty person.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
No, I mean, it was funny, with the "Hi! I look like a 40 year old man, but am actually 13 inside. I'm painting my toenails pink right now, AIFG!" and all -- very familiar --, but you definitely saved the punchline for last.
Inappropriate quotation/reference of serious artwork, in service to the idiotic brand of fanfic, is more fun than you can shake T. S. Eliot at.
(Quotation of serious artwork in service to the excessive, annoying and overbearing brand of fanfic is just lame, but Langston Hughes and strip poker? Wack genius!)

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
Aw. Poor askye *pets*
Also, I have a story in progress over on Wraithbait. This is the first fanfic that I've ever gotten further along than a page or two, so me happy.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Do you think the writers know what they're doing? Or is the same cluelessness about how to write women's roles also manifesting as them being completely oblivious to the Mckay/Sheppard subtext? I wouldn't have thought it possible to achieve near-Angel levels of UST without the writers intentionally aiming for it, but all the interviews seem to concentrate on "Duet" and the faux slash between Beckett and Cadman in Mckay's body.
They know. They must; God knows they've heard about Jack/Daniel for long enough, so I'm pretty sure they knew the reaction they'd get here. I'd rather doubt that it's intended the way some of the Angel stuff was--I mean, I don't think they're sitting around saying "how can we gay this up a little and make the slashers happy?"--but I very much doubt they're surprised.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have nothing to say about Atlantis that hasn't already been said, really. Although they managed to out-gay the previous two episodes, which had a) an actual same-sex kiss, and b) the whole team in bondage.
Fay, I checked with people this weekend, and we all agree that Quantum Leap never had a guy/guy kiss.

Um, BSG people, apparently Crashdown is in the premiere of the (A?N?)BC show, "Inconcievable." Premiering...soon.
