Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'
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.
I feel obliged to point this out because there is a faction that seems to think he was once a pacifist.
He wasn't a pacifist, but he was an idea man more than any of the rest. Gritty reality still isn't his strong suit, but the fuzzy edges have worn off.
Oh, sure. He was more of the talking guy than the shooting guy. Still is, unless we're talking about, say, Anubis or any of his friends and relations. Goa'ulds in general, say.
Are there any eps in Stargate Atlantis that are particularly slashy for Sheppard/Mckay?
"Hide and Seek" in the first season was probably the start of the subtext, although I think it's strongest in "Sanctuary" even if it's roundabout and one-sided there. I've yet to hear a convincing argument for why McKay took such a strong interest in Sheppard's flirtation with Chaya and correspondingly strong dislike for her that doesn't involve jealousy.

I sort of wonder if it's spillover from Sentinel fandom, with Pacifist!Blair. Even though Blair once actually knocked a vending machine over on someone.

Hide and Seek, The Defiant One, The Siege (1-3), Trinity. Off the top of my head. And I've forgotten the name of the one with the collars, but that's totally worth a viewing on its own...merits.
Edit: And of course, Sanctuary. Hee.

It doesn't have to be specifically sexual jealousy, though. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's plenty slashy.
What, he's gonna play Prime-Not-Prime with her?
Sorry. I do accept that you can read that relationship elsewise. It just makes me laugh to try to.
Why oh why is TS not available on DVD?
Speaking of DVD, is SGA S1 out? I figure I'm doomed, doomed to be Years Behind in Fandoms what with the no cable thing, but I might as well get familiar with characters that the good writers are writing.
I came around somewhat on Sikozu by the end, but I always had more sympathy for Jool, who wasn't quite so self-aware about how arrogant she was. Jool was just clueless, you know?
Exactly!

Just the Season 1 premiere "Rising," I think.
Seriously? That's weird.
