I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I discovered HL fic before I saw the earlier episodes. So when I finally saw the first couple of seasons I was surprised how much I didn't hate Richie. He seemed like a fairly standard character who knows nothing about the Big Plotline and whose introduction to the BP serves as the viewer's. I didn't want to jump him, but I found him tolerable.
Methos, on the other hand, was and is utterly jumpable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Of all the immortals, Methos wins hands down. Xavier St Cloud had his villainous appeal, and Fitzcairn had his charm.
There were times when Duncan was hot, but familiarity might have bred too much contempt.

Yeah, I could have seen a fling with him, but the brooding would have driven me nuts over time.

I'd fuck Richie -- why not? It's just the once -- he's not that annoying. Methos is keeperKEEPERkeeper. Duncan is disposable.

I'm definitly with ita on this.

Duncan is disposable.
I dunno. He's a good lay in canon, and I don't think we have that kind of data on Richie.

It's just one time. It doesn't have to blow my mind. After all, I do get to marry Methos!

I Married Methos
Sounds like a "wacky" sitcom.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Of course, if you marry Methos you have 38 ex-wives to contend with. Though most, if not all, of them are dead so it's probably not as big of an issue.
