A really lovely BSG ficlet, in response to common people challenge. I adore Rheanna.
ETA: Oops. Heh. Link fixed, as Dana saw through my nefarious plan, damnit.

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.

I second the rec, but note that Vonnie included the wrong link. Unless it's all part of her stealth plan to make everyone watch Veronica Mars.
Edit: And Vonnie has editing skills like lightning!

If I only had a brain...
Does anybody else think Farscape (as of early S3) is incredibly heteronormative? There's not even the whisper of vibrations between same-sex couples; Chiana never makes a pass at Aeryn, just John and D'Argo. Even putting on my heavy-duty slash-colored goggles, I can't see enough tension between D'Argo and John to make it worthwhile. And we've never (early S3) seen any supporting characters who are anything other than heterosexual or aliensexual.
What up?

Huh. When I started watching, I very nearly asked shrift if everyone on the show was sleeping with each other. So...no.

I think everybody would draw the line at Rygel, and probably Pilot.

Well, there's that visual of Chiana-in-D'Argo's body coming on to Rygel-in-John's body in OOTM. Hilarious, wrong and kind of sexy, I thought. Well, as sexy as anything involving Ryg, and I'm talking as someone who loves the slug.
The slashiest pairings in FS involves Scorpius, including Scorpy/Braca, which is practically canon, and of course, Scropius/Crichton. If Scorpy weren't so bloody ugly, the slashers would've been all over that pairing like white on rice.

I'd settle for Crais/Crichton.

And yet, Rygel is among the most canonically paired with other characters....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I kind of felt that way. That the slash wasn't so much on the surface. But Chianna is canonically bisexual. And there are some vibes between John and Scorpy. I think the main thing is that it's just rare for a show to have such a strong and compelling het relationship at its core. That some of the impulse for slash is finding the more complex intimacies. And the show already had that in its canonical relationships.
But Dana's Experience Contradicts That.
