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.
Does anybody else think Farscape (as of early S3) is incredibly heteronormative?
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.
Well, in the context of a heteronormative culture, Farscape doesn't stray altogether far during its first 3 seasons. (I mean, there are vibes and suggestions, but never anything more than that.) Then you get to season 4, and
then
you learn the meaning of heteronormative.
I'd settle for Crais/Crichton.
Puuuurrrrrrrrrrrr. That would be pretty. Could Crichton be in the Peacekeeper uniform from A Bug's Life? Well, in the beginning, anyway . . .
Eh, not necessarily. I agree that Crichton/D'Argo slash, which might be one of the most natural pairings, is often difficult to pull off because Aeryn is almost always such a huge presence.
But Crichton/Scorpy has all sorts of delicious messed-up possibilities. And then there's Braca. Chiana/Jool was a reasonably popular femslash pairing.
And yet, Rygel is among the most canonically paired with other characters....
Sexually?
t boggles
I thought he didn't have the interfaces any more...
[whoops, sorry, saw "Rygel" and thought "Pilot". ]
And of course, Peacekeeper Wars even gave us canonical
mpreg.
Whitefonted since Betsy isn't there yet.
whoops, sorry, saw "Rygel" and thought "Pilot".
Heh. Yeah, Pilot is pretty asexual.
You know, my favorite Scorpy/Braca story was posted to the farscapefriday LJ, and I'm damned if I can find it again. Sigh.
Maybe someone in the fanfic thread can link you up, Dana.
When
Grayza was introduced and was using her pheromones to control Braca, I was always waiting for him to run off and pull out a locker door pin-up of Scorpius to reassure himself
.
