Anya ,'Bring On The Night'
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 also may have started picking apart that particular thing because it seemed so desparately forced to put Jack and Allison together.
This, although I have to say this bit was one of the few times I actually enjoyed any of this type of interaction between the two. Would that the cow had been there too (especially if it was at the moment where Jack suddenly got REAL uncomfortable looking).
I thought they both played it well for a scene I hated, and it almost made me wish that a) there'd been chemistry preceding this moment and b) that it wasn't so much the thing you do with two attractive leads.
Power to, it occurs to me, SGA for doing nothing of the sort.
Hmm. Not much talk of Eureka slashing. I wonder why not?
I think Colin reads pretty solidly heterosexual, thus impeding any slashing.
I think we'd have to slash Fargo and a robot.

Here, or in general? Because I'm thinking of Night Sins and Opposite of Sex at the very least.
I could see Henry being slashed, but not with anyone on the show yet, at least not as they've been depicted so far.
If I had my druthers, though, he and Jo would end up a couple.
No, Henry belongs with his true love, the one whose memories were stolen.
I ship the ship DX ships.
Besides, Jo and Henry together is too much competence in too many areas. If they did not take over the world, their kids surely would.
I still think that she's superfluous. not saying that the actress is bad or even that their scenes are bad. Just doesn't seem necessary.
Zoe seems way less superfluous than the obligatory and bald-faced attempts at forcing a romance between Jack and Allison. Zoe, as a way to establish Jack as a regular guy with regular guy issues, may also be used on occasion as a form of peril which guarantees Jack, as a lawman, will get angry and effective rather than paralyzed with fear in response to.
ETA:

Yes, but the world would be a smarter, prettier place, and by extension, happier. Although it had not previously occurred to me, I now yearn for this ship, and the world it would make.
Who does seem necessary? Not a facetious question--just trying to work out what the criteria are. If she's amusing/interesting/well written/well acted, I'm mostly good.
good point. I don't find her character to have any value to the story(ies). I feel that the character is the kind of random crap tossed out at a story meeting (a sherrif! in a freaky town! with lots of smart people! and he should have a daughter! and she should be a delinquent!). The character just seems contrived to create random side controversy. There is always a need for peripheral characters (Vincent (who I hope gets a storyline of his own soon), Fargo, etc., but the "troubled child whom the protagonist must help while not forsaking his/her duty" just seems so superfluous.
