I think Colin reads pretty solidly heterosexual, thus impeding any slashing.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
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 think we'd have to slash Fargo and a robot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
No, Henry belongs with his true love, the one whose memories were stolen.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
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.

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.

oh yes, I agree. I hate that even more than Zoe.

Not that I disagree, but I just wanna hear you say that aloud, 4 times rapidly.
I like Zoe for the balance.
