and I just now got that. Wow.
It took me a while too. I stared and stared and then it hit me.
How can you not love the spaceships? Honestly.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

This is something I've been thinking about a lot, lately. I've yet to read any of the posts she's linked to. Has anyone else read them, or fabu's post? Thoughts?
I've been following it all closely, because I am Metafandom's bitch. Sadly, this doesn't mean I have thoughts.
I mean, beyond the usual, "Why do people fail to get that there's a difference between saying, 'hey, don't be an ass, even if you disagree with what someone's saying in their LJ,' and 'hey, don't express negative thoughts ever.'"
LJ conversation is kind of a different thing, since there I expect to see more personal "How can you NOT love the spaceships?!" stuff in a personal journal/blog than I would in a general forum where you have to be more diffident. Even if the line between the two is getting increasingly hazy.
The hazy is a large, large, spaceship-sized part of the issue. I mean, for me, and for an increasingly large number of fic reading and writing media fans, LJ is our main fannish space. But it's also, y'know, *our* space. Which can and does lead to all kinds of wacky expectation and boundary issues.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
a common cultural assumption is that those who like something have a less examined, less thought-through reaction than those who don't like it
Huh. I see the opposite more, at least in fandom -- disliking something is often seen as evidence of not understanding it, of being dismissive.

I think it depends on where in fandom you're looking and which source text you're discussing.
I'd have cattier remarks on this (because seriously, there are times when fannish people make my eyes roll out of my head due hypocrisy around this topic), but I'm sick, and lacking in wit tonight.
