Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

There's a big "what does a soul mean?" debate happening in the Buffy thread right now.
I suspect watching Buffy and Angel on the American schedule, having a region-free DVD and using BitTorrent to grab Farscape eps ahead of time should be a big "Evil now!" marker, shouldn't it?
Not if you're generous with the sharing of the Farscape tapes. IJS.
Nice work taunting the DVD-deprived Americans, jimi!
Oh my, how insensitive of me. Call me "Oz" and send in the Mistress of Pain to spank me.
I need some vocabulary. What's the technical term to describe intense same-sex emotional relationships that are not explicitly physical? Doesn't "homoerotic" contain some idea that the people involved are physically intimate, or at least thinking about it?
I'm thinking of the classical Victorian relationships that, as far as we know, stayed subliminal. Housman. Rhodes. That sort of thing. People all of whose emotionally passionate relationships were with the same sex, but who thought of themselves merely as confirmed old bachelors/spinsters.
homoaffectionality is the term.
Homoaffectionate?
x-post, of course
Cool. Thanks.

I've seen arguments that some of those were sexual, and people just didn't talk about it.

Some were, but the term implies an arrangement that isn't.
