Lurching from one disaster to the next.

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.

If I only had a brain...

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

homoaffectionality is the term.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Homoaffectionate?

x-post, of course

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.

Just listened to Doug Petrie's commentary for "The Initiative". Another good one from him.

I forgot to ask before but has anyone else spotted Andy Hallet's cameo in "Hush"?

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

OK Just seen "Sleeper" (brilliant) and the one after (SPOILERS: Not so brilliant; slayerettes suck a bit, the speech was awful. But Nosferatu had some cool wire-fu. Oh and THAT'S NOT GILES! )
