HA! Ok, just checking.
For the record, I wouldn't be able to explain it to you, no sirreebob.

Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) 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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
bone-deep principles that was drilled into me from my earliest days in fandom
Right. Aside from the brave new world of fan and fan-object failing to have any distance from one another, around which I wrap my brain but slowly*, there's the whole MY PRIVATES. LET ME SHOW YOU THEM issue**.
(* For me, when that distance collapses, it's not that the fannishness becomes too intense; it disappears. It stops being OMG hot actor, e.g., and becomes Hey, I used to know that dude. Wonder if he still picks his nose? A key component to fannish attraction, to me, is the secure knowledge that I will never meet that person. It's much harder to objectify somebody you first met in the seventh grade.)
(Unless you're ita, and have gigantic photo archives devoted to just that purpose.)
(**A link between friends is a fine joke. It's the people who presume mutual intimacy where there is none who inspire me to violent aversion. Aside from all the "hello, you go on the stalker list" issues and "fans are weirdoes" issues, it's undignified. Which is a true crime.)

This morning for breakfast I'm having coffee and bwah!
CFerg is a brave, brave man, is all I'm saying.
Also, all shows need to hire us as gender consultants. I keep thinking about the previous discussion about male and female nudity (and ita's point about submissive female sexuality) and getting all het up.

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'm waiting for CFerg to come back in with his eyes bleeding.

I'd apologize for the attitude, but the man has to know about ita's links already.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Dana's spasm is mine -- if I could physically throw myself on a link, I would have. Even though I know CFerg is sophisticated and mature and knowledgeable about fandom and stuff like that, I want to keep the worlds of fanfic fantasy and actual actor person whom I respect, separate!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does this mean if you find RPF or RPS you won't share with me?

there's the whole MY PRIVATES. LET ME SHOW YOU THEM issue
Oh, god, so much yes.
I'll just sit here and let Nutty speak for me, if that's okay. She's got way better words than I do.
