Spike ,'Sleeper'
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.
I still want a convention SWAT team to keep people from asking for hugs and giving the actors explicit photomanipulations or telling them all about the gay incest.
Boundaries are healthy. They keep my brain from exploding. I've never been the same since Ricky Manning made me explain slash to him.

Yeah, but at least Ricky's a fanboy. He gets most of it, and doesn't freak out about the rest.
Hewlett's a fanboy too, but I don't want to have a conversation about fanfic with him. It's safe to say that I would rather be trapped in between Michael Shanks' fans and James Marsters' fans.

I do draw a distinction between actors and producers, though. I have spent a lot of time talking about fandom with Ricky Manning, and other than the issue of admitting to the obsession, I didn't feel nearly as uncomfortable as I would have if I were talking to any of the actual cast. Because it's not Ricky or DK's body I'm manipulating like an action figure, to make my stories work. Nobody's imagining the writers' bodies screwing like bunnies in the back of the Impala, or whatever.
But that's just my position, and YBMV.

Well, they weren't until NOW, thanks very much for that.
I have to admit I've explained slash and real-person fic to more than one actor. But they're people I didn't meet as a fan, so it never occurred to me not to.

....You are an optimist, my fren.

I should think, at this point, that some kind of Scary People 101 class has got to be a prerequisite for acting. Like, here's how to unlist your phone number; here are the names of people to call when you want to debunk tabloid rumors; here is a general idea of what people are doing in your name on the internet; here are some strategies for how to be gracious when a percentage of the internet people show up at your mom's house.

Very true. It could have been more traumatic. Actually, I think the most traumatic thing was when we were all at the bar and someone did the thing with the blow job shot.

Sharks and Jets, baby. SHARKS AND JETS.
I can't tell for sure, but ita may be the meanest best friend ever.
There was one big problem with the whole premise of the episode, which is that if you were just watching someone's else's dream, you'd be seeing it from their perspective, not your own. So instead of seeing Jack's birthmark, you'd just be sharing in his experience. But that doesn't make for as much fun, so I understand why they didn't play it that way.

Heh. Despite the trauma, I'm sorry I missed that--I was upstairs watching vids on your laptop, I think.
