Weird love's better than no love.

Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'


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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, they think a) Zane is worth some consideration and b) given consideration it is plausible to be shaken and c) Jo can be thusly shaken.

We're failing to buy (a) so everything else collapses. I'm willing to give them (a) for the sake of argument, actually believe (b). Not going to get me on (c)...but maybe that's the Jo they meant to have written the whole time (barf) and are correcting their course.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Yeah. If I'm repeating myself, apologies, but getting to see Jo fleshed out with all her wonderful layers and feminine touches underneath her aggressive/butch front (but I don't believe it is, I think that's a part of her as well) is not a natural lead-in for the reveal of... of... this.

It just screams in my head that being strong and yet feminine is, rather than a wonderful and well-rounded thing to be, a chink in an armor that is hiding how weak and lacking in self-esteem she is. I don't like the correlation. This is not the woman who kissed Raynes and then decked him (and I really wish that ep had been as much about Jo and her relationship with him as it was Stark's relationship with Callister, they made that such a throwaway B plot, when even on first viewing I had all these questions in the back of my head: why did they click? What did Jo find attractive in Callister? What did he find attractive in her? Was his being so new to the world and without preconceived notions able to accept Jo and all her facets without judgment, and did that in turn attract Jo?)

There are so few unfucked up (and therefore not-really-) strong fighting women that I never thought for a moment she'd be one. I'm just glad they haven't shown her burning a roast yet.

Oh! He's on Hotel Babylon now! I thought he looked familiar, his accent is different, that threw me.
