he doesn't think there's authorial intent, and that "they're gay like hobbits are gay."

Not even directorial intent? Because, dude.

Matt Bomer was tossing around the L-word to Tim before DeKay even auditioned, if memory of the interview Jesse linked to serves.

Perhaps it's just a different estimation of the depth of friendship, but crying, really? Pleading? They have to know the subtext is rapidly subsuming the text.

there were tears. that's some intent right there. I mean, maybe they were trying to show the magnitude of the choice that Neal was making, but they didn't have to go with tears.

No, but I did get a hint of Bodyguard. I'm a little ashamed of it, though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Hey, I didn't say I agreed with him! I don't even watch the show (though I am definitely going to start) and I can tell they're in lurve.

I'm skeptical about there not being authorial intent. I think SGA is about as far as you can push slash without the writers being in on it.

Speaking of which, there's someone named Ronon on my conference call.

Gay like hobbits. Heh.

I'm right there with Perkins on the OT3. I never would have thought I'd be loving a Tiffani Theissen character! But I am!

I know. She and Brian Austin Green have really...surprised me.

I'm reading the Guardian UK blog covering Mad Man's S3 as it plays there and they just got to the episode where Pete has sex with the au pair (and Don and Betty are in Rome).

And it's funny how Pete's behavior is seen in a different culture, because over here everybody seemed to see it as very clearly rape, over there it's reading as "not quite consensual."

Whereas in Pete's era it was merely a breach of neighborly etiquette.

I don't think it's possible these days for producers not to be aware of homoerotic readings of the text.
