eta: I still think Aragorn and Legolas were gayer than the hobbits. Which is saying a lot, but rilly.
Gayer than "I'm so very glad to be with you, Sam, at the end of all things?" Gayer than Merry and Pippin? I'm afraid I must respectfully disagree.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"You're late" and the inner-thigh touching and eyefucking in RotK? I thought Aragorn was going to marry Leggy for a moment there. Sam and Frodo are stern (see what I didn't do there?) competition, but they have Pippin and Merry handily beaten.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Bwah! Yeah, the thigh touching...excuse me just a moment. Apparently I have a thing about thigh touching, what with sculptural thighs and all. Okay, I'm back, yes.
Theirloveissopure. There's no way there's no authorial or directorial intent. I have had some good strong working relationships, but I have never cried over the parting of them. Seeing off the SO, watching him get on a train, knowing that all of our life was about to change and I was going to turn around and walk away? Cried like Neal. Worked out okay for me in the end, so I have hopes for Neal and Peter, but seriously, that's not the dissolving of a strong business partnership there, that's romance.
And yes, how shocking is it that I'm loving Tiffani-Amber! Sorry, can't help the name extension. I would not have believed it was her. But she's doing a damn fine job with what turns out to be a nuanced role, so more power to her. She is also very pretty in a surprisingly not entirely hollywooded way for someone who grew up in the industry.
Oh! And I was totally disappointed we didn't get to even hear the music box. Come on, you agonize over it, you finally get it, you don't prop the lid open, even momentarily? I love creepy montages over tinkly music box music and we didn't get the one I'd been expecting all season!

Re: OT3 and authorial/directorial intent, I'm not sure that you can make a promo shot for a show like this picture and not expect people to get ideas.

I love that shot. Slashyness aside, it's a great image.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, evocative. Provocative. Any number of vocatives. It's a great shot, is what I'm saying.

I also heard something about the creator's original pitch for the show, which was "It was a sentence that ended in a proposition."
