the trip to Rainbow Flag World where there are no heterosexual characters tends to throw me right out of the story.
No shit. What is with that? Unless, of course, you're in my extended family.

You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

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

TNT is going to have a 20 hour marathon of SPN episodes leading into the season premiere.
I sure hope my Tivo's here and working by then.

Even one of my favorite SGA authors is now guilty of it, making a shared continuity among a bunch of her stories in which every relationship between canon characters is same-sex (though I guess she gets points for including the ladies in the fun rather than dismissing them into blinvisibility). Now, I wouldn't bat an eye at Torchwood fanfic where this was the case, but aside from that I find the exploration du jour of a slashy epiphany works best against the backdrop of all the other characters retaining their canon orientation.

I do have family members who are the only straight cis people in their immediate family, and other family units where the queer strongly outnumbers the straight, but there are times when truth is stranger than fiction and you should just leave it be.

Space promo - as usual more spoilery than the CW promo.

God, you people are evil, evil pushers.
How much more spoilery is it than the CW one?

More casting, more details - different details than that long one.
