Ackles, but only because The NPH is so tragically nonheterosexual and I want him to be happy.

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

Thank you.

I live to share.

I'd like to think it would have seen the timely removal of Logan to an outsider-supporter position

Why? Because you don't like him, or because he's just not one of them? I haven't seen much of it other than the last six or so eps, and it strikes me as important for them to integrate, not segregate as much as TC seemed to demand.

I'm particularly curious about where they were going with her Messianic status, and the characters coming up on her skin--Logan intimated that maybe there were extra gifts coming down the pike, and she did seem to have a moment of extraordinary hearing beyond that of the other X5s in the finale (which featured Helo, I noticed in the credits--spelled Tahmon Pehnikett) when she could tell that the elite squad was coming in to get them.

I'll keep volunteering there and giving him head skritches.

Ah, well. He still gets some loving.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Dana, I'm sorry.

Perkins, I want to see the BINAO for me, and I would nom on NPH, were he actually interested in me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

There's another puppy out there who's perfect for you, Dana, and the perfect family for this guy. Keeping him company at the shelter till they show up is a good thing.

I like Max better when she's not all moony over Logan. Fix their problem or remove him from her vicinity so she can get on to other things.

I thought the caligraphy-stigmata-whatever did hold information about both the cult (did they ever have a name?) and Manticore, and was looking forward to learning more. It's accepted that her exposure to the cult, the snakebite, the brand, were responsible for the reveal of the marks, do I remember correctly? Or perhaps it was a coded time-release.

There were various directions to go from the S2 finale. I don't think integration was a real possibility at that time, since most of the TGs that were emerging were not human-appearing, and the X-whatevers, rather than disappearing into the human population, chose to stand with their more specialized brethren and sistren. I think at that point they wanted to set up a sanctuary and an honestly safe place for TGs, to begin learning how to be a community, and keeping their rights safe, before trying to treat with or integrate with the human population. Just my observation.

And looking back, I think I may be mixing in some Jeremiah, what with some similarities between the shows.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have literally gotten rid of half my stuff. Perhaps more. My cat is seeing my place for the first time since the cleaning and purging. She's inspecting everything like she's seeing it for the first time.

Also, will have to call the people who did the work and ask if they've seen my iPod Touch.

That's about where I came on board, and no, I don't remember the marks being tied to that exposure. More time-release, as you also suggest.

As for integration, I don't mean folding the transgenics into the human population, but folding some humans into TC. They have Original Cindy and Sketch as well as Logan, if memory serves. And Normal radically softened his hard-line bigoted stance. I think that the disease transmission thingummy was a clumsy plot device to keep our young couple estranged, and agree it should disappear. But, and I don't think it's just my Weatherly-likingness speaking here, I don't think Logan had a place on the outside anymore.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I want to see the BINAO for me,

Another tough one.

Let's start with an easy one, again for Amy:

BINOA: Jeffrey Dean Morgan or Joshua Jackson.

And one more for ita: Shemar Moore or Goran Visnjic

And for Juliana: Jeffery Dean Morgan or Paul Gross


Amy - Apr 29, 2009 4:16:13 pm PDT #17336 of 30000
Because books.

Oh, JDM. I love Jackson, but that's no contest.

JDM. Paul, as much as I adore him, is a little too theater-earnest-geeky for me. Plus, happily married to a woman who could probably kill me without breaking a sweat.

Okay, that seriously strangles me.
