I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Willow ,'First Date'


Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape  

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Bah! Another auction. Read the back of the card.

Hee! Poor gibberish-producing art department.

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

Capoeira! They're doing capoeira in "Allegiance."

Up with the sun

I know none of you watch Charmed (or admit to it, anyhow), but I'm gonna ramble about it anyhow:

It seems really obvious to me that Chris is Wyatt's little brother. He's part-witch, part-whitelighter, AND Holly Marie Combs is pregnant IRL. Granted, Piper and Leo are supposedly divorced, but there are so many ways the show could write in some more nookie for them. I guess Chris could theoretically be a cousin, but making him a brother is easier all around than writing in a pregnancy for either Phoebe or Paige, especially since Phoebe would need to hook up with a whitelighter. (I would take it on faith that Paige's child could have both witch and whitelighter powers, because she does, but Mommy!Paige? Does. Not. Compute.

The only questions to me is a)if we're supposed to have figured this out, or if the writers assume the audience has the collective intelligence of a box of gravel (not impossible) and b)when the Charmed ones will figure this out, given that they also occasionally display the intelligence of gravel.

(I also wonder how many lame nursery-rhyme spells the show can come up with, but that's me.)

I have a plan.

I just wonder how many times the Charmed ones can have their inhibitions suppressed, and why it always means sex for them.

If I only had a brain...

Well, if they had their inhibitions suppressed and suddenly they all started painting the bathroom, sweeps week wouldn't be nearly as much fun.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Without sex, Alyssa Milano would be sitting at home watching taped Who's the Boss episodes and wondering what ever happened to her career.

It's a remora, dimwit.

The theory I've been hearing is that Chris is a grown-up Wyatt, and he's gone back into time for some reason.

Well -- they talked to each other yesterday.

Maybe they could lose inhibitions and be really mean and trip old ladies in the street and throw things at dogs.

Because EVERY spell on the show means sex. They get posessed? Sex. There's a dragon? Sex. Phoebe becomes an empath? Etsexera, etsexera, etsexera.

That's been my theory all along (and I think the TWoP recapper's), but last night we saw grown-up Wyatt and Chris in the same time and place. I guess Chris could still be AU Wyatt, but given the implied history between them and the fact the actors look almost nothing alike, I'm sticking to the brothers (or possibly cousins, tho it would be harder to write) theory.
