I finally saw the Michael Shanks slash thing--that was so cute! Though I was watching through my fingers and groaning, "What *idiot* asked this question?"

I can't get the clip to play on my Mac. Would someone mind summarizing Shanks' response?

Would someone mind summarizing Shanks' response?

He starts by trying to summarise D/J shippers, Judge acts startled that they're not really together, also copies the actions of some guy in the front row that's miming a blowjob.

Shanks notes that everyone's really awake now they're talking slash, and then does an effiminate D/J exchange "Jack! Jack! You can't do that! It's a very special culture!" "Oh, you always say that!"

Or something like.

"What *idiot* asked this question?"

When did it become uncool to have shame? And why was I not informed?

I am bored and studiously avoiding many other things I could and should be doing, so ... here's a transcription for AnneW. More or less accurate. Did I mention ... so avoiding productivity?

Question: Um, what do you think about, um, Daniel and Jack slash? (Audience groans, laughs, claps, murmurs …)

MS: For those of you not in the know, umm, there’s a subculture, uh … or maybe there’s a lot of you that are in the know, I’m not sure … uh, there’s a subculture of, uh, what seems to be our fans that are devoted to, um, seeing, uh, the subliminal nature of the, uh, Jack and Daniel relationship.

CJ: Whatchoo talkin’ about (a la Arnold on DF)? [To the audience]: I wish you could see what I’m seeing. Young man in the front row going like this (mimes blow job).

MS: Now you guys came to life, huh? You’re all kind of quite, sittin’ back … now we start talking about some homosexual resationships, and you’re all [jumps out of chair excitedly]

CJ: Wait, before we proceed … you mean Jack and Daniel aren’t together?

BREAK

MS: (mumble) start to actually put on the voices, and say: [As Daniel … campy, plaintive whine] “Jaa-a-aack! Jack you can’t do that. It’s a very special culture!” [As Jack … campy, but less so]: “Oh Daniel. It’s always the same thing with you.”

Interestingly, I get the sense from the last sentence that Michael Shanks can do a dead-on impression of RDA doing Jack when he so chooses.

I adore it when actors poke light-hearted fun at their characters and shows. Bonus points when slash is involved, but one can still get full credit without.

ITA, ita. (Oh come on, who doesn't want to be able to write that at some point? It's fun!)

Thanks for the transcript, Jen!

BWAH!

OK, I looked away from the screen - what did the kid see when he touched Adam?

First one of these I've seen in a while.

Also? You're a superhero. Stop yelling for your mommy, and run him to the hospital. Sheesh.

But, hey. Whatever.

ETA: You're welcome, Anne. Funny, funny boys.

You know what's cute? The way Jack seems to be leaning back all the time.

Incidentally, it was actually the Tok'ra who took Klorel out of Skaara. So we had seen them do so successfully before they removed Kianna's goa'uld in Fallout, and then Osiris.
