John Crichton said "...Buffy the Vampire Slayer..."

How much did I love that? So much. So. Very. Much.

Heee

Which episode is that?

Look at the Princess, I forget which part. Where he says that if he goes through with the wedding, by the time he wakes up, everyone he knows -- his father, his sisters, Buffy the Vampire Slayer -- will be dead.

There's another Buffy reference in season 4, as well.

Hmm, nobody really fits for Papa Kent, though. Maybe JM (heh!)?

I am a JM/Spike fan, but the thought of this made me laugh and laugh and laugh, cause I think he'd be perfect. And, you know, close to the right age.

I've been watching A LOT of DS9 for the past couple of weeks and look Ma! I'm not even tired of it! Man, this is a *great* show.

Just today, I watched the episode where Kira gets transformed into a Cardassian then the two-parter where Sisko and Odo go to Earth and uncover a plan for a coup by Sisko's old commander. Lots and lots of shades of gray in these episodes. Short of the early season The West Wing, I've never seen any show that dealt with political conflicts of its universe in such a consistently engaging and intriguing manner. Color me impressed.

On a shallower note, Bashir has suddenly grown into his boyish good looks and reached, "oooh, check out the smokin' hottie" stage. I'm watching the beginning of the ep where he pulls a phaser on Garak (err... "In Purgatory's Shadow", says my TiVo--somewhere in S5, which is making me massively confused time-line wise, since I'm only up to early season 3 in the regular weekday episode run; like dude! Odo was a solid? Since when? and so forth.) and... humina, humina. Dark-eyed, calm-voiced man with yummy accents, pulling a weapon on his boyfriend err, lunch partner... what's not to love?

Also, I fear I've become a bit of an Odo/Kira shipper. I am so ashamed. ::hangs head::

Vonnie, I still have an ep on tape somewhere. I think it's called "Heart of Stone", and it's very shippy. I'm shameless.

Also, Garak/Bashir. Mmm-hmm.

Dude, the writers sure pushed the whole unrequited love thing on Odo's part, didn't they? Another ep I watched today was the one in which Jadzia falls in love with this guy on a planet that shifts through dimensions like some Brigadoon in space (yeah, much with the wtf-ness there), and it opened with the scene that had Kira declare that Odo was her lover (!) to shake of some creep. After she left, Odo looked at his hand, which she had clutched in her masquerade, with this sad little face of longing. Poor Odo.

(If I didn't dislike the word so much, I'd totally have said Odo was rapidly becoming my woobie.)

I think it's called "Heart of Stone", and it's very shippy. I'm shameless.

Oooh. From later seasons, I presume? I know there is an episode where Odo confesses his feelings to a Kira-imposter or some such thing. Uhm... yeah. I've been reading O/K fic. Sadly, they are mostly spectacularly mediocre.

Also, Garak/Bashir.

They are great together, aren't they? There also seem to be a good deal of Bashir/O'Brien, which frankly makes me scratch my head, because Miles O'Brien--not exactly pinging my slash-o-meter. Plus, he's kind of...married, and seemingly devoted to his wife, at least so far.

I recently ran across a fic called Cardassia Sutra, which, despite its rather hokey title, is pretty darn well-written for a PWP. Good character voices and some interesting sex there.

Kira and Odo got together romantically in the final season .

Okay, here's a Stargate question that has me baffled. What did they do with Daniel's stuff when he was dead? What about his apartment?

And why on earth did they decorate the place like an exhibit room in the Met? Why did he have a piano? And when would he have had time to get all this stuff after coming back from Abydos?

Did the set decorators just have no frelling clue what kind of life many archaeologists lead? Especially someone like Daniel, with no set position? He had to have been living grant to grant, subletting apartments, moving frequently, and not buying pianos!
