That's pretty much it, 'Suela.
I'm all about the apparently platonic. Here's where I start projecting hard: a relationship between two people who are incredibly fond of each other, and in another situation that would quite probably spill over into naked sweaty humping. However, it doesn't, and they pretty much have made peace with that. Without
quite
moving on, have made other intimate attachments, and have certainly done nothing improper with each other. It's just that the fondness? Leaks out sometimes--especially in times of stress. They're human. There's also a bit of yearning, but that's moved past with varying amounts of success.
It's not like Sam was reacting to Jack being taken away from her romantically. She was (still projecting here) reacting to his impending death with the intensity of the (what's the word ...) unexplored feelings behind it. If she hadn't been in love with him, even muted, she'd still be upset. And it's not like she's freaking out about losing the chance to date him -- so it's all not quite improper, giving Pete nothing tangible to put his finger on and say "This! This is not how you should be acting!"
I have a similar half-baked thesis about CTHD, also rife with projection.
I'm working my way through the Sports Night dvds, although I'm about to be side tracked by Sherk and a few other movies I've bumped up on my Netflix queue.
At this point I'm really in love with Sports Night and plan to buy it although when I read the posts I start reading them in the Sports Night cadance.
I can't remember the name of the last episode I watched but it was the one where Casey goes on a blind double date with Dana and Gordon.
Sports Night will be one of my first DVD purchases when I get a player.

I have nothing to add, subtract or even introduce. Just loved how this was said.
I just saw the Smallville finale. Good God, but they managed to pack a huge amount in there, didn't they? I can't help but think they're setting themselves up for a fall with the next season's premiere. Also, why could Lana not have been exploded? Maybe whilst on the plane? She could have created a soft pink rain of love that turned all the Smallville mutants into puppies.

Snerk. I caught, like, the last 5 minutes of the Smallville finale, and have absolutely no idea what was happening.
Still, among the many old Superboy tropes I wish they would drag out, I very much want them to hit the one where Lana Lang is turned into a super heroine called "the Insect Queen," complete with turning into sort of a human-sized centaur bumblebee.
I'd watch it.

Me too! Also, the one where he gets turned into a girl.

How would we tell the difference?
Damn, I may have to start watching Andromeda again to get the Hewitt/Wolfe episode.
