Oh, come on! Granite-jawed!Jim is a freaking staple of the fandom.
Yes, Granite-jawed and Gay-sweatered. The only man on TV with fruitier sweaters is Bill Cosby.
(Okay, clothes are not gay nor are they signs or gayness; the above was totally tongue-in-cheek. In fact, I don't even know any gay men who wear sweaters. All the gay men I know seem to be very warm-blooded. No, wait! That's not what I meant. I meant, actually, the sweaters are so out-of-place that they must have been picked out by a straight man. No, wait! By someone who wanted to try to dim the Bright and Shining Pecs of Burgi.)
I came to Moya on the trail of my brother's murderer...
Hey, yeah!
You know, if you substitute "Peacekeeper" for "Mountie" a lot of the Due South plots still work....
Ooh. The Peacekeeper Musical Ride. I like.
His Dad shows up a lot, too.
I feel the need to point out for those that may have missed it in the early summary that Dad is also dead...
Just like Lana's parents. Maybe there is some sort of connection....
Tssk! A PeacekeeperMountie doesn't let a little thing like death stop him from interfering in the life of his offspring!
Sheesh, for threads that were kinda quiet, we certainly talk a lot. It's like someone booked four fandoms into one room at a Con.
ETA: Not complaining, except for the fact I missed the opening and barely am getting in under 100.
Hi. I'm a fan of due South and Farscape. I watch Smallville when I can, because of the pretty factor, and for my love of the dysfunctional Luthor family.
Mmm... Lex.
Oh, come on! Granite-jawed!Jim is a freaking staple of the fandom.
What's wrong with the manly jaw-clench of manliness (that's not fooling anyone)?
And there were huge RayV vs RayK wars in the fandom, not unlike the Doggett Wars of XF seasons 8-9.
Dude. The Ray wars were, like...
Dude. It fractured the fandom in a way that's probably permanent. Insane flamewars erupted again and again, separate mailing lists were set up and TO THIS DAY you aren't allowed to post about the Wrong Ray. One True Ray (Vecchio) people sometimes refuse to acknowledge Kowalski's existence, and if they do, insist on calling him "Stan". (Which he doesn't go by.) The MRKS site you may see when cruising authors sites actually stands for Militant Ray Kowalski Separatists, okay? Death threats were allegedly sent to Callum Keith Rennie.
Bad behavior on all sides. I caught the tail end of it while hiding in a bunker. Rumor has it that people still avoid the fandom because they're afraid we're all psycho-nut-bitches.
In a startling subject change, new MI-5 tonight! Woot!
The end result of combining the threads is that you'll all end up
Due South
fans. Not necessarily of the slash... one of the virtues of DS is that it's not necessary to see/believe the slash in order to enjoy it -- it is quirky and characterful enough on its own merits.
Okay, tried to post but it was taken away from me!
Did anyone here watch At Home with the Braithwaites last week? It's a new show on BBCA and it's about this woman who wins 38 million pounds in the lottery and hides it from her family.
The philandering husband is played by Peter Davison -- once a Doctor Who and also the Dish of the Day on the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
