Vonnie, Fiona gets a lot of time in 308. And yeah, I didn't recognize Andy Serkis at all, and blinked in amazement when the name scrolled by in the credits. Even then it took me a moment to realize who it was. Despite those eyes.
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You must all stop talking about Spooks until I get caught up.

I went and checked out Nos's LJ and read her S/J ship manifesto, which is deeply funny. Thanks for pointing me toward it!
He's watching a trainwreck and he just can't look away. But for him it's an oddly erotic trainwreck, because it suggests he could get sex at some point.
Jack then helpfully manages to almost die, which leads Sam to conclude that this would be the ideal time to jump his bones, preferrably with drawn-out emotional confessions beforehand. Jack is having none of this, realising in a rare moment of emotional functionality that death is really not the time for twu luv.
Heee!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You should catch up, Dana.

Oh, the manifesto is brilliant! I agree, I concur, I wish I could be that funny about it.

Nos is deeply insane, but also very very very funny and insightful.
I still think the S/J ship is wacked, but I'll read good stories about it, the same way I'll read good J/D stories. I have nothing vested in either ship, actually. Which I find rather entertaining. I don't think the writers intended the slash ship to be as supportable as the het ship, but the het ship was done so badly it rather is...

I agree with the POV that the het ship has to be a trainwreck, and am grateful for it. I'd have previously put Mulder and Scully (were they ever Sculder? Mully?) in that category, but I realise that would have been sloppy.
S/J is wrong in the SG1 universe, and in meta. And because of the unsentimental tone of the show, we don't even have to think about it most of the time.

Quick techy question for I am too lazy to go to the Tech thread:
How many simultaneous torrents download can you reasonably have going at the same time? On the advice of several people, I downloaded the azureus client, which works like a beauty (except for those times when I have trouble finding the downloaded avi files on the hard drive without opening the client.) I have two files downloading (and two uploading) on a T1 line at work--I know, I know), but when I added the third one for download, it queued instead of starting. Does having more than one torrent up for downloading compromise the speed by much?

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
were they ever Sculder? Mully?
Thankfully, no. Not that I ever saw, anyway.
