roxySo, lately I've fallen a little bit in love with Bones. I'm watching the reruns and for some strange reason, as much as Bones annoyed me when I first tried to watch the series, I find myself kind of loving her now. Weird. I'm all Awwwww over her. hmm.
I also love In Plain Sight. I really like Mary--she's bitchy and mouthy, she doesn't always win and sometimes comes off not very likable, and that's what makes me like her. These are my fun to watch shows, like Rescue Me and Fringe and Leverage--shows that give me pleasure but I'm not moved to being fannish about them. Though Leverage comes close because of Kane, and my beloved Aldis.
Speaking of being fannish about a show, (and for me, being fannish means imagining relationships between the male leads)not that many guys make me think, 'oh yeah, a few beers and a snowed in cabin and they'd so be doing it'--there's Clark and Lex, Dean and Sam (what?), Castiel and Dean (i know! but really, i didn't see it, not when everyone was writing it at day one) Xander and Spike, Angel and Spike (canon!) I think with them, it's right there on the screen and I don't have to do much to help it along. Hardison and Elliot...yeah, I can see it. :) Whit and Clark...maybe. I like it, I've written it--it's not too much of a stretch.
I never really got the SGA, or the SG-1, and I'm not getting the STreboot pairings, but that just makes all this interesting. What is it that makes someone see the possibilities there? I know the exact moment I thought that Castiel/Dean was more than possible--I blame Misha for that. When Uriel accused Castiel of liking Dean--like it was borderline bestiality and for a second Cas looked guilty and Dean looked floored. That moment made it possible for me. The affection Cas felt for Dean was evident, to me at least. And that's what I need to see--some strong emotional attachment. And it doesn't hurt that all of these guys I consider to be hot to death. For me, it's always about the shallow! *G*

I adore Rodney/John. There's so many moments. Their *glee* at being geeky together, in *space* together, how John is always 'Rodney', first thing - no body else knows anything, or can fix anything, just Rodney. And! Oh man. There's an ep, later in the series.....fuck, i can't remember the name. But Rodney has some weird brain thing and he's forgetting *everything* but....
When he gets scared? He runs through the halls of Atlantis yelling for *John*. John is the last name on his lips when he's forgotten everyone else. It's just...epic.
And if you want John to do something? Threaten Rodney.
*laaaaa*
*spins you more*
And yes, some pairings just do nothing for me, i not only don't see it, but the actors just....eh. Or! As in the case of some shows, like NCIS? I love them being gen, and ensemble, and *friends*. So much better than lovers.
