everybody wants to change the world

[aria]

Now that I am doing an idle Lex-Luthor-bits-of-Smallville watch, and unsurprisingly shipping Clark/Lex like burning, I have had the same conversation with a handful of friends. It goes something like this:

ME. And I love Lex! Oh my god, I love Lex! But Clark is, uh ...
FRIEND. Boring?
ME. Yeah! And this is becoming a pattern. Like, okay, take Highlander --
FRIEND. You love Methos, but Duncan is boring?
ME. ...Yes. Or Star Tr --
FRIEND. You love Spock and Kirk is boring!
ME. You are a mind-reader!

...although I have had this conversation with three separate friends, so in this case it's probably just that my friends know me. Anyway, it led me to imagine what would happen if I just eliminated the things that are boring, which incidentally leaves me with the mental image of Methos, Spock, and Lex Luthor in a room together. I am a little worried they would clean up nice and then take over the goddamn world.

Of course, then my brain took "What could possibly be more awesome than Methos, Spock, and Lex Luthor in a room together??" as a challenge, and I hereby submit for consideration the notion of Nyota Uhura, Kara Thrace, Zoe Washburne, Susan Ivanova, and Cordelia Naismith going on space adventures together. That is what is more awesome.

And, see, all I know about Krycek is that he was almost played by CKR! BUT YOU WILL NOT SWAY ME.

your TV selection criteria CLEARLY ONLY CONSIST OF "IS THERE A VOLUME OF SLASH ABOUT IT CONSTITUTING THE LITERARY PRODUCTION OF SEVERAL SMALL COUNTRIES"

Well, you are not wrong! But oh my god, don't tell me I should watch anything that makes Highlander look like real quality telly.

STOP JUDGING ME

I AM WEEDING OUT EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT AT LEAST 45% LEX, OKAY

IT'S ALL BAD ROMANCE'S FAULT ANYWAY

[nextian]

NO THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT HIGHLANDER AND NOW YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT SUPPLEMENTAL CANON

[aria]

YES BUT THAT IS AMANDA'S FAULT

I'LL GET BACK TO YOU IF CHLOE SUDDENLY BECOMES 500X MORE INTERESTING

[nextian]

OH MAN ACTUALLY ON THAT NOTE there's a really great Chloe/Lana vid somewhere, hang on. Here it is.

[aria]

...okay Chloe just became 500x more interesting.

Also, wow, I am so much more comfortable with the weird ways they sexualize Lana when it is Chloe doing the looking.

[nextian]

I know right?? This is both one of the many reasons I don't want to watch this show, and the hottest thing I'd seen in ages.

[aria]

sdkld;skdfs I know. It's like "Innocent candy! SEXBOMB! I mean innocent candy! Don't look too hard, Clark, you'll get a RED HOT EYE-BONER." It is ... ugh.

That vid is pretty much the hottest thing in ever, though! Also, homg, vampire episode?? What the hell is that? IT'S LIKE THE SHOW WAS POSSESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF XENA OR BUFFY OR SOMETHING.
