What's the point of a revolution without general copulation?

Good luck!!

Which I watched. It was pure fanbait - probably the epitome in "let's attract slash fans but no homo" sort of thing. Leaving that aside, I thought it was okay; it didn't thrill, in part, I think, because the banter was too hostile to ping my buddy kink. But it was pleasant enough that I'll stick with it and see how it develops.

Mostly, though, I was struck by the Starsky & Hutch vibe. Not solely because it featured buddies (and made me desperately want to re-edit The Real Slim Shady again), but because the entire structure felt a lot like episodes like Bust Amboy - the detective work mostly consists of traveling from witness to witness, each witness is sort of quirky and interesting, and the guys adopt a faux-casual, constant-joking sort of attitude at each stop.

But there was that scene -
( Barely any spoiler but just in case )

If you are a fan of Danny and Steve on Hawaii 5-0, and you are not familiar with Starsky & Hutch, please, for me, embrace your fannish slash heritage and at least watch the pilot. It's a moral imperative.




(If you can't access Hulu, I'm sure you can find it on YouTube or in other fannish locations.)

Because Steve and Danno are so much like Starsky and Hutch, it's like I have no resistance. I was reading the fic and just hearing Starsky in all of Danno's dialogue and it was driving me crazy.

Unfortunately, I'm finding the show has not gotten any less problematic. And at some point I will subject you all to an extended rant.

In the meantime, though, because I gather there's been some question? - I have now at least one documented instance of Danno calling Steve "babe." I think. Episode 10 - "they have cleaning crews for that, babe." I played it twice; that's what I heard.

not to remaster The Real Slim Shady with Hawaii 5-0, Merlin, Star Trek: Reboot, Rizzoli & Isles, Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, and BBC Sherlock.

This little online article about TV's best "BFFs" illustrates each television show with an embedded clip. And whoever wrote the article was fairly indifferent between actual clips from the series, and fanvids - so the article includes mamoru22's Boston Legal vid A Little Less Conversation, and ancastar's S&H vid You're A Friend of Mine.

What I also find amusing is that some of the ordinary clips used appear to be just, you know, random things people uploaded to YT, and not official promos.

Oftentimes when I vid Starsky & Hutch, I'll get all excited because there's some awesome physical stunt that's so perfect for the vid, and then when I actually go to clip it, I pause and I'm like - who is that guy? Because the guy performing the stunt is so painfully not either David Soul or PMG. And now the clip is just unusable.

To my great sorrow, I just had that same experience in Supernatural, trying to vid Sam's great leap into the pool in Playthings. I'll never be able to look at that clip again.

Sigh.

Get thee to thandie's massive post of flail and picspam. Such pretty, pretty, 70s-era picspam of boys who love each other. And embedded videos with clips and bloopers and parodies.

I think maybe I need to break out the DVDs again....

Man on Man: The New Gay Romance. On gay romance novels, with slash mentions - including references to S&H, Star Trek, and - wait for it - Mythbusters.

This is probably going to be quite anticlimactic, since my desires for sequels are pretty universally rooted in a desire to see my OTPs happy and together, dammit, but, here's a (partial) list of (Nominally) Complete Fics For Which I Most Want to See a Sequel

Beware of spoilers for anything listed.
