Touch him and you're dead.

[castalie]

I came back from the uni in time to see that today's TS episode was Second Chance- which means that we got to hear one of the best lines in TS - nd maybe one of the best lines ever [/drama queen] - from Jim himself:

Jim: *talking to someone who's threatening to hurt Blair* Touch him and you're dead.

*blink*

"Touch him and you're dead" - I'm not making that up, it's canon, it's protective!CanonJim. Isn't it just a beautiful line? Someone is threatening his man, and he's going all alpha *glassy eyes*

It's just too good to be true *purrs*

Oh, on another unrelated note. A new show is airing atm, The Guardian. I watched some episodes, and even though I know I'm not going to obsess over it, I like it well enough, and today's episode, "The Men from the Boys", was particular good.

I love how shows aren't afraid to deal with what used to be complete taboo: here we had a young boy living in the street after he fled from different foster homes where he got raped on a regular basis, and whoring himself to survive. His only hope is to be fostered by a gay couple, but of course, prejudice being so strong, no judge (even a gay one btw) wants to accept it. In the end, it's only because Nick decides to fuck the law that Ethan can live decently and can hope for a happy future with the - very loving - couple.

Ethan's mom was particular disgusting. Her husband kicked their son out of the house when he learnt he was gay, and she never tried to have him back. Oh well, yes, she said Ethan still had a home if he forgot his bad habit. And when she finally decided to interfere in his life, it was to ask that Ethan would NOT be fostered by the gay couple because she didn't want him to live with *that* kind of people. The worse is that she claimed to love her son - and to be a good Christian as well. Really sad person.

Speaking of Nick. He seems like an interesting bloke, but he just looks so sad all the time.

Anyway, I will have to see where the other episodes lead me *g*

Love that line. Love. Love. Love. I've been trying to work that scene into a video, but, it's just... it has so much more PUNCH when you actually hear the line, that I always feel a little let down when I'm editing, because you CAN'T...

/drama-queen too.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Actually, I second what you said- the scene is really that much more powerful when we get to *hear* Jim say it. And how wonderful it is when he does *sigh*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That line is perfect, and people think Jim and Blair aren't together!

What are they, blind and deaf?!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I don't know what they are- but something I know is that I really feel sad for them *pets all those blind people*

SC was the first episode that aired when I started taping and I remember I was eating a popsicle and when Jim said that I pulled the popsicle out of my mouth and went, "Duh."

[castalie.livejournal.com]

That was your first episode? You did start well *g*

Really liked the popsicle story lol

OMGtheirloveissopure!!!!111!!!!!

Argh. Sorry. My brain sort of shut down for a moment to allow for 100% fangirling. :D

I so need to find somewhere to download this series. <3 <3 It probably won't air again in Finland for another million years.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Don't you dare apologize! I second what you said.

Theirloveissopure and even more important, theirloveissocanon! Wait, I'm even going to add somme !!11!! lol

I wish I could help you with the downloading thing, but I just don't know where you cound find some. I mean, I don't really know people who d/led *this* series.

o.0 Makes me wish I'd paid more attention to The Sentinel when it was airing here.

Anyway, I see your line and I raise you Duncan McLeod pushing Methos away and saying: "We're through." Guh! Highlander wasn't as slashy as TS but the slash was strong in it as well.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Everyone should pay more attention to TS, really. I can see why the show would be easily dismissed, but uh- that's just a huge mistake lol

And yeah, HL wasn't as slashy as TS- but then, what other show could really rival TS, but it *was* slashy as well, indeed. And that scene you mentioned (from one of my favorite episodes btw) definitely was powerful that way. Heartbreaking *nods*

[mimine.livejournal.com]

Kronos/Methos! Kronos/Methos! I have never been much of a D/M person but the Horsemen rule me!

I liked TS. I actually watched it, back in the years before I knew what slash is, sadly. I liked it a lot but it was airing very late so only saw a few episodes.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

See, I'm an equal opportunity HL slasher. I'm all for D/M in present time (or present and future) time because I just *know* that in the past, it was K/M all the way *nods* Of course, I love those fics where D/M and K/M collide- and I just love AUs or missing scenes related to 'Comes a Horseman' or 'Revelation 6:8' *eg*

Speaking of K/M (or D/M if you sometimes read that pairing) Would you have some recs, by any chance? It's been ages since I read HL- and it seems like Seventh Dimension is dead. Do you have other big archives where I could find me some pretty fics *g* I also know the HLCQ archive... I'd like some archives that are *updated* and that don't seem dead. Can you help?

And uh- well, I don't need to tell you that I like TS, right? lol I got into it when the show aired the first time all those years ago- but I became really the big fan I am thanks to the fandom, actually *g* Sometimes, it feels like I love the fandom even more than the show itself- and it's saying something *g* SG on the contrary- well, I'm just an SG junkie *all* the way *nods*

[mimine.livejournal.com]

Recs? I'm the worst reccer in the Universe. I have goldfish memory... I do know that I adore olympia_m's fics but they're pretty old and I figure out you must have read them all. Anyway, her site is here.

There are many shows I love mainly for the fandom so I know what you mean :-). Though in others I just see their slashy merit without ever really getting into the fandom (see no point in reading QAF slash for example or Oz slash at least no Oz slash yet)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I know some of her fics indeed, but I'm pretty sure I missed some of them, so thanks for the link *g*

Since you're the worst reccer in the universe, I'm counting on you for more *g* Think of me *g*

I see what you mean for QaF- never really felt the craving to look for fics, but then, slash is usually here to fill a lack in m/m hotnestt, and uh- it's sorta the whole purpose of QaF, right? lol But then, I have to admit I got into the Oz fandom, so I'm contradicting myself a bit. Let's say I'm a contradictory person, and everyone will be all right lol

[mimine.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I will get into Oz slash eventually as well. Most hot action is implied in it and I do need some fic to fill the blanks. I just need better knowledge of the canon first.

*You* got that line, while *we* got Crossroads. I am not feeling warm and fuzzy toward Jim right now, especially not with the look on Blair's face and Jim's final line: "I finally shook them."

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I think we're much happier with our TS schedule atm- but what can I say, we'll have Crossroads soon enough, right? *sigh*
