So, in this ep, Metamorphosis, they've been stranded on a desert planet with only a 150-year-old space explorer dude for company, having been lured there by a giant ball of electricity.

at this point they've figured out that Giant Electric Ball has been keeping Space Explorer Dude as her lover all these years. SED's all like, huh?

Oh man. DS9? Julian Bashir: the little black dress of Trek slashers.

I am just telling you this right now.

is that the doctor? i LOVE the doctor.

He is the doctor. And his actor and another character's actor (ONE of the two that he's slashed with all the time) were like, "Uh, of course we play them physically attracted to each other" at cons.

dead. i used to watch it when i was like 14. no wonder i liked his character so much.

And I love how when TPTB heard they were saying that, they went, "Uh, let's get Garak a heterosexual love interest stat," and Julian promptly looks around and has another man saying that he likes Julian better than he likes his wife.

Little black dress for serious.

(Oh, also! I just wanted to make sure you got my email I sent yesterday about tEA.)

and i watched City on the Edge of Forever on Friday and, like. I couldn't properly assess the slashiness of it because i was watching it with a friend and could not stop and screencap, but OH MAN, did I ever do an inward slashy

[miggy]

It does say it all. It says that they are the ur-slash from which all other slash descends, and though the form may be primitive it is pure. Oooooohmmm. *dings finger cymbals*
