Boston Legal - Philip Quast - Ross Ryan

You know how nothing happens for ages and then suddenly fandom pounces?

Anyway, I'm sure I've had the Boston Legal conversation with more than one person, but I can't remember exactly who besides housepiglet. captain_tulip, I think. Anyway, I've finally gotten around to watching an episode (the first episode of Season 2, randomly), and it's not bad at all, although I

I don't think you'll ever be truly satisfied from a slashers point of view with Boston Legal, but Denny and Alan's "bromance" will grow on you. I started watching it because, funnily enough, it was on just after House and I had nothing better to do, and after all the House/Wilson goodness that House dolls out it's hard to drum up the same excitement for slashless Boston Legal. But I don't know ... their balcony scenes ...

It's like slash without the sex. I can't explain it. It just makes me giddy. :D After a couple of Alan's speeches about best friends and the loss of genuine affection in today's world and talks of "sleepovers"... I can honestly say I was both hooked and satisfied.

But also? It did take me a while. (Read: two years). Platonic love does not oft a fangirl make. But it succeeded with me. :D

HOMG SSHHHH YOU ARE RUINING MY SOOPER SEKRIT EVIL PLAN TO SLOWLY INDOCTRINATE DAASGRRL INTO THE HOLY, SACRED, ASS-GRABBING WORLD THAT IS ALAN/DENNY. I CONSIDERED A FLOOD OF DIRTY IMAGES WITH BONUS JEALOUS!JERRY BUT IN THIS CASE I THINK STEALTH IS THE KEY.

PATIENCE, YOUNG PADAWAN. :D:D:D:D

I did get a tiny hint of that in the way they walked together, and the way they sat and talked on the balcony, but one episode obviously isn't enough to get their full relationship - I'm intrigued by the way you describe it! It sounds really sweet. I totally get what you mean by "slash without the sex" though, LOL. If only because I'm not sure I want to imagine it *g*. But awww.
