The Male Pregnancy Series Is Only A Matter Of Time.
Is anyone else watching Boy Meets Girl? It is an ITV four-part comedy drama, airing at nine o'clock on Fridays; two parts have been shown so far. I cannot believe I've seen nothing about it on my flist, because the basic premise is that a man and a woman are hit by lightning and swap bodies. They swap bodies, you guys. The actress is very convincing as a man, and someone is clearly having enormous amounts of fun with the romance. Male/male kisses in which one of the men is mentally a woman! A male/female sex scene in which the woman is mentally a man, and it is weird and a bit uncomfortable and also really hot! (It's not an explicit sex scene; the 'really hot' comes largely from the bizarre circumstances.) THIS IS US. THIS IS WHAT WE WRITE. IT IS THERE ON THE SCREEN. I CANNOT BELIEVE NOBODY IS WATCHING IT.
I should probably mention that I did wake up last night in horrible pain, convinced that I was actually a man and that the agony was due to my new female body reacting badly to the bodyswap (I wish I were joking), so I can't promise that watching Boy Meets Girl will not have unwelcome effects. (I suspect Boy Meets Girl may have been responsible only for the sleep-addled gender confusion, rather than the pain itself, but can I be sure?)
Here are some characters that should swap bodies:
- Gene Hunt and Alex Drake. It would be excellent. Alex would be forced to tell Gene off constantly for fondling his new breasts.
- Merlin and Arthur. SUDDENLY ARTHUR HAS MAGICAL POWERS AND NO IDEA OF HOW TO CONTROL THEM. Merlin, for his part, finds himself completely unable to play the role of the dutiful son and terrified that Arthur is going to get himself executed.
- Katara and Toph could be an interesting bodyswap. Toph would have working eyes, but she wouldn't have Earthbending, and she'd know which she prefers. "You can't even see what's behind you! How do you people cope?"
- Ooh! George and Mitchell! Suddenly, George can hear heartbeats and Mitchell undergoes a hideously painful transformation at the full moon. That could be really interesting, actually. Each would have to help the other deal with his condition.
- I like to think that Balthier and Fran steal a magical artefact that causes them to swap bodies every other week. Fran hates being without her sharp Viera senses. Balthier finds it all rather amusing.
I watched the third episode of Being Human today, and I still love George/Annie/Mitchell so much. So much! Their polyamorous supernatural love is so true. Also, I would like to give Annie many hugs.
