Ok I really was serious when I said I was going to bed...but I just have to comment on the "big three" thing and how cute were the three of them in the preview for next week about Harry doing a lingerie spread? "We are all for naked" or something like that?? I was amused.
I seriously love the three of them more than anything. Functional threesomes are sort of my thing, and even reading the pilot script, the three of them just SCREAM functional threesome.
I love love love your prediction for the Jordan storyline. It is completely her. Are you spoiled for this show at all? Because I heard a rumour about who the father of her kid would be, but I don't know if the person who said it was serious or not.
Also, I would love you somuch if you wrote Big Three!fic. Because I love them so, so much.
I'm not really spoiled, I just read the summaries for the episodes through sweeps? And at first I thought that I kind of figured out who the father was through that, but after this week's episode, I think that maybe I was wrong.
I really want to write it. I've been writing it in my head all night.
"Harry, if you had just told him the truth," Simon says, gently untucking his arm from under Tom to touch her wrist, "if you had just explained it to him, you could have ended the argument instantly."
"I can't just blurt this out to him, Simon," Harriet says. Her tone is soft, as if she's explaining something to a child, but somehow it doesn't seem as patronizing as it should. Probably because Simon knows she's right. "He'd kill you and Tom."
"It's not like that," Simon says, even though he knows it's futile. It's not really like anything, and he knows that it would be impossible for anyone but the three of them to really understand

I have this thing for threesomes? But fuctional threesomes. Where the sex is basically an afterthought. And that's what I imagine this as. The three of them are this little web, this little pocket of support and help and shared joy and pain and sometimes, sometimes when Tom's girlfriend doesn't understand and leaves him, and sometimes when Harry broke up with Matt and needed comfort, sex came into it. But mostly? It's just this entity, where they need each other and do things together and work as a team.
But they know that, especially in Hollywood, things like that don't work. And if anyone found out, they'd be... completely destroyed. Even if the sex wasn't important. Even if the sex came last. So they sort of... hide it away.
(I seriously am addicted to three-way fuctional relationships. Sam/Will&Elsie, House/Stacy/Wilson, and even some of my own characters. It's insane.)
However, I thought the gay marriage debate between Harry and Matt was just over the top. It was a long, drawn out, awkward subplot that existed 1) so Sorkin could rant about the subject (As Steven said, "Wow, he still feels bad about having Bartlet sign the Defense of Marriage Act in season two, doesn't he?")Have to admit, I kinda loved it. Yes, Sorkin was kinda hammering on the subject the way only Sorkin can, but Harriet is just so darn HUMAN and she's adorable punching the wall, and she's 75% of the parents in my church, she's my relatives, my high school friends, my mom and dad, she's even me, all of us who -- from time to time -- wish this crazy cultural tilt-a-whirl would just STOP and let us breathe for a minute

Well, it was kind of less what Harriet and Matt were saying and more the fact that it was so damn drawn out that bothered me. I like that she has those opinions, because I think it's very realistic, and I love that he's taking the time to paint her as confused as opposed to ignorant, but I felt like a solid 40% of this episode was Matt and Harriet saying the same things over and over and over again, just so that, at the end, Matt could nullify his entire angry tirade by saying, "I want to save you from gay street thugs." All the other subplots this week were so interesting to me that I was starting to get irate with Sorkin flashing back to the same "Matt and Harriet disagree on many social issues but are clearly in love still" theme he's had going since the beginning.
But, I will admit, I've got a pretty big crush on Sarah Paulson, too, and Harriet punching the wall basically made me giggle in sympathetic glee for the rest of the night whenever she was on screen XD
