CANNON!!!! This is so cannon and you can't make me think otherwise.

Gorgeous writing, I adore it. It's one of your best.

Oh! I'm blushing. Thank you! This challenge is going to be the end of me. Each week, I struggle to find an idea. And this time, it happened when I woke up Saturday morning. So I'm glad it made such an impression on you! I've just edited it, added some things, rephrased some other.

Just hope you still like it ;) I guess now I can go an promote it at bs_fic.

And I can't help but read and think of the song "Sunday Kind of Love."

Just lovely!

Thank you so very much! I don't know the song, I need to check it out.

I do love those two. Why, oh, why are we stuck with boring Ryan, when there was wealth of stories to be told about Saul/Henry? Such a missed opportunity... On the other hand, it gives us something to write about... Anything can happen between those two.

Absolutely. And now Ryan's a regular! If only TPTB could treat him the way they treated Julia. We saw this coming when they decided to get rid of Tommy.

I wonder how Baitz would have handled Saul's coming out at his age. That would have made for a great storyline. They just cannot think about new ideas even when they're in front of their eyes. *sigh*

Given that Glover and Baitz are buddies, we might have been more likely to have Henry as a regular (or at least recurring). Which would've been nice!

I can only imagine how annoyed Ron must be about this storyline being shafted.

Oh, boys. This is just so sweet and tentative and perfect.

semisweetsoul July 27 2009, 16:31:05 UTC

Coming from you, this means a lot to me ;) Thank you!

This was fantastic! I find this couple of characters to be fascinating. (I've almost come around to the idea of them being ignored on the actual show, because the fans treat them with much better care than the show does!)

semisweetsoul July 28 2009, 15:35:18 UTC

I didn't like the way they treated Saul's coming out. I believe that Baitz would have done it better, but then again it was so disappointing, anything would have been better! I like the idea that he can start a romantic life at 65.

We'll see what happens next season.

Thanks for your thoughts. :)

I loved the story in season 2 as he slowly came out to Nora, Kevin, the family, etc. Which made it so much worse in season 3 when all that wonderful build-up was ignored. I am very disappointed that we didn't get to actually see Ron Rifkin continue the path Saul was on, because he could have done some amazing, possibly award-winning stuff. I don't necessarily love everything Baitz did, but he at least understood the importance and necessity of interesting older adult characters and the search for identity at all stages of life.

I'd say that it was better done in season 2 than 3. I just didn't like the comical way it happened with Sarah, Tommy, Kitty and Justin. I wished we had seen them react, more than just Tommy saying "You're gay?", and Justin "this is the gayest week of my life". They've known their uncle straight for all their lives, you'd think they'd show some shock at least, we know they don't care since they're all gay-friendly but still, something was missing. Then, the same people don't blink an eye when one of them dates a girl formerly believed as a sister ( ... )
