Jul. 25th, 2003 12:25 amThe Sentinal - I watched it when it came on because of everyone else recommending it. And it is fun,
however,
I do not see the slash factor.
This is undoubtedly down to a fair few things but mainly I fear due to the fact that they sound like me and Mum bickering when they bicker. There's one episode to do with an oil rig, and they have an argument about Sandburg's tidiness or lack thereof. It's copybook me and Mum. Only my curls aren't as tidy. (I would love hair like that)
That being given, would someone explain to me the twinking of Sandburg. Because I don't get it. He isn't in the slightest bit effeminate, and nor is he a puddle of gooey emotions.
~~~~
All that being said, I might not be the best judge of slashy since I'm writing obscure guest of the week Seaquest DSV slash.
Seaquest itself isn't half as bad as people make out. Plus it has Dagwood who is the most adorable character on any programme ever. And even better, he is adorable without being overly sugary.
Most of the characters are not the usual macho men and helpless women of most sci-fi which is quite refreshing. Also there is a captain who would rather talk than fight, this is good.
I also love the end of the second series, because in the tradition of sci-fi there is no happy ending.
~~~~
I have also been watching Farscape (why yes the TV is stuck on the Sci-fi Channel and Eurosport) they're reshowing the first series. I'm falling in love with it all over again.
Zhaan is such an interesting character, and her and D'Argo are lovely together.
Plus 'The Flux' was on, which makes me happy because Staanz makes me think that I'm not the least feminine woman in the Universe. Not that I wouldn't kiss her.
