I wonder if it's because people aren't watching the show?
Yeah, I think that may be the problem. Or not "people" so much as "fannishly-inclined people," since it has good ratings at least. But it doesn't fall in the scifi/fantasy slot like so many shows that have attracted big fandoms, and besides, it's like CSI- the subtext is there, but it isn't really abundant, like on something like Smallville. I mean, I think Danny and Martin are obvious, but they aren't Lex and Clark or Duncan and Methos or one of those "clubs you over the head" pairings. Not a fandom for the lazy, I suppose.
The Cherry Falls thing- I only skimmed the first part or two, and it didn't really seem like a good fit, crossover-wise. But as soon as I saw that it's a Michael Biehn movie, I got it. I know Tarlan from Mag7, where she writes Chris/Vin, ie Michael Biehn/Eric Close. She's jumped through some very small hoops to cross-pair their other characters before, not always effectively. It seems odd to me to force a cross-pairing where a perfectly good one already exists on a show, but obviously she sees something between MB and EC that I don't (though I've never seen Chris/Vin either, so I guess my tastes and hers just don't mesh). Jay Mohr in drag, though? I may have to rent it after all.
Lord save us all from my urge to add more rare slash fandoms to my repertoire.
Aw, it's just a little one. What can one more hurt? Just one little mint, er, fandom... (I'm just joshing you. Although if you did end up inspired to write something, I'd be thrilled. But not at the expense of "Sweet Cool Water" or any other WIP, or, you know, health/sanity/RL/those silly things.)
I don't remember any D/M stuff in next week's repeat, although we do get some background/characterization on Martin. It's been a while since I saw it, though.
