korilianRight. Robin Hood... Gah! I can't take it! And I'm not even talking about the weird camera angles! Or the barely concealed double message about the war on terror that's supposed to appeal to the grown ups!
I'm talking about the man love! The not even a little concealed slashiness of this show!
My brain just literally keeps melting every time Munch is nearly in tears, because his master no longer loves him like he loved him in the holy lands (they were so doing it! And Munch dear; He's not giving it to you anymore because the total absolution clause is only valid while fighting in the crusade. Also this part of the journey is doomed to be PG...)
My mom actually gave me a disapproving glare because she thought I was freaking out over the gayness, in a "Did I raise my daughter as a bigot" way. (obviously she doesn't know how much gay porn I read ;).
I figure my problem with the show is this: Fandom is a subtle place... No wait, I'm not saying that wrong. Fandom is a digital paradise where we may indulge in sex pollen, angst and orgies... Canon is subtle! It's always the fans that decide that the team mates/ coppers/ best friends are either pining for each other or having big gay sex in the back of their cars (unless it's SGA where there are no cars, or the Sentinel, where there is no backseat, but a loft).
Munch being rammed down our throats with his, "I've been a pushy bottom for the past five years act." Is just sucking all the fandom glee right out of me! I'm gonna take a stand and say, ambiguity yay!
