So I downloaded Moebius back when it first aired in the UK, and I watched it right away because all the other kids were doing it, and I justified it by telling myself that I'd get a head start in writing down thoughts for an LJ post.

Now, did I write anything down? No, I did not. (Oh, come on, you were expecting differently?)

So while I am going to make SG comments, as this is almost my last chance for the year and I really quite liked the finale, it'll have to wait until I rewatch the episode. Why did I not rewatch it tonight when it was on? Because I was watching ice dancing (and my sweeties, Belbin and Agosto), The Ring, and then chelseafrew finally showed me the pilot of Now and Again, as she's been promising to do for years.

Oh, my.

How is it that this show did not ignite a firestorm of slash fiction within twenty-four hours of its debut? I'm told there's no fanfic to speak of, but I can't quite comprehend how that's possible. The immense prettiness of Eric Close aside, I know enough about what happens in the rest of the series to boggle at the unrealized plot and angst potential. Honestly, Fandom, what happened?

Speaking of Eric Close, I don't suppose anyone out there has any avi or mpg files of Without a Trace season 2 that they'd be willing to put on a disc and send me? Name your price, I'll make it worth your while.

re Now and Again...

I've wondered "where the fandom is" a bunch of times, myself. I do have a bunch of answers though; fans tend to respect an existing marriage (especially when he so clearly loves his wife), black/white pairings tend to have smaller followings, which is kind of a bummer; the show was only on for 1/2 a season, so a lot of people have never seen it...

Still. Slashy as *hell* to my mind.

yup, i wondered too. the chemistry and the sheer potential. i was very sad when the show was cancelled. i hope it eventually comes out on dvd.

looking forward to your sg1 commentary. *g*

Honestly, Fandom, what happened?

For me, it was two-fold, because Michael remained so obviously in love with his wife, and because honestly? While I saw the slashy set-up, I never felt that the tension between Michael and Morris was USTy, myself.

Where were you? Lord knows, deannie and I tried to drum up a fandom. We even ran a panel about it at ConneXions that year, and virtually no one appeared. There are a couple of vids and some now defunct websites, but that's pretty much it for a fandom.

We have all the episodes if you need further crack. *g*
