As I would like to refrain from spamming my LJ today, I'm posting all my thoughts together. Whoa.
It 'twould seem there's grumbling coming from those in the Prison Break fandom about the mass amounts of het fic being produced and about the lack of slash. Well. While I'm the last person on earth to begrudge anyone their slash love, I can't see any real pairings yet in this fandom that work for me. Granted, if someone who's been a long-time "Oz" fan is watching this show, of COURSE they're going to want to slash the shit out of these guys, especially when T-Bag's running around threatening vague anal sex 24/7. It's a prison, there's lots of guys, and only one female lead. Makes sense.
But.
For me, the slash is going to be all about the sex, with great exception to Michael/Lincoln, and that's a whole other ball of wax. Maybe, MAYBE someone can make a really good argument for Michael/Sucre, but they'd have to try their darndest to convince that it'd be anything meaningful, because let's face it: Michael likes Sucre, but in the end he's a cog in the wheels. But, on the other hand, I could see a one-sided relationship being justified, with Sucre wanting more from Michael than he's ever going to be willing to givebecause he lurves Sara.
And I can't do incest. I just can't. It's a major squick for me that probably will never go away. I realize there's tons of well-written, poignant Pacecest fics out there written by fabulous writers, but I still can't go there. So Michael/Lincoln will never work for me. Period. But, when you have a show with two brothers as lead characters, the incest is going to come out in fandom. Just the way of the beast.
Maybe I'm just so wrapped up in my shiny OTP that the slash doesn't present itself, and maybe that will change over the course of the season. But for now, Abruzzi/Michael makes me want to shiver and die. And not in a good way.
Haha. I love how fucking psycho this fandom is. Go time yourself and see how long it takes you to find a post at Lost Forum on the Jack/Kate shipper boards that starts with "ZOMG THEY LURVE EACH OTHER 4EVA!!!!111".
I'm not even going to get into how my lack of interest in Kate has almost ruined my interest in either Jate or Skate. But I will say after watching the promos for next week, I don't really think Jack is just watching her because he's horny or anything because really, no one has libidos on this show, get real. :P My interpretation is that he explicitly tells everyone not to touch anything in the hatch (his comment "no one touches anything" backs this up) and then comes to find Kate in the shower. His expression looks slightly pissed off, frankly. And it would totally make sense for Kate to, once again, do whatever the hell she pleases and then look at Jack with innocent Bambi eyes in the end. *sigh*
And have these people forgotten that the writers are bound and determined to get Jack with Ana Lucia? Whatever. I'm seriously getting to the point where I don't even care anymore.
I just want my wounded Sawyer back in Jack's arms. ASAP.
Speaking of wounded Sawyer...

One of the perks of commenting to you (besides you, of course) is that I can see your header.

Amusing fact? Both John Doe guy and Craftgirl guest starred House, just not together.

I live for such fandom collisions.

Exactly. If it doesn't work out I can always pretend that his character from House (who left his wife at the end of the episode) hooks up with her quirky kindergarten teacher from the first episode :p
Even though his First Vampire from Blade III hooking up with her mountain climber character from Vertical Limit is probably much less likely :D
It's really amusing in how many things I've seen them in before, often without realizing it.
