I am deeply embarrassed. The same day I wrote I can't see Jack/Will in Pirates of the Carribean, the reviewer of the SZ (= German equivalent of the New York Times) writes in his review he can see Jack/Will. (He called their first duel "erotic" and "tender", I kid you not.) Moreover, as various helpful people have pointed out to me, one doesn't even have to see Jack/Will to see slash, as there is always Jack/Norrington, Jack/Bootstrap Bill, and Jack/Barbossa. What can I say? Well, that I still can't see Jack/Will but can be persuaded to any of these three, plus Jack/Elizabeth/Will does have some appeal. I actually found this Jack vignette a delightful read.

Meanwhile in space, the final frontier: good news all around. As anonymous_sybil wrote in her lj, Joss got the green light for the Firefly movie and will be making his big screen debut as a director with it. (And here I thought it would be a TV movie!) Go, team ME!

Also, wishing does help. A few days ago, I wrote, not for the first time, about my longings for a Centauri-centric B5 archive. hobsonphile then went ahead and created one, for which I was delighted to contribute my own humble efforts. Today, I read in her lj that more contributions by other people have arrived. Read the first ones here.

Moreover, after chuckling in delight at Soul Mates and sobbing my heart out at The Fall of Centauri Prime (both of which I rewatched for the Timov story), I decided to visit my other favourite space station, Deep Space Nine.

( The DVDs for the fourth season recently got out, but let me say something about the third first, since that's what I rewatched. )
