Barb's post cleared something up for me. If you want something explicit in the story, then probably it's not going to happen. It'd make sense to be negative if that's what you want. I've always read the show for it's subtext. What's been distressing this season is that I couldn't quite sort out how it works. Now I found a way that works and it makes me happy. It fits my long standing basic view of the 'verse.

Would it be nice to see text? Sure. But it's been the big subtext of Bangel subversion and what not that made me a fan in the first place, so that's what I need.

Anyway I hope my present positivity doesn't rain on your negativity. I think we're after different things. Or at least have different priorities about the things we both want.
