Alan's description of losing his virginity really, really reminds me of this Murakami story called "The Last Lawn of the Afternoon"...which I can't find anywhere online.

*SIGH*

May have to go buy a copy of The Elephant Vanishes tomorrow.

Seriously, though, the similarities (as far as I can recall) are crazy. Except in the Murakami story I think the phone kept ringing while they were trying to have sex. And the music was Three Dog Night's "Momma Told Me Not to Come."

Lorraine? Personality? You're being generous. I mean, I missed the last two episodes or so, but I can't even bring myself to care about her. Except for that she looked a helluva lot like Tara and that was my guess as to why Alan went all green leafy vegetables on us. Bah!

I was a little skeeved by Carl's "Essentially, let me order you around and stuff, maybe," comment, but I liked the character he played in House, and I liked his BL character in the season premiere, so I keep liking him. Irrational! I'll think harder about his character when I'm not lazy.

If the word salad becomes some kind of device for Special Emotional Alan Time, I might have to puke. But, yeah, let's hope he doesn't do the LifeLongLessons crap with clients.

Hahaha, when Alan was giving Denny his little speech about how hard it is to be gay, I was imagining Alan thinking about all the queer people in TM. I always expect Spader!Alan to start spouting off about the latest prompt or whatever and then I remember that TM IS NOT REAL.

In other news, I still can't care about House. And please tell me you poked your head around in the SGA fandom at least once.

She doesn't have any lines! Not beyond a little flirting, anyway. Last night was better, but last week I resorted to things like "Well, that was a cute look she gave Alan." HOW CAN I WRITE HER IF SHE HAS NO PERSONALITY. (Or should I just make one up?)

Um, yes. Also skeeved! Hahahaha, he was much more likable last week when he gave his "think of the chickens" closing and it was underscored by touching piano music. Who'd he play on House?

They managed to go a whole season without relying on it, so I have hope. I think he should start pretending to have word salad when he doesn't want to deal with someone.

He did it once! I think the topic was "What one thing would you change about the world?" and during the balcony scene, Denny turned to him and asked that very question. Well, I think he asked what he'd change about America. But still.

I love how you call him "Spader!Alan."

SGA fandom scares me, man. What's more, I suspect I'd dislike the source material intensely.

Have you signed up for Yuletide yet?
