fenrisrangerHad a discussion today with my dad about Susan/Talia from Babylon 5. I thought that was entertaining, that I'm more or less discussing femslash with my father.
Because I was watching Divided Loyalties when he came home (because that's my favorite episode) and he sat down and watched the end of it with me. And we were swapping theories on their relationship.
I don't know how we got to it, but at one point he was like "Well, they did have sex." And I was like "Oh, no, no, no. They couldn't. At the beginning of the episode, they were like 'I can't believe it's taken us so long to get to this point,' which I took to mean that they just figured out that they want to have hot lesbian secks (I didn't say the last bit in quite those words). But at that point, Susan doesn't trust her enough to open up like that because she'd end up letting her barriers down and Talia would find out she's a teep. Because remember that line, "Do you know what it's like when two telepaths make love, commander?", where she's talking about how you can't hide anything and all the outside chatter goes away until it's just you? Susan couldn't do that. 'Tell no one.' She told Sheridan, so I could see her maybe telling Talia at some point, but I'd doubt at that point, and experiencing it is something way different than just telling."
So yeah. That made me laugh. Because he was all "but they were in bed together," and I'm like "but no." And since when would you expect me to be the one saying that two women didn't get it on?
