What's the LKH timeline? Vampires have had the erotic going on for a long time, but I'm curious about the gelded romantic angst turning point. I haven't read any of her.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They do get into that with Angel. He can't make love to Buffy, and does protest later that he's not a eunuch.

I realized it only maps when you posit a Vampire Society
Yep, which leads me to blaming a lot of the current trend of vampire fiction on White Wolf Games and Vampire: The Masquerade. Which, at least in my experience with both tabletop games and LARPs, had a LOT of plots that hinged on some vampire pining over/brooding about a mortal. Until one of the rest of us got bored and killed or vamped the mortal a terrible accident happened to the human sweetie.

Der. I've watched a couple episodes of Angel. He kept his legs crossed for a hundred years.
Julian (that was the lead on Kindred, right?) was still fully integrated into vampire culture when he fell for a human. For broadcast purposes I'm assuming he'd renounced killing, but I don't remember the details.
The Master made it seem like there were at least vampire families that hung together, and that was season 1. He never seemed to run out of minions. The Anointed One inherited his pack, and I'n not sure if Spike took that over or made his own. But not very lonerlike, even if not as familial as some of the other works.

Okay, that thing Peter Burke just did on White Collar was hot. I like that they write the FBI brainy, not just the gifted consultant.
Speaking of which, Monk's penultimate episode is tonight. Weird.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, I wouldn't have even known if I hadn't read in EW that the final episode was next week. Just caught it.

How do you have White Collar now, ita?

She may have discovered, as I just did, that USAHD gets the East Coast feed.

A lot of the cable HD channels, on Time Warner at least, don't have West Coast feeds. So I get USA, TNT, SyFy and the like when you do.
