The caffeine has kicked in and my brain is racing.

And not thinking about work of course - that would be madness!

My thought is this; have TV writers started deliberately putting in slashy tension between male characters, is it a side-effect of the popular TV writing style these days, or has it always been there, and it is just that geeks have become aware of/started imaginging everywhere in our post-irony age of meta-content?

I don't think it's necessarily written into the script. Maybe the actors add some sometimes, but mostly I think that people see what they want to see.

I've wondered this myself, on numerous occasions. Written in or not, actor's affectation or not, I'm happy to live in an imaginary slash-y world, with a few of my hottest lust-actors.

I've heard that's the case for Smallville and Supernatural (which I hear is written by two ladies who got their start writing slash fanfic).
