OK. I haven't been following Supernatural since S1, so I guess I was wrong.
re: slash and women, that was sort of my point. Just off the top of my head, I would say that engaging with the female relationships of the major male characters of NCIS would be useful precisely for "subtextual evidence of the characters' bisexuality." (in Tony's case, were I a slash-writer, I would jump right past bisexuality and posit that his aggressive-but-frequently-unsuccessful-due-to-incredible-aggressiveness attempts at womanizing are excellent evidence for being a a certain kind of closet case -- combine this with a older, wiser, and long-term bisexual Gibbs who wishes to nurture him into a healthy relationship with McG.... LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE ME TYPING WHAT AM I DOING).
aaaanyway. I really like NCIS, and really like the characters, and though I don't see what you see unless I put the special queer-theory tint on my litcrit glasses and go to town, I'm happy someone else likes it.
