Why the hell did it take so long for me to notice Brimstone? Aside from the obvious answers that I wasn't watching TV when it first aired, it's only on now at 3 am, and the first ep I tried to watch had practically no sign of that handsome devil in it.

At any rate, I'm well and truly hooked now. John Glover made those painters' whites look gayer than all the costumes of the Village People, Elton John and Liberace combined. Not that the suit look doesn't work for him, but oh, the scarf knotted round his neck. The other one hanging out of his back pocket like an advertisement. Guh. There I was thinking I was never going to see anything in the show worth my bother, and in one scant hour I'm hooked and being pestered by a half-formed story idea. Yes, of course for a slash story, don't be silly.

Perhaps someone longer-acquainted with the Brimstone-love could tell me just which unfallen angel the JG in white was meant to be? It's for a good cause.

The character didn't recur.

Carte blanche for us to call him whatever we want, then? Well, I'd been thinking Raphael as I watched (bad pun on painter, I know, sue me); maybe I'll do a bit of research on angel lore, see if there was one in charge of returning strayed sheep to the fold.

The fic wants to be written. It just needs more time to percolate through my head... and seeing the ep again wouldn't hurt. Any idea how to tell when it'll air again, or who might be able to supply a tape copy?

I am always more than happy to supply Brimstone tapes to anyone who might need them, complete pimp o'the show that I am.

Unfortunately most episodes only feature a few minutes of the wonderful JG, but Ezekiel just grows on you, more and more every time you see him (at least that's what happened to me, I still see new things there every time I watch and I've been obsessed for a few years now.)

Anyway, do hope to see some more new folks writing in the fandom. Man, we've needed it for ages!

Wow. Has it really been two weeks? Caught the pilot this weekend, and taped it, but since the ep that caught my eye seems to be at the end of the season, and I'm an impatient Jack, I may just take sidewinder up on that tape offer.

And as fate would have it, I will be in Philadelphia later this month, so if you like I can save you the postage cost, and take you out to Morimoto, and we can talk about pretty boy slash and frighten the other patrons.

Spoon! Sounds like a plan to me.

So when are you going to be in town? 'Cause knowing my (bad) luck it'll probably turn out to be during the few days this month I'm travelling...
