Meow!

I need help from you guys! I know there are lots of uber-slashfens around who also know the old shows (George?). I've just watched a music vid that had SO many scenes and I don't know a bunch of them! But I wanna know! There seem to be some extremely slashy moments in those old shows! For one, I had NO idea Starsky and Hutch were THAT gay. I must admit, I mostly know about them from reading "Textual Stalkers" by Henry Jenkins. I've seen very few episodes. I thought most of this was wishful thinking, but DAMN! Is that eh... one of them (whoever is Starsky and whoever is Hutch) bending down the other one in a dramatic kiss?? What the hell is going on? O.o So, if you guys are willing, please dl this video here:

http://www.mindspring.com/~diwillia/hot.htm

It's called "Respect". And this is a list of things that need clarification:

00:22: Who's that other guy with Methos? I've never watched Highlander... *blush*
00:45: Meow?!? John Glover in bed with another men? Do my eyes deceive me?? What's this?
01:16: O.o; Mew? Starsky and Hutch almost kissing??
01:32: Guy pushing someone else off the bed. No clue who this is!
01:39: Is that Starsky & Hutch too? The other guy looks so strange...
01:41: And who are those two? and the two following who're kicking in the door.
02:07: That's the Starsky & Hutch almost-kiss I meant O.o
02:29: Who's the guy highfiving Krycek? It probably isn't Krycek but Nicholas Lea in a different role...
02:34: Old dudes?
02:41: What's going on here?? Duncan against Methos? What?
02:59: No clue who that is.

So, any help appreciated! ^_^

i will ask [livejournal.com profile] olinima. i think we were watching this very video last weekend actually!

she knows all about slash. or you could ask the person who made the video?

[identity profile] silversolitaire.livejournal.com 2003-07-14 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I could ask her, but I'd rather find out myself! LOL

ok, i will get Manda on the case. she likes a challenge.

George me? LOL Because what, I like TOS and Quantum Leap? LOL
I'll check out the video but I don't even know why STarsky and Hutch are, or what they're from, so I'm dubious that'll be able to help. :x

Oh wow, that was a fun video!

I recognised several shows but not all of them were old, per se. Here's what I recognised:

Smallville (obviously!)
Star Wars (original series)
Star Wars (new series)
Harry Potter 1&2
Quantum Leap
Star Trek the Original Series
Stargate SG-1 (tv series)
Xena
X-Files
Bulletproof Monk (I think)
Velvet Goldmine

If you want specifics of what series is what scene I can try to do a run down for you.

I want to see whatever show that John Glover was in, he was lovely!!!

That was a lovely and highly slashtastic video. I don't know some of those really 60's looking shows. I want to say Maverick or Get Smart or something but I don't think it's either.

[identity profile] silversolitaire.livejournal.com 2003-07-14 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
LOL okay! Thanks anyway. I recognized all of them myself. Except for Bulletproof Monk (XD!!!!! You know what I wrote first? Mulletproof Bonk! Jesus!). Which scene was that? o.o I also found Man from U.N.C.L.E. Maverick wasn't there o.o. At least I didn't see it. There was an itsy-bitsy scene from In & Out, namely the kiss at the side of the road.

Oh well, thanks for the help! I'm gonna continue in my efforts to find out what his it! ^_^; Loved the Quantum Leap bits! *g* Yes, it really is slashtastic!

[identity profile] georgeh.livejournal.com 2003-07-18 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
In retrospect I don't think it's Bulletproof Monk but perhaps Shanghai Nights? I'm really unclear, but it has Owen Wilson and that Chinese man . . . ?

I don't know U.N.C.L.E., I'm afraid.

I love the QL bits too. Makes me want to rewatch the series.
Or write drabbles for the [livejournal.com profile] quantumleap100 community. :)

w00t! Nice icon! ^_~ God, that part with Kirk "Looking good..." cracked me up! XD

You don't know Starsky & Hutch? o.o I mean, I don't know them well but I know they were one of the first slash couples really, among Kirk / Spock and Man from U.N.C.L.E. They're going to remake it with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson and they already said it's going to have homoerotic tendencies, so we're not the only ones to see this! XD

[identity profile] georgeh.livejournal.com 2003-07-18 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, don't know Starsky & Hutch -- are they from Highlander? I've never seen an episode of that! Hehehe.

I don't know U.N.C.L.E. either -- never even heard of that one.
Guess I'm loyal to just the Kirk/Spock. :D

oooohh...slash quiz....

[identity profile] olinima.livejournal.com 2003-07-15 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, I love a good slash challenge!!
Unfortunately being at work at the moment I can't watch the video but here's what I remember....

1. It's Duncan Macleod - He and Methos are the usual Highlander slash pairing...
2. Errr...can't remember John Glover off hand...sorry...
3. Can't remember which bit this was either but Starsky and Hutch were always hugging and almost kissing...that's why we like them!
4. This must be Duncan and Hugh Fitzcairn from Highlander...Duncan is the one pushing...Fitz is the one falling off...
5. Not sure on that without seeing the video...what do they look like?
6. Can't tell you who the two are beforehand without watching the vid again but the two kicking in the door are Bodie and Doyle from the Professionals...another excellent buddy cop slash ridden show...
7. That's taken from an episode of S&H where Starsky goes undercover as a dance instructor. The scene is at the end of the episode where Hutch makes a comment about Starsky's undercover character and Starsky then 'dips' Hutch to prove that he's still got the touch!!
8. Yep, that's Nicholas Lea in a show called 'Once a Thief' playing a character called Victor Mansfield (Vic). The other guy is Mac Ramsey, played by Ivan Sergei.
9. I don't really watch it but I'm pretty certain that they're from the West Wing...one is Martin Sheen as the president...
10. That must be Duncan and Methos' first episode together...Methos offers Duncan his head because he would rather that Duncan had it than the immortal who was hunting him. Duncan refuses so Methos tries to push him into a fight.
11. Sadly, I can't tell without watching the video again or getting a description but I'll post again tonight to let you know

Oooooh, that was fun...any more slash questions out there? :)

[identity profile] olinima.livejournal.com 2003-07-15 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
okay...slight adjustment of answers now....

1. I think you are probably talking about Kronos - he's the guy who gets up in Methos' face...
2. This isn't a slash pairing I've ever read but I'm fairly certain that it's from a show called Brimstone. John Glover played the Devil!

5. My video times are slightly different to yours but I think that in fact both of these questions refer to Bodie and Doyle - they're the guys who kick the door in but they're also on screen for about 5 secs previous to that as well

11. I think...again my times are different...but if you mean the guy being pushed in a sled that's from Due South in its later seasons with Callum Keith Rennie as Ray Kowalski being pushed by Benton Fraser, played by Paul Gross. If you mean the guy hugging someone that's Richard Dean Anderson playing Jack O'Neill in Stargate SG-1 hugging Michael Shanks who plays Daniel Jackson.

*hugs!*

Thank you! I think you cleared up everything! ^____^ Now I can sleep again! LOL Brimstone, hm? *scratches chin* Interesting... And the other guy's Kronos? Okay! I was about to say "That's not Methos! o.o" So, all is fine! *g* Bodie and Doyle. Are those The Professionals I keep hearing about? Oh, and yes I meant the guy being pushed on the sledge. I didn't know who the other guy was. I've only watched the first seasons of Due South and then kinda stopped so I only heard of Ray K but never actually saw him.

Anyway, thank you so much! ^_^

from 1.38 until 1.44 is pure The Professionals, wonderful slashy late 70s-early 80s British show. Not quite "cop" as someone else said it, and not as obvious as Starsky&Hutch, but absolutely wonderful, with plenty of great fic available..

wish I'd posted my reply earlier, but I only managed to update real player today.

thanks for posting the link. I only ran across The Professionals quite recently (and by accident), so any songivids are more than welcome,

[identity profile] silversolitaire.livejournal.com 2003-07-16 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
You're more than welcome! ^_^ And thanks for clarifying that! I don't even know who that is! LOL! I'll have to check them out!

[identity profile] fosfomifira.livejournal.com 2003-07-17 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Just remember that the one with the old-fashioned long curly hair is Doyle, and the one with the old-fashioned long sideburns is Bodie.

if you have trouble finding any Professionals fic, let me know, I'd be more than happy to help. :)
