24 True Blood
“Bad Blood”
Okay. Now this is just unashamed slash bait. In the season three opener Sam – who’s never shown any tendencies for batting on the other side in the past – suddenly has a homoerotic dream about vampire Bill. Thankfully for him, if not for internet fantasists, the phone wakes him up before they get to first base… We assume it’s all the fallout of Sam being saved by Bill’s blood in the second season finale, but maybe he’s simply in denial about enjoying Brokeback Mountain so much.
23 Thunderbirds Are Go
How to pad out a Thunderbirds movie that appears to have less of a plot than the usual hour-long episodes did? Create a dream sequence, of course. Alan, pissed off that his brothers have gone to The Swinging Star night club while he remains on call back on base, has a dream in which Lady Penelope whisks him off in FAB 1 to a nightclub in the stars. There they watch a puppet Cliff Richard Jr perform a jaunty little number with The Shadows (oddly not The Shadows Jnr… but then this is a dream, so who’s to say they couldn’t all have been pickled and preserved?). Way too long a sequence, really, but endearingly daft.
