I could have written a longer treatise on my reflexsions, but on 
reflection I couldn't be bothered. ;)

I don't think I'd use offend as much as I'd use annoyed as way to label 
it - if we must - but too much hetro action annoys me as well. Sure if 
Chuck and Sarah got around to the big kiss I would like that, it has 
would have a certain soul resonance, but if they do it every single week 
that would annoy the hell out me as well.  I guess i don't see it as 
content but gratuitous lack of it and instead of. Of course I believe in 
the "agenda" as well - even though many here don't believe or see it - 
but Davies clearly injects this over and over in all things he produces 
- that annoys me as well.

I suppose if Captain Renoylds started heavy petting with Jayne I would 
find that offensive!

(Clearly Jayne was meant for Wash ;-)
