I mean, the vibe you get is they occasionally hang out because hello, she's kinda sloshed (it seems like that's how Marg played it as Catherine being a bit tipsy.) and she's COMFY in his place.
I just saw that scene! And you are SO RIGHT! It is friendship perfection, and omg, I love her indulgent and proud little smiles as he's on the phone, and it's just... SO WELL DONE YAY. She is so totally different from him, and I love love love all the little scenes where he's drawn to that alienness about her. (How she is not opposed to living humans, for one.) And the bit about how she's comfy in his place!!! Wasn't there a scene in another episode where he's all "I'm not USED to having PEOPLE in my HOUSE" at her, and she's all "Yes, whatever." I love the idea that she's allowed to lounge around his sanctum sanctorum and no one else is. :)
She's such a yenta with him it's adorable.
It's almost like... sisterly priviledges. The way he'd kill anyone else, but he can't kill her because she's Catherine, for better or worse. ;)
I was originally thinking 'lantis as CSIs...
Hrm. I'm having a really hard time picturing how the two bunches of people would interact. Ford and Nicky would have to forge a mutual defense pact to get people to stop making fun of them.
As far as CSIs in spaaaaace? I'm still hooked on this alien abduction notion. :) Actually, I've been jonesing for more X-file-y mayhem in CSI-world, mostly because the opening scenes of CSI and the opening scenes of X-Files are often so similar, and that one episode where Sara's all rooting for spontaneous human combustion and Warrick is rightfully mocking her. (I'd yell Sara/Mulder OTP! at this moment except... they would totally forget to have sex ever.) At any rate.
just keep 'em set in Season 1 and they'll sound like season 1.
But see, so much about the characters' backstory hasn't come to light yet. Like, I was writing friendshipish fic in which Sara and Nicky get hammered (as they would), and then I'm coming across fics online which all seem to indicate Sara is AA, and now I'm all "er?" because that's something I wouldn't know yet. See my dilemma? And also, I really hope Sara's not an alcoholic, because I'm digging on this notion of her just being weird and workaholic and socially withdrawn all on her own without having Dramatic Television Reasons For Making Her Be So, y'know? I'll just nurse that fantasy while it lasts.
