Heehee! If you like your definitions rigid, yes. We're talking sex vs. gender, and how much one enjoys subverting the definitions of both. People called Buffy/Spike slashy back in the day. John/Aeryn? Queer, bay-beh. Likewise, on matters of gender, power and radical feminist binaries, Battlestar Galactica is shaping up subversive as hell.
Well, I like to be able to use different words for different things and it gets tiresome to have to start using new words for old concepts every couple of years.
But anyway. If "slash" now only means "sex", which word do you propose we use for what "slash" used to mean?

Oh, come on! Starbuck and Apollo are so slashy, and yes, I mean Katee Sackhoff and Jamie Bamber.
I'd rather have Firefly back, though. ::bawl:: TV without Joss!humour is a sad, sad, dusty landscape.
