They DID, and I've finally had enough time to get over the onslaught of avocado from living in 70's styled apartments in days past - I can totally enjoy the era's kitsch again.
I completely agree, Benedict (and Robert, and Johnny) being sexy as all get out can add a certain joie de vivre to a well plotted and character informed story, but without the latter the sexing is just mechanics. I don't begrudge working out their fantasies on the computer monitor to anyone (and whoa, that thought doesn't bear close scrutiny), but sometimes the woobie love becomes intrusive in the fannish realm. My icon is a result of one of my "worst of" experiences, in which I was called, among other things, "a blonde cheerleader type that had everything handed to her on a silver platter." Which made me snorkle, and befuddled my nerdish heart:-)
