Dudes, this Fandom Secrets post is particularly awesome.

I particularly liked these five:

1.
Possibly this doesn't belong in a "secrets" comm. I mean, I'm pretty sure we all thought it.


2.
Dear god! I never noticed the similarities!


3.
This one is here for the grate lulz. Newsflash: John Barrowman does not want to impregnate you, 16 year old fangirl.


4.
Aw! Sad secret is sad! And secretly I want that body sweater. It looks cozy.


5.
Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? (Hey, what's this about her changing handles?)

How could you tell that was John/Aeryn and not Cam/Vala? (Never watched Farscape.)

I actually had to stop and think about this, because it was so obvious I forgot they were the same actors. Other than being played by the same actors, Cam/John and Vala/Aeryn look nothing alike. Seriously. There are more obvious clues (Leather pants! Peacekeepers symbol over John's shoulder), but really they are nothing alike. They don't have the same hair, the same clothes, they don't move and stand and gesture the same, or interact the same on the two shows.

(If you ever decide to watch Farscape and wonder why people love it so much when it so clearly sucks, it's only the first 18 or so episodes, I promise. And then the rest is so awesome you actually enjoy that first 18, after all.)

I shall ponder getting into Farscape. I mean, both Claudia Black and Ben Browder are hella pretty.

Also, the secret itself: Cam/Vala are not a canon couple as John/Aeryn are, so that helped, too, probably.

Oh! That makes more sense.
