Hee! It's hilarious how large and small fandom can be, but it's awesome that conversations taht were, let's be honest, as crack-fueled as the canonical storylines was inspiring to someone.
The thing that constantly gets to me is how equal they are -- and how that shifts and morphs over the course of the show, changing who they are to each other while never lessening. It's so, so intense.
It is. Especially when the show spent pretty much the whole of S1 setting Michael apart from everyone. He was the brilliant lynchpin of the group, the one who seemed more trapped inside his own head than imprisoned by physical bars. And then, boom, S2 and he has an equal who's continually shown to not just be "as smart as" but who *thinks* like Michael, who follows the logic easily.
And, please, even when they're surrounded by the rest of the cast, there's an electricity between them and their reactions to each other. It's wonderful.
