SOS! This week, V and Emily return to a fandom that they know absolutely nothing about -- CBS procedural The Sentinel, one of the '90s big slash fandoms -- and learn about why, exactly, there is zero cultural footprint of this show outside of its impact on slash culture (and boy did it influence slash culture). We get into the vagaries of syndication contracts, weird rules for shows on Syfy and UPN, and the absolute weirdness of a show not even being available to torrent, let alone legally stream. What gives, CBS?! We wanna slash the thing! We want to participate in all of the fanfiction this fandom produced! SOS!
