But don't actors get shipping questions all the time? I think of BSG. Or even Smallville. People get heterosexual shipping questions ALL THE TIME. If you're a con presenter or on a panel, don't you expect it?

I know that AJ and James Callis got it all the time and they were either graceful or witty about it.

Here is an example in my mind how to answer awkward questions. I love AJ. . :-)

Fans ask odd questions sometimes. But it's important how the actors respond. I personally never forgot AJ's response here. Very awkward question and handled well.

And let's face it. They play around with stuff in the subtext of the show. Fans aren't that crazy. (Well, they are but not always. ;-))

I will say that the woman who took the J&J vid checked her own "Ay Dios Mio" response. Unfortunately, we as a culture we aren't at ease with many sexualities yet.

Yet. :-)
