Mmmmm. SGA

[lierdumoa]

fashes came over yesterday for an SGA marathon. She got here around 4:00pm yesterday. She went home around 3:00am this morning. Among other things, we came to conclusions such as that Ronan is the black dress of the SGA fandom. You know -- in between all the staring and drooling.

We drank too much coke and Thai food, then watched "Childhood's End" and decided we really needed to buy chocolate. Uuuuuuugh. Chocolate hangover. Not fun. Not even a real hangover.

Didn't realize just how fannish the show is until I watched it with her. I mean, I knew, but I didn't *know* know. There are, like, twenty bajillion fan shoutouts in every episode.

Had an interesting epiphany. See, when reading fic before we saw the source, adrienne2 had a small spazzout over one in which she was annoyed with an author for making John nearly destroy a planet when the indigenous people hurt Rodney. Because, like, that's the whole reason don't ask, don't tell exists -- the military thinks it's officers are going to do dangerous and outrageouss shit like this if they get too attached to their team members. It's like you're taking that and fetishizing it because John is so omghot when he loses all perspective.

The, of course, we actually watched the series and realized for John this behavior is canon and if any fetishization is going on, blame the script writers. See, he could have just turned off the stargate when the Genii called for reinforcements. It was really only pure vindictiveness and the giant pissing contest he was having with General Badass that made him leave the stargate on and put up the shield.

General Badass: You killed two of my men!
Sheppard: Now we're even!
General Badass: I don't like even. Say good bye to Dr. Weir.
Sheppard: ::goes insane::
Sheppard:::puts up shield::
Stargate: PHOMP. PHOMP PHOMP PHOMP. PHOMPPHOMPPHOMPPHOMPPHOMPPHOMPPHOMPPHOMP.

Aheh. I guess Sheppard doesn't like even either. I especially love that end scene, when they're standing on the balcony, relieved that the storm is over. "How long in advance can we book vacations?" Cause you know, that whole killing 65 people thing? Exhausting as hell. No rest for the psychotic.

Meanwhile, fashes and I are watching and thinking, "OMGHOT. HOLYCRAPHOT. SOFUCKINGHOT. With the...and the..."

In other news, I realized that I have been neglectful in my dispensing of picspam links.

Young David Hewlett (God bless you ficbyzee).

Behold the miraculous transmgrifying ability! Watch how he changes his facial structure to resemble any number of too pretty white boy actors. Splash him with water and he can do Hayden Christensen! Dress him up in prissy college clothes and he can do Jude Law! Provide photographic evidence and, well, he can do me.
