why do we assume that Ronon has anything more in common with Teyla than with the Earthers?
Two, two, two exotics at once!
Yes, I am making my sociocultural point about orientalism by punning on a commercial. That is what makes me postmodern.
Fred: The size and depth of the wound indicate a female vampire. Harmony: Or gay! Fred: Um…it doesn't really work like that.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, I'm glad you liked it, because I was totally guessing and haven't seen the particular episodes being debated.
Still and all, the big clue was who is allowed to say "don't" and "can't" in dialogue, and who has to say every syllable like an actor at speech class. Also, I bet there is a correlation between fictional peoples who may be considered exotic and fictional peoples almost totally ignorant of the concept of irony.

Ah, well, Ronan/on does get to speak with contractions, slanginess, and snark, so there's that departure, at least.
I'm looking forward to Sam coming back, but I will miss Vala, and I would love to see them together. Could still, I suppose. I have a question, but not sure about wf, so...
is Vala gone now? As in, won't be in this week's ep? Not much of a send-off. Did I just breeze by the part where they fixed the being connected to Daniel thing? I admit to not watching the SG eps closely this past week, but I'd think I would've caught that much .

Jen, I saw her in the trailer I saw last night, so she's definitely in this ep.

Oh, OK, good. Well, then maybe I'll get my wish. That'd be nice.

Thanks to the gracious and talented ita, I finally saw Prometheus Unbound.
Vala was a LOT more dangerous in that episode. Nowadays she's mostly comic relief; her Sekrit Power is annoying people to death. Okay, she gets points for shooting an Orii last week, but in general I'm not seeing the woman who could overpower *everybody on the Prometheus*.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I do see both the chemistry there, and the problem with it, philosophically. However, yeah, he really does seem less alien than Tayla does (and terribly American, IMO), so it bothers me less (less, actually, than putting her with John, but that's a whole different issue for me).

Oh, yes. As I said elsewhere recently, she even managed to escape from the brig and take out an entire security team without any weapons. Which leads me to believe she might have been able to escape from Daniel any time she wanted...

Well, she did cut him out of the pack as being the most attractive. It gets lonely out in space, just you and your zat.
