Fandom tends to do that, though. Pick up on characters. Look at all the Devon fic out there. I couldn't pick Devon out of a lineup of minor BtVS characters.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Vonnie, I agree. I've got a folder full of them, but most of them I probably wouldn't watch again.
ita, I did that too. My favorite has to be the clip from "Absolute Power" to "Now move your big ass 'round this way So I can work on that zipper, baby". Talk about out of context.
(Apparently, Prince has a song called "Get Off" as well as the aforementioned song, called "Gett Off". Confusing when you're trying to track down the right lyrics.)

Major Davis -- well, he is in a bunch of episodes. And he has a sort of surprising number of scenes with Daniel, and there's the whole Jack-and-Teal'c-on-the-sub scene where they're clearly sharing the tension. Or at least, Davis is sharing. Daniel is just tense. And then, for god knows what reason, Davis holds off on giving the order to blow the sub waiting for Daniel to decide, which I'm pretty sure isn't the way the Air Force usually runs things. "Sir, we have to push the button." "I know, but we can't do anything until the civilian consultant on ancient cultures and languages gives the word!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes! I got to "big ass" and had to stop and cool myself down. Took me three tries to get through that one line.
And he has a sort of surprising number of scenes with Daniel
I'm realising this, but only in hindsight. I'd feel bad for him, but he has at least one pretty slash site, so he doesn't need me, and I can go back to Jack (the Little Black Dress of Stargate vid was great -- all fandoms should have at least one of those vids. Do they?)

He even has an authorized fan club on Yahoo groups. It's amazing the things you can find out when you're putting off doing your work.

Vonnie, Stargate Cantina? What? Link?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Oh, I know, but it puzzles me with Devon too. (As opposed to, say, Ethan, who is a tertiary character who makes sense to me as a locus for fanfic.)
Jack (the Little Black Dress of Stargate vid was great
The funny thing to me about that one is that Jack is, on the show, not actually so much of the slut. I mean, he has two offworld love interests in seven years, and his thing with Carter, and his feelings for his ex-wife.
In the fandom, of course, it's All About Who Gets To Sleep With Jack.

Wish fulfillment is a prime motivator.
Also, he seems to like touching people, so happy vid fodder.

A bandmate of Oz's. I remember him because he's kinda cute.
