Gotta agree with folks about the hair thing. It works for Buffy because of context, and there's also the sense that she can win most fights one-handed while juggling her purse and cellphone. But barring that sort of setup, the only people who should be going into a fight with hair obscuring their faces are creepy Japanese ghost women.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For me, it's like the alien language barrier. The less you refer to it, the better. It's just one of those things you have to do to give my show because of meta/complex reasons.
If every single show with a fighting woman gave me an excuse for why they'd have to hide the stuntperson, I'd go nuts.
I'm already annoyed about the convulsions to hide the guys, and they seem to do more of their stunts, on average.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I just saw Atlantis 1.13, "Hot Zone".
Wow, Mckay's getting almost Wesley-like character development. And since no one here has claimed him, he's mine! ALL MINE! MWHAHAHA!!!
Dude. That was a good episode, reminiscent of some fine early standalone episodes of SG-1. I liked it better than "The Eye", the badass Shep episode.

Umm, are you sure that nobody's claimed McKay?
Because he is one of the favorite characters on that show.
And curse all of you, torrenting Aquarium/Spooks watching peeps!

I just watched Atlantis 1.14, and you'll get Sheppard only if you pry him out of my cold, dead fingers. Such a cutie. Pulled off something they've been trying to sell since 1967, and I rarely buy.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

No, that I'd totally buy, and it should be used more often.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Now you have me dying of curiosity. What happened in '67?

They did a Star Trek thing. And that's all I'm going to say out of white font. Sheppard hooks up with an alien princess, and McKay even calls him Kirk.

He has sex with an alien female who dies by the end of the episode?
They go back in time or find a world that is like 1950s Earth?
