I'll have to go looking for leftover Krell machinery so my antipathy for Kristin Kreuk can take on lethal physical form after I see the adaptation.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Well, you've heard of LeGuin, I assume, yeah?
Heard of? Yes. Real familiarity with her work? Not so much. So, I'm saying... surprised. You know, I go through life, I think I know a lot of shit, yet I learn, time and again, not really. Fortunately, I'm OK with that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been reading danvers' recaps of post-hiatus Atlantis, and ... she doesn't hate Teyla. She sees Sheppard/Weir.
She's also really excited about Sheppard/McKay, so she's not nuts or anything -- she gets pretty funny.
But it's so weird (and an odd sort of betrayal from SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW) to be bopping along totally in the groove, and lo! She doesn't hate on Teyla when it's the only right thinking thing to do.

I am not alone, then. Excellent. Going to read her recaps. Not understanding the liking Teyla. Except, of course, I've only seen ep 11, as I've just whined about.

Sheppard/Weir isn't more wrong than Sam/Daniel -- it's just more ... dude, did you see him with McKay??? Or McKay with her, all told.
But it all pales in the face of not hating Teyla.

I'm saying. Well, you're saying. I'm agreeing.
I dont' know why, I just find Shep/Weir endearing. In the Sheppard to Weir direction, specifically. It's weird.
And from the recap of ep 11:
Kolya? You idiot! Have you seen Shep's hair?
Heh. Although, to be fair, at that point, I don't think he had, actually.

Teyla. Dude. She's just... god, she's like wonder bread. There's no there, there. No sharp edges, no anger, no nothing. Except hair that makes me want to cut off her head and hang it from the side of my chariot.

I'd pay cash money to watch, sister.
I haven't really warmed to Ford yet, either. I don't actively dislike, I just don't get much of a feeling for him. No spark. At least the hair is OK. And he's pretty.

They need a nice Fordy episode. He's cute, he's pretty, his arms are nice, I like it when gets snippy. He doesn't echo the sound of vacuum the way Teyla does -- just seems underused.
But my love for Sheppard is huge and terrible. Damn.
And I love that he's no Jack. Surface similarities, but no Jack. Still nummy, even if he can't be my #1 TV boyfriend.

This is how I felt after discovering that Yahtzee had glowingly recommended an Angel/Cordelia fic as one of her favorites. It's a real "Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?" moment.
