excerpt:
General Jack O'Neill (Stargate SG-1): One of the first people to step off
the planet by way of the Stargate, and leader of the first team commissioned
to do it as their job (and by the way? Coolest. Job. Ever.), Jack is tough,
sarcastic, silly, much more complex than he lets on, a survivor, and
stubborn enough to bring down an ancient alien empire. Mixed in with Richard
Dean
Anderson's ability to convey very deep emotion with the smallest facial
changes, and his equal loves for his resident brain Samantha Carter and pie, and
he comes out as both kick-ass and endearing
John Crichton and Aeryn Sun (Farscape): The character of John Crichton
could easily have been made into an idiot-- just read some of the novelizations
so see how easily-- but this fish out of it's galaxy is doing his damnedest
to make do with what he has, to use his weird humanness to survive in an
even weirder place that seems to much more vivid than Earth ever did, and to
help a lost and rejected soldier find the good side she'd always avoided.
Aeryn, on the other hand, is abandoned by her people and forced to learn a new
life, and that gives us this great arc of figuring out everything about love,
friendship, self-reliance, and who you are in the face of giant empires.
This is one of those couples that stand alone as well as together, and that
makes them amazing
