Ronon Dex/Jennifer Keller Appreciation/Ship/Discussion (Doctor & Wild Man)

[Blencathra]

Yeah, there's loads of lovely stuff to look at, and some interesting conversations too - before TPTB messed it all up. Well... we will always have fan fic.

I know I wander back to early parts of the thread from time to time.

GUILTY!

I occasionally find myself wandering back to visit old pics.... funny that I totally never realized people were still on the thread... silly me...

[Everlovin]

I guess I'm the odd one out. I never go to the early days of the thread. It just hurts too much. Lots of fun, yes. But so much optimism that was stomped on.

I find it is a little bit like youtube... you can lose track of time wandering around in the thread.

Don't go back that far...just even the last couple of years is fun. Kind of feels like your eaves dropping until you see your own old post and realize you were in on the conversation then... so not really eaves dropping.

Speaking of old posts... there are times when I'm a couple years back and I'll be reading one of my own posts and it really doesn't sound like me. Kind of an odd feeling.

[Everlovin]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've changed a LOT over the last few years. Not sure I'd recognize a lot of my old self on the thread.

Stopping by to say hello to all. It has been a while! Happy Halloween!

[Everlovin]

Hey, Jody! What have you been up to?

[Nika]

Speaking of going back through things... I was watching Missing the other day, and I'd totally forgotten how much I hated that episode. They made Keller so whiney in that one. She was like a spoiled little kid the whole time.... Plus Ronon and Shep were hardly in the episode so I missed all the man-candy...

[Blencathra]

That was written by Carl Binder, if I seem to remember correctly. I thought he generally "got" Keller (and other female characters) and I tended to prefer his episodes. But I totally agree. He seemed to have made a misstep with that one. I liked parts of it, for instance Ronon realising that Jenn & Teyla were missing.

I think the irony of it is that although Keller was being terrified all the time, in actual fact Jewel did her own stunts as far as she was able.

[Everlovin]

What I liked about Missing was they didn't make Jenn another superwoman like Sam, Vala, or Teyla. She was so far out of her element.

Plus, I totally loved how Ronon was the one who knew that there was something wrong; Ronon who knew which direction they were in; and Ronon who left Rodney to guard their backs. If he weren't personally invested, none of that would be true.

[JadedWraith]

I have to do a SGA rewatch. I remember liking Keller in season 4. Then in 5, I am sorry but they wrote her uber annoying. I don't know, think they had trouble writing for women; even so, Carl Binder was one of my favorite writers.

[Everlovin]

It generally lacked consistency. I loved the characters, just got tired of no real growth or backward progression

Morning Love Shack. I'm so glad it is Friday.

[dragongirl]

I agree with Ever it was due to bad, inconsistent writing that made Jennifer not as good in season 5 as she was in season 4
