Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

When SR Jr was a cadet in ROTC, they actually gave them pants with the pockets sewn up.
the no umbrella thing is why I got soaked at so many funerals and parades....:/

So I popped my S1 SGA DVD in yesterday while I made dinner because I like background noise (I live alone and it gets lonely and I like company...who better than Sparky, right?) and I watched Rising while I ate and is it me or did they make John kinda...I dunno...dumb....at the beginning? He just always seems to have this confused, dopey look on his face and it just...I dunno. I was getting mad at the writers for making him look stupid.
Maybe I'm just thinking about this too much....
And the boys and I started watching Hide and Seek while we played Sorry tonight and they LOVED the part when John pushes Rodney over the railing...my kids are awesome! LOLMy fanfics:http://evil_bad_evil.livejournal.com/3389.htmlMember of the Sisterhood of the Pantster Fan Fic Writers

Your kids are indeed the awesomest.
And BTW, Mallozzi actually complimented JF's acting when talking about Vegas. I almost fell out of my chair.

He is not stupid at the beginning of the show, he's just overwhelmed. Anyone would be.
Also, John seems to be the type who would downplay his intelligence. Jack O'Neill is like that as well.

Well, it's new to every member of the expediction, given that they're in another galaxy, but it's more new to John than to anyone else. Watch how he and Rodney act around Hermiod in season 2. Rodney is completely unimpressed (because he's worked with the Asgard before, but John is completely bewildered.

But what really made me LOL was in Misbegotten when he gave Teyla the same look when she was flying the ship. Don't believe me, just go look.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Sparky!Family Saturday!
Originally posted by Southern Red View PostIt's one of those little details civilians would never notice. That and saluting, oh, and wearing the cover indoors just about drives him around the bend. We watched NCIS last night and were both distracted by the vast number of errors. Unusual for this show. They didn't explain why a college grad was a Private, and had a 32 year old Captain wearing his shiny bars with the dark camouflage. Things like that which make civilians go "huh?" when we bring them up.

NCIS? Geeze, I would've thought they'd be better about stuff like that.
*looks around* Is the sky falling? Are pigs flying?
OMG. I AM going to have to check that one out!
I thought I saw a couple of pigs with wings earlier today, but his exact quote was:
Joe Flanigan is perfect as the washed up detective with nothing to lose.
Now, I may be wrong, but I see a bit of a back-handed compliment in there. You always have to parse what JM says very carefully.

I hope that was a joke, but just so you know there are people in here who actually do like Teyla as a character. Me, for one.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
