          It's A Paradox - when you want to "fave" something on GW, click the star in the lower left corner. See the explanation here [link]

            Most of their "wth were you thinking" scenes were about his botched negotiations or some trouble he and Rodney got into. He definitely wasn't as quick to put himself in death's way - unless it was as a last resort - when Elizabeth was there.

              Hello all. I plan to read all the postathon posts tomorrow, but right now I just want to say Man of Steel rocks. Henry Cavill is smokin' hot. It's very loud with lots of action and seems to combine the first 2 Chris Reeve movies sort of. It seems a bit long, but you can distract yourself with the hotness.

                  Hmm, interesting. I've been reading some pretty mixed reviews on MoS, myself. Looks like it could end up being as polarizing in fandom as Iron Man 3 was. Maybe I'll wait until it hits the bargain theater...

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

                    Good morning. I picked out a few posts to comment on.

                    You hit the nail on the head here. I listened to a every commentary for all 5 seasons. Yes, I am that big a masochist. And it was obvious throughout that they thought their writing was the be all and end all. I don't remember much talk at all about actor chemistry. I doubt they even saw it, but there was a lot of talk about how great the very things were that the fans hated the most. A few examples being Keller, McKeller, how great certain actors were without ever mentioning others, etc.

                    Who knows what they intended, but I'm thinking a great big Sheyla anvil was at the bottom of it. They showed John bonding with the baby. It was supposed to foreshadow something for later. They thought they were being clever and never noticed that the fans didn't get it because they had not sufficiently built up a connection between them previously. This whole situation with TPTB and Sheyla was like some politicians I see in my country who only listen to their most trusted advisors and don't seek out the opinion of the voters. Or, if you don't understand politics, think about an artist who keeps painting in the same style because his students tell him how great it is and buy up all his paintings, but the general public thinks it's crap.

                    That whole nonsense with not liking Zelenka infuriated most of us. The Trio comments were the last straw. Another example of how blind TPTB were.

                    I can imagine my comment to that if I had been around. Smarty pants? Heh. I'm still thinking about those leather pants in MHC.

                      It's been years and I still haven't listened to any of the episode commentaries. And normally I love commentaries.

                      *snickers at the political comparison*

                      Yup. Trio was unbelievably stupid on so many levels. I expect we'll have a lot of snark for that post-a-thon.

                              Which is so odd - what was wrong with the Rodney/Katie pairing? They were so sweet together, it made me so sad when Rodney said "it doesn't matter anymore", total heartbreak.

                              Which are the other canon pairings?

                              I like Zelenka, he's clever and has wonderful banter with McKay. I really don't understand why TPTB decided to have everyone hate him - SGA was doing fine without that kind of bad treatment of colleagues. I know that nobody liked Kavanaugh, but there were pretty good reasons for that.

                                Off the top of my head--and anything that had a relationship element for realz, and I'm leaving out one night stands or one moment kisses cuz then I'd have to include a couple of John's alien women and bearded Mike:

                                Rodney/Katie
                                Carson/Cadman
                                Teyla/Kanaan
                                Ronon/ Melina (deceased wife)
                                Rodney/Keller
                                John/Nancy (technically his ex-wife, so past relationship, not present)
                                John/Chaya (okay, it was more than a night, the dude packed a picnic for her)
                                Elizabeth/Simon

                                Is that it?
