Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Fluffy Thursday!

Really, if they wanted the books to be truly canon, they wouldn't have either romanticship. Now wait, hear me out. Because as much as we love Sparky and as much as the Sheylas love Sheyla, neither romantic relationship was canon onscreen. The best thing they could've done for the book series, really any series, was find a writer who can write it as was seen onscreen by a non-biased viewer. Otherwise, one ship is screwed regardless.
But to take a plot line that was set up on the show by the writers and throw it out the proverbial window just to suit the writer's own fancy is very unprofessional, IMHO.
That's why I will always advocate the novel "Casualties of War"besides the fact that it's the only SGA novel I own. The characters are in-character and written as they were portrayed on screen. The working friendship between John and Elizabeth is clearly seen from start to finish, but at no moment do you expect them to just walk up to each other and start making out. Because that's not what they would do. Radek is cursing in Czech. Ronon is not saying much but wanting to shoot someone. Heck, one of the opening scenes is a hilarious account of the team doing laundry. Would've loved to have seen that onscreen. And I feel like I did. It could be the novelization of a S3 episode and would've fit in perfectly.
It's like an architect receiving plans from a mentor when he's unable to complete the project, and then changing around the entire design because you didn't really like it from the start. It becomes something that people familiar with the plans don't even recognize anymore.
Sorry for the rant. I had coffee very late tonight and now am wide awake. But I needed to say it. *nods*
Virtual green coming your way.
Originally posted by Southern Red View PostThank you for saying all that. You read my mind and saved me the trouble of ranting about this. Though I may still do that later. The thing that is most puzzling is how and why MGM approved something so OOC for both canon and the characters. I think they are just rubber stamping this and suspect a lack of interest and knowledge of canon. Somehow these authors got a foot in the door and the little minion at MGM is just taking their word that what they are writing is canon.
Of course, nothing we say here will be taken seriously because we will be accused of being upset about our ship. However, if you think that's all that matters to some of us, you (general you) need to go and read SGA Rising.(This is legal notice that any attempt to censor or delete, for the purpose of oppressing fair and open discussion, any statement made by me will be considered a violation of my right to free speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, and will be dealt with in accordance with federal law.)
Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

Random observation - don't go to the grocery store when you're hungry. The only saving grace for me was that I wouldn't be home for awhile so I couldn't buy anything frozen.
