    I didn't know this. I like it. I'm having visions of him showing up on Firefly as Mal's brother...

    I think the mental image of a muscular bloke on a horse is a damned sexy image! :: drools some more::
    Or you could be like me. The last time I was on a horse, I hadn't ridden in quite a few years. OMG I don't think I could walk for a week.

    Yunadax, I'm jealous. Some days I'd rather be with a horse than some people.

    Gateraid, I'm not touching your last comment on this subject.

    Answer: Although we didn’t see them, Kanaan and Torren made the trip back to Earth with Teyla.


    And I guess that settles that.
    Finally. Does anyone else find it odd that he's been fairly forthcoming with information lately. Kinda makes you wonder...

    Or how about in EatG

    Spoiler:
    Why didn't they leave Ronon dead? Now that would have been realistic given it was supposed to be this epic battle for Earth. If you were going to have casualties, I would think this would be the time. And not that I wanted him dead, but it was fairly well done and fit the character and yes, I was sad when it happened. But not too sad because even though I hadn't read the spoilers, I was sure he wouldn't die. No guts, PTB.

    Sulu, ahead warp factor 5. WTH, this script just has Kirk's name instead of mine. And they crossed out Star Trek and wrote StarGate. With crayon
    This one's my favorite; love the crayon. LOL


    Regarding Irresponsible, I seem to remember even JM admitting that episode didn't play out on screen like they envisioned. They had intended to pay tribute to the old spaghetti westerns by having Shep and Kolya shooting it out at the end. Actually, it WAS kind of like spaghetti. LIMP.

        Spoiler:
        I mean, yeah, it would've sucked for Ronon to die, but... yeah. That would've been a great way for him to go, and it would've been 'realistic,' just like TPTW said they wanted.

          My sister's horse was great. Our washing line was out in the paddock, so I'd walk out with a basket of washing (yes, guys do washing too), then jump on the horse and ride out to the washing line. It was only about 100m or so but really convenient. Except if I didn't pat her then the sadistic creature would slober on my clothes.

          I must be the only one who thought that death scene was lame. Not Teyla and Rodney's reactions, but the death itself. Couldn't they find a bigger knife? Knives are really cheap

                    The last two pages of pictures, caps and discussion of bareback riding is why I loves you people.

                    *nods* In SGA (with rare exceptions), the characters are written like they're cardboard cutouts instead of actual people, despite TPTW's claims that they've tried to make things more 'realistic' by killing off characters. As Reiko pointed out, it's the actors who really make the characters human.

                    Yep, not too long. Though I would have personally prefered that he would be replaced in the next episode, so that would put Sunday right before First Strike. It irks me to know that he's forgotten that easily, or it might just be a result of SGA's episodic nature. Or, whatever, but death shouldn't be treated that lightly? I dunno. I liked the Submersion episode but it pissed me off. Same with the episode after Lifeline.

                    It seems that things only last for one episode ... or, rather the last five minutes since no one dies at the start of an episode.

                    Erm, and didn't Ford get better after Siege III?

                    Unlike what others think I think SGA would have been better if they kept the main cast intact unless an actor wanted to leave or things really weren't working out with the character (Ford -- ignore the fact that the new storyline that would be great for his character was quickly forgotten). It's a show with a good dynamic and if you edit just one part of it you can lose that dynamic really quickly.

                    Hee. And JF would make a good cowboy.
                    Yay. I would have never once believed that Teyla would leave her family behind.
                    Realistic? P-shaw. There is nothing realistic about killing off Elizabeth, Carson, and Kate, when, as we've mentioned quite a bit, they're not the off-world team! If you wanted to be realistic, John, Rodney, Ronon or Teyla should have been a casualty, because they're more directly in the line of fire, have been kidnapped more, and have generally been the ones facing danger. In terms of story, one of them should have died to be 'realistic' before people who spend most of their time in Atlantis.

                        Amen to that! Why get invested in the characters and how they connect with each other when those characters (and connections) are going to get torpedoed for the sake of "reality." FCOL - it's scifi people! I don't watch scifi for huge doses of reality......
