Why did you do such a thing, you mediocre dunces? -
Hi, just a brief visit, since I have RL stuff to do today. Have you noticed the Gateworld news about the upcoming podcast? Am I the only one who worries about our geek
being classified as "overused" and people linking to this in every discussion on "who's the best actor/character"? I know some of you don't read/post in those threads, but... I'm so tired of having to defend poor Rodney ( and even David at times, from narrow-minded comments like "if he's capable of [ playing a character different from Rodney ] ). There's already so much Rodney-hate going on. And now the Gateworld people ( Darren & David, I think they're called. Don't keep track... ) are going to give them more "ammunition", because what they say is more "true" than what we say. [/rant]

Great pics Alder!
Love all the sigs Varda! Snurched one ...so far.
Teyla also wore the red
Nice to see I'm not the only one doing that!
Teyla wore red too! (diplomatic yes?)
Hey, blue also happens to be David's fave color too... and mine.
Well, then I'm not a real geek either because I HATE coffee.
And most likely this...
Spoiler:
*kicks their rotten stinking no good butts*
That is my fave scene in the whole entire movie!
Spoiler:
OH MERCY! David in a suit! GAH! ...I mean GUH!
Unfortunately I had to quit due it being late last night and due to work, I went to TNT's website this morning but it wasn't there. Thank you for not giving up!
He even went "Hmm." just like Rodney!

I am the pot calling the kettle black.
The thing is... everyone is entitled to their opinions! (sucks huh?)
I have never made any bones about the fact I don't like Keller or the Rodney/Keller pairing,
BUT!!
I know other people who do like Keller and Rodney/Keller!
Now I HATE seeing certain people always Ragging on Rodney! Drives me nuts! *grumpy sigh*
Just like other people who like Keller have to read how much other people (like me) dislike Keller!
I LOVE Rodney!
I love David (fangurl here)
I just keep defending Rodney!
Just like other people defend Keller.
If some one is harping on DAVID, then report them, that is a big No No! (harping, not reporting)Why did you do such a thing, you mediocre dunces?Comment

Yeah, I know... I'm not used to being in a community where people disagree so strongly about things. I used to be a huge Sean Bean fan for five years, and we were mostly agreeing with each other, and when we didn't, nobody felt the need to start a debate or defend a position. But that was an actor community, this is a franchise community, so I guess that's the difference. I guess I'm a bit of a "black pot" too, but I try to keep my negative opinions to myself, or at least under spoilers.
And I think the only bad things I've seen them say about David are that he's not sexy enough to play the romantic interest ( which a mod told them was bashing and not allowed ) and a disbelief that he could play a character different from Rodney ( which no mod took any issue with, but I assume it isn't really "bashing" ). It's annoying, feeling the need to jump in and defend somebody I appreciate, when it's just a matter of opinion really. I guess I care too much. Rodney's a fictional character and there'll always be people who love him as well as people who hate him, and the Gateworld mods are good at stepping in to make sure real people are treated with respect.
It's sad, though, that he's the only one of the team who has "haters" ( by "team" I mean the people who go on missions with Shep ). Like with the movie where his character is stuck in a tree, I feel strongly about when one person is singled out for bad treatment out of a whole group. Due to my own past, this gets very personal to me.Comment

I have always found David to be way sexier, cuter than any of the other guys on Atlantis/Sg1 *shrug*
I just said in another post that a lot of people confuse the writing of Rodney with the way he SHOULD have been done!
I love fanfic because Rodney is done more justice by fans than he was by the writers on SGA!
I roll my eyes when people go on about what a jerk Rodney was...I never saw it. Or I have blinders on *nods* yea cause Rodney is an *cough* Ang *cough* el, "Excuse me"
Just ignore them! No really! Put them on ignore! It works!Why did you do such a thing, you mediocre dunces?Comment

Well, for me the attraction to a character is based on three things: the acting, the writing, and the actual looks of the actor, with the first two being the most important. An actor can be very attractive and yet I don't form any "connection" to the character so he's not attractive to me, for example Ronon.
Me, I admit that Rodney sometimes is a jerk, but I also understand why ( and he understands it himself too, based on what he said to Zelenka in "Tao of Rodney" ) and to me, in combination with all his good sides, it just makes him an even more realistic and loveable character. And in my opinion, David's acting is damn good, very honest and emotional, even though I understand others may have different preferences.
Rodney makes me feel things, like admiration and sympathy and an emotional connection, he makes me laugh, he makes me identify with him and he makes me care. No, he's not perfect, but that just makes me feel that maybe, maybe I could teach him something, maybe I could be a good influence in his life.
EDIT: And putting people on "ignore" just because they disagree with me on one point ( albeit one that's very important to me ) I feel kind of messes up the communication. Even if they want to see poor Rodney dead, they can have interesting news to share about the movie, or whatever. You don't just block out that opinion, you block all of their posts. Besides, there's lots of people who don't like Rodney, so in some threads I probably wouldn't even know what's going on, since maybe 1/3 of the posts would be gone. ( Like for example the thread "Would you like to see Joe, David and Chris in a series together?". ) And especially some threads, like "Stargate: Extinction - speculation etc" I really want to read even though the anti-Rodney sentiments are painful to read.Last edited by Tinah; 24 June 2009, 03:00 AM.Comment

Best of luck with that! Even though it's not exactly what you want to do, it means a steady income as well as references for future employers.Originally posted by CarsonsKitty View PostOff topic moment...

Me too! Those other guys do absolutely nothin' for me what so ever!Originally posted by fumblesmcstupid View Post
I agree! I've seen sides of Rodney in fanfic that I can only dream about seeing on the show... the side he hides from us even though we know it's there.I just said in another post that a lot of people confuse the writing of Rodney with the way he SHOULD have been done!

Again, same here. Those naysayers, it seems, don't give Rodney a chance or the benefit of the doubt. They're judging this book by it's cover, so to speak.I roll my eyes when people go on about what a jerk Rodney was...I never saw it. Or I have blinders on *nods* yea cause Rodney is an *cough* Ang *cough* el, "Excuse me"
Just pretend it's Rodney.
I do ignore them.Just ignore them! No really! Put them on ignore! It works!
A for what it's worth I do not believe that Rodney was being "overused" on the show. He's the CSO of Atlantis for crying out loud! As well as one of the lead characters, so, you're(we're) gonna see a lot of him whether you(we) like it or not. We like it! Also, Rodney is the only one who can do certain things and he's needed all the more because of this; therefore used more. Also, the writers love to write for McKay... so I hear.

I always thought that even the worst Rodney episodes were a hell of a lot better than the best Ronon or Sheppard or even Teyla episodes. But maybe that's because I liked Rodney more than the others and loved it when an entire episode was alla bout him. Even when it wasn't about him, I loved it when it turned into a Rodney episode like Doppelganger.A for what it's worth I do not believe that Rodney was being "overused" on the show.
