Rodney McKay/David Hewlett Thunk/Discussion/Appreciation

[Tinah]

I catch myself looking at other's eyelashes from other showsand notice how long they are.

Maybe that's a good idea: watch other shows so I'm not distracted by Rodney when examining eyelashes! Maybe it's time for a re-watch of SG-1?

[ed263]

Oh oh oh! That sounds good (and it's written by women too, so I'm quietly hopeful for some great emotion and whumping!)

That's what I'm hoping!

If 'Homecoming' is #16, they've still got 4 to go before that one, as the last one that came out 'Angelus' was #11 (the four missing ones are 'Dead End' 'Brimstone' 'Hunt and Run' and 'Death Game')

Amazon shows the release dates for May, June and July for those books and then Homecoming in Oct. So hopefully the schedule release dates will hold.

Not to sound picky or anything... but could you... perhaps... put descriptions of what actually happens in a book under a spoiler in the future? *shuffles feet in embarrassment over being difficult * Some people prefer to be totally spoiler-free..!

Didn't even think about putting the Product Description for the book in spoilers...apologies. Will do so next time.

Some old WWRT.

Great WWRT! Really loved the picture in the last one!

Oh, wait, I already did know his neighbor had it...nevermind

Doesn't he talk about it in a later season though? Randomly...for some reason I remember him mentioning his cat in s5 but I might be wrong

Oh, he mentioned his cat. He said he used to have one.

[Mimzy]

Oooh, the eyelashes in the last one..! *is hypnotized* Is it just me, or does he have long eyelashes ( for a man )? I keep thinking, when I re-watch SGA, that I'm going to look at the other men's eyelashes too, so that I can compare... but I always find myself too wrapped up in Rodney and forgetting everybody else..!

Slightly off topic: Clicked your little eggs! I used to have dragons too, but I lost interest...

Ahaha I noticed that too

[Tinah]

Seeing as I'm just waiting around at home for a doctor's appointment, I thought I'd try my hand at writing up this little questionnaire for Bushy ( and anybody else who might want to answer, if you prefer it this way to my "love-like-dislike-hate" list format ). I hope this is easier to answer. But don't feel pressured to answer at all, it's just that I'm curious about people's preferences and "squicks", to know what to talk to people about, or what not to talk to them about.

Off topic, but it looks like RodneyIsGodney got in a question for this Paul McGillion interview in SciFiAndTvTalk. Congrats!

Oh, here, I can make this on topic.

[Tinah]

Oh, here, I can make this on topic.

Aww, they're so lovely together! I always wondered what was going on in that pic... and finally came up with the guess "David pretends to be a dog".

A second trailer and a featurette has been added to the official website for the movie Splice. There is a split second more of David as the camera takes a long shot of the table where the two scientists (portrayed by Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley), someone unknown to me, and David are seated.

Split second

No.

Thank you, Tinah, for the form...

You're welcome!

No one specific, but I tend to read more OC ships.

Interesting... I don't read them myself, but I've heard that OCs very often are self-inserts/Mary-Sues. Do you find it easy to find fics with good OCs?

Any form of Stargate bashing....

And everything is being bashed somewhere on Gateworld... I've found that for the sake of my own sanity I need to stick to a few threads where people agree with me about the main subject ( like here, Rodney ) and avoid mentioning the things we disagree on.

Wow, so many people posting right now I can't keep up! Thanks for the info and pics, it's good to see he's keeping busy!

Not really. There *is* one OC/McKay story that I just *adore*, though. I'll send the link to you later.

I know, right?!

[Tinah]

Oooo, I like these.

Great! Thanks for replying! ( I seem to have missed your reply in between all this refreshing and quoting and posting... )

I've been looking at people's replies so far ( together with the ones I have from last year ) and... it seems like there's nothing we all have in common except loving Rodney! For everything somebody loves, there's another person who can't stand it. That's interesting to consider.

A question about quoting, replying, and forum functions:

Spoiler:

I'm not really sure how this forum is set up, especially now that it's changed while I was gone. I ended up posting separate replies to all three posts, since each post now has its own reply button. Does this mean that you can view the forum in a sort of "tree-mode", I mean where replies "branch out" depending on whether it's "reply with quote" or "reply to thread"? If I use the "reply with quote" thing and then quote other posters too in the same post and reply to them, does that mean that they might end up in the wrong "branch" and somebody might miss my reply to their post? I'd hate to seem like I'm ignoring somebody when I just don't really understand the functions. I've read somewhere that there's this "multi-quote" function..?

[Tinah]

Not really. There *is* one OC/McKay story that I just *adore*, though. I'll send the link to you later.

Well, I don't actually read fanfiction right now ( except some of Varda's )... It's a long story, but it has to do with whether or not I myself will write again, and if so, how reading other people's fics will influence that possibility. I'm... a bit weird, and I have lots of things to figure out.

I just realized I don't own any rice, so I have to run off and buy some! *waves*
