New Jonas thread on the General Discussion. Honestly know why people bother-they've washed their hands of the character, a large proportion of the fandom is completely stuck in their opinion of him as 'Daniel clone' and if he is so much as mentioned in the apparent third series then even as an atheist I will believe that Hell exists-if only to have become frozen over. All that happens is that we get the same arguments for and against, none of which go anywhere, and in this case, people not understanding the situation and also not liking his personal convictions (I know he's still interested in Scientology, but a 'nut'? Come on, he's no fanatic, and Scientology is no more bonkers than most other religious groups )-which is irrelevant when he's not pushing them down people's throats a la certain other actors.
*Sigh*
Jonas as a character doesn't fit into seasons 8-10. All we can do is appreciate what we did get from him.

I have this sudden image of him being taken as a treat to the British Library, and being terribly upset when they tell him that no, he's not allowed anywhere near their beautiful medieval manuscripts without prior permission.
Jonas and Daniel at the BL. Christ, it would become official literary geek HQ.

I'm not religious, it all looks the same to me.

Jack O'Neill would die for any member of his team. But there's only one he'd live for: Samantha Carter.

Hiya Buc!

If a someone needs a reason to pass the blame around then some things are apparently interchangeable.
It's amazing how it happens every single time though.

My views on philosophy and religion can be a little forceful, so hopefully that's not too bad...

I agree
It doesn't effect the way I look at his acting style, the roles he chooses or the way he looks. Which is not bad I can say even at my age.
ETA: I also made a post on that thread. Here's the link.

And the obligatory bi-monthly (if we restrain ourselves, which isn't too often ) 'Mansquito' pic:
I suspect if a certain other major actor wasn't so annoyingly vocal, acted his age and played parts with variety and interest then people might not get so funny about the issuesigpic

I saw your post, LaCroix. To the point and restrained. Which, thankfully, was the general mood of most of the posts. I dread to think what kind of bile appeared on other forums at the time. I've seen glimpses of it, here and there, and it's frankly a bit sad.sigpic

The only difference is that Scientology is just a little suspect in terms of its founder and founding and is also very, very expensive
Whales. Huge things. Big mouths. Eats tiny krill. Now that's silly.
