Dear Stargate: SG-1 (a confession of like)
I'm stubborn, and bad with change, and I really don't like admitting it when I'm wrong. Still, in a situation like this, you've got to do what you've got to do, and so I need to say the following:
Dear Stargate: SG-1,
I kind of like you.
Now, I'm not committing to anything - it's too early in our relationship for that, I think. We're going to have to take it slow, I think, and I'm not going to stop spending time with SGA or dS. They're important to me, and you need to understand that if we're going to get anywhere with this. And I'm sorry, but I don't want to get involved with your fandom, because that is way too much to ask - it wouldn't be fair to you, or to my other fandoms, or to me.
That said? Hi. Hi. You're kind of cute.
See, I watched 1x01 this weekend, and...and OK, yeah. You were goofy and weird and really pretty dishy in that black leather jacket, and Sam Carter? Hi. HI. I have such a crush on your Sam Carter. She's smart and capable and is not taking shit from anyone, and wow. Wow. She's actually very informative - gives me some inspiration for Ingram McKay. So, you know, thank you for that.
And the show was very nice, too.
And then, because I was getting the impression that the first twenty minutes of 10x03 were a lot more important than I'd thought, and so I downloaded and watched it, and...
And OK, yeah, I kind of love you. I take back all the mean things I said about you in my last post, because the banter in the briefing room made me laugh to the point of tears. Back-and-forth, and Vala not getting the cultural references, and Rodney being pompous and then goofily gratified when Vala isn't making fun of him, and Sam and her little "We weren't going to tell him [that we need him]" thing, and "Don't shoot me, you know I can't help myself!" Oh, Show. You aren't My Show, it's true, but you are no longer Not My Show.
As for the lemon thing...dude. I totally managed to miss the setup for this...with the setup, it's funny! ...I mean, not hysterically funny, but it works a lot better than just having Cameron whip a lemon out of nowhere, which is what I thought was happening. It's a tasteless joke, but with the setup, it manages to be John making a tasteless joke across space and time, and not Cameron being really mean to Rodney.
...it's actually kind of cute, in a stupid sort of way.
And I have SO MUCH LOVE for Rodney thanking Sam Carter for being there, and the way she's trying really hard not to be touched, and yet TOTALLY IS BECAUSE SHE DOES THINK HE'S CUTE DAMN IT, and how then, when she asks if she was naked, he's really not that ashamed to mention that, yeah, partially, because it's not the point, and he's not ashamed.
Oh, Rodney. I'm never going to stop putting you with John Sheppard (well, not until you stop being geekily cute together), but you're really kind of cute with Sam Carter.
And Sam? You don't have to sleep with him, or even tell him that you'd sleep with him - in fact, I'm totally prepared to agree that those would be bad ideas. Still, you need to admit, if only to yourself: you would totally sleep with him. He's a dick, but he's smart and cute and actually kind of endearing, and Atlantis has been good for him.
Love,

Dear John Sheppard,
No, you cannot have POV in EVERY DAMN STORY I WRITE. Seriously, I love you to bits, but you need to let other people talk.
Love,

Dear Things I Should Be Doing,
