In Which Our Heroine Thinks About SGA Far Too Much

So, I spent the entire ride into work this morning trying to rationalize the Michael arc so that I wouldn't think about- well, okay, see? I am real bad about not thinking about things.

Anyway. I don't mean I tried to rationalize the Michael arc for myself, because if you ignore the... um. If you ignore your preconceived notions of the characterization of the characters involved, it works really well to show that the good guys aren't always good, blah blah blah. That works in my head, I'll take that.

The problem is, I don't think that's what the writers meant by it. So I've been trying to figure out the purpose of that arc and...

I can't.

There are a multitude of problems with the entire thing, a multitude of reasons why it doesn't make sense in canon, a multitude of evidence that the writers didn't actual think out what they were doing.

WTF.

...YOU DIDN'T TELL HER, DID YOU? SHE HASN'T MENTIONED IT.

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
NO I REALLY HONESTLY DID. MAYBE I BETTER TELL HER AGAIN TO MAKE SURE SHE GOT THE MESSAGES. :|

;____; WHY DID YOU ABANDON SUCH A PERFECT LIFE FOR THE MISERY YOU HAVE NOW? THINGS LIKE WHAT ALMOST HAPPENED TO SHO NEVER HAPPEN OVER HERE WHERE WE'RE HAPPY AND CAREFREE AND READING FIC ABOUT THEM BEING TURNED INTO PENGUINS.

BECAUSE THE FANDOM ANNOYED ME. THIS IS WHY I STOPPED WATCHING SPN TOO. LOL MOAST LAME.

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOL

N, this is why I avoid fandom itself at all costs. Meme fandom and the little groups I've created with my friends are good enough for me. ALSO IT MEANS I NEVER HAVE TO READ BADFIC.

Also, I can't believe JE fandom doesn't annoy you.

[identity profile] sadface.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
no but see but see. I learnt my lesson, right? I added all the JE comms to my RSS feeds and now I never, ever see anyone's comments and its much better for me! and I have like 3 flisters who are in it and 2 of them are crazy Aiba/Jun shippers and the other posts cool pictures!

I SURVIVE BY NOT ACTUALLY BEING IN THE FANDOM.

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOL OH BECKY.

HEY. YOU SHOULD JOIN ME AND SOLETA'S SGA FANDOM. It's awesome. We are pretty much the *coolest people ever* and are awesome and YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO BE IN OUR LITTLE CLUB.

I am writing fic with Cthulhu. And zombies. That's how fucking awesome we are.

not that one with the fake wedding thing though. they were married? idk, it was like a romance novel.

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
All fics involving weddings are crap, anyway. YOU JUST NEED TO READ SOME REAL GOOD FIC. I'LL FIND SOME FOR YOU, DON'T WORRY. I WILL SHOW YOU JUST HOW WRONG YOU ARE, AND YOU WILL LOVE IT LIKE I DO

(which, for reference, is less than I love Mulder/Scully but moar than I love the two aunts from Pushing Daisies)
