I also agree with beaniesheppard on canon. I also think that the way someone percieves a certain thing is just as important as fact, but does not negate that fact.
I think it's extremely difficult to be unbiased in something you care about (even a tv show). Obviously fans invest in the tv show and so they care about it. When dealing with emotions, things can and will get messy. I admit that I have Sheyla vision on whenever I watch SGA. So I notice Sheyla moments more and other ships tend not to take presidence in my mind. This is where the whole subtext comes into play. If you ship a certain couple, you'll be on the look out for subtext that supports your ship.
I agree with ubiquitous_girl. Material outside of the actual canon (things said, no subtext) don't fully count. It's hard to distinguish the hard facts unless it's there in the script. And even with what the characters say, it's not necessary pure canon. The actor's voice or imporving can make that little bit of difference.
lol. I'm enjoying the SGA discussions going around on LJ.
