ruminations

Note to self: avoid Gateworld forums in future.

So many people who will bite your head off if you dare to voice a single negative opinion about a character's actions (as compared to throwing out a character wholesale and shutting, deadbolting, and welding the door closed behind them - that I object to), 'tis not funny.

Truly told, I can think of occurrences through the show where I've wanted to slap all the characters for stupidity. I can also think of occurrences through the show where I've wanted to hug and squeeze and pet the characters for something well-done or cuteness or adorability.

In the end? I still like the characters. All of them. Faults and all. When they're good, they're very, very good; even if when they're bad, they can be incredibly stupid.

I guess it never ceases to amaze me how close-minded fans can be on a medium that prides itself on being open-minded about everything.

Oh its not just gateworld. It's loads of forums. I would say your personal LJ is the only place you can say something because it gets read by your friends who are hardly gonna bite your head off.

And they do do stupid things sometimes! However I have a stronger urge to hit the writers, cause often what they have done is OOC and was just written so the plot can continue.

Heck, they were all idiots in The Return part 1.

Tis true, tis true. If you're new you have to be really careful over there not to make too loud a showing...you risk getting decapitated. :P Your LJ is a cozier place to share opinions. *snuggles*

Eh. Fans being stupid again. And panicky over the possible news of someone being axed from the cast.

I almost care enough to go over to gateworld and browse... and I looked...
Carson??

Hmmm--

Surely they jest-- remeber the 'turtles' remark in The Return, Part 1 oh no.... oh no...

I'm hoping they don't axe anyone! Because I loves them all, my preciouses!

Personally, I think that if anyone gets the chop, it'll be a minor, guest character, not any of the main six. But that's just me. I am relieved, however, that it looks like they're going to keep RL as Teyla.

Gasp! Was that ever in question?! The very idea of replacing her with someone else is terrifying, absurd, incomprehensible...
