OK I GIVE UP, I HAVE TO KNOW.

WHERE IS THE CANON THAT SAYS JOHN (Sheppard, SGA) COMES FROM A MILITARY BACKGROUND? where where where where where? Did I miss it in my marathoning? was it one of the tidbits you miss when you watch television at four in the morning? Or did the SGA fandom make some kind of collective decision? Have some kind of hallucination/revelatory vision? What?

:D! Have one of McKay, too!

Uh, I think it may be some combination of just going for the lowest common denominator because we know nothing about his background and the fact that the one time we do see Sheppard back on earth he's in a fake apartment with his dead friends and the girl who wouldn't date him and that teacher he had that one time, but not his parents, which clearly means they were Emotionally Distant Military Types.

[b] So so gay! (I am just secretly terrified that when they pull in Sam Carter next season it will suddenly be all Sam/Rodney and John/Teyla and I don't think I can handle watching Sheppard be awkward and clueless at Teyla for a whole season. On Rodney it is endearing; on Sheppard it is just his way of saying I AM GAY.) And yes that scene was made of pretty much sheer awesome, and I loved Ronon's confusion. (Your fandom spazzing makes me happy! My SGA love is about a year old but since I have put it away on a shelf since Sunday aired I am happy to shake it out again.)

...How could I forget [i]! Perhaps [j] the real OTP of the fandom is actually an OT3: McKay/Sheppard/Atlantis?

Awww, he's so cute when he's silent sleeping... *pets inappropriately*

I def. understand where people get it from. it's just astoundingly universal. I mean, I know there's pervasive fanon in every fandom, but SGA seems to have certain things that are just universal, and in many ways they're totally detail things, too - John's dad is military, McKay's parents fought a lot... I just keep worrying I've missed some canon!

(Oh wow, yeah, I'm TERRIFIED of Sheppard/Teyla. They have such a cute friendship vibe! I love it! Actually, I was really digging the team vibe lately where Teyla apparently has the hots for some random dude, and they're all mocking her about it, and it's hilarious. And awesomely happily gen. I like it.) I was just AWESOMED by John saying "or a guy", it made me happy in ALL my pushbutton areas, including the ones that have nothing to do with fandom... the ones about GENDER and IDENTITY and yeah, show: awesome. (*does the happy little fandom dance* I understand why you would be sad about Sunday, but it was SUCH a great episode I can't contain myself - and I was spoiled for it before I even started watching the show, so I think it got me in a different place emotionally - I never let myself get too attached to Carson.)

[j]: wow, SO TRUE.
