sua_layThis is actually something I ranted about in someone else's LJ, but decided to post it here as well, since I usually have nothing in depth and analytical to say about anything.
So.... The fandom is now going meep about McShep and the way it seems to be falling apart.
OMGs! Breathe!
I have to wonder just how many of people's fears about SGA plotlines are based on SG-1 and the way the dynamics went there. From the delightful Jack-Daniel friendship and bickering (yeah, yeah their love was so pure and so on) to the point where those two didn't seem to stand each other's presence. So very sad and pointless.
The resent developments in SGA do seem.... weird somehow. I don't know if it was because of the whole easy friendship the characters showed from the start. Somewhere on the line, everything became strained, and either they're actually going somewhere with all this, or maybe one of the writers realized that McKay and Sheppard have too much chemistry together and had a panic attack.
For a long time, it did seem like Sheppard was fortifying his closet, and our genious with absolutely no people skills had no idea what was going on. Now I have to wonder....
Anyway, about Trinity, I actually liked the way Sheppard couldn't deal with any of the issues with reason or professionalism. His belief in Rodney was completely a gut thing, and then when he realized he'd been wrong, of course it was a blow. On his trust but also on his ego. I like it when people don't act rationally, because, sadly, that's the way we usually operate. Especially if we have feelings invested on stuff.
I just hope people won't start writing stupid h/c where Sheppard suddenly realizes he's been so nasty to Rodney and how Rodney really is cool and stuff and then we see total OOC behaviour before the inevitable bathing and calling the chief scientist 'sweetheart' in the lab....
*headdesk*
I refuse to go into a panic quite yet. Usually, I jump ship when the fandom seems to go downhill (what do you mean I haven't watched the last seasons of Angel, Xfiles, SG-1, the West Wing....) and I don't feel like leaving SGA just yet.
:P
