See, I was all - take deep breaths and think of something yellow - but it just kept bringing me back to the lemons!
1) Exactly! And the number of people who write about Ronon and say, oh, they never thought they'd like him when he replaced Ford and now they love him...
3) In fairness, it may just be that I'm suddenly reading a lot of older stories that mention it, but seriously - John gave him the lemon! Without adding that, oh, this could kill him if you bring it too near him, which would seem to suggest that it wouldn't. Can I shake people until they get some common sense?
I wasn't referring to anyone specifically with any of the general writing gripes, just things that I see a lot that wind me up. I know there's a whole lot of stuff that doesn't make logical sense (like tension bleeding out, which never bothers me) there's just something about those that makes me grind my teeth and curse.
...really? That was the answer?
We never actually had an explicit answer, but the implication from the complete lack of discussion of any sexuality other than straight is that yep, heterosexuality is compulsory, or at least anything else doesn't count.
