I have one thing to say about Vegas (the episode, not the place. I've nothing to say about the place).



Rodney? Wearing a wedding ring (when they're planning the air strike, gold band on his left hand). So all the post-eps where he runs off with John to live happily ever after - maybe need to get him divorced or something first?

You know what would be easier? Set John up with Cameron Mitchell :) Except, don't, because I'm writing it.

I'm assuming that episode is a lead in to whatever's going to happen back in normal verse next week? Cos otherwise, it was really just very random.

Also, why would he be happier if he survived?

See, but you could argue that they would take him in - maybe they need him for the gene, maybe they need him for something else, and that's why they went to all the trouble to explain it to him. Maybe he'd want in, and they'd persuade him, and if we believe that the real John going to Atlantis made things much better for him, why not this John as well?

I think I like the idea that he's meant to be working for the SGC, and that things would be better then. I mean, no wonder he's depressed, all that bad history, and a job he clearly doesn't like, with no-one who seems to give a damn about him. I can totally see the SGC wanting him for whatever reason, and using the embezzling to force him to come work for them (a bit like Jack's persuading) and then things get better from there. I just prefer it to heroic death, but clearly we're going to disagree on that :o)

*makes incomprehensible hand gestures*

I hate heroic deaths. I don't watch movies that end like that and I used to never read death fic.

It's just in this case ... and we agree on the why, we would both like somebody to care about him! I'm just a sad sod unable to see that potential in the other characters on screen ... hm, perhaps the nurse. Yeah ok *focusses on the nurse* she seemed to only person to genuinely like him and have known him for a bit.

Ok, so in my case it probably helps that I already have an au in my head, where Cam Mitchell is one of the guys who nearly bombed John and comes to see him, and they get friendly and end up on sg1 or whatever together. Because Cam's exactly the kind of guy who'd want to help John, and he didn't show up in the episode to be a dick to John.

So it's easier for me to imagine that he could be happier in a future where he doesn't die.

I agree - and I envied you before already for seeing/loving that pairing. In the past I couldn't BECAUSE I liked them both; they were just too similar, I liked them for similar reasons and saw them as friends, and I found it unlikely they would want to fuck. Now I just say "good on you".

Imagine them as just friends on sg1 if that works for you (I want to write the story, but I've no idea which way it would go).

And on a totally unrelated note-i'm replying to comments from my mobile, which gives me key words instead of icons, and I'm having a slightly bizarre time imagining yours from just the descriptors, esp the last one (stop hugging me?)

I read one or two slash stories when they first met, and it was all wrong, but as mentioned I'm now in a state of mental and emotional flux and rather than sex with Woolsey I think I'd have J with C.


Heeee, now that amused me. Although I won't try to show you different icons each time if you can't see them anyway ... hmmmm or choose really puzzling captions *cackleglee*

I have read some very good stories where John and Woolsey are involved...

Considering your friendship with gaffsie, those are the very ones I'm referring to, I'm sure.
