I would have never thought...

... that I would ever say it but! I just watched SG-1's episode The Pegasus Project - you know, the Xover episode with SGA - and I must say that I like the chemistry among the SGA characters better than among the SG-1's members. Just a year ago, I would have considered such a statement sacrilegious but now...

The SG-1 team is great, they have a nice relationship but... When you look at the SGA team, they all have such curious quirks: Sheppard is a closeted math geek, McKay can come up with the most ingenious plans under the threat of imminent death, Ronon can be whiny like a five-year-old when faced with a decision he doesn't like and Teyla is very manipulative when she needs to be. And they just... click!

On SG-1, Jack was portrayed as too dumb, never understanding anything science-related, which kinda bothered me after a while. Sam Carter was always right, just always. Teal'c... well, Teal'c was there. Only Daniel was a truly fascinating character who was allowed to do huge mistakes. Don't get me wrong, I loved them to pieces and they were all very lovable but SGA one-upped them, definitely.

Maybe it's because of the sorta island mentality of the series that everything feels more... intimate, with the city in the middle of an ocean and Earth light-years away...

Nope, not yet. I was thanking you for thinking of me and rec'ing me stuff :) Although I mostly read SGA fics these days, there are so many of them that it's always great when someone recs you a fic that they think you might enjoy :)
