Birthday Party - The Second Coming

[wiseheart]

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

While I have a certain appreciation for that convention, I do also find
it can be very interesting to deal with the other side and what their
justifications are. That doesn't necessarily mean that 'our heroes' are
wrong, just that the other side perhaps aren't either.

Do let me know if you do write anything in this vein; I would be very
interested to read it!

*nods* I really prefer things that aren't totally right or wrong, but
deal with people having different adjendas, priorities and beliefs... but
books seem to be much better for that than tv.

I will :)

Then I had my obligatory rant against macho pilots:

God I so hated the babe of the week falling for Sheppard! It's such a boring cliché - it was one with Kirk already, and going through Riker, Dylan Hunt, Sheppard and half a dozen clichéd character didn't help it at all.

And jenn_calaelen agreed:

I agree! Too many subplots of too many shows involve random
'relationships' of that sort!

solanpolarn about the same topic:

I did like that one episode were there was a whole team of just women --
competent women in all sorts of different roles -- and none of them fell
for Sheppard at all. Of course I don't think we ever saw that team
again...
