amusing for reasons totally unrelated to the point
Apparently there is a Stargate kerfluffle about characters who may or may not be canonically gay. I'm really not tied into fandom discussions, but it seemed worth digging into a little.
It turns out, having dug, that I... really don't care. I mean, I care in the sense that I care that people might be writing narrowminded or wrongheaded things, but I really don't care about SGA canon. But I went to read Joe Mallozzi's blog entry about it anyway. Well, I skimmed it at least. The post is about romantic relationships, and lack thereof and shipping and whatever.
This was my favorite part (in emphasis, mine):
"As for Sheppard - I consider him an even bigger loner than Ronon, an incredibly tough nut to crack. If anyone was going to do it, I don’t think it would be someone who just walked into his life. Rather it would have to be someone he knew (and knew him well in turn), someone he had a history with. Teyla would have been a possibility but, alas, she has settled down with the babysitter of her child - Kanaan."
