Improbable Off-the-Wall Wish List for the Remainder of SGA's Season Five

[greyias]

I've managed to offically wean myself off of spoielrs for the rest of the season. So to satsify that addictive, WANTNEEDNOW portion of my brain, I've concocted a list of all the things that would MAKE MY MILLENIUM if it just so happened to appear on screen. A few of them are beyond pipe-dream status, and no, you cannot judge me.

Canon confirmation on whether John or Dave is the older/younger brother.

DeanDave is OLDER! *g*

And oh god yes, road trip. It's the least they can give us.

[greyias]

DeanDave is OLDER! *g*

I told you about my tendency to waffle on that right? XD I think I've been reading too many Outcast Big Bang fics where Dave was younger because the scale has started to tip back in that direction.

It's such a minor detail, I don't know why it bugs me!

[trystings]

Nononononoooo, tip 'em back, John is younger! :D

Well, okay, maybe John isn't younger canonwise (who knows, the writers sure don't) but David ACTS older.

Also, one more for the list: Rodney winning the Nobel prize. XD

[greyias]

Nobel prize, but of course! *points up to ETA*

Nononononoooo, tip 'em back, John is younger! :D

...kay. (My willpower, it is so strong.)

David ACTS older.

That's because John is Forever Young! XD

The commentary on the season 4 DVDs by the writer and director said that Dave was older. I do think that Flanigan's body language was that of the younger brother. And I could see him leaving home if he had issues with his father but abandoning a younger brother doesn't quite seem like a John thing to do.

[trystings]

Oh, thank you! Everything about that scene in Outcast screamed John=younger brother to me and then Joe Mallozzi spoiled it all by saying he thought John was the older brother. I swear I'm not ever listening to him again; he didn't even write the episode. :)

Clarity at last! YAY. XD

ageism

[susnn]

Sometimes I think there is too much bleed through of an actor's personal data and the character he or she plays. Don't know the character's age? Well, how old is the actor? Don't know his favorite food or her favorite music? What does the actor like. In this case the actor playing Dave is younger by a year or so than Flanigan but let's face it, Flanigan doesn't look his age at all. I sometimes think Sheppard favors the stubbled look because it makes him appear at least a little more seasoned than when he's clean shaven, an important point when one is the CO of a military base in another galaxy. I tend to think of Sheppard as being younger than Flanigan anyway.
