Why can no one get me a space fighter?!?!?

[sadiane]

- PANIC! AT THE DISCO'S FALL TOUR! I'm insane. I think I can manage the Sacramento date without cleaning out my savings, missing any bill payments, or getting in trouble with my job. Therefore, I think I'm going! Still waiting to see what the ticket packages look like before I book flights and hotel, but I've never been to Sacramento and the venue

I can't say I've ever forgotten that we don't have space fighters, but we should, right? I would be okay with fewer minds concentrating on making tiny, shiny cell phones and more of them on refining manned space flight. Like that t-shirt that says something about the fact that we were promised flying cars.

(As much love as I had for SG-1, I am pretty useless on the Daniel rec front. Something about... and now I can't even remember his name, the dude who plays him, bugs me. But I support your love, in the nonspecific not-being-helpful sense! I think troyswann wrote Jack/Daniel and maybe some gen, but I've never read any of it.)

I occasionally have overinvestment in FICTION issues. Once upon a time, I was watching the actualfax news, and they had actualfax President George W. Bush saying something obnoxious, and I had a moment when I realized that The West Wing's President Bartlett wasn't the REAL PRESIDENT. And then I was sad.

Extra points: I was working on a degree in Political Science at the time!

(DANIEL: I've got a bit of a bulletproof thing for ANGSTY and DAMAGED, especially when paired with OVERLY EARNEST. Though I do have a fondness for CAM that the rest of the fandom doesn't seem to understand)

Cam is my favorite as long as I avoid any and all interviews with actual Ben Browder. He was sort of a stupid puppy while simultaneously getting most of the good angst in his seasons, and since he is apparently the only person with actual friends and family to ever pass through the SGC, there was lots of excellent secret-keeping fodder. (The episode, which was probably a glorified clip show, IDEK? with his terminally ill friend, OMG.)

I remember an ep in season 9, somewhere, where Vala takes over Daniel's body and tells everyone what happened to her on the Ori planet, and Cam was blinking back tears, and THAT MOMENT, RIGHT THERE. Cam Mitchell, I love you forever. And some moment in Continuum, where he's just so LONELY.

OTOH, Browder is the world's most hilariously faily reader of audiobooks. And Micheal Shanks was actually VERY GOOD in all of the SG-1 audio dramas and the novel he audiobooked.

Ben strikes me as someone who doesn't enjoy reading. (Or thinking, for the most part. But he must have to think to act and direct, so IDK.) So the idea of someone paying him to read aloud is hilarious to me. I can imagine Shanks being good at it.
