I'm thankful that I'm writing again!

Edited to correct a few mistakes that were driving me crazy.

Hello, all; I hope you had a wonderful and delicious Thanksgiving Day (assuming you are in the USA; if you are not, I still hope you had a great day.)

The other day,

My fanon, let me show you it!

I'm so pleased you liked it, and thank you for the inspiration!

1. I don't know why they never addressed the language thing on the show, it's not difficult to hand-wave, it's like they didn't feel they had to put in the effort. Ce n'est-pas difficile! God bless Farscape and its language-bearing microbes (that live on your brain stem.)

5. In my fanon, John is very good at every aspect of his job, he just makes it *look* easy -- he cultivates the slacker rep but gets the job done, and done well. I can't see Elizabeth, the IOA, and the SGC letting him get away with incompetence; in fact, the place would fall apart if he really was a slacker. His is not a very forgiving job! And I have so much love for the gentleman general, General Hammond. Only he can understand John's pain!

7. Carter's respect for Sheppard is canonical, I'm happy to say, not just in my fanon! I only wish they'd had an adventure together! But the one thing I see about Sheppard is that over the course of the show, he makes everyone he touches *better*. Carter was written as a really crappy leader on SG-1, but by the end of her tenure on SGA, she looked like a natural. I'm sure they didn't mean to make it look like Sheppard had caused that transformation, but that's what I got from it.

10. There's an extra scene on the Reunion DVD -- Ronon's Satedan buddies blow his cool barbarian rep and tell the team he wrote poetry, sang to the ladies, and played an instrument! But the thing about Ronon is that he is good at compromise -- I think he'd figure out a way to balance his past with his present and future. BTW, in the poem, Sheppard is compared to the six-year-old Ronon on his first boar hunt and Ronon writes about how he's taken on the teaching role, like his grandfather.

Bonus: I had a long, involved story in mind about the team going to Eureka to convince Rodney to come home... this was a more elegant solution!

1. If only the Stargate folks had been smart enough to shoot their cast full of translator microbes or make some kind of TARDIS excuse (which is still full of holes, at least on the new series where the TARDIS translates everything but Welsh). Instead they seem to legitimately believe everyone in the universe speaks English. Except for the Goa'uld. And the Ancients. *rolls eyes*

5. I love the idea that John makes things look easy. Competency is hot.
