seriously, way too much of this post is about hair

[thingswithwings]

guys, I know we're all superexcited about SGA premiering again in six weeks, except for, I'm NOT superexcited about it. Or, I mean, I am - because yay for my weird gay show, plus we know ahead of time that Sheppard's going to be on his knees again, so that's nice - but I don't want it to be so soon

I feel the same way about haitus fic! (And hair, actually.) I have all these WiPs that I want to finish but there's no TIME. I'll hardly write a couple of paragraphs in six weeks! (Unless, apparently, I discover there are three days til a deadline and I have nothing and end up writing 11k words, apparently.) Plus, when Scroll was here we were talking about all the TWW stories we always talk about writing and now I've started two of them! I can't write across two fandoms at the same time, it will be madness! Why can't teevee happen on MY schedule?

[thingswithwings]

I knooooooooooow. stupid teevee. the summer is the traditional time of fic-writing! I don't have time for new canon, srsly.

Can you link me to pictures of Jason's non-dread hair? I just want to see how pretty he looks. I do not want to think about wigs and racism. LA LA LA. Go now, write super-hot hand-touching depressing breakout hits! I will be its biggest fan.

[thingswithwings]

there's a picture of him with non-dread hair at the article that is about how the network vetoed him having non-dread hair: the dreads stay put. He's so pretty with the shortish coolguy hair that I almost cannot deal.

[toft_froggy]

Oh my GOD, he's such an adorable drama student with his Johnny Depp glasses. I love that he is Lisa Bonet's babydaddy. It's like, WAY TO GO, LISA BONET!

Great, now I just spent fifteen minutes looking for pictures of Jason's hair, and have discovered that he does Buddhist Studies, likes meditating to find his inner strength, and hosted Miss Teen Hawaii 1999.

[pocky_slash]

and hosted Miss Teen Hawaii 1999.

Um, just so you know, this is basically the greatest thing I've ever heard.

[toft_froggy]

I know. He was also Hawaii's Top Model 1999, but I think the Miss Teen Hawaii thing is more hilarious. I think there needs to be an AU where they all get declassified and go to Earth and then Ronon gets a career modelling jeans and judging modelling contests, and John and Rodney spend all their time being bewildered and getting drunk and eating popcorn and jerking each other off on the couch while watching Ronon on Dancing With The Stars.

I WOULD SO READ THAT FIC AND SUBSCRIBE TO ITS AWESOME NEWSLETTER!!

Rachel's wig kinda pisses me off, because I also can't think of a single non-racist reason why she should have to wear one. At least her current one isn't quite as bad as what she started with.

I mourn the hotness we are missing out on:

[thingswithwings]

oh god. Rachel is approximately 732 times hotter with her own hair, I cannot ever believe it. Actually, the first time I saw a picture of her at an awards ceremony or something, I was like, who's the hot chick standing next to David Hewlett?

I swear, the "why does she have to wear a wig" question is currently the question I would ask at a lame Q&A session with the producers. Because I honestly would like to hear their rationale for it.

[toft_froggy]

I don't think I've ever seen her with her own hair! She's so *gorgeous*!

[thingswithwings]

yes! who knew!

[amberlynne]

I thought they were going to just have Jason wear the wig until they could write his hair being cut into the story? Joe M. said something to that on his blog, that they were leaving it up to Jason about which direction he wanted to go.

[thingswithwings]

that's not what I heard: this is the latest news, as far as I know. They're no longer writing the haircutting scene into the story. Because the NETWORK apparently stepped in. In order to make changes at the hairstyling level. The network. ARGH.

[amberlynne]

Pardon me for a second but that's fucking retarded. I mean, I know that (dating myself here) Teri Hatcher got a lot of shit when she cut her bob when she was playing Lois Lane, but this isn't like a stylistic choice. Dude's neck gets fucked up! Man, SciFi is so weird. They care about really dumb things and pay no attention to important shit. *shakes head*

[thingswithwings]

It is completely fucked up. I hate them all like woah. How is it that I love the show so much and completely despise 80% of the people who make it? But, yeah. There is clearly an "image" of Ronon that the network prefers, and it includes dreadlocks. I feel so bad for Jason with his sore neck! Also I can't imagine how gross that dread-wig must be.

ps, I'd prefer it if you didn't use the word retarded like that. thanks!
