A brief aside...

[graculus]

Blair Sandburg is not, by any stretch of the imagination, 'exotic'.

Likewise Daniel Jackson is not 'willowy' or 'frail' or anything similar. At no point in the show's run (or even in the movie) could he be accurately described that way.

Ditto for Ezra Standish.

And let's not get started on the whole subject of competent, self-sufficient individuals bursting into tears at the slightest opportunity (be it running out of coffee, stubbing their toe, their favourite pot plant dying...).

Doesn't reading something like that just make you want to go "Have you actually *seen* the show?"?

"Blair Sandburg is not, by any stretch of the imagination, 'exotic'."

Are you sure? I mean, what about his... no. How about... nope. And his... er, no. Okay, fine. He's damn sexy, though.

I can make him willowy if I press that "resize screen" button on my remote. Of course, everyone else gets willowy too, but still. He is Is IS!

;-P

Oh, and can we add "young archaeologist" to the list of things Daniel is not. He was 30 in the movie. He's 38/39 now. He and Sam could well be called middle-aged.

Of course, watching some of the most recent Stargate episodes makes me want to ask the *show*'s writers if they've seen the show, let alone the poor deluded fic writers.

Though my dictionary does define exotic as 'having a strange or bizarre allure, beauty or quality', so perhaps I'm wrong! ;)

Dare you to go post on a certain forum about how Sam is 'middle-aged'... ;)

I think someone already has. And she is. She certainly looks it, these days, too. But that's okay - it adds realism. Perhaps it also explains her mid-life crisis.
