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?"?

They'd wake up with important bits missing from their anatomy. If they woke up.

*grin* Precisely. This is the guy who kept himself from being killed both by the Ministry and by Voldemort. Who's not afraid to throw a tantrum at the slightest affront, who apparently lives for revenge. And yet some writers seem to enjoy turning him into a pushover. Go figure.

But he's not evil, he's just Misunderstood! ;)
