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?"?

Sure they are. You just have to rebuild their psyche, redesign their bodies, give them an abusive and/or miserable and/or lonely childhood, and then spindle and mutilate to taste. Add water, stir, leave in a warm place to fester for at least twenty four hours, and...

Tada!

Hmm.

Doesn't look much like the originals any more. But that's okay. It's only *fiction*.

I knew I was doing something wrong! ;)
