I may have to abandon the Corin thunk thread at GW

[switch842]

Cos apparently everyone over there "takes glee" (direct quote) in Daniel dying in Meridian. WTF people? Seriously... Ugh. I know some people don't like Daniel (how, I have no idea), but to take glee in his characters death? Come on people, that's just a bit much. And it's a Jonas thunk thread not a Daniel bashing thread. Stupid people....

Good idea, hun. Even if they're just characters, promoting hate shouldn't be tolerated.

Well, said. :-)

:) Thanks. I may hate Jack/Sam ship with a vengeance, but I'm not about to bash Sam just because I slash Jack/Daniel--and I'm not about to bash AT either. Which brings me to the other intense dislike I have toward people who bash Daniel, Sam, or Jonas: They turn it against the actor, too. I mean, *come on*, people, get your heads out of your asses.

I'm totally with you on that. Jack/Sam is just never gonna happen and should never happen. However, that has never affected my opinion of Sam. I will admit in later seasons I didn't really like what TPTB did with her (Gemini, anyone??), but that's an issue with them. Not Sam or Amanda. I love Amanda. I think she's absolutely fantastic. But bashing her character? Ugh, no.

Exactly. There are some episodes I simply can't tolerate watching again because they're so badly characterized. Doesn't mean I'll forever hate the character. What I especially don't like is bashing just because the character is "in the way" of the greatest love story ever told. *barf* I've run across a lot of Daniel haters who hate him *only* because he's got so much chemistry with Jack and is therefore a threat to the Wonderful World of Jack and Sam. *sighs*

Those Sam/Jack shippers are seriously insane. I DO NOT get it. It's a TV SHOW. These aren't real people. Ugh.

But, if we ever wish to rebut the shippers, there is a very convincing argument for why J/S is bad. In every AU we've seen where Sam and Jack are together, the world gets blown up by the Goa'uld. I don't know about you, but I really don't want to see that happen. LOL

The J/S Horsewomen especially. I mean, just, WOW.

LOL I can refute the J/S ad nauseam, but my main argument is always: "Direct Chain of Command" and "Court Martial". ;) ETA: And she'd be the one bounced, not him. That is a nastily sexist world.

Horsewomen??

The Jack and Sam Horsewomen. A community of particularly nasty shippers who have a serious hatred for Daniel. The slash part of me explained it as their recognition as Daniel as a rival, and therefore a threat. I find that amusing, because they denounced SG-1 slash so vehemently, yet they considered Daniel a threat. Go figure. ;)
