summer is for lounging and memes

Ganked from laurus_nobilis - and most of you know my fandoms. If you're uncertain about one, just ask!

1. Comment in this post with a pairing, a character, or a threesome.

2. I shall write you back a paragraph explaining what I think about it (good, bad, indifferent) and why.

3. Let's discuss / argue / CAPSLOCK at each other about it! I only ask that you don't get insulted, angry, mean, or stupid.

I missed most of the season with Weir in SG:1, so I can only comment on SG:A Weir.

Overall, I haven't been that impressed with her character - to me, she seems rather flat and one dimensional. I did enjoy her 'action-y' bit in the Return Part II, but otherwise, she really doesn't stand out to me. I'm kinda picky about my leaders - I love Hammond but can't stand Landry, so maybe my ambivalence stems from that.

I know you'll probably hate to hear this, but I did like her 'shippy' bits with O'Neill this past season - it was a rather sweet chemistry they had.

My least favorite moment with her was when she authorized the torture of one of the crew. The issue of torture in Stargate is really tetchy with me, and this was one of the worst examples, how she could do this so callously, to me, and with what seemed like no regret.

Wow, it's interesting that many of our feelings overlap.

Personally, I liked Weir when Jessica Steen (the blonde) played her. I though Steen gave Weir more OOMF of character that Higginson's Weir lacks. The thing is, I know Torri Higginson is a cool, funny, charismatic person because I've seen plenty of behind the scenes stuff but I don't get why that doesn't transfer at all to her Weir.

I <3 Hammond too. Probably more than is healthy, but that's the truth.

I'm okay with the shippy bits, but that's mostly because I know she has her own series ^_^ I did think they were sweet - I love the way the hug caught him off guard (still Sam/Jack til the death though!).

Honestly, my favorite part of her in three seasons' worth of material is the Season 2 ep "The Long Goodbye" where someone else takes control of Weir's body. And I agree with the torture thing - that doesn't seem very in character for Weir, even under desperate circumstances.
