wisdomeagleJohn Burke on the Sox:
The Yankees are Lucy Van Pelt. The Red Sox are Charlie Brown. They keep holding the football, and we keep trying to kick it. And they pull it away.
And we fans keep falling for it. Every. Single. Time.
I love John Burke.

[spoilers through Endgame like whoa. One star through four stars, with commentary]
Jack/Sam - * - Because there is no option for less than one star.
Jack/Daniel - **** - The OTP of all time. Spacemonkey. Nuff said.
Jack/Teal'c - *** - Hand on cheek in "Lost City" ! So much alpha. So much respect. So much love. So dark and brooding. Never, ever done well in fic. Done so well in canon.
Jack/Jonas - * - Jonas. Yuck.
Jack/Maybourne - **** - Theirhateissocanon. They need each other. Maybourne is so in love with Jack he might even go clean for him. Not. It's the Giles/Ethan of Stargate.
Jack/Paul - * - Davis doesn't turn my crank.
Jack/Janet - ** - Slightly more points than Daniel/Janet, but still, not teh_sex. Usually written too sappy for my taste.
Jack/Sara - *** - Their love used to be.
Daniel/Sam - **** - Four stars. Sexy. Sweet. Canon. Just let them frell and get it over with.
Daniel/Teal'c - ** - Too much issues. *weepz*
Daniel/Jonas - ** - Maybe one and a half stars. 'Cos I'm strangely fascinated with Jonas being strangely fascinated with Daniel. Not reciprocal, though.
Daniel/Janet - * - Usually accompanied by teh eval ship.
Daniel/Paul - * - Only Anais can make it work.
Daniel/Sha're - **** - Dammit, you have no idea how few of these I have to change from Meg's. This love is canon, and he still loves her so ridiculously lots.
Daniel/Sarah - ** - Canon gets it points, but Sarah's a bitch.
Daniel/Kera\Linnea - ** - They tried. And I sort of like Ke'ra. I like Sam/Linnea better, though. Linnea should have kidnapped Sam at the end of "Prisoners" and they could have had evil sciency fun together. *ahem* As rebounds go, it could have been worse.
Sam/Catherine - **** - All sciency and sweet and womanly and May/December. I cannot love it any more.
Sam/Cassie - *** - Cassie already has a huge, huge crush on Sam. As she gets older, it will become more. Sam needs to adapt to thinking of Cassie as sexual, though.
Sam/Teal'c - ** - Sweet, mostly friendship, often just used cos Everyone Needs Someone To Love.
Sam/Janet - *** - I like it, but I have issues with Janet 'shipped with anyone.
Sam/Jonas - * - Ew, Jonas.
Sam/Pete - *** - Made me squee. Interferes with teh eval het. :)
Sam/Maybourne - ** - But he's in love with Jack. *confused*
Teal'c/Ishta - * - Two words. Mary. Sue.
Teal'c/Janet - * - Just... what?
Teal'c/Nyan - ** - Uh?
[now I add some SG-1 pairings]
Jack/Hammond - *** - CO and comfort and first names and old soldiers and world weariness. And shiny shoes.
Sam/Hammond - *** - Father/daughter and commanding officer and power and comfort and Hammond is in love with her and canon hugs and kisses! C'mon!
OT4 - **** - If "Endgame" and Jack angsting over the decision whether to save them or not didn't convince you, you can't be convinced. Team forever.
[and back to Meg's list]
McKay/Weir - **** - Civilians in love. It's so romantic, it's almost cheesy.
McKay/Sheppard - * - Maybe a star and a half. Unrequited, 'cos McKay is so very bisexual. But this is not the new J/D.
McKay/Ford - * - Don't see it.
McKay/Teyla - * - Nope.
McKay/Beckett - *** - I go back and forth.
McKay/Zelenka - *** - Cute and snarky and SCIENCE TWINS. Whee.
Sheppard/Weir - * - Even more squick-some than Jack/Sam, if such a thing be possible.
Sheppard/Ford - **** - "Because Ford is his fanboy and this could go Scorpy/Braca real fast." --sage_theory. Need I say more?
Sheppard/Teyla - ** - Prevents the evil yuckiness of Sheppard/Weir.
Sheppard/Beckett - * - Ew. Sheppard
Weir/Ford - * - I got nothing.
Weir/Teyla - * - No. Weir/Sam. Still.
Weir/Beckett - ** - Well, they call each other by their first names?
Ford/Beckett - * - Uh?
Ford/Teyla - *** - It's like the Sam/Daniel of Atlantis. Their love is all about Sheppard.
Teyla/Beckett - * - Meh.
[and now, for something completely different. Farscape]
John/Aeryn - *** - Three and a half, maybe. Yes, it is TEH CANON HET... but that's exactly it. Since when do I ship TEH CANON HET? Still, it is so frelling... beautiful, tragic, flawed, failed. When done right...
Chiana/D'Argo - **** - The canon pairing of choice. Sexy and flawed and odd but somehow it just works.
Zhaan/Stark - *** - Canon. Pretty. Theirloveissoshiny.
D'Argo/Jool - ** - Interferes with OTP. Makes no sense. Love triangle is pastede on yay! She really isn't right for him. He needs someone who can stand up to him better.
Chiana/Jool - *** - Almost-canon femslash. If they didn't have D'Argo between them, they'd be frelling by day three.
John/Zhaan - *** - Oddly beautiful. Almost platonic, yet somehow transcends all their other relationships.
D'Argo/Zhaan - ** - Eh.
Zhaan/Aeryn. - **** Beautiful, mature adults from very different backgrounds with a strange, ethereal love for each other.
D'Argo/Aeryn - ** - Oddly compelling warrior bonds.
D'Argo/John - ** - Cute, but not really in a serious way.
John/Chiana - ** - Sweet friendship. Lousy 'ship.
Aeryn/Pilot - *** - Back before Aeryn became John's love-monkey, when she still had her own arc.
Aeryn/Crais - ** - As it is in canon, unrequited.
Aeryn/Chiana - * - Eh.
John/Scorpius - **** - Oh hells yes. Also, canon.
Scorpius/Aeryn - *** - In another life.
Scorpius/Sikozu - * - Fuck with the OTP, why don't you?
Braca/Grayza - * - Maybe a half a star because Braca's a little bitch-slave, but still. OTP.
Scorpius/Braca - ****....************ - Ahem. Need I say more?
I watched "What Was Lost" last night. I typed out this whole summary, but then my computer crashed. So I'll summarize the summary.
[spoilers for WWL]
Braca: *licks Grayza*
Ari: *WEEPS FOR THE OTP*
D'Argo: *kisses Jool*
Ari: *commits ritual suicide in honor of OTP*
Okay. Here's the dealio. The girlfriendly one will be here in two hours. At that point, I will go insane, and we will all experience the squee heard 'round the world. If there's anything left of the East Coast, I'll write the shell for the Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars spoiler-beyond-spoilerish post. At around, oh, 8:30, we'll go steal the lounge for the geekier good. We'll come back at three, after the last showing, and I will post initial reactions, with everything even remotely spoilerish behind a big, nasty cut tag.
I am not a spoiler-phobe. Really.
Then, excepting the equally anal part 2 spoiler post, I'll quite likely be offline for most of the week, as the girlfriendly one will be here.
But don't hold me to that.
The Yankees are Lucy Van Pelt. The Red Sox are Charlie Brown. They keep holding the football, and we keep trying to kick it. And they pull it away.
And we fans keep falling for it. Every. Single. Time.
I love John Burke.
