SG:1 and Atlantis seemed dedicated this week to wildly OOC and exceedingly stupid behaviour from the Atlantis crew.



In The Pegasus Project we get to see Rodney being a wanker. Fair enough, we see it quite a bit. But what seriously jarred with me is the scene where John makes a point of mentioning his lemon allergy.

"That's why I carry one of these with me all the time"

ooo? I perk up. An epi-pen? Is this going to be confirmation of fanon?

No, it's a fucking lemon.

I'm sorry. That's just not funny. No way in fucking hell. Not from a joke view point or a characterisation one. Maybe I'm getting too much into it, but point blank people serious food allergies are not something you play with. I've been on both sides of that particular fence. Thankfully for me the worst that happens is I turn into the smiling human vomit cannon, but my younger sister (the ever-illustrious moonmip) is lethally allergic to eggs. I mean contact-allergic. Just being exposed on her bare skin can kill her.

Do I carry around an egg and make smartarse jokes while she taunts me with orange products? Fuck no. It means watching every damn thing. It means checking checking ingredients lists, it means triple washing anything that's been anywhere NEAR the food product in question and even then warning in advance not to use. Evidenly in SG-writer land it means taunting people with a fucking lethal object. Why the fuck not! It ties in with threatening to shoot him in a professional bloody meeting. What really pisses me off is the fact he goes and gives a complete fucking random stranger that lemon to threaten Rodney with. Words fail and rage rises.

GAHHHH

And then we have Irresistible. From one pov it was a crack!fic televised. I'm surprised the fanfic writers haven't done it already. But again, from a professional viewpoint...what the fuck?

Carson goes there without backup? Especially after various threatening behaviour from Lucius' people? Nice way to lose your fucking CMO, idiots. And completely in violation of all previously established protocol. It would have been very easy to bring back some stoned marines with him.

The women all swoon and the men all treat him like a hero. Jesus christ, we're stuck in a 17 year old nerd's fantasy. I did however, like Weir's initial reaction to him getting into her personal space - she confronts him with the fact his behaviour is unacceptable (in a diplomatic manner, a bit wishy washy for my tastes, but still fairly nice) and then gets the fuck away from him.

Not much to say apart from "turn off your brain and it's a good piece of blabble" (I'll probably come up with more when my brain is working) but next week better get their thumbs out of their arses and stop making them look like a fucking monkey house.

Fuckwits. I remember being asked once in hospital if I had any allergies and a nurse laughing when I said 'oranges'. The sister pointed out that as the product they had planned to use on me contained extract of orange, there was nothing to laugh at.

With OH it is penicillin, which is potentially lethal, and as you say, no joke (he has to carry a medical alert tag).

it honestly boggles me how fucking flippant people are about this shit. You're either overreacting, a freak, or they're morbidly curious and tempted to dose you just to see what fucking happens.

A co-worker of mine with some pretty nasty health problems (Jos, I may have spoken about him on occasion - mostly threatening to flatten his wheelchair tires) was honestly boggled when I specifically asked him about his allergies to cater around them at a party. "Don't have to put yourself out, don't worry about it..." took me three fucking weeks to convince him I was serious, and wasn't putting myself out because I've spent my whole fuckin' life accomodating moonmip's allergies to every bloody thing on the face of the planet. (Dairy, fluff, peanuts, eggs, red foood dye, you name it, she was allergic to it...) When you consider the alternative is a slow and rather unpleasant death, that's just..sad.

fyi I've added you. I don't expect to be added back or any of that netiquette shite, but feel free.

*adds back* I hope you've had a good read through and realised the complete and utterly insane levels of wankerosity this thing hits... :P
