taleyaSG: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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.
