*nods* Those are all good reasons for why it has such skeevy gender politics - but they're still there, and I know personally, I have no desire to watch SGA - my bloodpressure can't take it.

Also, I think a large part of the problem is that not only are the writers in love with Sheppard, they're in love with McKay, as well, so you have them going, 'we don't know how to deal with these women - but look over here! We have two of our favorite fantasies; the one where we're a handsome denonoir pilot and the one where we're such a genius it doesn't matter how much of an ass we are!'

And I'm being pretty critical - I don't mean to hash your squee at all. And frankly, putting up SGA's problems for Sam is completely reasonable to me.

For gods sake, I have the feeling I'm going to be watch BSG again, and lord knows I don't even have an excuse.
