Metric - Calculation Theme, a song that I'm really enjoying today. :>

Yesterday morning, while waiting for the train on the platform with about twenty people clustered around me in a big knot, I was struck by an idea for fic. The only thing I had with me was my Stargate Atlantis tie in novel. I ended up writing smut on the inside covers, leaning on my own thigh while standing up, as a few interested parties tried to peer over my shoulder discretely. Oh, zany life.

Last night, Julie and I watched Indiana Jones. I am a heathen and had never seen it before (let's not even talk about my lack of Star Wars, because I think someone will actually stone me). It was fantastic fun, though, and I now understand the Harrison Ford thing, even though I'd always gone, "Ummm," when people talked about him before. And, well, because Julie and I are...Julie and I, the conversation inevitably turned to John Sheppard.


Take a minute to breathe. Shhh, shh, it's okay. In and out.

Now, alright, John is obviously pointier in the nose and chin because he's half elf, but LOOK AT THEM. The proportions are almost exact. I'm pretty sure we don't even need to mention the personalities or the propensity for getting in and out of life threatening situations with alarming regularity. Also Marion, if you switch a few letters around, delete a few more, add some, COULD POSSIBLY BECOME MEREDITH.

So I guess my real point here is: why hasn't fandom provided me with a John that carries a whip and wears a fedora?

Oh great zombie jesus... we had this very conversation in our house at the weekend! Indy Shep would would melt my brain. I'm willing to take the risk, though...

He'd love the stunts, too ;)

I was wondering the same thing actually. To the point that as I was watching Raiders of the Lost Ark I was mentally trying to put SGA characters into the roles. Radek=Sala in my mind.

I've wondered the exact same thing many a time.

LOLZ, I just read a very ...interesting story concerning Indiana Jones and a fedora earlier to-day, but sadly, wrong fandom.

Blasphemy. I just saw it for the 543753485 time last night 'cause SpikeTV has been playing the movies every weekend recently. Also, this weekend, SciFi's gonna have all the Indiana Jones movies.

That almost made me laugh out loud. qweg9ozhre But yes, totally right about the similarities. Also, John's bug phobia = Indy's fear of snakes, y/n?

Well, I keep hearing about it, so I'm hoping one day soon, someone'll actually have the strength to do it.

Dude TOTALLY.

Wait, wait. Wait. WAIT. Did you just say you've never seen STAR WARS.

I THINK MY SOUL IS DYING.

No. But John Sheppard would totally shun you for that. His whole goal in life is to be Han Solo. AND YOU DO NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS! *cries*

Ha! [livejournal.com profile] krisdia said almost the *exact* same thing to me earlier today. It's really a crime it hasn't been written yet!

Firstly, "John is obviously pointier in the nose and chin because he's half elf"
I AM DYING.

Secondly, now I need to go watch Indiana Jones again and drooooool. I forgot that he used to be so pretty. This is like the opposite of what happened when I (mistakenly) re-watched MacGyver (since, y'know, Richard Dean Anderson is way hotter now).

Because we don't want to see John pillaging other cultures for his own personal gain? /o\

I have always thought this. They look so similar! And it would work so well!

[identity profile] equusentric.livejournal.com 2008-05-12 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
As someone who has seen Raiders of the Lost Ark so many times I've lost count, I WOULD PAY SOMEONE TO WRITE THIS!!

[identity profile] mortari.livejournal.com 2008-05-12 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh, that scene from Indiana Jones. The tight shirt, the hot sun, the hotter Harrison. YESYESYES.

*off the make Indie!Shep manips*

Oh, absolutely. When Sheppard met Todd, and was getting the life sucked out of him, the older he got, the more I thought he looked like Harrison Ford. :)

Someone really needs to write John as Indy, because I really, really want to read it. :D

I never knew there was a lack of 'Indiana John' in my life until this moment. :)
(And they really do look alike!)

[identity profile] mausi.livejournal.com 2008-05-13 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, actually, I have about a dozen pages of Temple of Doom!SGA, but I dropped it to start with the baseball fic that's gone nowhere.

I have a lifelong obsession with Indiana Jones :)

Also, don't feel bad: I've never seen Star Wars either.

WARN A PERSON. HOTNESS. GAH.

*pants*

I'm really not sure, but if you ask, it'll poof into existence. There's been a rash of Rule #34 sightings around lately.

This is probably the hottest lj post I've ever read.

[identity profile] morebliss.livejournal.com 2008-05-13 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
You *need* to see Star Wars!! Han Solo is hotter than Indiana Jones (not by much, though.)

[identity profile] drkquail.livejournal.com 2008-05-13 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
While you have never seen Star Wars, I have never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies in full. While everyone around me seems pretty excited, I'm a little 'meh' on spending $10 to see Harrison Ford explain to Shia Leboeuf, "In my day, we didn't have these fancy televisions and that crazy Rock and Roll to distract us. We had to make our own fun, with rocks and Nazis and things."

Pure curiosity, which Atlantis tie-in are you reading? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the two novels by Martha Wells, but Halcyon was awful. I couldn't make it through the second chapter, the characters were so OOC. Now I don't want to go to the trouble of ordering the others if the rest are garbage. :/

D= D= BLASPHEMOUS! *gets out stoning kit*

There seems to be a disturbing lack of faith amount of people on my flist who have not seen Star Wars. WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?!

I've had to come home from work due to feeling like the gravity had been swiched off but this! This makes me feel better!

Also, I though I was the only one who wrote smut on pubic transport (although, I carry a notebook for it. Just can't write in books)
