But then there's more m-f friendships than f-f friendship, definitely, so, yeah, SGA can do men and women being friends.
Point. They can do it, and they do do it, but they don't do it equally. I mean, I love that they do the John-Rodney stuff so well, but I wouldn't be horribly opposed to more Teyla-Ronon buddy scenes too.
But friends aren't romantic, ever; there's this huge line drawn between friendship and romance.
Point to you again. I honestly, honestly cannot think of a single instance to refute this point, especially on SGA. It seemed like they were trying to skirt that line a little in season two with both Teyla and Elizabeth with John, but the romantic/UST stuff always came off rather forced to me -- but their scenes where they weren't trying to do a "Will they? Won't they?" vibe worked well. (I'm really channeling "Long Goodbye" in this example, but I know there's another instance.) It seemed though they almost dropped it in season three.
As long as you're getting sex, who cares if there's a real relationship there?
But of course :P
I'm starting to wonder if that's what really set me off about it, is that very end bit seemed to suggest that very attitude? I don't know, it was something because I'm practically a Squeeosaurus when it comes to SGA. I mean, I liked "Inquisition" for crying out loud, and just about no one liked "Inquisition".
