Michael Shanks knows canon!

[fignewton]

This is the post I thought I would never EVER make, because I'm a character fan, not an actor fan. That is, I adore Daniel Jackson. Michael Shanks is just this nice guy who plays Daniel Jackson.

But I think I just became a Michael Shanks fan, because I followed a link on my flist to his current blog post. (Be aware: possible spoilers for future eps and the movies in these posts of his, including one for tonight that was vague enough not to bother me, but might bother others.) He complains that he and Ben Browder are rarely in a scene together - tonight's episode, apparently, is a rare exception.  And then I read this line and laughed. out. loud:

Maybe it's because the TPTB feel that the audience will become confused: I'm the one wearing the glasses; he's got the southern drawl (although, he's apparently from Kansas). Go figure.

Different flist, maybe? I definitely saw a lot of references to it, including some very innovative handwaving to try and make it fit.

Probably different flist as most of mine is still geared towards Buffyverse, Firfly and Bones with the Stargate side heavily represented of Daniel/Michael Shanks fans and Daniel/Vala shippers. I believe you are the only SG1 meta person on the flist. Not to say the others don't ocasionally meta but not routinely.
