Jason Momoa of Stargate Atlantis is featured on page 10 of the U.S. June 23rd TV GUIDE on 'top 10 breaking news.' However, most of us know that Jason .... oh, hmm, just in case, under the cut!

Yes, he cut his dreads but his head and neck were hurting from the weight of the dreads. He added that all that hair kept him from wearing a bike helmet and kept ruining his balance on a surfboard. Eek! but SciFi execs didn't want him to cut it so now he's got a wig.

*sigh* We're talking about a character on a TV show played by an actor who is a) a person of color and b) until very recently, wore dredlocks all the time, on and off set.

What you're saying is that the fact that a character has dreads signifies that they're alien. I'm trying to figure out why a character with a hairstyle that's common on earth is automatically classed as alien because of that hairstyle. That definition implies that "not white middle-class American = alien".

No, that's not what I'm saying, and if you truly want to know why Ronon has dreads, or not, then you need to ask the SciFi execs and the SGA producers. And alien, in this show, means, anybody who doesn't come from planet Earth.., although to Ronon, et. al, Shep and his people are the aliens.

Okay, clearly, I'm not getting this across. But it's driving my blood pressure up, so...yeah.
