JoeMallozzi said:And there is one other alternative, one that I’d originally envisioned exploring when I was first spinning the story that would eventually become Remnants: John’s ex-wife, Nancy. In a very early version of the story, Nancy, who we have established works for Homeworld Security, is appointed to review Woolsey’s probationary record. Finally privy to the secrets her ex-husband had to keep from her all those years, she is actually able to empathize and understand him a little better. Of course, with better understanding complications arise… No idea where it would have gone, but I imagined it playing out as part of an extended episode arc., Wraithfodder said:Ah, truly sucks that Sheppard didn’t get this kind of development, as five years into the show, he’s still pretty much a mystery. But that would also get in the way of Rodney having some sex (and he’s had more relationships, etc. than anyone else on the show).
I think JoeF should be thanking his lucky stars that he didn't get that kind of development. I don't want to see any of them having relationships. Sure, a mention here or there in passing that they are involved with someone, but focusing on a relationship? It spells death. Boring. If it had been Sheppard and Keller, or Beckett and Keller or Ronon and Keller, I think the outcry would've been the same....and you can tell by reading JasonM's interviews that he's happy to have dodged that bullet. Speaking only for myself, I don't want to see the focus of a major part of this show going into the love life of two of its characters. Team. Team. Team. I miss it. The lack of it caused the show to go into the gutter---in my opinion---these past couple of seasons. It's heartbreaking really.
