THIS POST IS SO PERFECT.

You hit on pretty much all of the reasons this show, and this pairing appeal to me. Those last three paragraphs particularly made me all verklempt over how much my boys love and support one another. I especially like how you highlighted what a relationship of equals they are. That there is a give and take constantly between them because to me, that is what makes a ship truly brilliant and well...shippable. When you can look to them and see all the tiny and large ways they depends on each other. When you can't imagine either character without the other.

They have a fantastic dynamic that I can't get enough of. Stargate has so many possibilities all on its own, and you add in the possibilities that the characters themselves bring, and there's so much to write and theorize about

SO MUCH THIS. THIS is what makes a fandom. A show that may technically not be perfect, (in fact, if you notice the more 'perfect' shows rarely have big fan fic fandoms because there is nothing left for the fans to imagine) but inspires the imagination and lets the viewer see all of the places the plot and characters can go.

Also, yay for all of those wonderful resources! You should post this to the McShep group on LJ.
