I like Ronon beating Rodney out to Keller in your version of things. They have a lot more chemistry than how that played out in canon.
Absolutely. McKeller just didn't make any sense (and if I understood jo_graham's hints about the Stargate Legacy book series correctly, they decided to break it up there... it'll never count as canon canon but for me an official book series is confirmation enough ;)) and I just can't bring myself to accept that part of canon. But yeah... the whole thing could have been pretty funny with Jen and Ronon... I think I'll try to find a point in the PAS-verse where I pay a little more attention to them again.
Agreed on John as general EXCEPT he's obviously more of a career soldier and patriotic than anyone except miss_porcupine gives him credit for to make more than twenty years and through some awful treatment
Mh, okay, good point. However, I had the feeling that he chose the Air Force because above all they would let him fly (or do some 'real' soldiering, respectively) and I'm not sure if he could handle (and want) the transition from flying jumpers and F-302's to flying a desk, even if it was what he had to do to protect his people and essentially 'his' city (because that actually was a good point as well).
Then gratefully retiring to become the civilian head/consultant of Atlantis in Pegasus as soon as he's held the post long enough for Lorne to take it from him (5-6 years since Lorne's at least that behind him in the promotion cycle).
That, however, is something I can agree on. Maybe John would be willing to hold a position beyond Colonel just long enough until someone he trusted was there to succeed him. Kind of like "Better me having to fly a desk than some idiot stepping up and making a mess of things." ;)
And now I want to read a story with Sam as the head of Homeworld Security (because that? Awesome idea!). Aw, dangit ;)
