this isn't a recap or review, just a discussion of one scene

[cimorene]

isilya: his attempted wraith seduction!
isilya: I'd be VERY GRATEFUL
cim: oh god. ahahaha
cim: "hmm, people swear this works on girls too..."
cim: "how DO you talk to girls anyway?"
wax_jism: he's so not smooth!
isilya: you can't just offer to blow them!
wax_jism: <3
cim: his come-on even sounds like a come-on you'd use on guys
isilya: right
cim: something about making it worth her while?
isilya: if he was a GIRL and the captor was  BOY
isilya: that would make much more sense in the traditional way
isilya: because you don't offer to have sex with a girl as a favour to the GIRL
cim: he's like, "how do i make my come-hither body language more manly and less swishy?  i know... i'll unbutton my shirt."
isilya: men spend their whole lives trying to get sex out of girls!
cim: yes!
isilya: " "how do i make my come-hither body language more manly and less swishy?  i know... i'll unbutton my shirt.""
isilya: HAHAHAAHAHA
isilya: I choked on my tea!

God, he was so fey. And so obvious, I'm starting to think more and more that for all his good looks, Sheppard has worse picking up skills than McKay.

And doing the MENSA test was just so he could pick up geeks.

oh, it SO was.

and yeah, hm, although it's not like mckay is very smooth either. which just makes it sadder that sheppard is even less smooth.

I need to watch with you guys. I have like, anti "slash goggles" and I need my friends around to point things out to me and hit me over the head with them.

But much love for poor Shep in that scene. He's not very good at being charming in an intentionally manipulative kind of way.

hee, that could be fun.

yeah, i love watching his painful failures to be smoove--it's so endearing, it's like a little kid mispronouncing words or something. and how funny was it that you could SEE him thinking, "okay, um, this is where i should try to charm her. right. charm. um..."
