Well, to each their own.
I loved Rodney, i loved John, and i loved them together on the show.

Rodney/John fanfic is a million times better, though, since we get to avoid a lot of the horrible 'white man the colonizer' crap.

Try a ficlet by Astolat, they have some amazing j/r stuff, some of it just short things. Might give you an idea of why people liked the ship so much.

I did, and my mileage did vary, even in Astolat's extremely capable hands. Canon Rodney was too much of a douchebaggy man-child for my taste, and so if he's likeable in a fic, even the best fanfic, he feels much too OOC to me.

I do like John, though.

Hey, that's all you can do!

There was stuff about Rodney i really, really liked on the show, and he had his moments of whimsy, and his moments of pathos, and his moments of courage and self-sacrifice.

The rest i put down to bad writing (as we all must do, so often), and just got on with it. :D

Re: OP

... yeah I've done that, though not in this case.

For me, I didn't put down the things I didn't like about Rodney — among them his his near-constant belittlement of Zelenka and his nearly-constant self-absorption — to bad writing; I took it as good writing making deliberate choices to create a character with a fairly large helping of unlikeable qualities.

Re: OP

[tabaqui]

Sometimes it was, and sometimes it wasn't. It was bad writing, to me, when they backtracked on Rodney (or anyone) and took away character growth.

Just can't seem to get away from that.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

If it was a deliberate choice to freeze the character and not allow him any growth, then yeah, I agree that was a poor judgment call by TPTB.

(I mean, hell, WOOLSEY had more character development than Rodney! Sheesh!)

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Da.

Not meaning to be antagonistic but how is it ‘bad writing’ if it’s consistent across the show? That just makes it his characterisation then surely?

Re: OP

[tabaqui]

It's bad when it's unrealistic for what the character has done or gone through or learned. When they 'forget' about character growth so they can advance plot. I don't think i've come across a single show that hasn't done that at least once.
