Yeah, that would be Spanky. I think Sparky also gave rise to Snarky (McKay/Zelenka), but I don't know if that was a one-time joke or if it actually caught on. It's not my corner of fandom anyway. *shrugs*

I understand. I have to admit that I never really warmed up to Elizabeth, but it was shameful the way TPTB treated Torri. And as for feeling protective of your favourite; I feel the same way about John (I love him lots, in all his fucked up glory), which is why season 5 is hurting me in my soul. :/

Hope you keep on enjoying Sanctuary! As for me, I'll stay with SGA to the [very] bitter end. ;)
