I've stumbled across more than a few comments about JF's limited acting ability re his Shep role. Had the impression it was the general view. Pleased to hear that it's not.
I see the show's limitations as lying very much with the writing and not with the actors. So right to say "subtlety is not exactly a keypoint on the show's writing".
The quality of fanfic writing in the SGA fandom is so good that it often leaves the show's writing for dead in terms of plot and character development and interaction - frostfire's work being an example of the phenomenon. It would be such fun to see this evilJohn storyline on the show, because it does dovetail with canonJohn so perfectly. (Although he'd have to turn out to be a clone or something so ourheroJohn was restored to us.)
