Richard Woolsey Squee!
Jan. 14th, 2011 10:27 pmRecently, I've really taken to Richard Woolsey. When they first brought him on the show I remember thinking WTF? First they kill off Elizabeth and then they replace Sam with a stuffy bureaucrat?
But the more I watch S5, the more I like him. Or I just got older and wiser :-D He's cool. Stuffy and a little awkward until they put him in his element as a negotiator and a lawyer. And dramaturgically he works much better than Sam ever did (and I love Sam, I really do!).
I love fics where Woolsey is actually liked and respected by the rest of the command staff. He's cool. And Picardo does a great job acting.
So, a tiny squee for Woolsey!!

And I admit, I really would love to see Woolsey/Teyla fic (that isn't crack), working up some of that mutual negotiator respect while kicking a bit of the may/december thing. Woolsey deserves a classy lady like Teyla! And admit it, he would spoil Torren rotten.
