It seems like just yesterday that this blog was getting 2 hits a day and I was making up comments to answer in my Q & A section. Now I'm getting... I dunno but a lot more. Thank you all for your interest in my life. I'm flattered.
We had a production meeting today to cover some of the scenes from "Wanderers." I put up one of the ideas I had for the episode. It's people wandering. And for all you Shep whumpers out there, I wasn't able to get a picture of Shep whumped, so I took the liberty of drawing you one myself. It's Sheppard whumped in a hospital bed with blood. I'm considering an art career when I'm through with writing...
The meeting was rather boring since there were no snacks to photograph. So imagine my surprise when I returned to my office to discover that a French friend had left me a bushel of sweets, and an English friend had sent me several packets of English hot cocoa mix. Oh the joys of chocolate! And I just love ground duck liver. Does anything sound more decadent than that?
My my my, you all are very curious today. Time for a little Q & A, if you will --
sallyweeps writes: "Oh Moe, you are just the funniest thing. And the pics are awesome. Never stop gracing us with you most awesome awesomeness.
And to those of you who insist on hijacking Moe's blog to push your ship agendas, Moe has made it perfectly clear that he doesn't talk about ship.
Now do what I say and only praise him. Praise him!"
Answer: My most awesome awesomeness? You humble me. Though I thank you for your support enforcing my rule of not discussing ships.
quiet_fractures writes: "Moe, I just want to tell you that you are a genious. All those other haters that don't follow your every word are just lemmings. I shall take it upon myself to defend you on Gatewank all the times. Yes you are my hero. Also please give us some Shep whump. I don't have an agenda at all."
Answer: You're my favorite kind of fan. The kind with no agenda. As for genius... well, I wouldn't go that far, however it's not out of the hypothetical ball park.
Anonymous # 1 writes: "So, I know you don't answer things like this. But I had to ask. What is up with the character development. One episode we see Teyla dieing Ronon hugging her then next we see Teyla dieing and Ronon eating. Is Sheyla gonna have babies? Is McKay your alter-ego cuz...he is always eating, and a jackass at times. Another one. How many pugs does it take to screw in a light bulb?"
Answer: Teyla and Ronon have no relationship. Ronon likes his food more than her. Only he's not cool enough to photograph it like I am. Sheyla babies? Hmmm... that would entail one of us having the slightest idea of how to write for not only a woman, but a mother... I'll get back to you on that one. Ah yes, McKay. I like to think of him as the star of the show - a real unsung hero the way he comes up with something around the 40th minute of every episode and wraps things up nicely. He's a writer's dream - a living, breathing
deus ex machina. Which, of course, is also me, because I am god-like.
amimeeps writes: "Hi Moe, I know you said you don't listen to fans when you make your creative decisions but I gotta try again. Could you please kill off John Sheppard? It would make me orgasm so bad, and I need it. I want him dying a slow, sweet death, you know lots of blood and all, make him suffer cuz you know it's good and all. You probably couldn't tell but I do love the character. Oh yeah, in case you didn't notice, I'm a proud whumper.Bye"
Answer: I made sure I got that picture in there just for you, babe.
MajorlyDull writes: " ZOMG! ZOMG!
Amanda Tapping is so hot. I want to be Amanda Tapping. Or Sam Carter.
I want that old man Jack to give her babies so I can live out my daddy fantasies through them.
:D"
Answer: You have daddy fantasies? Try getting a pug. It really helps.
nc17 writes: "I have nothing to say except that you are my God, and I would follow you to a Waco like demise."
Answer: Good to know. I may yet need you when I make my super villain bid for world domination... what skills do you have?
blabberella writes: "Moe I just want to say that I agree completely with all the changes you have made. Weir was a waste of space I mean she sucked soooo much. Plus she was getting in the way of my ship, I mean we all know that Teyla is so HOT and I want to do things...wait what was I saying. Oh, yeah, thank god that Weir is gone. She was such a bad leader, can you believe she decided to actually think about a decision. Actual thoughts were going through her head. She was too emotional I mean she should be stoic like Teyla. I know its not your guys fault that she sucked. I mean it was all Weir."
Answer: Yes, Weir's constant inaction as she pondered her decisions was a huge speed bump in the storylines. The fault does lie with her. This is one case where I will admit that she's a real person and not a fictional character because it relieves me of any responsibility for her suckiness.
psychowhumperchick writes: "Oh most glorious and effete man! Please tell us widdle whumpkins who are panting with lust for Sheppy's nekkid body to be seen in full frontal view in all its glory throughout the land...that ...um...I lost my train of thought.
Oh yeah, can we get nekkid Sheppikins in the infirmary preferably with copious amounts of blood spatter? ASAP.
And how can anyone think we want anything other than just to kiss the boo boo? Meanies.
You are a glorious and effete man."
Answer: If you'll notice... my drawing of your beloved Sheppard is indeed in the buff... with as much blood spatter as my pen would allow...
Anonymous # 2 writes: " Dear Moe,
I want to hear about Carter's new haircut. It's sooo hot, it's even better than new uniforms!! Please tell me she won't have to wear that short hair again! I want to have hair like that."
Answer: Hear about her new haircut? What's there to hear about? It's hair that was cut and is now no longer living because it was once in the first place but is now no more.
pg15 writes: " Pfft, you are so not worthy to worship Moe
nc17. I am THE most devout worshipper and you will burn in the fires of the Ori if you do not cease and desist the worshipping.
Moe, I worship you with the passion of a thousand stargate-blackhole-induced exploding suns."
Answer: Please, please, don't start a fight over me... I'd hate to cause any trouble in the fandom.

Dear Moe,

Oh my, I wish I could look as good as Carter in that boyish short hair, only her. only her. *bows* me wants it too, but where to buy???"
Answer: Where to buy a haircut? Isn't that like asking how much dirt is in a hole?
Sanscoeur writes: "Wow yo Moe! *loves you* Do you speak french? Bc my french friends want to post on your blog but they're afraid bc they believe it's an only english speaking blog. :(
So, I know this question has never been asked before but I was wondering if Weir would ascend? And is Teyla gonna get some whumping and I mean hardcore whump? ( But Rochelle NutTrail being pregnant will you guys use her double more? Bc I love her double like woah, she was great in well most of Teyla's episodes, again it's absolutely not you guys fault if Weir and Teyla are just so ridiculously unuseful !!)"
Answer: I have found an online translator site so tell your friends to feel free to post away, although I am partial to people who speak Mexican. Will Wier ascend? She shall indeed ascend the stairs that lead to payroll to receive her final paycheck. Because she's a real person, not an actress, as I told
blabberella. Teyla will have more of a story arc this season since we don't like to take notice of a woman until she's pregnant and is hard to miss.

Cheekypsychowhumperchick
Thank you *felt the need to clarify*
Hey! Don't forget the intubation part, cos that's the most important bit, well apart from him being nekkid. :P
Thanking you oh crazy and nutty one.
*hugs*"
Answer: Oh dear. I believe I forgot the breathing tube in my drawing... I'll have to remember that for next time...
linzi writes: " Dear Moe,
May I just say how utterly disgusted I am with this appalling blog, how distressing for me that I've not pissed you off enough for you do parody me! What's a girl gotta do to show you she's worthy?
I'm heartbroken I'm not visible enough to be lovingly ridiculed. I should have chosen a better net name, shouldn't I?
Hmmmm... how about Wackywhumper, or Lustful Linzi? Mind you, there'd be no point because Moe, you wouldn't ever answer my damn questions anyway, would you??? ;)"
Answer: I've ignored you? I'm sorry - it's nothing personal. I'm sure you could understand what with how incredibly popular, god-like and genius I am, I don't always have the time to respond to every comment... unless every comment is about me, of course. Why don't you try asking me about what I like to eat?
Anooonymoose spraky fan writes: "I just wanted to thank you moe for letting my lizziebeth have eyesex with Sheppard. Oh lizzy is wonderful and funny and brilliant she could run atlantis single handedly. Why oh why did you feel the need for her to be own3d! She doesn't deserve to burn, please give that to the whumpers, they crave that pyschopathic stuff, but lizzy is so fragile, i mean what will happen to her pretty face? I hope she won't be disfigured."
Answer: What's eyesex? How does it work? I'm suddenly very interested... Elizabeth's fragility is one of the reasons we have let her go. I mean, she didn't even escape the explosion unscathed, which is a sure sign of her weakness as a leader.
FarGateFan writes: "Hey Moe, I just want to know, why oh why, don't you have Vala on the show!!!! I mean she made SG1 what it was!!! Who cares about the first 8 seasons, they didn't count!! The sun rises on Claudia Black and if you can't see that, then your a &%*%ing idiot! Bring Vala to the show, who cares if she doesn't fit in!"
Answer: How bout I take something and shove it where it don't fit in YOU?! And I am NOT an idiot!
Anonybooze writes: " So, JoeMoe, whatever your name is..hic...sorry, been down the bourbon again...****### hic...
A serious question for a change. Are you a transvestite?"
Answer: Are you an alcoholic? I don't see what could have ever led you to believe that I'm a transvestite...
PissyMcPissed writes: "Ok. seriously, answer my QUESTION. Do Teyla and Ronon get payed just like everyone else? && what's up with their outfits? I mean, can't they get their own uniforms too?
*wink*"
Answer: Teyla and Ronon have no relationship, therefore they don't get paid. And what are you, smart or something? They wear the traditional clothes of their cultures which, of course, are rather raggedy because their cultures are far below that of our superior earth culture. Ronon's beads symbolize his love of toast.
My Name Is Scott writes: " Moe. wey to make the hole fanbass angryr by canseling starrgait LOLZ"
Answer: That was a studio decision. And I walk with a star gait,
Sheylafanatic writes: "Ok. Since all these STUPID ships on SGA are running through the fandom. I Wanted to know--are you going to put a stop to this madness?! I can't STAND it anymore. Please, just reveal that Teyla and Ronon are BROTHER and SISTER.We all know it's true. I mean the way the look at each other SCREAMS "SIBLINGS" And they look JUST like each other.It's obvious, so I will have full confidence in the fact that you will KILL all other ships!! Thanks!! I LOVE YOU! =]"
Answer: I have to agree with you on that one - they do look like they could be twins with their similar heights and tones of voice. As for killing all other ships... I hope you mean space ships, because other ships don't exist. And thank you for your love... if you're Rachel Ray I just might return it...
bluepills writes: "
Anooonymoose spraky fan why are you turning this into a ship thing. You know Moe will never acknowledge sparky. Stop talking about ship.
Now Moe will Shep and Teyla be together in s4 like it was meant to be."
Answer: Sheppard and Teyla will always be together for they are teammates and special. Though I don't discuss ships.

Excuse me, but I asked Moe that question. Who put you as blog moderator? What on earth gives you the higher authority to tell me what i can and can't ask?
*mod liscence revoked*
Moe, don't listen to viagra, we can tell that it's spraky you love. Their lust can't be denied. I mean all the fandom are talking about it. Why in one scene, Hot Zone, they actually were quite nasty to each other and we all know that means they want to jump each other's bones."
Answer: Please, please, rest assured that I am the all-powerful one here. There is no need for you guinea pigs to quibble.
lutz writes: " Hey Moe how about some whump for my luff Sheppy. I've heard there will be some in Wanderers SQUeEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. Shep Whump thread is actually a 4th sheyla thread. for realz."
Answer: Yes, indeed, there shall be some Shep whump in "Wanderers." Did I mention yet that I wrote "Wanderers"? It should be the best episode of season 4.
Anonymous # 3 writes: "Hey Moe, do you intend to make Ronon and Sheppard start having regular hair cuts??!!!"
Answer: No one can approach Ronon with a pair of scissors and survive. And Sheppard is hoping J.K. Rowling will cave and write stories of James Potter so so that he can play James (with his wind swept hair) in the WB films.
Remedial English writes: " OMG Moe, U R teh l33test eva. All trolls are n00bs. PWND.
Keep up teh lulz. SRSLY."
Answer: You deserve to be flogged, salted, and hung out in front of a lawn mower at which point you would be eaten by Cookie Monster.
scurimore writes: " Hey Moe, any chance Vala crosses over in S4 and we see some hot lesbo action between her and Carter?"
Answer: That's... a very interesting story premise. Why don't you contact me privately with your e-mail and we'll see about getting you in to write a spec script.
Anonymous # 4 writes: " Sorry NC17, but PG15 wins the suckup award, since he posted the link to this blog on another certain blog...
Yeah, PG15. Suckup king."
Answer: What other blog? No one could possibly be more intriguing, dashing and dastardly than I am. Unless, of course, it was someone making a satire out of material provided by me, but who would have the balls to do that?
JesamJebena writes: "Will the writers for SGA ever learn to write for the women characters? I think SG-1 was KINDA working..but that got canceled soo...."
Answer: Some people think I'm a transvestite. If I
were a transvestite do you think there would be any difference in the writing of the female characters? I don't think so. And SG-1 got canceled because there were two women on the team which is two too many.
Carter4ever!!!111!! writes: " Dear Moe,
Doesn't it suck that Carter fans have been victimized the most in this fandom? SDJ and OS always bitch about Carter. We bring it up constantly to get pity points. Hopefully Joe will throw us a bone if we lay it on thick. Those mean Daniel fans! Poor wittle us.
We hate TPTB because they stole Carter's leadership position and gave it to stupid Cambo. Then they stole Carter's episode time and gave it to that whore Vala. TPTB suck!
...what's that? Carter is going to be on SGA full time next year? We love you TPTB! We trust everything you do! <3 style="font-weight: bold;">nc17, I may yet need you when I make my super villain bid for world domination...
licksuCarter writes: "yes, we carter fans have been treated the worst. we didn't get 10 years of sammy on SG-1 and we aren't getting her in the movies and atlantis either. What do Weir fans have to complain about?*criiiiiiiiiieez* oh wait we are having all that. oh well, tough luck Weir fans! weeeeeeeeeee we wuv you carter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
Answer: Carter, being a military woman who has been surrounded by 2 men and Daniel for years, has more potential to be man-like which is why we're keeping her. She's easier for us men to write. Weir, unfortunately, was a negotiator and knew how to compromise. That's problematic for storytelling because without ultimatums, there's no conflict to write about.
