very tiny SGA spoiler



JOHN SHEPPARD QUOTED THE PRINCESS BRIDE.

John: Life isn't fair; it's just fairer than death.
Elizabeth: Oscar Wilde?
John: The Princess Bride.

Now, here's the thing. That line is not in the movie (as you know if you've seen it). It's in the book -- as a matter of fact, it is the very last line of the book.

John Sheppard has read my very favorite book in the whole world. I am officially in love with him now.

EDITED TO ADD: According to [livejournal.com profile] carnage533, Sheppard immediately thereafter qualified this remark by adding, "The movie." If he did, I am profoundly disappointed in the SGA writers, because that line is NEVER spoken in the movie. (I can quote the whole thing from memory.) But Sheppard is still teh awesome.
