Yeah...I just wish Keller's inner fears were more inner and less outer in the show. I wish she were more like Rodney and said more, "This can't be done!" and less, "I can't do this!"
(I also wish Keller were funnier. I like Rodny's pessimism because his babbling panic attacks make me laugh. Keller's uncertainty is played for sympathy - rather than smacking her upside the head, the other characters jump to reassure her. Ironically, this makes me less sympathetic to her. But SGA never has been able to give women good humor (the few times they let Torri Higginson be as funny as she can be were my favorite moments with Elizabeth; the couple times I've warmed to Keller were when she's gotten funny lines.) So I can't really blame Keller for that, though I do blame the writers. Jewel Staite can do comedy - let her do it!)
Oh well. I wish I liked the char, I don't. I wish I could see the char you see!
