Oh, JF

Apparently, Joe Flanigan speaks French. Fluently. This is the universe's response to my gushing about Hewlett, isn't it?

Joe felt left out. Don't do it again and maybe the universe will spare us more enticing informations like that one. I'm still glad, as I said before this morning, that there are no news out that JF also plays the piano.
(I'm still whimpering. And, of course, then murron had to go and tease me with the image of JF and DH playing Jazz together. My brain imploded quietly.)

And, of course, you feel the need to share that image, don't you? Both of them in a smoky Jazz club, sleeves rolled up, shirts partly unbuttoned. Seriously, the flailing has got to stop.

And, of course, you feel the need to share that image, don't you?

I just hate suffering alone. Always better to watch your brain dribble out your ears when someone is around.
DH would either play double bass or he'd sing. And JF on the piano.
Uhm.
Guh.

Thanks to z_rayne I have an mp3 of DH singing on my harddrive, so it's easy to imagine. *sighs*

Yeah. That one was on my mind as well. And the man claims he can't sing! The blasphemy!
Seriously, though, why hasn't the man done an audiobook yet? Heck, I'd probably buy the phone-book if he were reading it out loud)

My response was as follows:

"FLANIGAN!" [angry fist-shake!]

A perfectly understandable response. *nods*
Do you think this will trigger a flood of stories where John Sheppard masters the French language and everyone is surprised and secretly hot and bothered?

Okay, short answer, OBVIOUSLY.

Long answer:

a) there will be schmoopy stories about Rodney's boyhood in Quebec, and possibly the young american guy he slept with there who he didn't know was american because he spoke French.

b) There may also be hardcore stories about John's tours in Somalia or whatever. Someplace in Africa where they speak french, and John being all Doctors-without-Borders and carrying sick little babies and shooting evil warlords and generally being a badass who speaks French.

c) also, possibly POW stories in Cambodia, or someplace where people speak french.

Seriously, I just want them to work it into the show. There are (ostensibly) French nationals on the show. What about a throwaway scene where Sheppard's talking to some french guy just before Rodney bursts into the room and says "OMG a BOMB!" or whatever.

note: The first time I wrote 'omg, a bomb,' I actually typed 'OMG a BONG!' which is an entirely different story.

carrying sick little babies and shooting evil warlords At the same time!

'OMG a BONG!' which is an entirely different story. Hee. Crackfic!

I just want them to work it into the show
*sighs* Yes, please. I mean, they let RDA speak Spanish on SG-1. It's only fair.

Maybe they could just encounter the only race that doesn't speak English - but instead speaks French --- and then John to the rescue!!

I also love the bit of the interview where he talks about what his son thinks he does:

"My dad goes everyday into space to kill bad aliens"

Actually, didn't that happen in a fic that was posted recently? Only it was Rodney speaking French, not John. :)

It's cute, but it makes me wonder how old his son actually is. I gotta google that.
