LOL -- I agree with you *completely* on Johnny! I always sortof shrugged when I'd see him mentioned in magazines and friends' ravings... and then I saw PotC and went, "wow!" Captain Jack Sparrow!!! So much fun! :)
I've tried over the years to figure out what makes it over that border for me, and I've never quite understood. ;p It's definitely not in looks alone, though, which makes it really interesting when I like a character but not the actor.
SG-1 was always one of those shows for me that I enjoyed watching when I came across it but never really went out of my way to seek it (I don't do a lot of tv watching). But in the last year or so, I've started watching more. Part of it is the release of the DVDs and a friend having them so I can just borrow and watch (in order! wow!). I vastly enjoy the friendship and comradery from all of the team. If I had to pick a pairing, though, I'd actually go for Jack/Teal'c. The two of them...! Teal'c is oddly enough my favorite character there. Daniel is a great guy, but he was on my 'hot but not' list. ^^
I also laugh at the science/military, but part of my laughter there is knowing that it was Glassner who started SG idea... and he was also the one behind a short-lived made-for-tv but never made it past the first one show called Island City that Ronda introduced me to and I adored... but same thing -- great characters, interesting concept, what the heck were they thinking on their science? LOL.
