Some think-y thoughts... or an excuse to look at pics of gorgeous men (image heavy)

[bluespirit]

So, this is one of my absolute favourite pics of John.
It just sends shivers through me.
*guh*



John...

Then I noticed this...



Steve...

This pic of Steve sends exactly the same delicious shivers of guhness through me!

It got me thinking about the similarities between these two.

They're both honourable, duty-bound, military men who fight for what's right & save the galaxy and/or put bad guys away. And neither of them likes sticking to the rules.

They have family issues but care about the people who they've adopted as family...

They don't really talk about their feelings - but it doesn't mean they don't have them...

They can be kind of goofy...

They look really good without a shirt! (John's a bit shy but Steve doesn't have that problem... seriously, he takes it off. Every. Episode! *guh*)

They each have a scientist and/or partner...

Who's loud, talks a lot (usually with their hands, too) & who some and/or most people find irritating (though they both actually have a heart of gold)...

Rodney...

Danny...

They both look great in uniform...

And they're both hopelessly, head-over-heels in love...

♥♥♥

So, in conclusion?
Well, I kind of got distracted by all the hotness, but basically - these guys are gorgeous & I love them! *g*
Sorry, if you were looking for in-depth analysis & well-reasoned argument, I lost that about the time John & Steve took their shirts off! ;)

So, seems my brain wouldn't shut up about this & here are the results:

Stargate: Five-O & Atlantis Five-O

Awww! Now I want to watch the Hawaii O Five show!

Sexy!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Well, they're there for the taking! ;)

[jackieville.livejournal.com]

So very perfect!!!! *giggles*

*squishes and loves*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

They totally are - both couples! ♥

[grey853.livejournal.com]

Oh, total hotness! Thanks for the comparative review. I didn't realize just how similar the dynamic was. It explains a lot!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I mean, they're not identical or anything, but there's definitely a similarity! :)

[lantean-drift.livejournal.com]

How am I supposed to get through an afternoon at the office now?!

S and I had a conversation last night about how the Steve/Danno relationship is similar to the John/Rodney.
I think it pretty much came down to '*flail* they're both so frickin hot!!'

They make my heart burst with glee!!

Some v.hawt pics here, babe - thanks for the lunchtime pick-me-up.
Gonna be sending you hammock!Pr0n and begging for a beta later - I do hope that's okay? *g*

Luff you, babe.
.xx.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

LOL I've just emailed you & begged for some hammock!fic. \o/
Send away, babe!

There are a lot of similarities, aren't there? I mean, they're not identical but there are definite character traits in common. Of course, I'm not trying to sound all academic about it - they are just totally hot, too!
*IQ plummets in reaction to teh hawtness*

I ♥ both of my totally in love, gorgeous couples so much!
Now, where's my sparkly, pink glitter pen? ;)

[zooz.livejournal.com]

God all the prettiness...*thud* and the first picuture of John MY FAVORITE there are no words how hot that man is !!!!!

Thank you for this. YUM YUM YUM..!!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

That first pic always stops me in my tracks. He's just so damn hot!
*melts*

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

Looks like you've got a type...same as mine!

You have me wanting to watch H50, but I'm concerned that I've missed too many eps now. Maybe I can get D to tivo it...

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Yeah, looks like it. ;)

There've been 10 eps so far - that's only ~400 minutes without the ads! *g* I have them if you need them, too.
Check my media tags --->

[jaekayelle.livejournal.com]

Thank you for this post! I'd only gotten as far as both are HOT leader types, and John and Steve both have teams consisting of three guys and a girl. *g* This is so much better thought out, well, you know, as thought out as a girl can get when "researching" HOT leader types. ;-)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not really much of a 'meta' type at the best of times, & then with all the hotness my brain kind of just melted. ;)
It was a lovely excuse to look at lots of pics of pretty men, though.
*snort*
Yeah, like I need an excuse!

[mezzo-cammin.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm...I approve of this post of gorgeous men looking hot and in love! *swoons*

I am going to watch Hawaii Five-O, as soon as I finish writing something.

What a treat I have in store, huh?

:::scrolls back up:::

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! I figured that we can never have too many posts of gorgeous men looking hot & in love. ;)

You definitely have a treat in store!
\o/

[fanarts-series.livejournal.com]

love, you know i like you a lot but think about my old cranky heart, now i can't help but think about xover with them and in my head they are doing some naughty things.... *blush*
Anyway i so love this post and it's so true, it's the reason that a lot of the mcshep/sga team fan are in love with Hawaii and the McDanno, we feel something familiar perhaps.

And plus "Babe" ... wanted to scream in joy, imagine the mcshep with the babe in a sentence... orgasmic lol.

Merci infiniment, tu es adorable et parfaite.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

The 'babe' pretty much killed me! ♥

Yeah, Rodney may not call John 'babe' but the few times he actually says 'John' it's as good as. Those boys are so in love!

[iloveatlantis.livejournal.com]

Excellent comparison. :) And a lovely reason to look at hot men. :)

I honestly had not realized how much the dynamic is like John/Rodney until now. :)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

It's not identical, of course, but there's definitely a similarity. :)
The boys are totally their own people though. Both sets of 'em! *g*

[hildejohanne.livejournal.com]

ooooooooo, you've made my evening! The first image is a favorite of mine, and I have it as my desktop background, by danceswithgary

I can't believe how slashy both SGA and Hawaii 5-o are. The love just shines through in the images you've chosen :)

*stares at pics some more, deep sigh*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I just adore that shot of John. It's from Reunion, I think.
*melts*
And so when I saw the shot of Steve in the exact same pose...
*melts all over again*
LOL

Hopefully, the disc will be with you soon & so you'll be able to see for yourself. *fc*

[patk.livejournal.com]

>>I lost that about the time John & Steve took their shirts off! ;)<<

This is an absolutely understandable and perfectly normal reaction, don't worry about it. *G*

>>Some think-y thoughts...

In the face of this visual challenge? No way I'm expecting nor am I able to have think-y thoughts after scrolling down this entry. :-)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

LOL. Glad it's not just me then. ;)
*melts*

[djaddict.livejournal.com]

lol - Brilliant!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

It just seemed so obvious once I started to think about it. :)

[baby-d00.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I love the view!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

It is kind of pretty, isn't it? ;)

[anne-higgins.livejournal.com]

You rock! And yeah, the comparisons are all perfectly there, right down to what I think of as a "brat prince" attitude. Sometimes I think I really only have one fandom -- the brat prince/the 'poor soul who loves/tolerates/but isn't the easiest to get along with either' him.

Case in point:

John/Rodney
Steve/Danno
Jim Kirk/Bones
Dean/Castiel

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Once I started with that initial image, I just began to see more similarities between the dynamics of the two relationships.
Plus, it wasn't exactly onerous to trawl through all those pics... ;)

[sweeneybird.livejournal.com]

I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. :-) Seriously, this was very fun!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I had a lot of fun doing it!
Please feel free to friend. :)

[serenity-pen.livejournal.com]

LOL! This was great - fantastic screen caps too! Here's a shirtless Danno to add in!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I do keep wondering when Danny's going to take his shirt off. I'm sure we're going to see him swim at some point (well, I'm hoping anyway!) :)

[the-other-sandy.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm not the only one who sees this! Believe it or not, I made a post on my LJ (http://the-other-sandy.livejournal.com/211302.html) last Monday about how Steve/Danny is my new McShep.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

LOL Great minds, eh? ;)

[quadratur.livejournal.com]

Hehe, great comparison. There's also the part where they are both great chopper pilots (I'm rewatching ep 4 right now and Steve reminds me a lot of John in the SGA pilot right now).

Of course, now I want some Hawaii 5-0/SGA crossover, with the 5-0-team in Atlantis. ;-)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Yes! I was rewatching that ep the other day, too & it reinforced my theory! *g*

[aliaswestgate.livejournal.com]

You know what? You've got it right. I've been meandering around in the Merlin fandom since SGA went off air, and then Sherlock ate my brain this summer. But i had almost instant love of H5O because this dynamic is so similar, but it feels even MORE slashy at times than SGA was. yet not. *grin* The 'babe' comment this week just totally cemented it though, and we're only 10 eps in, WTF. XD

I'm glad that CBS is being good humored about the dynamic, as the Bromance promo showed us.(which means they probably wanna keep it) Plus the bonus of TEAM. I haven't had such a good team to watch since SGA too. It makes me happy and looking forward to mondays.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

The dynamic definitely feels familiar & I love the sense of family that the team has (like in SGA.)

The slashy subtext is much more overt though with Steve & Danny, I agree. And yes - thank goodness the network seems happy to play along! \o/

[angels21k.livejournal.com]

Erm...wow.

Snow...what snow? It's just all melted up here!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Two hot couples, no waiting, eh? ;)

[d_odyssey.livejournal.com]

You are awesome! *glee* I agree with this post. Great pics to illustrate that John and Steve are hot and brothers from another galaxy. :) Perfect presentation showing the John/Rodney and Steve/Danny similarities. My kind of shows. Thank you!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

hot and brothers from another galaxy
That's it exactly! :)

[la-vie-chanson.livejournal.com]

Just another comment to say thank you for the hotness & squee.
I've seen a lot of SGA but never gotten into any fic. Perhaps I should check it out....

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

There's an amazing amount of really great SGA fic out there.
Wraithbait is the main slash archive (the link is on the left at the top. --->)
I also write - McKay/Sheppard - & there's a tag for that in my list here, if you fancy a look. *g* --->
(No pressure, of course!)

[nevardevereaux.livejournal.com]

I <3 this!

Two of my all time favorite shows and men!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Once I started to think about the similarities, I realised that I was fated to love H5-O, too! *g*

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

I WANT TO HUG THIS POST TO MY CHEST AND NEVER LET IT GO.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

LOL
*John&Rodney & Steve&Danny hug you back*
