A not-all-inclusive Keller poll

[xparrot]

Yup, I've got better things I ought to be doing - but I didn't get much sleep last night, so I'm not doing them. So here, have a poll!

I'm seeing a lot of divergent opinions around about Dr. Jennifer Keller 'round SGA fandom these days, and I'm terribly curious about the stats (my apologies to everyone who's heartily sick of this.) As is apparent to anyone who reads my lj regularly, I'm not exactly unbiased about this, but I've tried to make this poll as neutral as possible; please speak up if you think it fails in that.

I actually liked the Rodney/Keller of "The Last Man" - it jsust didn't read as romantic to me, more sad. So building a romance based on that just doesn't work for me.

And I do doubt that they would create a male character and make him so ineffectual, playing it as sympathetic. Every male character who struggles or complains - Beckett, McKay - gets told to get on with it, and yet Keller gets patted on the shoulder? And we're supposed to relate to her for it, apparently...

Yes, this bothers me. A lot. It's not that she wavers - it's that her unconfidence isn't presented as an actual flaw, it's not something she's struggling to get over, it's not something that bothers the people around her. It's just a "cute" trait of hers, apparently, and one she's not going to overcome - why would she, when this way she gets plenty of attention and reassurances from everyone?
