It's funny, but until I was in need of a fandom to vent a story idea that kept plaguing me, I was rather "meh" toward SGA. Sheppard was cute and I leaned toward his character more than the others, but my major like for him didn't happen until after watching several more episodes (so it was actually fanfiction that eventually led me to falling in love with the show.)

What really adhered me to Sheppard was that he wasn't the typical hero. He's smart and cool-headed, while at the same time a complete and utter dork. I love that about him.
