Dude. We do NOT have too much time on our hands. Hush.

[lyssie]

lucyparavel and I have questions about AUs, but first, I need to know what hand Sam seems to use, and I am far too lazy to actually go watch. And exhaustive staring at pictures says he uses both pretty equally. Mmm. I love an excuse to stare at his hands...

I have zero clue as to his handedness, I just like the idea of better representation for the ambidextrous!

[zorb]

Zombie hunters would also be acceptable!

Who needs an excuse to stare at his hands? They are reason enough alone for staring at pictures for hours.

Hi. I don't watch BSG anymore, so this is the first I'm hearing of Anders' first name, and I must ask: Are you 'shipping them because they are actually Kara/Sam? :)

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, gawd, "I don't watch BSG anymore" sounds snitty -- please do not take it as such. I am not being a fanwench, I swear, but I haven't watched this season. <3

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*laughs* No, surprisingly (although I will swear to my dying day that Ron named him that on PURPOSE), I actually like the guy, and, well, he and Kara do the Old Married Couple with bickering that I love and adore (I am SO EASY).

Or maybe not so surprisingly: he's hot, amusing, snarky, and he blew things up and pointed guns at people. That's like a Recipe to Attract Lyssie.

(and that did not sound snitty! It was simply truth and curiosity!)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

We might be writing part of it. Although it may not be so Noir-ish. (this is sad. There's, like, four other things we're trying to finish, and instead, we're being distracted by shiny new things)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I think he might be, actually. It's... not something I would have noticed, but I was curious.

[lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com]

HA! I was going to put zombie hunters, and then realized that's canon (sort of) so it wouldn't really be AU. WILD WEST, baby! (that could be my strange unnatural urge to cross BSG with Deadwood though).

And you forced me (FORCED, I say) to watch Sam/Kara stuff from Resistance and Farm to discover Sam's handed-ness. I will vote that he is left handed (he throws a ball left-handed), but as an elite sports professional (and like most lefties) has trained himself to be more ambidextrous than the average right-handed person. There. Perhaps I need to go watch some Downloaded, just to make sure...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

There would be lots of mockery. And sex while covered in goo, possibly. AND GUNS. omg. Lots of guns. (so, really, I just want to write House of Dead 2 fanfic, I should just admit it...)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Obviously, you should. ALSO. He smokes with his left hand.

I think I just have a fetish for Kara as a cowboy, with the leather pants and guns and stuff. Um. Yes.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Good point. ;)

[lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com]

he wears his watch on his right wrist.
When he's using only one, I think he shoots a gun like a right-handed person, with the right-hand pulling the trigger (my dad does that, however, and he's a lefty).

[lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com]

Any AU or canon that has leather pants wins. yep.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

My roommate wears a watch on her left wrist (she's right-handed)....

And in Rapture, he's holding the rifle the opposite way.

OH SAM, BE CONSISTANT.

Consistantly hot, at least...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Roomie is left-handed. GAH. (obviously, Sam was distracting.)

[lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com]

he's holding his rifle in Downloaded the opposite way too. (my pure guess is that Trucco is left handed and the stunt coordinator/directors were telling him to shoot right handed in his first eps).

And when he's got the handgun it's definitely in his left hand. He also holds Kara's tag in his left hand when Boomer gives it back.

I'm still voting lefty - even if nobody else agrees with me. *g*

There is nothing so funny as watching Doral make himself a latte.

[liam22.livejournal.com]

lol. Anything where Kara and Sam can both blow stuff up and have sex is gonna be a good time all around.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Doral is just cuuute.

Hrm. Left-handed Trucco makes sense. It's just... amusing. (oh, canon, you have so many holes, swiss cheese is looking more and more stable)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

This is quite quite true. ;]

[ebneter.livejournal.com]

Trucco, and therefore Anders, is definitely left handed. He shoots left-handed, and when they play pyramid on Caprica, he throws left-handed.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

And here I was going to do more research...

Woe, for science is thwarted with fact.

[lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com]

I realized I should have proof of Trucco's handed-ness, but alas, I have no picture of him signing the banners in Burbank and I don't remember. Clearly I fail at being a fangirl. He does wear his watch on the right in real life, that much I can say for sure, though like you said, right-handed people can do that occasionally.

So. That's all I got.

[ebneter.livejournal.com]

Nah, you can always do more research. This is how science works!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

ebneter says he is left-handed. Hah. Hrm. Now, if that only mattered... (actually, why does that suddenly make him even hotter?)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

This is very true. Hrm.

[lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com]

So what is the purpose of this handed-ness research in the first place? To decide which side to put his sword/holster on?

It does. odd. but true.

(and see, this icon had the answer all the time -- he's holding up Kara's undies with his left hand. *nods* )

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Kara Thrace's underwear: discovering men's handedness since the dawn of time.

Er, Kara was handing him a pistol, and I needed to know which side worked, since he's got Helo hoisted upright with the other. And Cadman might start mocking them if he has the shift Helo to the other side. Not that it matters in the long run, of course.

[lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com]

Anders can shoot guns with both hands, for he is a stud. So, no, it probably doesn't matter.

Cadman? As in SGA Cadman? or is there one in BSG that I'm blanking on?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Kara demands accuracy! They only have so much ammo.

SGA Cadman. I got inspired for more Wraith and Pony Show fic.

[centerspire.livejournal.com]

Where's the "more pirates AU" button? Although, the thought of them as gladiators gave me a little morning squee.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I kind of forgot about the pirates au....

[pretty-fits.livejournal.com]

Kara and Sam in the Old West would be kick ass. Oh the hijinks they'll get in.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Leather and guns and horses and snark and getting tied up together by the bad guy and having to get free and Sam being able to stare at her ass in leather pants and... Yes. Yes it would.
