zinnith | Ronon the poet... (Reply)

I like Joe Mallozzi's blog. Not enough to read it slavishly every day, but I think it's fun to check in now and then and see if he has any new tidbits to offer on the SGA characters. His entry from the day before yesterday, for example, made me squee! He posted some of the scenes that were cut from the final Reunion script, and one of them offered some very interesting information about Ronon...

Ronon and his fellow Satedans catch-up in the tavern: A fun little glimpse at a surprisingly artistic pre-Runner Ronon here that we ended up cutting for time. It offered a more playful exchange between the old friends. Paul strongly objected to the “beautiful singing voice” line:

#INT. TAVERN -- DAY

Ronon's buddies reminiscing, while Rakai finishes up on the new tattoo he has given Ronon. Ara informs Teyla -

ARA: “Oh, Ronon was quite the artist in his younger days: sculpting, sketching, writing poetry - “

A surprised Teyla throws Ronon an amused look -

TEYLA: “He wrote poetry?

RONON: “Do we really need to drudge up the past?”

RAKAI: “When he wasn't singing to the ladies.”

ARA: “He has a beautiful voice.”

TEYLA: “Really?”

Ronon checks out his new tattoo and not so subtly changes the subject -

I've said it before and I will say it again: I love being right!
