SG-1 and Atlantis ramblings

[icepixie]

In an odd mood tonight. These are longer, but more random, than usual.


SG-1: "Zero Hour"

Wow, they really used up a good chunk of their RDA time this episode. But it was necessary to show how he commands the base in the absence of SG-1, so I suppose it was warranted. Ramblings:

- Sargeant Davis rocks my world. Hee.

- "You have no idea how happy we are to see you." Well, yeah. I expect a mutiny at some point real soon at Jack's inability to deal with his schedule. ;)

- Dr. Lee!

- OMG, I had that plant once. Seriously. In under a year, it went from the top of my bookcase to having tendrils stretched all the way across the wall and entwined in the blinds. It was like the mega-plant of doom.

- Dude, Teal'c's practically on happy gas. He's smiling all over the place.

- Major Davis! Wheee!

- How on Earth can Jack get away with something like locking the delegates together? Yeah, it worked, but how is he getting this past the president?

- Hee, Krispy Kreme!

- Daniel would so be allergic to that plant. (Janet, too. *sniff*)

- Yay, they acknowledged the difference in planetary day lengths!

- Reynolds, the SG-3 colonel, is great. He sort of reminds me of Kowalski. It's nice that Jack has such support even without SG-1 there.

- Hmmm, looks like Camulus got a makeover. He's actually sort of attractive.

- *snort* Love the letter to Hammond.

- Yay, ZPMs! Now we just need to find some in Pegasus...

- "You should know. Of course I dare mock you."
"Was it wise to provoke him?"
"It's what I do."

Jack is so enjoying the power.

- Resignation? While this opens up interesting, uh, possibilities, ahhh!

- Why didn't they just insist that SG-1 get returned first before handing Camulus over? (Although it all worked out, so never mind.)

- Um, Jack? You seem to have an unusual lack of dedication to getting "your" team back, and little in the way of private angst over it outside of the locker room.

- Jack, sweetie, being rule-bound like that is a great way to get people killed.

- So the aide guy wasn't evil? Wow. Awesome way to subvert my expectations.

- "Never mind." Hee!



Atlantis: "Thirty-Eight Minutes"

I was a little worried at the premise of this ep, but it turned out much better than I'd hoped. Blow-by-blow:

- Oooooh, pretty planet...

- So what's up with the funkily-cut shirt on Weir? And why is she always wearing civvies when everyone else is in the uniform? And, dude, heels? With all those staircases? Man, she's braver than I.

- Um, so Elizabeth's hair is back to being straight. Interesting. (Yeah, I know this was the second ep filmed. Don't care.)

- Whoops. Why did the Ancients make those ships so frickin' huge, anyway? They could easily have taken out a bit of the seating in order to have some leeway for problems like this.

- I'm never gonna get tired of these credits. (It's the choir. Put a choir in anything and I'm happy; I'm that big of a choir geek.)

- Bleh, vague indications of Sheppard/Teyla.

- BWAH! I heart Elizabeth. She's so fun yelling at McKay. (And the sick and wrong part of me wonders what Weir/McKay ship might be like...)

- Heh. "I'll put all my geeks ina room and see what happens." Weir's awesome. She's so direct.

- "Turn that damn alarm off!" And so practical!

- Hee, Weir can translate technobabble.

- "It's a bad habit." Um, yes, Rodney. Overreaction usually is.

- Hmmm, that particular shot of the city looks familiar...

- Yay, other languages being spoken! I like the little touches that show they're an international team.

- "How can I help?" / "You can stop talking." Hee! (And dude, they so stole a scene from that fic I keep trying to work on...)

- "Well, you have a cling-on." *cracks up* I love Beckett! I love him! I want to hug him and squeeze him and call him Pippin! (I take it the producers realized that people would start calling him "Scotty" early on...) theusual, you need to be watching this show if just for the puns.

- Y'know, that is kind of like the biggest tick ever...

- Beckett? Are you calling Ford "son"? That's...weird.

- Hee, international geek bickering.

- "Without technobabble, please." But she was just translating the technobabble a few scenes ago...

- OMG, Weir so ROCKS! "I haven't worked up to humiliation!" Hee! She's fabulous! And dude, Cavanaugh so has a crush on her. I predict McKay-on-SG-1-when-Sam-was-around levels of assiness. Hehehehe. And does anyone know what else the actor has been in? He looks a lot like the guy who played Ed on Northern Exposure, but I looked him up, and it's actually a guy named Ben Cotton. Anyone?

- Is it just me, or is anyone else seeing more UST between Sheppard and Ford than Sheppard and Teyla?

- "I thought that was a metaphor." *snort Oh, McKay... Also, why do they have salt in one of those kits? For leeches?

- Ooooh, Elizabeth's angsting as they try the salt and water and John screams...

- Hmmm, again with the familiar shot of the city at sunrise...

- What was he going to say?

- Wheeee! John with no shirt! [/hormonal fangirl]

- Okay, third time with the stock shot of the city. It's awesome, don't get me wrong, but did they spend the entire season's effects budget on it?

- Hey, Farscape proved a human can survive up to thirty seconds in pure vacuum. Ford'll be fine.

- I'm getting really, really sick of all the nodding that goes on between Weir and, like, everyone else. If it was just casual, cool, but every time for the past three eps, it's been all significant. It's getting annoying.

- Hee, Weir's so relieved that Sheppard's okay, she has to sit down. (I'm shipping way, way too hard for these two.)

- She SO called him on how that wasn't what he was going to say! (Heh, it was probably something like, "Great sex last night, Elizabeth!" Or I could be projecting.) Hee, the flirting is so amusing. Yay John/Elizabeth UST!

theusual, you need to be watching this show if just for the puns.

Since I wasn't doing anything better with my time, I turned it on after seeing this post. Unfortunately it was about halfway through and I apparently missed the puns. That disappoints me.

The show doesn't seem bad, though. I get the feeling I might be able to actually watch this one, unlike SG-1. For the life of me, I just can't watch a full episode of that show.

[icepixie]

Unfortunately it was about halfway through and I apparently missed the puns. That disappoints me.

Awww. Yeah, the pun was about twenty minutes into the show. You just missed it.

The show doesn't seem bad, though. I get the feeling I might be able to actually watch this one,

Wheee, a (potential) convert!

unlike SG-1. For the life of me, I just can't watch a full episode of that show.

Really? I would think Jack, especially, would appeal to you, with his, uh, "special" sense of humor.

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Awww. Yeah, the pun was about twenty minutes into the show. You just missed it.

Damn. If there's one thing I hate more than a lack of puns, it's missing the puns that are there. Actually, no. The one thing I hate more than a lack of puns is a punch in the face. But that doesn't fit the theme.

Really? I would think Jack, especially, would appeal to you, with his, uh, "special" sense of humor.

I know it's a good show. I like the characters (well, I like Jack and laugh that Parker Lewis has work. I have no real opinions on the others). I just can't watch it for some undefined reason.

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

I'm just going to have to send you nothing but quotes. I was the same way as you until I just started looking for the snark and built up from there.

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Quotes themselves don't work for me. I need the context. And recaps are too long.

I'm just completely indifferent to the show.

[icepixie]

If there's one thing I hate more than a lack of puns, it's missing the puns that are there. Actually, no. The one thing I hate more than a lack of puns is a punch in the face. But that doesn't fit the theme.

And the expression on Beckett's face after he made the pun was priceless. Sort of a, "Dammit, now I've revealed to all of them that I'm a Trekkie!" Because that would be so uncool in a city made up almost entirely of geeks...

I know it's a good show. I like the characters (well, I like Jack and laugh that Parker Lewis has work. I have no real opinions on the others). I just can't watch it for some undefined reason.

Well, Parker Lewis was only on it for a season, anyway. But I suppose I can't judge you too harshly for the dislike...same thing with me and anything in the Jossiverse. I should like them...but I don't.

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

And the expression on Beckett's face after he made the pun was priceless.

Which one is Beckett? I think I've put together that he was the Doctor Guy With The Cool Accent, and if so I think I could actually picture that.

Well, Parker Lewis was only on it for a season, anyway.

He's not on anymore? Parker Lewis LOST?!?!?! My world is askew.

But I suppose I can't judge you too harshly for the dislike...same thing with me and anything in the Jossiverse. I should like them...but I don't.

Sometimes you're just not compatable with a show. I'll probably give SG-1 another shot next week if I remember that it's on (I'll probably catch the replay). But without Parker Lewis... I just don't know...

[icepixie]

Which one is Beckett? I think I've put together that he was the Doctor Guy With The Cool Accent, and if so I think I could actually picture that.

Yep. He's like Pippin, only way snarkier. Hee, you should've seen the first two eps. "Any side effects?" / "Dry mouth, headache...the irrisistable urge to run around in a small wheel." Or "I'm feeling something! I think it may be lunch-related." Beckett and McKay are my new slash pairing. *giggle*

He's not on anymore? Parker Lewis LOST?!?!?! My world is askew.

I have no idea why, but this is cracking me up way more than anything should. It might have something to do with lack of sleep. But hee.

Sometimes you're just not compatable with a show. I'll probably give SG-1 another shot next week if I remember that it's on (I'll probably catch the replay). But without Parker Lewis... I just don't know...

Personally, I like Daniel just the eensiest bit more than Parker Lewis. But yeah, give it another try, even without him.

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Something tells me that if I stick with it, Beckett's going to be my favorite character.

I have no idea why, but this is cracking me up way more than anything should. It might have something to do with lack of sleep. But hee.

It was the bolded text. Bold is always funny.

Personally, I like Daniel just the eensiest bit more than Parker Lewis. But yeah, give it another try, even without him.

I haven't seen much of Daniel. I know three things about him, actually: 1) He has glasses, 2) he was gone for a while, and 3) the ladies seem to like him. Whereas with Parker Lewis, I knew that I'd be laughing every time he was on screen whether they wanted me to or not. I'm going to miss that feeling.

[icepixie]

Something tells me that if I stick with it, Beckett's going to be my favorite character.

I have no doubt. He's sort of my favorite character, too. Even if he is technically not a regular...

Yeah, maybe that's it.

I haven't seen much of Daniel. I know three things about him, actually: 1) He has glasses, 2) he was gone for a while, and 3) the ladies seem to like him.

Add in "he's a geek" and "he's easy to slash with Jack," and you've pretty much got him covered. ;)

*snerk*

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

I have no doubt. He's sort of my favorite character, too. Even if he is technically not a regular...

But they seem to have such a large recurring cast, so I doubt that matters. Plus? Puns. That can make up for anything.

Add in "he's a geek" and "he's easy to slash with Jack," and you've pretty much got him covered. ;)

Slash means nothing to me, but "geek" starts to make up for the lack of Parker Lewis.

[icepixie]

But they seem to have such a large recurring cast, so I doubt that matters.

Yeah. Beckett's getting his very own episode in a couple weeks anyway, so they're obviously planning on using him way more than the doctor on SG-1.

Plus? Puns. That can make up for anything.

Indeed!

Slash means nothing to me, but "geek" starts to make up for the lack of Parker Lewis.

The slash is funny, though. (This froma died-in-the-wool Sam/Jack shipper!) It's mostly bickering, anyway. And Danny is such a geek. Really. On a level with Jonas (aka Parker Lewis).

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Beckett's getting his very own episode in a couple weeks anyway, so they're obviously planning on using him way more than the doctor on SG-1.

I only hope that the episode title is a horrible pun.

And Danny is such a geek. Really. On a level with Jonas (aka Parker Lewis).

Again showing that I know Jonas only for his Parker Lewis-ness, I didn't even know he was a geek. Look, I find out one thing about the character and I run with it. In his case, I found out who the actor is.

[icepixie]

I only hope that the episode title is a horrible pun.

*thinks* *thinks harder* *lightbulb*

OMG, I so never noticed that before now. *cackles madly* Even if you never watch another ep, you need to watch that one.

Again showing that I know Jonas only for his Parker Lewis-ness, I didn't even know he was a geek. Look, I find out one thing about the character and I run with it. In his case, I found out who the actor is.

Hee. He was a geek, though--he loved bananas and the Weather Channel.

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

OMG, I so never noticed that before now. *cackles madly* Even if you never watch another ep, you need to watch that one.

Apparently it is a grand pun. What's the episode title?

Hee. He was a geek, though--he loved bananas and the Weather Channel.

... Okay, I can see how the Weather Channel could lend itself to geekiness, but bananas?

[icepixie]

Apparently it is a grand pun. What's the episode title?

Heh, I thought you knew it and were commenting on its punnability. It's call "Poisoning the Well." It's about a doctor. Hee.

... Okay, I can see how the Weather Channel could lend itself to geekiness, but bananas?

He made bananas geeky with his obsession.

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Heh, I thought you knew it and were commenting on its punnability. It's call "Poisoning the Well." It's about a doctor. Hee.

No, I was just hoping. And that's a great, subtle pun. I'm calling that my favorite episode ever already.

He made bananas geeky with his obsession.

It takes a special kind of person to be a banana geek.

[icepixie]

And that's a great, subtle pun. I'm calling that my favorite episode ever already.

It should be highly entertaining.

It takes a special kind of person to be a banana geek.

It does. And, um, there are screencaps that look wrong. Much like the frooze pops last year at SC. Poor, innocent Jonas...

[nuclearangel.livejournal.com]

- OMG, I had that plant once. Seriously. In under a year, it went from the top of my bookcase to having tendrils stretched all the way across the wall and entwined in the blinds. It was like the mega-plant of doom.

AH!! LOL!!!
I totally thought of you and your evil plant when I saw that thing! Hee!
Camulus was a cuties, even more so that last episode. I don't know why. And yes, Teal'c was grinning a whole lot this eppy.

- Bleh, vague indications of Sheppard/Teyla.

Yeah, I was wondering which 'ship was the most prominent... have you noticed where everyone is leaning in the fandom? - are you in the SG fandom?

[icepixie]

I totally thought of you and your evil plant when I saw that thing! Hee!

Mwahahaha! My evil plant that would rule the world, if I hadn't gotten rid of it!

Camulus was a cuties, even more so that last episode. I don't know why.

I think it was the non-weird clothing. And his hair didn't seem as greasy.

Yeah, I was wondering which 'ship was the most prominent... have you noticed where everyone is leaning in the fandom? - are you in the SG fandom?

Well, Sheppard/Weir seems to have a pretty decent amount of followers for it being only three weeks into the show. Nobody I know has expressed an interest in Sheppard/Teyla. Most people seem to have something against Teyla. (I can't imagine why...it's not like she's completely wooden or anything... [/sarcasm]) Beckett/McKay seems to be garnering rather a large following as well.

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

Thanks to Teyla's bizarre Jennifer Lopez resemblance, I've started calling her J-Faux. I think that's one of the reasons I can't deal with her.

[icepixie]

*snort!* I'm so stealing this now. It's perfect.

[edenadvance.livejournal.com]

waah x.x *scrolls* I'm still watching the first one x.x so slow.

[icepixie]

First one was good, too!

[edenadvance.livejournal.com]

lol I have about 10 minutes left to watch but I had to go to work

[pellmelody.livejournal.com]

- Is it just me, or is anyone else seeing more UST between Sheppard and Ford than Sheppard and Teyla?

Dude, all UST is coming just from Teyla, not John AND Teyla. Totally.

- Ooooh, Elizabeth's angsting as they try the salt and water and John screams...

Oooo yes she was. Those were serious screams too. And notice how scared and impatient she was after Ford zapped John and was waiting for him to zap John again to bring him back around? And then she later had to sit down when John was okay. *melts*

- She SO called him on how that wasn't what he was going to say! (Heh, it was probably something like, "Great sex last night, Elizabeth!" Or I could be projecting.) Hee, the flirting is so amusing. Yay John/Elizabeth UST!

As much as I'd LOVE to say John would tell her how much he cares for her, etc., I think he was going to thank her for bringing him with her and involving him in the expedition. Okay, I know. Lame.

[icepixie]

Dude, all UST is coming just from Teyla, not John AND Teyla. Totally.

I wasn't even getting anything from Teyla (or J.Faux, as I am now calling her thanks to trickster_). It was totally concern for a teammate on the same level as Ford's. Hell, less than Ford's. I hope TPTB keep it like this, 'cause she and John just have no chemistry whatsoever.

Oooo yes she was. Those were serious screams too. And notice how scared and impatient she was after Ford zapped John and was waiting for him to zap John again to bring him back around? And then she later had to sit down when John was okay. *melts*

The having to sit down part was just awesome, as was the preceding scarediness and impatientness. After the ep ended, she totally berated him for nearly giving her multiple heart attacks.

As much as I'd LOVE to say John would tell her how much he cares for her, etc., I think he was going to thank her for bringing him with her and involving him in the expedition. Okay, I know. Lame.

Not really lame, and the most probable. Not as much funw ithout the porn, but hey, likely is good too. ;)

[castalianspring.livejournal.com]

- Major Davis! Wheee!

Whee, indeed! I adore Major Davis. I wish he'd gotten more to do in this ep, but I hold on to the hope that he'll be back for more eps this season.

- Um, Jack? You seem to have an unusual lack of dedication to getting "your" team back, and little in the way of private angst over it outside of the locker room.

I thought so, too. That may be the biggest reason I didn't feel much of a sense of urgency during all this. He didn't really seem as angsty as I would have expected.

- Jack, sweetie, being rule-bound like that is a great way to get people killed.

Yes! When was that rule invented? They've always let SG1 through the gate before, no matter where they'd been. Geez. Jack said something about not knowing whether or not their code had been compromised, but dude, he was talking to them, he knew who they were.

- I'm never gonna get tired of these credits. (It's the choir. Put a choir in anything and I'm happy; I'm that big of a choir geek.)

Oh my, yes. I love the credits. The theme is terrific, sort of the SG1 theme with a minor twist, and I loooove the inclusion of the choir. Perfect.

- "Well, you have a cling-on." *cracks up* I love Beckett! I love him! I want to hug him and squeeze him and call him Pippin! (I take it the producers realized that people would start calling him "Scotty" early on...)

Heh. They could also make McCoy jokes, since he's the doctor and all.

- Beckett? Are you calling Ford "son"? That's...weird.

Did he? That's odd. Ford's young and all, but...I dunno, maybe it's a Scottish thing.

And does anyone know what else the actor has been in? He looks a lot like the guy who played Ed on Northern Exposure, but I looked him up, and it's actually a guy named Ben Cotton. Anyone?

I didn't recognize him, but IMDB says he's guested on Smallville, so I saw him then.

- Is it just me, or is anyone else seeing more UST between Sheppard and Ford than Sheppard and Teyla?

There's more UST b/w Sheppard and the PuddleJumper than b/w him and Teyla.

- Okay, third time with the stock shot of the city. It's awesome, don't get me wrong, but did they spend the entire season's effects budget on it?

I kinda like it as a transition back to the show after each commercial break. A good way to make sure I don't miss any dialogue when editing out commercials. So many series have them talking immediately after the break, so it's easy to miss stuff.

Three great eps in a row! This show is really on a roll :)

[icepixie]

I thought so, too. That may be the biggest reason I didn't feel much of a sense of urgency during all this. He didn't really seem as angsty as I would have expected.

I think that was my main gripe, too.

Yes! When was that rule invented? They've always let SG1 through the gate before, no matter where they'd been. Geez. Jack said something about not knowing whether or not their code had been compromised, but dude, he was talking to them, he knew who they were.

I was so confuzzled. Um, hello, they were on the radio...maybe you can't be absolutely certain it isn't someone impersonating them, or that they aren't being held hostage and made to say these things, but still!

Heh. They could also make McCoy jokes, since he's the doctor and all.

Oh, yes, they could. "I'm a doctor, not a jumper pilot/Gate technician/Wraith-bait!"

Did he? That's odd. Ford's young and all, but...I dunno, maybe it's a Scottish thing.

I think that's what he said, but it might have been "sir." Couldn't really tell with the accent.

There's more UST b/w Sheppard and the PuddleJumper than b/w him and Teyla.

Bwahahaha! So true! OMG, I wanna see someone write this now.

I kinda like it as a transition back to the show after each commercial break.

It worked this time because the show operated in something resembling real time, so the sun wouldn't get too far up. But if they do that in the future, when they're all over time-of-day-wise, it might start looking very odd.

A good way to make sure I don't miss any dialogue when editing out commercials. So many series have them talking immediately after the break, so it's easy to miss stuff.

Yeah--much as I hated the Sci-Fi Bitch of yore, she was good at letting you know that the show was going to be back on in ten seconds.

[castalianspring.livejournal.com]

I was so confuzzled. Um, hello, they were on the radio...maybe you can't be absolutely certain it isn't someone impersonating them, or that they aren't being held hostage and made to say these things, but still!

True. Not to mention, in the past they don't usually even call to ask if the iris is open. They just send the code and go through. I've often thought that was a good way to get someone killed - after all, what if the gate techician was just a little slow in opening the iris, or there was a malfunction? I'd be calling in just to check the damn thing was open so I wouldn't go squish.

Oh, yes, they could. "I'm a doctor, not a jumper pilot/Gate technician/Wraith-bait!"

Bwah! This is going to be such a fun little fandom. Beckett is just the coolest thing ever *snuggles him*

Bwahahaha! So true! OMG, I wanna see someone write this now.

Don't tempt me! But yeah, it would be a lovely thing to post over on anthropomor_fic...

True. I loved the real-time thing - added to the MASHness I was feeling with both Stargates tonight.

Yeah--much as I hated the Sci-Fi Bitch of yore, she was good at letting you know that the show was going to be back on in ten seconds.

Heh, yeah. And they used to have the actors for series saying "This is Sci-Fi" and stuff during breaks so you'd know. That was helpful!

[icepixie]

ITA! I've always wondered about the base commander having to give the command to open the iris even when the IDC's been sent. I mean, Hammond (and now Jack) could never get anything else done with having to be in the control room all the time!

Don't tempt me! But yeah, it would be a lovely thing to post over on anthropomor_fic...

Y'know, we've been discussing Gate/Puddle-Jumper OTP on sheppard_n_weir over at YahooGroups. It's sort of scarily graphic, if you have a good imagination. Oh, and also how SG-1 are sperm, because...um...yeah. Shutting up now.

Heh, yeah. And they used to have the actors for series saying "This is Sci-Fi" and stuff during breaks so you'd know. That was helpful!

I want those back!

Yes! Surely the commanding officer can't be there *every* time a team comes through. Scheduling just wouldn't allow for it. Perhaps it's only for an unscheduled off-world activation, but even then, geez. Not always time for them to go get the general.

*sporfle!* Omg, that's hysterical. I can certainly follow the analogy...hee. What a lovely visual...

I guess I could buy it if he only came in there for unscheduled ones when he was at the base, near the control room, and he just so happened to get there before the IDC came through, and could then look all cool giving the order. I'll just say those are the only times we see him, 'cause otherwise my brain would explode from the lack of logic.

*sporfle!* Omg, that's hysterical. I can certainly follow the analogy...hee. What a lovely visual...

Gate porn! Wheeee!!!

[spockette.livejournal.com]

Beckett? Are you calling Ford "son"? That's...weird.

Actually, I loved that bit - it made me squee out of Love For Regional Accuracy. Someone on the writing staff is either Glaswegian or has spent time in Glasgow, 'cause EVERY Weedgie calls everyone "son." And depending on the persons height, either "wee man," or "big man."

[icepixie]

Oh! Okay, if it's regional, it's all good. I was just like, "Um, are you trying to make like a creepy Catholic priest? 'Cause that would totally ruin any respect I have for you." Glad to know it's not that.

[castalianspring.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for this info! How very keen.

[babylil.livejournal.com]

First, Zero Hour.

Totally with you on them using up all their RDA time. Still, it was a great ep, and therefore worth it.

- Dude, Teal'c's practically on happy gas. He's smiling all over the place.

My theory on that is that Chris Judge simply couldn't keep a straight face in that scene - if you look at him right before Teal'c and Daniel turn to leave, he's practically bursting - so they let Teal'c smile rather than do fifteen takes.

- Hmmm, looks like Camulus got a makeover. He's actually sort of attractive.

Dude, he's Steve Bacic! *thud*

And now, Thirty Eight Minutes (which, dude, I'm loving this show!)

- Bleh, vague indications of Sheppard/Teyla.

I'm totally not warming to that 'ship. Or, in fact, to Teyla at all. (Although I love you for showing me how to spell her name - it was bugging me that I couldn't quite figure out how they were pronouncing it, and I kept forgetting to look it up. I like to know how to spell things...)

- Is it just me, or is anyone else seeing more UST between Sheppard and Ford than Sheppard and Teyla?

Totally.

- Wheeee! John with no shirt! [/hormonal fangirl]

Oh, Becca, how far you've come *g*

Totally with you on them using up all their RDA time. Still, it was a great ep, and therefore worth it.

I was expecting them to go back to the rest of SG-1 all through the ep. ;)

My theory on that is that Chris Judge simply couldn't keep a straight face in that scene - if you look at him right before Teal'c and Daniel turn to leave, he's practically bursting - so they let Teal'c smile rather than do fifteen takes.

Hee! Okay, that makes sense. Poor Chris...after SG-1 is over, he needs to land himself a role in a comedy.

Dude, he's Steve Bacic! *thud*

*has never heard of Steve Bacic before Camulus*

I'm totally not warming to that 'ship. Or, in fact, to Teyla at all. (Although I love you for showing me how to spell her name - it was bugging me that I couldn't quite figure out how they were pronouncing it, and I kept forgetting to look it up. I like to know how to spell things...)

Teyla bores me like a big boring thing. I don't know whether it's the fault of the actress or the writers. The casting sheets said that Teyla/Sheppard was going to be canon UST, but now the writers have said publically that there's not going to be any 'ship on Atlantis if they can help it ('cause they're still smarting over the brouhaha with Pete).

- Is it just me, or is anyone else seeing more UST between Sheppard and Ford than Sheppard and Teyla?

Totally.

Good to know. J-Faux needs to take her people and go far, far away.

Oh, Becca, how far you've come *g*

Hee! Atlantis has some mighty fine eye candy in Sheppard and Beckett (and hell, Weir too).

Actually, I only know him through SG-1 too. He's played a few other roles where you couldn't see his face (for example, an Unas, I think), but I saw him at a convention (SG-7), and dude, he's hot.

Ah. Cool.

- Daniel would so be allergic to that plant. (Janet, too. *sniff*)

I know... I missed her so much when I finally got the chance to watch last weeks episode with the new doctor lady. I was half expecting Daniel or Sam to say "I miss Janet," when they were in the infirmary for any of the given reasons.

- Hmmm, looks like Camulus got a makeover. He's actually sort of attractive.

I think it was the prisoner fatigues and only having one bottle of hair grease on his head as compared to the two it seemed he had last time. :)

- So what's up with the funkily-cut shirt on Weir? And why is she always wearing civvies when everyone else is in the uniform? And, dude, heels? With all those staircases? Man, she's braver than I.

The prospect of wearing heels of any sort for any given amount of time - *especially* if there are stairs involved - rather terrifies me because I've had too many close encounters with falling on my face and breaking something important while wearing them. Gimme thick soles over heels any day... I find that they are a much safer way to make myself two inches taller. :)

- I'm never gonna get tired of these credits. (It's the choir. Put a choir in anything and I'm happy; I'm that big of a choir geek.)

I was happily "ooo" and "aaaah" ing over them myself... So pretty... ::is distracted by the pretty:: (or at least the memory of the pretty)

- "Well, you have a cling-on." *cracks up* I love Beckett! I love him! I want to hug him and squeeze him and call him Pippin!

I know! Dude, I squee whenever he comes on... and squeed even more at that line! He is fast becoming one of the proud few that have the honor of being called one of my boy-os (So far only Gabriel from Witchblade and Bruce from Dead Zone have that honor... though Marcus from Babylon 5 is very very close. ;) )

- OMG, Weir so ROCKS! "I haven't worked up to humiliation!" Hee! She's fabulous! And dude, Cavanaugh so has a crush on her. I predict McKay-on-SG-1-when-Sam-was-around levels of assiness. Hehehehe.

Oh, yeah, had to be one of the best speeches ever! I was like... "Fuck yeah, go Weir!" the entire time that braided prat was whining! And the braided prat kinda reminded me of one of Quinn's doubles from Sliders, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't Jerry O'Connal... Jerry has prettier hair. ::nods nods::

And wow, I'm geeking over this series waaaay more then I origionally thought I would. And I think it's mostly due to Beckette. Wheee!

*sniff* I hope the new doctor lady grows into her role...she seemed sort of stiff in the last ep.

I think it was the prisoner fatigues and only having one bottle of hair grease on his head as compared to the two it seemed he had last time. :)

Yeah, the lack of hair grease was a nice thing.

I live in fear of breaking an ankle at ballroom comps. Chunky heels aren't nearly as bad as those stilleto things.

Beckett is awesome. And the accent... *swoons*

Oh, yeah, had to be one of the best speeches ever! I was like... "Fuck yeah, go Weir!" the entire time that braided prat was whining!

Hmmm...I think I know which double you're talking about, but this guy reminded me more of Ed from Northern Exposure. The facial structure is exactly the same, and also there's the black hair.

Yaaaay Atlantis geeking!
