icepixieIn 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...)![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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!

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.
