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!

Date: 2004-08-01 06:40 am (UTC)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
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.
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!

Date: 2004-08-01 04:24 pm (UTC)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
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.

I want those back!

Date: 2004-08-02 02:20 am (UTC)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...

Date: 2004-08-02 04:29 pm (UTC)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.

Gate porn! Wheeee!!!
