The weekly deathmatch

[icepixie]

SG-1: Avatar

*yawn* Where did my interest in this season go? The same place they put the interesting episodes?

Um, yeah. Maybe if I were a video game addict, I might have liked this one more. As it is, I wish they'd used the whole supersoldier bit to actually, y'know, advance the supersoldier arc. Still, this one was a bit better than last week's, I suppose. Can we get to the decent episodes now?

- "You have failed." I don't know whether it adds to or takes away the sting when Teal'c smiles as he's saying this.

- "Make it harder." *giggle* I think a Levitra commercial was shown around this time, too.

- Ooooh! Someone needs to write Sam-and-Jack-watch-The-Matrix-movies fic!

- Heh, Teal'c plays Doom.

- Grrr, Gamekeeper. Didn't like that ep.

- It's still weird to hear "Colonel" when someone's talking to Sam.

- Dr. Carmichael? I thought they had a Dr. Brightman last time. Are we playing musical doctors this season?

- It's the Sam and Danny show!

- Heh, everyone's pointing guns at each other. It's like Farscape.


Atlantis: Childhood's End

If SG-1 and Atlantis were having a deathmatch, I'd give this one to Atlantis. Again. Despite the unwelcome superficial imilarities to "Revisions," this one wasn't half-bad. The whole thing sort of reminded me of a clean version of "Taking the Stone." Only better. Mostly.

Ramblings:

- *SNORT* McKay! I feel the need to go and fight for Sam's honor or something. That insinuation was just nasty.

- "Yes. Energy field good."

- Um, y'all are gonna get killed real soon if you keep up this bickering. Especially you, McKay. Way to be a team player.

- Ah, John, you're so economical, wanting to save a perfectly good puddle-jumper. And how much do I love that they're acknowledging the finite amount of these things, unlike the Unlimited Shuttle Suppy of Voyager? *loves*

- Treehouses! Oh, it's so Peter Pan. So where's Tinkerbell?

- Or you could just go up the ladder the normal way, instead of trying to climb it sideways...

- So you won't assume that the planet's magnetic field is like Earth's, but you'll charge right ahead in the assumption that their year is the same as ours? Not that it was hard to assume that given how old the kids looked, but still.

- OMG, the talk about the sacrifice? I know, exposition and all, but damn. At least attempt to de-cheesify it and make it a little less of an exposition bomb.

- I have "He does have a point" written down, but I have no idea what it's in reference too. Might be McKay.

- Awww, John wants kids! I wanna see John/Lizzie kidfic now!

- "You're mean." BWAHAHAHAHA! *rolls on floor* I heart McKay trying to work with the kids around. Heh.

- "You guys know what chocolate is? This is gonna be huge." Hee.

- Why helloooooo, ZPM...

- "What are the odds of the Wraith coming back in the few hours McKay is running his tests?" Okay, John? You're new to this whole Stargate thing, so I'll give you a break this time. But generally, when something like that is done on a mission, the odds are pretty well 100%. It's this thing called "plot."

- "There's the slightest possibility that in my haste I may have broken it."

- Um, McKay? Treadmill and weight room for you, stat.

- Better living through chocolate!

- [Preview] It's Talmadge! Wheeee! [/Seven Days geek]

You never know. Keanu...he lies in wait...waiting to take his spleen back...

[icepixie]

Dude, no idea. This week's was a really boring FPS version of John Quixote.

It wasn't even much like JQ. I didn't see much evidence of bad crack usage, much less good crack.

I say if you're gonna do drugs, do the good ones. Take the good crack -- don't sit there eating library paste.

*giggle*

Didn't Damian write last week's ep too? The only good thing was that this ep would make a killer drinking game; just go for it any time someone dies.

Bwah! Yeah, it would've. And I had such high hopes for Damien--didn't he write Grace?

Hee! I'm pretty sure they've seen at least one Austin Powers movie together. (See Demons) Maybe during recuperation/isolation for their own protection?

*makes note to find tape of Demons* They could've watched the Matrix movies during isolation, but wouldn't it be more fun if they were on their own? *eg*

I thought they might kill themselves by jumping from the trees. That would be amusing.

Like TTS! Except trees instead of a big hole. And better hair when the wigs weren't on.

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

That must be made into an icon.

[icepixie]

I vote you do it. ;)

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Dammit... I have about 5 other icons I need to actually do already... Oh well.

This is revenge for me encouraging that fic, isn't it?

[tarzanic.livejournal.com]

It wasn't even much like JQ. I didn't see much evidence of bad crack usage, much less good crack.

True, there was no crack, just the very basic idea. Actually, it was more like XF's "First Person Shooter." Except that worked better.

Bwah! Yeah, it would've. And I had such high hopes for Damien--didn't he write Grace?

It'd certainly help someone get through it. I kinda wanted to sit and rest with Teal'c.

Wow, yeah, he did write Grace. Looking at what else he's written (http://www.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/episoderedux/writers.shtml), maybe he just kinda sucks when he's not focusing on Sam or Jack?

*makes note to find tape of Demons* They could've watched the Matrix movies during isolation, but wouldn't it be more fun if they were on their own? *eg*

It's a minor joke right at the beginning of Demons, but Sam cracks up while Daniel and Teal'c completely ignore it.

Oooh! Love to see whose idea it would be. ;) (Although now I'm wondering how they entertained themselves all those times they were stuck in the infirmary or confined to quarters.)

Like TTS! Except trees instead of a big hole. And better hair when the wigs weren't on.

Yep! < thunk > "Oh, he was a bad singer!"

Dude, they so had "A Prefect Murder" wigs. The Elder guy also had Escaped Mental Patient Hair without the wig. Poor dude.

[icepixie]

Dammit... I have about 5 other icons I need to actually do already... Oh well.

Who doesn't have a million icons to do already?

This is revenge for me encouraging that fic, isn't it?

It is. It is indeed.

[icepixie]

Maybe. *shudder*

Hee.

I just took that parenthetical remark to the Pornville Bank. Oh, my.

Dude, they so had "A Prefect Murder" wigs. The Elder guy also had Escaped Mental Patient Hair without the wig. Poor dude.

The hair was just sad all around.

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Who doesn't have a million icons to do already?

I don't. I only have 5. Weren't you paying attention?

It is. It is indeed.

At least I don't have a muse that's going to pester me about it until it's done. I'm museless and happy. :)

[icepixie]

I don't. I only have 5. Weren't you paying attention?

I see that hyperbole should be today's vocabulary word.

At least I don't have a muse that's going to pester me about it until it's done. I'm museless and happy. :)

You know, my angst muse recently took it upon herself to go and bug Kate. I could send another one your way...

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't be so hyper if you would stop giving it sugar.

You know, my angst muse recently took it upon herself to go and bug Kate. I could send another one your way...

Wouldn't work. I'm naturally muse-resistant.

[icepixie]

It wouldn't be so hyper if you would stop giving it sugar.

I guess I could stop putting sugar in its fertilizer...

Wouldn't work. I'm naturally muse-resistant.

You know that's like waving a red flag in front of them, right? And do you remember saying that about getting on the dance floor at ScaperCon...?

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

You know that's like waving a red flag in front of them, right?

Yeah, but on the other hand it's true, so nothing can happen to me. Take that, muses!

And do you remember saying that about getting on the dance floor at ScaperCon...?

That was different. That was the end of a four-year-old running joke. It needed the punchline, so I had to allow myself to be dragged onto the floor in the name of comedy.

[icepixie]

Yeah, but on the other hand it's true, so nothing can happen to me. Take that, muses!

They'll get you. They'll find little cracks in your resistance and worm their way in and yell at you until you fall to their evil tricks.

That's not what you were saying at the time...

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

They'll get you. They'll find little cracks in your resistance and worm their way in and yell at you until you fall to their evil tricks.

Tell them to do their worst. No good will come of it. Well, some good will. I'll laugh a bit at the futile attempts, and laughter is good.

That's not what you were saying at the time...

That was part of the joke. I did tell Rachel that it was the perfect punchline, though.

[icepixie]

Tell them to do their worst. No good will come of it. Well, some good will. I'll laugh a bit at the futile attempts, and laughter is good.

Hmmm...well, at least it keeps them out of my hair for a while. *shoos off muses* Go attack Nick!

That was part of the joke.

Oh, go ahead and rationalize it...the rest of us know the truth...

I did tell Rachel that it was the perfect punchline, though.

If I weren't so lazy, I'd go and verify this...

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...well, at least it keeps them out of my hair for a while. *shoos off muses* Go attack Nick!

You know, I'm going to expect compensation for entertaining your muses for a while.

Oh, go ahead and rationalize it...the rest of us know the truth...

Or do you?

If I weren't so lazy, I'd go and verify this...

She apologized for dragging me onto the floor and I told her it was the perfect punchline. It's true!

[icepixie]

You know, I'm going to expect compensation for entertaining your muses for a while.

*raises eyebrow* What kind of compensation?

Or do you?

Yes.

She apologized for dragging me onto the floor and I told her it was the perfect punchline. It's true!

Hmmmm...

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

*raises eyebrow* What kind of compensation?

$5 per muse per day, plus 7% muse tax. Plus tip.

Hmmmm...

She can confirm it if you can get in touch with her. And if she doesn't, then she's just being a mean little sister.

[icepixie]

$5 per muse per day, plus 7% muse tax. Plus tip.

Can I pay you in Monopoly money?

She can confirm it if you can get in touch with her. And if she doesn't, then she's just being a mean little sister.

Well, I think getting her to answer e-mail would take an act of God, so we'll leave it at that.

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Can I pay you in Monopoly money?

Sure. As long as you also pay me in legal tender.

Well, I think getting her to answer e-mail would take an act of God, so we'll leave it at that.

So her default position since we're better off not trying is that she agrees with her brother. I win!

[icepixie]

Sure. As long as you also pay me in legal tender.

*quickly makes counterfeit money*

Bah. Okay, whatever. *g*

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

*quickly makes counterfeit money*

It better be high quality counterfeiting, because if I go down I'm taking you with me.

[icepixie]

Uh-oh...

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

I guess you'd better get back to work on that.
