Sci-Fi Friday!

SG-1

It's still not exactly gripping TV, but this was a lot better than most of last season, so I'll take it. There were wisecracks, there was plot, there was cool ancient tech...I can handle that in the hour before the two shows I really like come on.

Ramblings:
- BEN! Wooooooo-hooooooo!

- "I like yelling at people." Heh.

- Again, much love for Ben's accent, 'cause it's natural and he doesn't overdo it. So much love.

- Daniel, I... Okay, have you all not learned yet that facial hair is not a good look for SG-1? Can we get this in our heads?

- SG-Me. *snerk*

- Sam's new hair still makes me happy. And she "has [her] reasons for wanting this job," does she? *coughcough*

- Okay, the linguist chick is scaring me. The pushup guy, and Mitchell's reaction to him, makes me grin.

- CLAUDIA! Wheeee!

- "I know we haven't met." *snerk* Oh, the irony in this episode.

- "My" Daniel? Say wha?

- "...rather interesting but somewhat limited gene pool." *Daniel and Mitchell look at each other* OMG. I laughed so hard at this. You would not believe.

- Is it just me, or do the gold bracelets remind anyone of those slap bracelets all over my elementary school?

- Is MS taking on Claudia's accent? 'Cause it sounds like he is in scenes with her.

- Pillow fight!

- "Let's make babies!" *giggle*

- Aaaaand Mitchell's proving himself to be a bit O'Neillish in rather the same way as Sheppard, sort of...

- Merlin's an Ancient. Actually...that kind of makes sense.

- Glastonbury! Dude! I was there! You know, it's probably a good thing this didn't air before I went there, or I would've spent the entire time hunting for Ancient storage chambers... ;)

- Hey, transport rings! Haven't seen those in a while.

- Daniel, I love you for getting the Excalibur info correct. *mwah*

- Daniel and Vala are reminding me rather a lot of Rygel and Chiana, and Mitchell of John in mediation mode. Just sayin'.

- "How much worse could it get?" / "I knew I shouldn't have said it the moment I said it" (or something). *snerk*





Atlantis

Even better than the first two parts. S2 looks to be off to a kick-ass start, which makes me happy. :)

- Aw, Lizzie was so sad when she thought John was dead! Her amazed, "John?" when he talked to her over the radio was fantastic.

- And Rodney's got his Christmas present for life...

- "What say we." I think it's a sign that I was mainlining BSG too much last week that I immediately went, "So say we all." Oy.

- Wait...no pretty credits? Are they coming back next week?

- Rodney, you are such an adorable little snot.

- *snort!* And Rodney drops the clip. Nice going.

- "Don't scare me like that." *basks in S/W shippiness*

- And Rodney then forgets his gun. He's batting a thousand here.

- Will someone take away my shipper card if I say that the bumper with Beckett giving Weir that really intense look/smile kind of makes me wonder what it would be like to ship them?

- Squeeee! The hug, the hug, the hug! And then the conversation afterwards! Eeeee! They are so doing it.

- The scene between Everett and John was nicely done. Understated, but got the point across.

- I want screencaps to make icons of John's angry expression right before whatever commercial break I wrote this down in. Hmm. Yeah. That.

- Novak is cracking me up. Was she in other Dedalus episodes?

- "They are angry--I can feel it." Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not turn Teyla into the new Counselor Troi. Just...no.

- Um, Ford, your eye is kind of creepy...

- Whoa, time to calm down, Ford. (And Teyla calls him "Aiden." Perhaps the Ford/Teyla ship of convenience has a sparkle of justification...)

- The ray goggles various people wear throughout this episode are making me flash back to "Till the Blood Runs Clear" from S1 Farscape. It's that kind of night, I guess.

- Yes, Rodney, the shield is very pretty when it's getting blown up.

- Heh, McKay and Zelenka geeking in tandem.

- "A week"/"Two hours." *snerk*

- Aw, Ford's not a happy little eager-to-please puppy anymore. :(

- Shiiiiiiiny shield.

- I love the ending. Nice arc-material starting. (And nice John/Lizzie interaction, too. But you knew I was gonna say that.)




BSG
I wasn't expecting anyone to be able to top the teaser of KLG1, much less the rest of the two episodes, so I'm not surprised that this one wasn't quite as good. They didn't advance the plot...well, at all, really, but they did some good character stuff, so that's okay. I especially liked Tyrol taking charge and Cally handling things outside the hangar. Helo and both Sharons got some nice stuff to work with, too.

- DUDE. Moustache of doom on younger!Adama. Ow.

- Tigh hesitates more than is good for him. Probably why he's the XO and not the commander. I like that they've kept this trait consistent enough for me to notice it across episodes.

- Whoopsie. Um, fleet? Hello?

- And they shortened these credits, too? No more drums at the end? :(

- And Baltar goes further into the Land O' Crazy. No, you can't have babies with a figment of your imagination.

- Love love love the conversation about hearing birds on the planet. Great touch.

- "Bitch took my ride." Um, is Starbuck actually Jaye Tyler in disguise? No, seriously.

- SPLEEN!

- Poor Sharon. s. :(

You stop channeling Kate right now. Because ewwwwwwwww I really needed that MI of Rygel and Chiana. Actually Vala reminds me alot of Chiana as far as the stuff that comes out of her month.

- "Don't scare me like that." *basks in S/W shippiness*

I think I became a full blown shipper in that moment

- Squeeee! The hug, the hug, the hug! And then the conversation afterwards! Eeeee! They are so doing it.

I can't believe I missed it both times it aired.

- And Baltar goes further into the Land O' Crazy. No, you can't have babies with a figment of your imagination.

Okay I just started watching (what can I say I'm a follower). Is Number Six and old girlfriend that died or something?

- Poor Sharon. s. :(

Yes poor Sharon but how many are there of her?

Just the bickering!

Yeah, she does. I remember how we were all wanting to see Claudia in a comedic role when...I forget what episode it was, but it was a long time ago. Anyway, looks like we got our wish.

It was good. You should see it sometime. :)

Hee!

Is Number Six and old girlfriend that died or something?

She was his girlfriend before Caprica and the other colonies got all blowed up. She's a Cylon (which he didn't know at the time), so she can't die, technically. Well, the body can die, but the consciousness is transfered to another Six model somewhere. So she's still running around with the other Cylons on Caprica, but she put a chip into Baltar's head that...well, let's just say she's a prettier Harvey. 'Cause that's exactly what it's like.

Yes poor Sharon but how many are there of her?

(I was so here last week.) Lengthy explanation in the Sarah's comments to this post. The short version is "many." The two we know a lot about are Caprica-Sharon, who knows she's a Cylon, and Galactica-Sharon, who's been doing Cylon bidding for a while without figuring out that she's not human.

[cheapevilgirl.livejournal.com]

Just the bickering!

I love the bickering. Bickering/Banter are two of my biggest turn ons for a ship. (okay sounded a bit wrong) But still get that MI out of my head. And if I start shipping Rygel and Chi because of this I'm coming after you.



Yeah, she does. I remember how we were all wanting to see Claudia in a comedic role when...I forget what episode it was, but it was a long time ago. Anyway, looks like we got our wish.

Won't Get Fooled Again. Vala's sort of cross between Batina and Chi.

It was good. You should see it sometime. :)

Pretty sure I'll see it in the next vid someone post.

You know Jodie said that she thought she was a Harvey but I wasn't sure. So is she trying to get him to do bad bad things?

So what is because I guessing most Cylon's don't normally go around being all good and human. And from what I got from Galactica Sharon she's not bad at all. Is she really having a baby?

[icepixie]

Moo ha ha. I was shipping them for a short while in S1. Yes, I was.

You know Jodie said that she thought she was a Harvey but I wasn't sure. So is she trying to get him to do bad bad things?

The original Six, the one not in Baltar's head, used him to get information about Caprica/the Colonies' defense system that the Cylons then used to blow the planets up. Harvey-Six is much more of a shades of grey character--we're not entirely sure that she's not just a figment of Baltar's imagination. Well, okay, it's pretty obvious she isn't, but it hasn't been conclusively proven. Anyway, she sometimes helps him, sometimes makes him do bad things, sometimes both...for example, he tested Galactica-Sharon for Cylonness and when the test came up positive, Six told him not to let her know the results, or her Cylon programming would take over, and she would kill him. So, good for Baltar, in that he remained alive, but bad for everyone Sharon's harmed since then. The rest of their interactions are kind of along those lines.

So what is because I guessing most Cylon's don't normally go around being all good and human. And from what I got from Galactica Sharon she's not bad at all. Is she really having a baby?

The "Sharon" model of Cylon apparently has always had troubles with doing Eeeeville Cylon things, at least according to Six and the Kevin Spacey-lookalike on Caprica. Galactica-Sharon is obviously not understanding she's a Cylon, so maybe it's like she has a good personality and a bad one that are completely separate. Caprica-Sharon appears to be having a baby, but that could be ruse. She's been morning sick a couple times, but could be faking. I'm not sure how it would be physically possible for a Cylon to have a baby with a human, but given the whole thing with Baltar, Six, and their "baby," this plot seems very important in the grand scheme of things.

Your evil you know that.

WOW she really is Harvey only without all the funny.

Now that you metion that. I had a thought when I saw that scene. I knew that Sharon was pregant but what if it wasn't even her baby. What if it was Baltar and Six's baby that somehow got put in Sharon. Yes yes I know I watch too many soaps.

Another question does Sharon's lover know their are two of her?

[icepixie]

Your evil you know that.

*basks in glow of Eville*

Pretty much. She does get to assault Baltar in the bathroom, though, which is pretty fun.

Hmmm. I'm not quite seeing it, but I wouldn't put anything past these people.

Another question does Sharon's lover know their are two of her?

Uh, which lover? ;) Helo knows she's one of many copies, yes. Tyrol (the Hangar Chief; they broke up round about episode 10 of last season) doesn't know Galactica-Sharon is a Cylon.

[cheapevilgirl.livejournal.com]

Like I said too many soaps. My mind no longer go to the logical it goes start for the what would a soap writer do.

Helo is the only one I know of right now. He was the one screaming at Starbuck not to kill her right? Another question who is the father?

Hehehe.

Yes, he was. Presumably he's the father, as he's the only one that copy of Sharon has had sex with.
