Sci-Fi Friday!

[icepixie]

Shorter and shallower comments than usual this week. *shrug*

Also, why was I not watching this in a room with a couple hundred Scapers? *pouts*

SG-1: Origin
- Nice city set. Pretty.

- Aw, poor Vala.

- Dude. You know Ben totally had an RL equivalent of Grandma and St. Hilda's.

- Aaaaaaand it's a Goa'uld clone, complete with glowing eyes and electronically-modulated voice!

- That funky collar is kind of creeping me out.

- *still giggling over "Harrid and Sallis"*

- I want Vala's purple cloak. Preeeetty.

- Kawoosh!

- Vala...in pigtails? I...oh my.

- "Who's counting?" "Teal'c." Ha!




Atlantis: Runner

Probably this whole thing can be summed up with "Jason Momoa is pretty," but I'll get a little more detailed...

- Poor put-upon Major Lorne.

- Okay, I just watched the X-Files episode "Detour," which is about scary red-eyed men living and killing in "North Florida." It looks very much like it was filmed in these exact same woods, and, given that XF was still in BC at the time, it's not unlikely that it was. Nightmares, people, nightmares.

- Rodney has a snazzy new shirt.

- "I'm very fair, etc. etc." And then Weir gives him that fabulous "disappointed mom" look, and Rodney just crumples. "This isn't fair." BWAH!

- "95% of deadly is still deadly!"

- Can I get Rodney's sunscreen recipe? No, really. I would kill for some SPF 100, as SPF 50 just DOESN'T SEEM TO BE CUTTING IT ANYMORE.

- Teyla's using Ford's first name again. Ship of convenience! Although I'd be really amused to see her and McKay together for a while. Hee.

- Mmmm, flashbacks.

- "That's just reckless."

- And Rodney gets the smackdown from Major Lorne. Hee.

- "The fumes from the sunblock are making me dizzy." It's wrong to laugh at someone else's pain, but it's so funny...

- Ooooh, yes, take the shirt off...

- Um, does Ronan play Wraith knucklebones with himself when he's bored?

- MCKAY shot someone? MCKAY?

- OMG, Rodney hanging upside down from the tree is just about the funniest thing I've ever seen.




BSG

- First of all, and above all else: halle-freakin'-lujah, they moved the three big plots along! THANK YOU! I was starting to get quite pissed about the lack of movement.

- "beyond the vale of tears" - is this a quote from something famous? It sounds very familiar.

- Heh, they removed Adama's spleen. Nick, were you in the operating room during this episode?

- "Why aren't you in the brig?" "Uh....because no one put me there." Every week, I come to love Billy just a little more.

- They seem to have replaced the Shaky!Cam with FunkyAngle!Cam. Neither are great, but I much prefer this. Apparently the gods chose to bestow the gift of a tripod, woo-hoo!

- Is that a rosary?

- Aw, Cally just joined to pay for dental school? Poor Cally!

- And Tyrol is ten times the officer you are, Crashdown.

- "We take the scriptures as literal truth on Geminon." THANK YOU! I've been wanting to hear something about what differentiates the cultures of each colony since I started watching this show. (Of course, the question now is whether the Geminons do things like play with dangerous snakes...) I wonder if that translates, in general, to political conservativism like it does in American politics?

- "False gods" - it's just been that kind of night.

- The Cylon god's not a very nice god if he turns his back on an entire planet...

- *jaw drops* Daaaaaaayum.

- Tyrol's first name is Dave? Why is this striking me as so funny?

- I kind of wanted to see Six break out into a rendition of "And Always Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide." But not really. (And if she's his conscience, hoo boy...)

- This show makes me want to do the television equivalent of underlining sentences and making notes in the margins. Is such a good show. I am such an English major.

Is that a rosary?

Geminon equivalent.

Tyrol's first name is Dave?

Actually it's Galen.

[icepixie]

Geminon equivalent.

Longer and lighter, apparently.

Tyrol's first name is Dave?

Actually it's Galen.

Really? Then who's Dave, and why was everyone calling his name?

[chiroho.livejournal.com]

Then who's Dave, and why was everyone calling his name?

They're calling Chief. I just re-watched the scene towards the end where they're being shot at, and Baltar is calling him Chief. It just happens to sound a bit like Dave the way he says it.

[icepixie]

I thought Cally was saying it too, though. (I actually don't remember Baltar saying it.) But I don't have the ep on tape to rewatch.

[chiroho.livejournal.com]

Ah, the joys of a BT download. ;)

Why weren't you watching in a room of Scapers?

[elflore.livejournal.com]

But you *are*, dear Becca...couldn't you see us?

*SqueezyHuggle*

Love you (platonically)!

John (Elf), somewhere watching scifi friday with ya...

*puts on glasses* Heeeeey!

John (Elf), somewhere watching scifi friday with ya...

Well, there is VSC2K5 happening, so that's pretty close...

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Although I'd be really amused to see her and McKay together for a while. Hee.

Wow, that would be awesome. It would be weeks of laughter. :)

[icepixie]

It would! Rodney would be all smug and fawning, Teyla would be amused and then more and more exasperated, and she'd try to teach him to hold a gun without the clip falling out, and he'd bore her to death with scientific jargon, and it would only take about three episodes before they realize they can't actually stand each other in that kind of relationship and break up amicably (but amusingly).

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

Right after the break-up, he'd totally walk into a room with a black eye because he was so frustrating while ending it that Teyla of all people couldn't resist punching him in the face. Various Atlantis crew members cheer when Rodney's back is turned.

You know, McKay is a lot like Rygel to me. I find it funny when he's hurt or in danger. There's just a certain bit of arrogance they both have that makes their pain funny.

Yes. This would so happen.

You know, you're right. I can see that. (And it amuses me greatly.)

[wildtiger7.livejournal.com]

And if she's his conscience, hoo boy...

I was all, "what conscience"? How can you be a conscience if you don't have one yourself? What kind of God do you worship, anyway? When she was talking about being a murderer makes you human, I was really rooting for Baltar to smack her. Alas, he has never thought about such things.

[icepixie]

What kind of God do you worship, anyway?

I think it's an even nastier version of the Old Testament God. My first thought when she said, "God has turned his back on Kobol" was, "Well, this God is gonna get debunked and fast..." God is obviously a very conditional kind of love for Six. ;)

When she was talking about being a murderer makes you human, I was really rooting for Baltar to smack her. Alas, he has never thought about such things.

Now that would be fun.

[orangetango.livejournal.com]

Oh man. Oh man. I cannot wait till Jon gets back on campus with every episode taped for me . . .

[icepixie]

And we can watch new eps in the Mather Wellness lounge!

[laserhead.livejournal.com]

Assuming I let you , of course! Wink wink. Since we'll be in their for 'gate eps.

[icepixie]

Oh, you know you'll stay around after Atlantis 'cause you don't have work or comps or anything like that to do... ;)

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

Dude. You know Ben totally had an RL equivalent of Grandma and St. Hilda's.

I totally wanted to know if this Grandma is related to John Crichton's Aunt Ruth.

Vala...in pigtails? I...oh my.

I AM WEARING MY HAIR LIKE THAT TOMORROW.

Can I get Rodney's sunscreen recipe? No, really. I would kill for some SPF 100, as SPF 50 just DOESN'T SEEM TO BE CUTTING IT ANYMORE.


I don't know if you've ever heard the like, Bud Light (?) commercials where they throw shout-outs to "everyday heroes", like Mr. SPF80, where they tease him for being able to pop open a cold one in the middle of the Sahara Desert at noon, or having EIGHTY HOURS OF PROTECTION FROM THE SUN.

MCKAY shot someone? MCKAY?

MCKAY SHOT FORD. FORD.

Aw, Cally just joined to pay for dental school? Poor Cally!

But otherwise she wouldn't have been offplanet when the Cylons attacked...

Tyrol's first name is Dave? Why is this striking me as so funny?

Dave and Natalie. Natalie and Dave. Hm. I can deal with it.

[spleeny.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you've ever heard the like, Bud Light (?) commercials where they throw shout-outs to "everyday heroes"

Previously it was "Real American Heroes." It is now "Real Men of Genius." They are hysterical. And it is, indeed, Bud Light. I have the first 30 or so on my computer.

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

WANT.

[icepixie]

I totally wanted to know if this Grandma is related to John Crichton's Aunt Ruth.

You know they are.

I AM WEARING MY HAIR LIKE THAT TOMORROW.

Hee!

Oh, if only SPF 80 would do that to meeeeee...

MCKAY SHOT FORD. FORD.

I KNOW.

But otherwise she wouldn't have been offplanet when the Cylons attacked...

True. And yet, now she has to spend all the time until Earth doing the military thing when she'd rather be poking at people's teeth...

Dave and Natalie. Natalie and Dave. Hm. I can deal with it.

I feel like I've heard that name combination somewhere before...

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

You know they are.

*blink* You know, if Aunt Ruth came from Mama Crichton's side of the family, that would explain a lot...

I feel like I've heard that name combination somewhere before...

I almost dated Scientologist Dave...

And I totally am wearing pigtails.

[icepixie]

*blink* You know, if Aunt Ruth came from Mama Crichton's side of the family, that would explain a lot...

Wouldn't it, though?

I almost dated Scientologist Dave...

Maybe that's it. Or maybe I read it in a book somewhere. (And anyway, chiroho says Tyrol's first name is actually Galen, so I have no idea who Dave is. I just know I heard the name during all that shouting right before they were picked up.

And I totally am wearing pigtails.

Hee!

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

I can totally see myself with a Galen. Actually, the name just made him more attractive.

[icepixie]

Hee. When I hear "Galen," I automatically think of the bald technomage from Crusade, but anyway...

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

And I have no idea what that even means, so I'll stick with my happiness. =)

[icepixie]

He was a cool character played by Peter Wood.

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

Ah. Okay.

But I think "Galen" and think "Gale". See icon for hotness.

[icepixie]

He's rather pretty...

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

You should see him naked.

[icepixie]

Oh my.

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

You're just lucky I don't have enough time to find a picture. *g*

[icepixie]

*gulp*

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

Okay, so you just get the upper front half. But it's a damn fine upper front half.
