icepixieShorter 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.

Date: 2005-07-30 08:08 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2005-07-30 01:14 pm (UTC)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.

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...

*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.

Maybe that's it. Or maybe I read it in a book somewhere. (And anyway,
