Showdown at the Stargate Corrall
Sep. 10th, 2004 10:30 pmSG-1: "Sacrifices"
Not the best they've ever done, but respectable, and a damn sight better than anything else in this season besides New Order.
- Yay, Bra'tac!
- Ping pong? Why do I have a feeling that's something they play on the set and Chris Judge just dragged it into the script?
- And ow, that had to hurt.
- Heh, paperwork. *snigger*
- A horsie!
- Kareen? Is that her name? Is her last name Koudelka, by any chance? [/Bujold geeking] And dude, she's a terrible actress. Or maybe she just can't overcome the melodramatic lines.
- Hee, it's the Danny and Sam show! Is it wrong that my weird shipper side is playing around with them now? I think I've just gotten a bit sick of all the Sam/Jack/Pete stuff.
- Ooooh, cake.
- Will someone tell my why IHOP is selling shrimp? Please? That's like Waffle House selling hamburgers. What's the point?
- Bwahahaha! Totally loved that little Sam/Jack moment with his hands on her shoulders. Then the embarrassment afterwards. Hee. Oh, and then her touching him afterwards...hmmm... *plot bunnies begin breeding*
- Oy. More bad acting and dialogue. Kareen (or whoever) sounds like an especially articulate and annoying Women's Studies undergrad. I mean, I agree with her in principle, but...
- Ooooh, pretty fog with the sunlight shining through it.
- Aw, Ry'ac's using Teal's words to Dray'ac!
- Yay for some continuity with Ba'al. Finally.
Atlantis: "Home"
Dude. Did the writer of this episode sit down and memorize "A Human Reaction" before writing this? (Ooooh, does that mean we get an Atlantis version of "Won't Get Fooled Again" next season? Pleasepleaseplease? Steve the Wraith in red high heels would be so amusing.)
- Tonight's pretty fog night, obviously.
-Bwahaha, Lizzie and John are totally finish each other's thoughts now.
- "Major?" "Lieutenant?" *cracks up*
- Of course you'll be back for supper, Rodney. And Lizzie is so the mom of this expedition.
- War and Peace? You're a braver man than I, John. I hate Tolstoy.
- Meh? That was a weird conversation. But interesting subtext...it would totally work as some kind of post-angsty-first-time sex convo.
- Okay, I heard "foremost expert" as "foremost sexpert," and now my brain hurts.
- I [heart] Ford.
- Yay, Lizzie gets to go offworld!
- "We have to explore what Pegasus has to offer"--well, why don't you start with the damn city, huh?! *is still desperate for an episode about the frickin' city*
- "I was afraid you had abandoned me." Oh, if only, J-Faux. If only.
- You can start by getting her a haircut, Johnny-boy.
- And doesn't Lizzie have a pretty car.
- "You have no new messages." *sporfle!* So perfect!
- You still have cable, McKay? Something's fishy...and ewww. Don't eat the moldy potato chips.
- No seatbelts? Ooooh, more pained UST. Just let this bad idea die, please.
- Awww, puppy! *cuddles*
- Hmmm, now you see the necklace, now you don't...
- OMG, McKay's T-shirt... *giggle*
- Waitasecond...wasn't an old lady taking care of McKay's cats?
- Ooooh, guilt-tripping yourself much, Lizzie?
- Dude, why is the refrigerator still running? The Air Force would've shut as much as possible down...ohhhh, right. Not real. Uh-huh.
- HEE! Awww, John's thinking of Lizzie! And Teyla so knows it. Bwahaha. At least J-Faux can take hints...
- Oooh, blinky lights in the lab. Sam's lab never had that many lights.
- Um, random friends o' John? You're rather creepy.
- Dancing hamsters, hee!
- "Someone explain to me what the hell is going on here!" OMG, Sheppard was so channeling Crichton in that whole scene, with the dialogue and the gun and the general craziness. And he's wearing John's blue jacket from AHR!
- Hey, Hammond doesn't turn into a weird walking duck? C'mon. If you're gonna rip off AHR, you have to have walking ducks.
- Hmmm, did Ford get the shaft again? I think he did. We saw practically none of him. Poor guy.
- Hee, John knows what Lizzie was saying. OMG, the twu luv!

Date: 2004-09-11 04:04 am (UTC)I was thinking the exact same thing. The SFC totally stole their own idea.
(Ooooh, does that mean we get an Atlantis version of "Won't Get Fooled Again" next season? Pleasepleaseplease? Steve the Wraith in red high heels would be so amusing.)
*dies*
- "We have to explore what Pegasus has to offer"--well, why don't you start with the damn city, huh?! *is still desperate for an episode about the frickin' city*
WORD!!!
- OMG, McKay's T-shirt... *giggle*
I SO want to make myself one of those. *g*
- Waitasecond...wasn't an old lady taking care of McKay's cats?
Nope, it's the same chick. I'm just disappointed we didn't get to see the cat :(

Heeeeeee.
Not my favorite ep of the season, but not bad.

(Ooooh, does that mean we get an Atlantis version of "Won't Get Fooled Again" next season? Pleasepleaseplease? Steve the Wraith in red high heels would be so amusing.)
*dies*
And then we totally need a version of "Meltdown." Pooooorn! Heh, we could have Shep/Weir, Beckett/McKay, and Ford/Teyla (except, y'know, don't concentrate on them as much). If you're gonna scavenge from Farscape, might as well hit all the high points.
WORD!!!
Next week looks sort of promising for that...they're at least staying on the planet...
I'm just disappointed we didn't get to see the cat :(
Me too!

Date: 2004-09-20 08:49 am (UTC)Yeah. Farscape did most things better. But if Atlantis is going to emulate any sci-fi series, Farscape is a good one to choose.

Whee! I'm down with that. The pairings work out so nicely, eh?
*wonders if a 'lantis version of Scratch'n Sniff would be too much*

Shouldn't that be "twu wuv"?

Date: 2004-09-11 04:16 pm (UTC)Same here.
That said, AHR didn't have McKay. Good McKay ep. Although is there such a thing as a bad McKay ep?
Doubtful.
Shouldn't that be "twu wuv"?
Yes.
