sff: the rooster spawned the egg edition

Lantis: Glee. Shiny.

In random order.

1. Keller. I think I'm in love. She's no-nonsense and intelligent and smart, and OMG. Like, seriously, she's awesome.

2. Teyla. When John wasn't around, she was In Charge. I'm quite in love with that. She also gave Lizzie the "wtf, no dying on me, idiot." glare near the end. Oh, oh, and Teyla knows what it's like to be violated, Liz, so don't even fucking pull that card on her.

3. Liz. Oh, Liz. I love you, woman. But John was absolutely right (and you said it yourself), you don't want to be saved like this. But how fucking awesome is it that Liz is now the Bionic Woman? Seriously. They used nanobots in the new tv show. *imagines Sarah/Liz/Jamie* um.... I'll be in my bunk.

4. I loved the pacing of this episode. I knew no one was going to die, but I still felt like there was tension--some of it was provided through interpersonal conflict (and Shep, who's trying not to think about the woman dying several floors below him telling Rodney he's in charge. Oh, Shep).

5. Speaking of Shep, if Connor King had done that one scene in the infirmary, he would have been bawling like a baby that Liz might be dying. (I do so love Connor) Which is ok, 'cause Ronon did the near-weepy thing, too. *cackles* Only Rodney escaped not being full of manly tears.

6. The asteroid belt scene was... dude. This is why I like tv. To see pretty ships blowing shit up and big massive cities with condoms over their towers soaring through holes in the world. I. just. That is why I watch this show. *happysigh*

7. Yee Jee Tso! Skiffy hat-trick! (DW telemovie, SG-1, and now Lantis). And if it wasn't him, I'll be sad. Plus, he's still hot. Mmm. I hope he joins the semi-regular cast along with Chuck and Lorne.

8. Oh, Rodney. You were so focused and awesome in this ep.

9. Hell, everyone was awesome as fuck in this episode, and I just... dear Lantis writers, this is why you do the ensemble cast (so far, my prediction that the last half of season 3's Ensemble schtick would continue is paying off).

10. Sam. Hi, Sam, with her hair up and looking all hot. Dude, if she ever does a ponytail, I am so screwed. Srsly. And Dr. Lee! Poor Bill, Sam's already thought of all of that, most likely.

All in all, damn, am I glad this show is back.

Also, next week? HEIST. Lantis does the Great Train Robbery.

Holy crap. Kara already killed me dead with her ponytail... but Sam? Gah.

And yay, I liked the ep! Even though I'm not particularly attached to Weir at all (having only seen her on the SG1 eps and some random SGA eps), I thought her storyline was an interesting way to take the character out. And I like that it was little glimpses of poor Sam, stuck on a station with Bill. Who assigned her THAT?

Also, I admit I totally squeed when she said "Colonel Samantha Carter" rather than Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter. I can't wait until Sam becomes a General.

And I love Keller. And I predict that she and Sam will get along really well, as the newbies. I love how confident she is about her genius, but without being all egotistical about it...

I love that Keller went from her uncertainty last episode (she was telling Weir she wasn't sure she was right for the job), to shoving her worry aside and just doing her fucking job.

Sam in a ponytail. It has to happen.

I'm a Weir fan - I happen to think that Torri did a good job w/ the material they wrote for her. Not too sure why the PTB's felt that by "shaking things up" they needed to get rid of 2 strong characters last season.

Havoc & Lyssie, evil mean people that they are, were feeding me SGA/Eureka plot bunnies - Lizzie/Nathan Stark and Lizzie/Allison Blake..... Because, since Eureka was picked up for a 3rd season, we need to have Torri/Liz step in to keep the lunatics at GD in line. :-p

word to all the above. Especially Teyla. "couldn't you just shut down what we don't need to save power, dumbass?" hee. And Keller was rockin.

COLONEL Carter. \o/

And Ronon being a big woobie. awww.

That is still a purty effect of all the glass blowing in on Weir in the previouslies.

'Condom on the city', made me laugh and laugh, btw. I read that like halfway in and then I giggled every time they did an exterior of the tower.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

OH TEYLA. Yes. Yes, indeed.

I KNOW. *gleeeeee*

It is, yah.

And Ronon was totally awesome, and they SO bought him that shirt just for us. Really. Now, he should wear it ALWAYS.

You can blame my roommate for vocalizing it after I'd considered it mentally. ;)

Bionic Liz would make me hate the not!Replicators plot less. A smidge.

SAM SAM YAY SAM!

Seriously. Keller (Rodney?) was doing her explanation, and I said, "OMG. Lizzie's being infected with nanotechnology like BW! AHAHAH."

When the jumpers took off into the asteroid belt, I sang to qtrhorserider and scarfmom, "Anything Lucas does / We can do better ..."

And that was definitely Yee Jee Tso, thought I didn't remember his name when I saw him (and probably won't next week either).

[ladyniko.livejournal.com]

hehehe..... I thought it was him, nice to see others picked it up too!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

? When were there a group of ships shooting asteroids for a floating city in Star Wars?

Hah. I was fairly certain, but I didn't remember seeing his name in the credits.

I definitely thought that about the tower condom. Hee!

And yes--I am in love.

Ponytail? Uh oh.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Ponytail. It would be HOT.

My roommate is glad to know we're not the only ones who saw the tower condom. ;)
