Well, I went to school in Olympia...
So. Finally saw Atlantis. Will do a cut in a moment. But... it's not as bad as it could have been. It's also not as good as it could be (I hold out hope, though. Because I am the eternal optimist...)
Sheppard. Jack-Lite, but without all the snark. He got better, though.
Weir. Still like her.
McKay. Dude. He grows on me, which is wrong ("Does this have lemon in it?" killed me ded)
Beckett. Put down the hand of Eldrad, dude.
Ford. Awww. He needs to corner Teyla. They'd make pretty babies.
Teyla. Bored now. Can we kill her off soon?
Wraiths. Dude. Marvel called, Marius wants his mutant powers back. And Legolas wants his hair.
Colonel I Will Be Dead Soon. Grew on me. Kinda wish he'd stayed. Or they could have sent him back to Earth to run SG-3...
Premise. Not too bad. Could be fun.
I'm saddened that none of them considered sending the city to the surface (This would have been, I would think, Sheppard's ideal moment to be the Cut To The Crap, Dude dude. He missed it.), since it was. so. obvious. "We submerged it to be safe!" uhuh. And now those shields are failing...
Am I the only one who shrieked in horror at the echo of the Carter 'n' O'Neill pre-gate moment of "I'll grow on you, sir" vis a vis Colonel Red Shirt and Sheppard?
Narim apparently survived the goa'uld destroying Tollana. I hope Sam's cat is all right.
I vote McKay's sister and Sam get together to bitch about her brother sometime. And. Dude. He stuck her with his cat. She so has to hate him. "I once put lemon peel on his birthday cake." "Can I marry you?"
heheh. Btw, the whole breeding stock thing cracked me the fuck up. The Wraiths did better than the sand on Karn did!
Of course, they're more pathetic than mutant sentient sand.
They're like a stupid cross between elves and vampires, and they're not even pretty. Sigh. Can we kill them all off and find some other bad guys? Like, oh, mutant sea bass? That could work.
"Atlantis is under attack!"
"By who?"
"What, dude."
"By what?"
"Mutant sea bass!"
"...John?"
"...Liz?"
"You'd better not be joking."
"I'm not."
"Fine. Let's go find a closet."
"Handcuffs?"
"Straps."
"Keen."
"....So, Beckett."
"Not even if you were the last man on Earth, McKay."
"Shouldn't that be last man in the Pegasus galaxy?"
"Hey, where's Ford?"
"He went to warn Teyla."
"That bitch!"
Hrm. Sidetracked myself.
So. Atlantis. Was ok. Was kinda shiny. May yet grow on me, as long as there is more snark and more of the Sheppard and McKay show...

And is very shiny. Very.
And I'm really liking your Teyla/Ford idea. That's been bouncing around my head since I saw A.j.'s quiz results earlier. Hmm. Wow. That means I've paired... everyone off. Not bad for the first week of a show...
And God, yes, maybe the Wraith get killed off by someone else bad in, like, four episodes. That would be excellent.
Ford: "Wraith! All dead!"
Liz: "Really!?"
McKay: "Enjoy the happy moment while it lasts, Lizzie."
Liz: "?"
John: "They got their butts kicked by bad guys who are more threatening and interesting and more difficult to predict."
Liz: "Crap."
John: "No kidding. But they have better hair."
McKay: "Always the optimist."
no subject
Let's hope that happens.
no subject
Maybe I missed it, but how much evidence do we have that the huge enemy that drove off the Ancients actually was the Wraiths? After all, if the most advanced creatures after a nuclear war are cockroaches, you don't assume that the cockroaches are the ones who pressed the button, do you?

no subject
Well, I don't think Sheppard was actually in Atlantis until, like, five seconds before it started rising on its own. But it's good to know that I wasn't the only one saying, "Well, duh! Just figure out how to make it go back up again! It wasn't like it was sunk by some natural disaster like people seemed to think..."
Maybe somebody thought of that off-screen, but couldn't figure out how to do it?
no subject
And. Dude. This is the SG guys. They would SO have worked it in there.... Unless they were too drunk to remember...
"So, how were we gonna?"
"Oh...hrm..."
"We killed Colonel Doggett, so no one's that straight for it."
"Heh. Heh. He said straight."
"...pass the vodka, deLuise."
no subject
"Wait, what if we just raised the city?"
"'Raised the city'?"
"Well, the Ancients sunk it, right? So if we can just figure out how to make it go back up..."
*two hours later*
"All right, this should do it."
"..."
"..."
"...How will turning the forcefield around the city pink help save us?"
"..."
no subject
"FINE. You try it!"
"All right."
"..."
"Hah!"
"That is SO unfair! How come you got the cool gene AND the instinctive know-how?"
"Because I'm Scottish."
"With a BAD accent!"
"Look who's talking Mr. Suddenly Canadian."
"Right--that's it!"
"Oh, bring it on--"
"BOYS!"
"Lizzie."
"Dr. Weir."
"...Kill him, Beckett."
no subject
"Oh, boy..."
(Oops, wait, wrong Beckett. Heh.)
"I leave you people alone for five minutes..."
"Not now, Sheppard! Unless you can do something to help, shut it!"
"Oh, sure, shall I just wave my hand and say, 'City, rise now!'?"
*Atlantis promptly rises from underwater*
"...I think I hate you."
"You know you love me, Lizzie."
no subject
"Hey!"
"...I thought you said there weren't any security cameras?"
"Never said anything about holographic recording devices."
"...Can we get HBO out here?"
"Beckett, if there are tapes, you are also dead."
"Tapes. Beckett. Maybe I do love you."
"Hey!"
"Oh, shut up John. Unless you're going to do something amusing like kiss my ass."
"That could be arranged."
".."
"..."
"So, Beckett."
"So, McKay."
"Let's see about that hand, huh?"
"Right."
