Stargate
Perhaps it would have been better if we hadn't been watching Farscape before SG-1 and Atlantis. Because, sadly, when one has just watched Dog With Two Bones, one has a better sense of angst and plot and character. And so one feels understandably fuckingly FRUSTRATED when the next thing you watch has good main cast, a cute plot and then a god-damkned stupid fucking awful bad guy!
*SEETHES*
Dear Stargate Writers: Please stop writing the god-damned fucking Genaii. They are not cool, they are not intersting, they are a fucking waste of precious screen-time that the main cast RARELY GET. Further: please stop writing the stupid Trust!
SG-1. Cute opening. Great stuff from all four (Teal'c looking so sad about the dead jaffa was fab). Amusing British Scientis who we knew was Evil becuz he British, yo. Oh, look, it's a plank of wood pretending to be a pretentious bad guy. And another. And a third. Wow. They all went to the tree school of acting, didn't they.
*glee* Sam in a black leather top! Pity they paired it with stupid fucking slacks and not, say, BLACK LEATHER WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE PRACTICAL. Or did Daniel tell her not to give Jack a heart attack?
"Uh, Sam?"
"Yes?"
"Don't you think Jack has enough stress right now?"
"...I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Sa-am."
"Daniel."
"Fine. But don't blame me if he dies."
"...damn."
And the jeans! And the matching Daniel with the jeans (which was cute).
The Tok'ra chick fell out of character twice. I wonder if she was a last-minute addition?
And. Damn. Teal'c keeps losing people left, right, and center. Poor boy.
Anyone else think the planet they were going to destroy had either Jacob on it or Ishta?
Oh, look. More wooden acting from the idiotic Trust.
HEY! Go, Sam! *cheers* Dude. She so kicked ass, even with her hands behind her back. *pets Sam*
Awwww. Look! Jack is a sap!
Atlantis. Ooh. A storm. Yay! McKay and Zelenka geeking and bouncing! Yay!
...Lizzie? Stop sending Shep out to negotiate. He sucks at it.
Oh, god. The Gedi. *cries* WHY????????
You know what's so fucking sad? This was a happy episode, it was a fun one, it was good! There was snappy dialogue, and amusing banter! And then they had to have the Gedi invade. (they are the ghetto Jedi, yo).
How fucking stupid do you have to be to invade a city that's about to get torn apart by a storm?
Oh, wait. You just have to be yet more wooden obnoxious assholes!
No yay.
We need a society for the prevention of cruelty to McKay, yo.
How sad is it that I would rather have them do a bunch of Wraith episodes? Hell, let's go back to the Poisoning the Well people. Or Elliot and his suicidal kids! Or Steve? (because Steve lives, YO.)
Read that again.
Lyssie would prefer the Wraith to the Gedi.
I wouldn't be scared of them, but I'd rather have them on screen. Because they're at least interesting and amusing and don't make me fucking frustrated by ruining a perfectly good storm plot.
They are the deux ex machinas. They are the plot devices because there must be 'human' danger, yo.
*FRUSTRATED SHRIEK*
I want them gone.
The entire episode is fucking ruined because of them.
Which is so very sad, because it was GOOD. without them in it.
Not even Peter's direction could save it. Even if he did give us John going *snap* when Lizzie was threatened. (dude. that was NOT a normal reaction. That wasn't a "Fuck! I'm never going to see her naked!" that was a "FUCK! They're threatening Lizzie! Shit!")
Because John? Should so have bluffed them. "Actually, it only takes one. The Ancients built this place, you dipshits."
(it is, however, nice to see that he DOES differ from Jack 4.0 slightly.)
All in all, I give SG-1 high marks and Atlantis low ones.
*SEETHES*

Soooo bet it was DADDIE SELMAK, omg.
HEY! Go, Sam! *cheers* Dude. She so kicked ass, even with her hands behind her back. *pets Sam*
::cheers:: That was AWESOME.
Awwww. Look! Jack is a sap!
Dude, if it wasn't for the hot SG-1 love going on, I bet all the Go'uld and Wraith would be dead cuz Jack& crew always sacrfice the greater good for each other. Re: WHY I LOVE THEM.
Even if he did give us John going *snap* when Lizzie was threatened
::liz/john shipper went WILD with glee:: ::still glee-ing::
KHAAAAAAAAN! Oh it was great.
(Reply to this)
Actually . . .
John is the same way. John: "Dazzling smiles look good on me. Wait. Dazzling smiles won't work? Fine. Ubermacho with a gun. No ubermacho gun goodness? Fuck them blowing up my stuff or killing my people. JOHN SMASH!!!"
His reaction is perfect, though I doubt he intended it that way. Now Evil!General won't kill Weir, because he knows John is in love with her, but can't afford to kill McKay, because he needs the scientist to save Atlantis. If Evil!General kills Weir, John will kill all of them just to spit the Evil!General, and he knows it. Besides, we know Weir lives. We saw her wet and unhappy promo photo. =)
I have this urge to fill in the blanks regarding McKay. =)
