Sci-Fi Friday thoughts.
Ooh, white Jaffa! Haven't seen those in a while ;P
Aw, Landry called Walter "chief". That was cute. Reminds me of the Sentinel, though.
Omg, this team plays basketball together. *rewinds to watch again* God, that's adorable. And dude, Daniel's not wearing his glasses for the game and I swear I'm having a hard time telling him and Mitchell apart. Heh, looks like they put the twins on the same team, too. Dude, Teal'c and Vala are so cute! He just pushes Mitchell aside (he totally fouls twice here), hefts her up to make the goal, then they bump hips twice in victory. Can we please keep this team? It has such chemistry and is just so much fun, and honestly, I'm not looking forward to Sam coming back to spew the technobabble and make it boring again.
*curses Mitchell for interrupting the fun*
We already know this goa'uld will be a humor device, thanks to the uber helpful bouncy tuba music. Heh.
OMG, it's NERO WOLFE! Nero Wolfe is a goa'uld!! *dies*
Heh, Daniel's famous throughout the galaxy now. Aw, and Nerus is disappointed that Jack isn't there.
Ok, you'd think the Jaffa would quit firing at the forceshield at some point.
Why is the SGC going to such lengths to make this guy feel "at home"? What, they just phoned up the quartermaster and told him to go fetch the Roman columns and draperies?
Law of wormhole physics? Feh. Like no one else has ever managed to keep one open longer than 38 minutes. Sure.
So we get a one-sided phone conversation with Jack (really phoning it in this season, aren't we? *g*) and a PR blurb for Carter. Such fun, really.
*cringes* Ack, the hair! Make it go away!
Love Daniel grabbing Vala's hand and putting it back down. I'm going to miss their bickering.
She's wearing a scarf with her BDUs! *loves*
O.O Shaft? Oh, camshaft, I get it. Still, that's dorky. Nice to see they've fixed the Prometheus, though.
They bothered to give him French wine? Geez, he's a goa'uld. Just pop down to the closet gas station and get him a cheap bottle of wine cooler.
Space suits! And they need ladders to get inside them? Cool.
*snickers at their shiny plastic butts, and at Mitchell's strange stance* He looks like he's mentally still wearing those leather pants.
Earth minutes? And now they wait? This is the plan? Go away or we blow you up, and considering you can block all other weapons fire and do lots of other nifty ascended tricks, it might not work at all and we'll have destroyed the gate anyway? Who made this plan?
Nice to know Sam is spending so much quality time at her new job designing such nice weapons of mass destruction. Dude, they're going to destroy the entire planet.
Sam, you're probably not going to know how they're keeping the gate open, if it's the same way they do everything else. They're probably only using the energy from your weapons b/c it's handy. Ancients don't seem to need outside energy sources. And now we have kamikazi pilots, great.
Hm, Landry yells pretty well. You can certainly tell he's pissed.
A goa'uld working for the Ori? Hm, nice. And once again the SGC has gone into something without knowing enough about the situation and has helped the enemy do their job. *sigh* We're going to help them take over the galaxy, aren't we? The Ori won't even break a sweat.
A supergate? Well, it certainly looks cool. So they're gonna destroy the planet to make a black hole to feed the supergate? Whatever. *handwaves the skience on the show as usual*
OMG, DANIEL! Keep and eye on Vala, you git!! *worries*
Huh, guess all those Jaffa on the planet are dead now. If it keeps on like this they can forget about a Jaffa Nation, b/c there won't be any left but Teal'c.
Omg, what happened to Vala?! She has to be alive, dammit, so we can have her back again later on.
...dude. They're gonna starve the guy until he gives them the info they want? That's...somewhat unsettling, considering certain recent events.
Oh, yay! So she's in the Ori galaxy now. That's much better than dead. And it made Daniel happy - look at that smile. *g*
We get Ba'al next week! Cool. Won't make up for lack of Vala, but it's a start.
A secret Ancient outpost? Probably containing strange and dangerous experiments? This won't end well, I'm sure, especially considering the rumors about this ep.
Aw, Rodney's so excited about his research.
Flax seed? I love flax seed, very healthy stuff. Points to Teyla for having good nutritional sense. And it's nice that Ronon wants to tag along, get away from the "aliens" for a bit.
*dies* Ronon fails at diplomacy. Teyla has a good point, too, about how the haggling was going. Next time they might not even let her back to trade at all.
How come the technobabble on this show is so much less boring? *chalks it up to Hewlett and Nykl* Maybe it's because they actually sound interested and excited about it. Carter never sounds excited, more like a lecturer.
*snickers* Montages are so much more amusing with McKay and Zelenka bickering.
Ronon has an old friend still alive, cool. They're doing a pretty good job of juggling the completely separate A and B plots this week, which they haven't really done in Atlantis much before. And Ronon has a nice smile when he uses it.
Where's Carson this ep, dammit? He wasn't around last week either.
They're going to put more power into something already fluctuating? Collins is another redshirt, I'm afraid. He's so toast.
Geez, Rodney, why are you taking so many chances with this thing? It's not going to kill anyone if you abort and fix things and do more research before trying again. Going ahead so insistently, on the other hand...
Yay, there's Carson. Thank you. And we have a new sort of super radiation, oh goody.
Thank you, Weir, for being the voice of reason. They're going to have to learn they won't be able to understand or use every piece of Ancient technology they find.
Is that story about the Manhattan Project guy true? I hadn't heard that before.
Rodney thinks he's smarter than the Ancients now. He's so certain, which is sexy but foreboding.
"I don't think it matters how much cake you walk on." Hee.
That's a big display of trust and when it all comes crashing down the pieces are going to be hard to pick up. This should make the team dynamics somewhat interesting in the near future.
*blinks* Whoa. That was very cold-blooded, Ronon. The dark tone of this entire ep is marvelous.
Three-quarters of the solar system? O.O Ouch, Rodney.
On the surface he doesn't seem upset enough about it all, but you can tell he's covering. Losing Shep's trust in his abilities cracked the mask, though. Poor Rodney.
Marvelous ep this week. I hope they'll not drop the ball on this one and make sure the ramifications continue on throughout the season.
You know, this whole division of the fleet is weird when I really don't agree with either side. Or at least with the way they're going about things, if not necessarily the reasons behind them.
Man, Starbuck looks tired, poor thing. Aw, love the hug and whoa...kiss. Nice reaction from them both. That's not the kiss I've seen advertised, so maybe there will be another one later on?
Whoops, should have warned them about Boomer. Lee looks pissed.
"She's the president of the Colonies, you moron." *snickers*
O.O All that and then you say put her out the airlock? No way, bitca. Starbuck! Do something, dammit.
Adama really shouldn't hold press conferences. Ouch.
Dude, Roslin plays hardball. Telling Boomer they'll throw Helo out the airlock if she doesn't find the tomb? Nice.
Zarek's little flunky should shut up or get smacked. Come on, Zarek, you shouldn't let your subordinates get so mouthy.
Aw, I love how far Hotdog and the other newbies pilots have come. But omg, this new captain is about to get them all killed. Shit! Come on, chickie, you can do it. Whew. That was too close and they can't afford to lose any pilots due to stupid dren like this. For once, Tigh was right about something.
Heh, and now Zarek is conspiring to kill Apollo. *snickers* So much for that pairing, eh? ;P
...Apollo sniffed Starbuck's ball. Ok, I can't keep a straight face when typing that.
Love the back-to-back conversation. Aw, and he said he loves her - very matter-of-fact, no hesitation. They have such a great friendship, nice to see them back together again. These pairings are so much better when they're based on friendship. They're so cute about it all, and of course she teases the hell out of him for it. No take-backs! *g*
Galleon Meadow? That's a nice name, actually. I like it.
...Roslin looks a little too messiah-y in that white tunic.
Totally saw that one coming. Priestess lady naturally would be the first to bite it on Kobol.
Heh. Way to save all their asses, Sharon. *cheers*
Wow, I love the scene between Dee and Adama. She totally told him flat-out how it was, and he really needed to hear it. Dee kicks ass.
Love the music when Adama finally decides to put the fleet back together. Gaeta's expression cracked me up, and Dee's was just lovely. Missed Billy, though. Wonder what he was up to this whole time.
The teaser for next week is evil and next week needs to come now, please.
All in all, a pretty solid group of episodes. *goes off to check flist and see what everyone else thought about them*

But, see, that's such a *great* line, because Helo's totally out of it! Poor Helo.

NeroNerus is all disappointed by the lack of Jack and Sam? I was totally thinking of Jonas in "The Other Guys." *shakes head*
