Stargate: Atlantis -- The Seige, part III

Spoilers, natch.

Mitch!

Even though I knew he was going to be there, I was still unprepared for how amazingly amazing it would be. That lovely bald head. Those broad shoulders and slim hips. Those pretty eyes. The way he moves. That voice, that voice, that voice.

God, I've missed him. I just wish his pants had been tighter.

I suppose I should learn his character's name so I can start pairing him up with all and sundry. As soon as I catch up with life, there will be icons.

Oh, yeah, Rodney was just as cute and wonderful as ever. :)

I admit, I didn't exactly like the episode all that much. I felt like they just kept raising the danger to higher and higher levels but without anything interesting behind it. Just -- you took out three motherships? OK, now there are twelve. You dealt with twelve, OK, here are a million. Rodney averted one crisis, bitching all the while? OK, here's another crisis for Rodney to avert, bitching all the while. (I do love the bitching, though.) Etc. When they try to ratchet up the tension that high, it backfires, at least for me.

I'd like to see something more like:

Weir: Who are you? I've never seen you before.

Sheppard: It's me! Sheppard!

Weir: Seriously, who are you?

McKay: sniffs at Sheppard You smell familiar.

Sheppard: That's because I'm John Sheppard.

McKay: It's my conditioner. You stole my conditioner!

Weir: turns on communicator Major Sheppard, we need you up here now.

Sheppard: How many times do I have to tell you, it's me!

Zelenka: takes out a tube of hair gel

Sheppard: Hey, what are you doing?

Zelenka: fixes Sheppard's hair The chemical compounds in the conditioner have changed the consistency of Major Sheppard's hair, effectively disguising him.

McKay: Of course! The conditioner made his hair go flat so we couldn't recognize him.

Zelenka: That's what I said.

Weir: So why were you using McKay's conditioner, Major?

McKay: Yeah, why were you using...oh. Never mind.

Caldwell: stands around bare-chested


I'm sorry to see Ford go, though. I liked him a lot. But nice to see Carson in the credits now. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

what channel do you get it on? Stargate Atlantis is supposed to be on movie central here (at least, it was always on every time I turned on tv, it seemed) but I checked every channel I get here on the 15th and it didn't appear. I was crushed. Just hoping that it's just a week or two delayed, maybe. I've seen pics, and I can't wait!! (Not much I won't do for a Mitch fix--heck, I even got digital cable, just to get the WB for that one season of The Mountain he was in.

Did you know he's voicing Com. Gordon in the Batman animated series?

Cheers!

Fair enough.

I wound up with pay channels when I whored myself to the cable company for the WB, and so will get Atlantis eventually. My old computer isn't up to downloading tv shows just yet. (But someday....insert wishful cackle here *L*)

ooh, and we loves the shoulder icon, yes we do! :)

Ford isn't gone for good. He'll be back.

Colonel Caldwell. And whoo, it was nice to see him. He was such a soothing presence; you could *see* John being all "YAY DADDY IS HERE."

Rodney's freakout at the Wraith was a hoot. I mean, I hooted out loud. And then again when he just tuckered out on the floor. It tough to be the smartest guy in the galaxy.

Dude yes! (Especially the part about the tension. I sat with HBP in my lap muttering, This is a bit silly.)

But your tiny story made me laugh loud enough that the rest of my household now wants in on the joke.

As a fellow Mitch stalker admirer, thought you might be interested in THIS (http://pics.livejournal.com/kwaldo12/pic/0005x94r) - we're fairly certain it's not just a fold in the fabric...

Oh my....

excuse the drool....

Just saw that and SG-1: 9.1.

Holy fuck. I never believed it before, but the Ford/Beckett was just heartbreaking. Poor Aiden trying to fight through what the enzyme was doing to him, and realising that he was hurting Carson, but not really able to stop it and, and Teyla calling him by his first name... ~sniffles~

Also: what the hell was with that balcony scene?! Superfluous, much?

I'm just hoping they bring back Stackhouse for season two. I like Stackhouse, and I'd like to be able to crowbar in some nice, continued angst about his bereavement in The Brotherhood ~points to icon~.

Not sure if you're a big SG-1 fan, or if you've seen 9.1, so let me just say, they have GOT to be insane if they think they're implying ANYTHING but Teh Big Gay. I preferred it to the first ep of SGA, actually... A really good start, there.

Oh, and if you want to discuss the slashiness of any part/slash ship of Stargate you might like [livejournal.com profile] the_gay_chip.

We're creating a squeechive of all the best moments, regardless of pairing.

Hi,

Did you know about [livejournal.com profile] pileggi_daily?

And on a slightly OT-ish note, thanks so much for all your great XF fanfic.:-)

Regards,

And thanks for this great SGA snippet, too, of course. :-))

I found you by way of [livejournal.com profile] pileggi_daily which had a link to this amusement.

Your sense of humor is still, always, wonderful. Which will make your Atlantis fic incredibly fun to read.

Why, yes, yes I am poking you with a pointy stick. You can either get used to it or write faster.
