Aurora thoughts and squee
My first venture into the second season. I love Aurora.
Ronon + chess = unimpressed.
I love these little domestic scenes. I can't wait for the episode Sunday, since I believe it's about as close to a completely unplotty ep as we're likely to get. Really, do they think we're not going to watch the show if there are no explosions? -grumble grumble character development grumble-
Ronon has blue jello.
"You guys do a lot of that around here." Why, yes. Yes, we do. If by strategizing you mean flying by the seat of our attractive pants with barely an idea as to how we got here, let alone how we're going to get out of it. It's a cunning strategy that our enemies never anticipate.
Elizabeth is cute when she's embarrassed.
"Is that okay?" -lol-
Yay, spaceship!
"Look at his eyes, all lighting up again." Just how much time do you spend looking into John's eyes, Rodney?
"...recalling ships back to Atlantis." Annnnd, the only one that ever responds to this beacon is the Aurora? Why didn't Captain Helia of the uh... Tria respond? Unless the beacon never reached that far out. Okay, we'll go with that.
Elizabeth, translated from diplospeak: "Please don't force me to remind you, Colonel Caldwell, that you are my bitch. You and the ship you rode in on."
I'm half tempted to add Caldwell to my list of people that need to be in the credits. His ship gets to be in there.
Stroll around the Daedalus hallways. I did that! -grin- I got to read the stickers and push the buttons and make the little indicator lights go on and off. It was cool like a really cool thing. And I was terrified I would break something and it would be visible on the show and the results of my careless destruction would be immortalized for all eternity. Good times.
Why isn't Zelenka in the credits yet?
Hello, Deddykins. I love you. And seeing you fire your missiles and blow stuff up is a highly sexual experience for me.
That's really quite a good explanation as to how they could find an undisturbed Ancient ship after so long. -nods-
Ew. Points for Ancient ship aesthetic appeal: 0. It looks like some poor Ancient kid's erector set went through a kitchen garbage disposal.
Carl Binder yay!
How the hell did those people way up there get into their pods?! Oh, okay, little take-your-life-in-your-hands rock wall handholds, I see.
"...virtually moribund." Who talks like that? I don't even talk like that. Though I did recently catch myself using the word inasmuch, and was appropriately embarrassed.
Jeepers. Conscious and unable to move a muscle for 10,000 years? -shudder- I bet they've all gone insane.
Communicating with each other. You'd think they've pretty much said everything that can be said after all those years.
Ah, recall beacon activation, right. Okay, that's less horrifying.
"Why is the smart one having to stop and answer so many questions?" Oh, snap! -dies-
"What's the matter, Colonel? Don't trust me?" Gulph. And he says it so off-the-cuff. I'm not sure if he's playing it cool to hide his hurt, or if he really doesn't expect John to say no.
And then he says no. Gulph. Though, upon later viewing, Rodney doesn't seem terribly hurt by it.
"But if it does." Heh. I love John's voice here.
I choose to paint this scene in pretty rose colours. -waves big gay paintbrush of rosy love- Okay, see, John doesn't want Rodney going into an unknown situation alone because omghowwillIprotectyou?! so he steamrollers Rodney into letting him go instead, and if something goes wrong, he knows his boyfriend will save him from the insane conversationalists.
Teyla wins at Rodney-manipulation.
And superior head-tosses.
I love the diffused white and blue of the virtual reality scenes. And the misty music.
John totally smile-flirted with the Wraith! And did a little tail-waggle!
Ah, they don't know they're all living a lie. Cool.
Somewhere private. XD
John begins stripping in agitation (as one does), making sure to flip the edge of his jacket wide to expose part of his chest. Our boy knows where his strengths lie. Unfortunately, the Captain seems to be straight.
I love how sometimes John's voice sounds like it's cracking like a fourteen year-old's. "...since you le-eft."
"I expected you to know that." -snicker-
John making faces is never not cute.
Lmao! Rodney wins at John-manipulation! Taunting him with weapons. He just likes seeing his eyes light up.
"No, Rodney. That slipped my mind."
I've seen benches like the one in John's cell before. Maybe the set designer stole it from a bus stop or something.
Any time they offer information about Atlantis that seems innocuous, it isn't. That should be their indicator for imminent trouble: I told them nothing of significance.
Mock sincerity. And he tries to flirt with the Wraith again, offering implied sexual favours and being all seductive until the force field zaps him for being such a slutty little minx.
Ronon messing with Teyla's count by listing off numbers. XD
See, John, why didn't you disappear like that to begin with? Y'know, when the Captain was watching?
Niiice move with the gun, though!
"I really don't like being ignored." And now I'm flashing to every story I've ever read where John is an attention whore and bugs Rodney like a gnat while he's working and lures him away from the labs with candied apples or chocolate or coffee or puddlejumper sex.
Mmm, puddlejumper sex.
First time I saw the pod!Wraith, I thought the Ancients had imprisoned the Wraith against its will. ...Sometimes I ride the short bus to the plot.
Nice how John, then the First Wraith are framed in the mirror.
The habit of saving each other's lives. See? It doesn't take much to make us happy. Just a throwaway line here and there and we can get miles of usage out of it.
"So send me in?" "Oh, yes!"
Mussed. Rakish. Miles.
Prison!fic!
"Yeah, shielding." -LOL- Teyla spouting sciencebabble gets Ronon hot.
John: "It's gotta be the First Officer. She didn't respond sexually to me at all!" -pout-
Rodney opens the cell door for Sheppard and that Stephen Lynch song pops into my head. "You have opened brand new doors..." Yeah, that one.
Ronon's dreds have gotten a lot longer since this ep.
"I, the Wraith, delete this important information..."
Rodney's huffy crossed arms of jealousy. "What were you doing chatting up that Wraith?! Is she prettier than me?!"
"Go!" Yes, it's often exasperation, but John shows more emotion with Rodney than he does with anybody else.
Way to go, Rodney!
Oops. Way to go, Rodney.
He drew his gun and cocked it without even looking at it.
Of course, the spazzy aim-and-fire-with-your-head-hidden-in-your-arm method is somewhat less impressive.
Aww. The info is gone gone gone. I wonder what that weakness was? I wonder if we'll ever find out? I wonder if we already have and I just completely missed it?
Poor Captain. I quite like his character. Not like that home-wrecking bitch Helia. Hm, I wonder if they knew each other? I bet our nice Captain didn't like her, either.
Yay, John's turn!
Heh, way to snap at your superior officer, John. "One damn minute!"
"Rest assured that the Aurora will be remembered." Aw. I could cry. It's so... awurgh. I love the Aurora.
-raises a glass-
