sga running commentary

Feb 19, 2006 19:01

My running episode commentary for the three episodes that I just watched ... probably not too coherent, and filled with large amounts of random squeeing and profanity. (Because evidently, I have a dirty mouth when I type fast.)

Critical Mass

Aww, Radek looks grumpy. Poor baby! *huggles* McKay is evil!

SGC? What are we doing here? "They've been there"? Past tense? Wouldn't that seem to indicate that it's not anyone currently on Atlantis, like, say, Cadman? *has an idea of who will be suspected because of spoilers*

Doctor ... oh, fuck, I can't remember his name. Lee? Whatever, I adore him.

Cadman ... OMG so fucking HOT! And Sheppard is evil and quite possible flirting with her, which I really wouldn't blame him for because she is so cute and hot and funny.

Teyla looks ... so weird in that outfit. And yes, I'm seeing the Teyla/Beckett.

OMG ... DOCTOR GEEK! I want to marry him. *loves*

Kavanaugh? *hates* But he doesn't seem so bad right now. I mean, sure, he's thinking about his own skin, but with Hermiod as a foil he's kind of funny.

CHUCK! And he has such a pretty voice, too!

"What's a Goa'uld?" *loves on Ronon*

And Elizabeth is teh smart.

OMG Mainland! It's so pretty! I love it muchly. And they're all so warm and pretty and loving. And Beckett is attentive and caring and sweet and oh, yes, I could ship them.

Poor Barrett. *pets*

Heh. "Return to help with the investigation"? Either Caldwell is doing some serious spinning -- which I doubt, considering the fact that Novak didn't seem to object to his wording -- or Elizabeth is doing the spinning. Of course she wants you to help with the investigation. She wants to interrogate the lot of you. *sniggers*

TAPDANCE! Jesus Christ, I want to marry that girl.

Elizabeth needs to brush her hair. She looks like she just rolled out of bed.

Leave the transmitter on the mainland? Teyla's people are on the mainland!

Oh, good ... Teyla is evacuating her people. Why didn't Beckett volunteer to go along with her?

Hee! Walter. Oh, Caldwell, you evil fucker. Make sure that they can't reveal you as the traitor even if they knew.

Cadman so knows that Rodney is bad-mouthing her. She's giving him a very dirty look.

Elizabeth is so utterly dangerous to Caldwell. *licks*

She's right -- Kavanaugh looks so guilty. All that stuff ... if I didn't already know who the traitor was from spoilers, I would suspect him, too.

Is Charon Teyla's grandmother? And what's the mythological significance of that name, anyway?

Hee! Novak is funny. And she's back to hiccuping? Poor baby. And she's so nice ... she really just doesn't want to offend anyone, does she? *empathizes*

*loves on Sheppard for his metaphors*

Chuck is so cute! He's trying to look all serious and attentive in the background, but he just looks ... weird.

Kavanaugh ... I feel for him, but I can't help but feel he looks like the most guilty man in the world. I mean ... honestly.

Why are these people so stupid? All they have to do is scan him -- an MRI is all that it would take. After all, the traitor is supposed to have a Goa'uld in his head.

Why is everyone ganging up on Elizabeth to make her torture him?

*loves on Cadman* Yeah, I could slash her with Elizabeth. Did you catch that look just before the commercial break?

Jesus Christ, that dress looks like it came straight out of a Renaissance fair.

*laughs* OMG, Ronon coming into Kavanaugh's room is ... hilarious. Like, seriously. I mean, he's trying to be terrifying, but he's just not. And Kavanaugh's reaction ... *feels guilty for laughing but laughs regardless*

Meh. Caldwell.

Apart from Cadman, this entire OMG SO SCARY climax was just a snooze. Can I marry that girl? Please?

*SQUEE* Zelenka. Facepaint. *dies*

Mm. Lovely Sparky moment at the end there. Oh, but now we mention the scan. *scoffs* Honestly, people, how stupid can you be?

Next Episode: Rodney/Sam. Heh.

Wasn't there some kind of brouhaha about Beckett not respecting some DNR order? I didn't see anything of the sort. DNR means that you don't try to bring someone back from the dead, which he most definitely did not do. Sure, he was probably giving her some medication to help her with her heart, but at least he didn't open up her chest and put in a pacemaker against her will.

Grace Under Pressure

Who's this random pilot guy? I like him. He's funny, and very smart. He's probably also an author insert, what with all of that preaching. And it looks like he's about to die.

"Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" *snerk* He sounds so ... wooden. So unconcerned with the fact that he's about to crash into the water and sink.

Except ... if McKay is not in his seat and doesn't have a seatbelt on, how is the pilot going to die and McKay live?

Right. No nitpicking.

ZELENKA! I didn't even recognize his voice over the radio.

YAY! He's alive! So much for my nitpicking.

Zelenka ... honey, darling, sweetling ... please pay attention to the fact that Rodney is sinking over there. You do love him, right? I mean, I appreciate that you're a scientist and therefore have an element of curiosity about everything, but ... it's Rodney.

OMG, the pilot sacrificed himself! *cries* I guess that answers my question about how he dies.

RODNEY! Yes. He hates having people sacrificing themselves for him. *hugs* And he's claustrophobic, too. *pets* Poor baby.

"Radek!" OMG, first name squee! And ... this is a big change from not even knowing his name. It's a pity that Zelenka can't actually hear any of this.

Elizabeth still needs a hairbrush. *sighs*

Rodney talks to himself! I knew he was so much of an extrovert that he couldn't handle being alone and quiet, I just knew it. And I guess now, I can imagine him without other people around, because he just treats himself like another person.

What's Daniel Jackson doing in a SciFi original movie? *is puzzled*

Hey, and the original version of Dune is coming out on DVD! That's cool. I kind of like that movie, in a way that I never really liked the newer miniseries.

But that's enough about commercials. Back to the show!

No, Rodney, you haven't lost that much blood. You probably just have a concussion. Plus, you know, deep under the ocean it gets really fucking cold.

*pauses the video over the scrolling code* I've never seen any code like that. Ever. And considering the number of "print" and "read" commands there, that code is probably doing next to nothing, too. I mean, yes, communicating with the Ancient computer system might require some I/O, but ... not like this. Any programmer worth his/her salt would take one look at the code and rewrite the damn thing, it's so badly written. (Not to mention the fact that it's not commented in the least -- a programming faux pas, at least for code being used/modified by more than one person.) And as for the "if ... then ... else ..." syntax? Jesus Christ. The only place I have ever seen that used is AppleScript. AppleScript. That should give you an idea of how fucking wrong that is.

*loves on Rodney* He talks to the ship, yay! He's getting hysterical, though, which means that he needs to just calm down and take a deep breath. Or ... not.

*squee* Sparky! They're so cute! And they bring up the whole "yes" thing again, from "Duet." OMGSOCUTE!

Rodney, honey, I think you need to stop talking to the local wildlife. *giggles behind Rodney's back*

Can't they use the deep-space scanners? I guess they might have trouble penetrating the water. Which brings up the issue -- in "38 Minutes," Rodney said that the rear compartment wouldn't hold, that they'd die in space anyway and the air would leak out. So why isn't the water leaking in from the front compartment? Or was that initial statement in "38 Minutes" more of a guess than an actual statement of truth?

Dude, Rodney needs therapy.

Sam has nice cleavage. Even if she's just a hallucination.

Yeah, therapy. Um, hypothetically speaking, if Rodney had sex with Sam here, would it be het or masturbation?

OMG, Elizabeth! Way to play on the Rodney/Radek to get him to help. *loves*

You know, I really ... I can't really concentrate during this scene, because they keep showing these really fantastic views of Sam's cleavage. And her lips. And her eyes. Why didn't anyone tell me that Sam was so hot?

In no way dressed provocatively? I beg to differ, darling.

Okay, they're probably under several thousand feet of water here, and the pressure is intense. If there were a hole in the hull, the water would be spurting in there fast as can be, not trickling.

Chuck. Pretty!

*giggles* Sea monster!

Why doesn't McKay already have hypothermia? And why isn't the computer dying in all that water? Or at least frying McKay?

Where do jumpers get their power from, anyway? And ... speaking hypothetically, couldn't they just have the shield cover the windshield, since that's the only thing that broke?

Ooh! Bra only? Now that's more like it. *ogles* Although ... oddly, I think I liked her better with the shirt on. Probably because it was more supportive.

Distraction technique. I called that long before he did.

I love Radek. Especially when he swears in Czech. John, on the other hand, needs to stop being reckless.

I think Rodney needs a hug. A big hug. Honey, sweetheart, I know it hurts, I know you're a self-centered bastard, but it's okay. We all are.

Good Rodney. You can't get far in life until you recognize the difference between intelligence and smarts.

Radek, you need to have a good idea right about -- yes, that's it.

Hello, big giant whale thing! *loves*

Next Episode: John is a slut. "I never see this coming"? Pull the other one, darling, it's got bells on.

The Tower

"Open-minded women" -- yeah, like I said before, pull the other one, darling.

"Protection from the Wraith." Haha, McKay, eat your words ... they do have some interesting stuff here. *tries to look mature but ends up sticking her tongue out*

... Teyla just finished John's sentence. I would say John/Teyla OTP, but ... no. Just no.

Chuck! Chuck! Chuck! He's always there! *grins*

Hm. Why is no one else around when John is talking to Elizabeth? Considering the fact that he's doing it in the jumper, where it's just as easy for everyone to come in and sit down ... I mean, I'm not going to be saying, "John/Elizabeth is canon and they're so sleeping together," but that decision is a little odd.

Although if McKay is out exploring, that might explain it.

GALEN! OMFG GALEN! It's a pity he's probably evil, though. *sighs*

Teyla sounds entirely too happy about Sheppard being okay. My hopes about John/Elizabeth being on its way to canon are crumbling before my eyes. (Helped, of course, by the infamous Joe Flanigan interview, in which he talks about John/Teyla as being "written.") For a while there (read: "Conversion") I thought my ship might be becoming canon. But it seems that the writers have other ideas.

John's in Atlantis! Only ... not. Wow. This is weird. Probably saves on money for the sets, though.

So, where's the pretty girl? Oh, there she is.

Jesus Christ, that old guy looks like he's dying.

Why do we have so many Galen reaction shots? Is he going to stage a coup later, or something?

*giggles* I like the son. He's funny, in an "OMG EVIL" way.

Of course John doesn't want anyone to do anything. He's going to be sexed up by the princess, and he doesn't want to screw that up.

Dinner around the poor people's table ... holding hands! *dies* And ... and it's McKay and Teyla and Ronon! My favorite Atlantis threesome! *loves*

The princess is a blonde ditz! *sighs* Although the prince really is rather funny.

Galen reaction shot again. That boy is so going to sell out his masters.

The prince is entirely unconcerned with his father's health. Maybe he's poisoning his father?

And ... here comes the half-naked woman scene. *sighs*

I love this music. It's so ... funny, and light-hearted, and she doesn't have good kissing style so I'm having trouble taking this seriously.

I almost missed the "ruler" comment, too. If John hadn't called attention to it, I would have completely missed it. So I guess he's paying more attention than I thought. And luckily for us, he's still thinking with the proper head.

You know, I actually kind of thought, from what few spoilers I knew from this episode, that the princess was actually a good person, and strong, and not such a ... well, a ditz. Although she seems to be strong enough to overcome John's reservations on the matter. *grumbles* *tries to remind herself that spacewhores are for today, but Elizabeth is for life*

Okay, John looks a little upset. So, did he sleep with her or not?

*loves Galen* He's so SMRT! *giggles* And British, too.

John's gonna bring in BECKETT! Yay! *loves* And Ronon helps him with his stuff.

*giggles* The Prince! He's hilarious! I have no idea why ... it's not like I think he's hot, just really funny.

Hmm. So Galen isn't as good as I thought he was.

Oh, wow, that's a hell of a lot of puddlejumpers. They need to bring some of this stuff back with them. Drones, PJs ... they could just totally restock.

And of course, John brings up the gene therapy.

McKay's gonna get hurt. Why didn't they bring someone else down there, like Ronon or Teyla? This is why we have things like teams, so that they can help each other. Although I suppose that if they're trying to hide the fact that McKay is gone, they really should be keeping as many people on the surface is possible ...

Heh. John's on the balcony overlooking the "gateroom." Bet he misses Elizabeth.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I laugh uncontrollably whenever the prince is on the screen, even if it's just a glance. It's not like he's even that funny. I just ... I can't take him seriously at all.

Whoa. That's a lot of drones. But McKay's about to get trapped. Again. He already did this, though. It's called "Grace Under Pressure." *sighs*

Teyla and Ronon are about to get medieval on their asses. Or maybe just Ronon. *loves* But they're going to get kicked out, aren't they?

Is Galen evil or not?

"That leaves us only one option." I'm guessing transporters. Because, you know, if it's that similar to Atlantis ...

Of course John wants Mara to come with him. This is ... *thinks about slaughtering John*

Oh, Galen is evil. But I thought that Beckett and Elizabeth were supposed to be put at knife-point? *grumbles* I need to stop reading spoilers, because they just spoil (pun intended) my enjoyment of the episode. Although they never really tell me that much in the first place.

*giggles* The prince! He's funny! And he's not the poisoner? Cool! (Okay, so he's still evil. So what?)

"I really need to stop making house calls." *snerk*

Hee. McKay said "sturdy shaft." *is twelve*

"Beloved friend." McKay/Teyla OTP! *giggles* And, as usual, Teyla is the only one capable of shutting McKay up.

Is it just me, or does the princess look pregnant?

*loves the prince*

All McKay has to do is use up the remaining ZPM power, and he'll be just fine. Why doesn't anyone think of these things, like I do?

And ... now he's using my idea, several minutes after I suggested it. I am smarter than Rodney, OMG!

Ronon's a much better fighter than John. I'm sorry, but John fighting the guards? Just pathetic.

*SQUEE* THE BALCONY! It's back! And Elizabeth's on the balcony and John is coming out to see her and OMG it's just like the first season and it's perfect and shippery and they haven't even said anything yet I'm just looking at a still frame and EEEE!

"Got the girl." Elizabeth is jealous! And John did turn Mara down. Good boy. Turned down the kingship, too ... also a good boy. Almost makes up for the Mara fiasco.

Um ... wow. Admittedly I'm not exactly a very good judge of this, but that entire last scene? Felt like blatant flirting. Just ... the way Elizabeth is moving, and such. And John felt the need to talk about "getting the girl" with her, which ... um. Either he considers her an extremely close personal friend, or he somehow feels the need to prove that he is OMG HETEROSEXUAL MALE. And ... well, I'm sure that you can read your own meanings into that.

I want to know what happened with the prince.

Next Episode: John and Elizabeth kiss. Rodney doesn't look surprised in the least. *giggles*

Well. That was an enjoyable three hours. *grins* Now it's time for dinner.
