So after picking up a couple of shifts and working, working, working, I got sick. :( Nothing dramatic, I'm pleased to say. Just the sort of thing where you have to haul a kleenex box around everywhere you go. But it was annoying and a bit exhausting ( Read more... )

I've been feeling a lack of Stargate:Atlantis love and it's gotten me down. But! I refuse to go gently into that dark night! I will misquote poetry if I have too! Or... I could just write about something I love about SGA. Probably less painful that way...

Here's something I adore: The soldier/scientist relationship. They didn't invent it (now ( Read more... )

So I was skimming the comments on xparrot's poll post, and I was surprised to realize I stand pretty much alone on an issue: I've enjoyed the burgeoning romance between Rodney and Jennifer and I think it's been well handled. ( Seriously...it'll only give you heartburn )

This post has been bubbling away in the back of my mind for a while now. Pretty much since the moment I tried to explain my new-found love for Stargate:Atlantis to a friend of mine... and failed utterly. :D Seriously, I stumbled and stuttered and it all ended in a lot of mutual blinking and a quick change of topic.

eta: I want to clarify that this is a question I formed for myself.  It's a vast ( Read more... )

So I’ve been threatening to do this for a while (well, I’ve mentioned it to a couple of people anyway, but one of them felt threatened so...) and here it finally is: My take on the character Dr. Jennifer Keller. (Okay, to be perfectly honest, it’s kind of an ode...so you know, prepare yourselves. *g*)

Spoiler Warning: ALL of season four! (plus some ( Read more... )

Having watched this episode a couple of times and spent far too much time than he was probably comfortable with hashing it out with my husband (we were trapped in a car, and I can be made of evil when I want to be ::mwahaha::), I've come to a conclusion.  I love how Carl Binder and Martin Wood and Brenda James and David Hewlett handled the Rodney/ ( Read more... )
