So after 5 years of watching Stargate Atlantis, including 2 years after it went off the air, it has finally dawned on me that I am a motherfucking idiot. It has always bugged me that they don't wear their Atlantis patches half the time. I swear to GOD, I thought it was an oversight. That black velcro staring me in the face and mocking me with their prop department's incompentance, I thought. Why can't you jsut remember to slap the patch on there, damnit? Jesus, you fools. Idiots. Why, I asked, why is that velcro just sitting there all lonely? Stupid, stupid SGA.
Hello.
Genii. Wraith.
Stop telling people we're from Atlantis.
It never ONCE dawned on me that they intentionally stopped wearing their Atlantis/country patches on PURPOSE so as not to GIVE AWAY THEIR LOCATION.
I'm always "gah, I hate when they make it so obvious" and "show us the story don't tell it to us" and "don't explain it, just let it be". And yeah. They let that be? And for 7 years I DIDN'T GET IT.
Bravo, SGA. I can not believe you outsmarted me. Did they really never mention why they didn't wear the patches anymore? Because god damn that's clever.
I'm a moron.
ETA: Can I just point out that I'm not completely obtuse? Because I did notice they weren't wearing them anymore, I just didn't... ya know, put 2 and 2 together and get 4. I got like, -3.
