OMG STARGATE!

Just finished being mesmerized by both SG-1 and SGA. And watching the encore. *is happy*

Edit - Watching both again (I love my DVR) now that I've had a chance to process both episodes. Also, translation of what the Prior said in Ancient (Latin).



Wow, Vala managed to not call the midwife some Very Bad Names. I'm impressed.

I really should know what the Prior is saying, but I'm having trouble with my Ancient/Latin at the moment. Having to transcribe from the closed captioning and translate.
- "Caleum videre essit, et erus ad sidera tollere vultus."
- He who sees the dark (mist, fog) longs for it, and a Lady (mistress of a household, a goddess) will lift up the face to the stars.

- "Ex uno discare omnus."
- From one all learn.

Ok, I know Daniel isn't dead. He's been dead/not dead so many times that if he had died, he would have simply Ascended and descended again. He'll show back up.

Man, it's weird seeing Jaffa in full armor walking around an Earth ship.

Cam's remarkably clear-headed for having a concussion that knocked him out for several HOURS.

Cam's a damn good pilot, and I loved Sam's "very backseat driving" while he's docking with her. Great special effects.

Let's all have a moment of silence for Colonel Checkov and the rest of the Korelev crew. *is quiet*

So Daniel Ringed off the Korelev. Knew he didn't die.

Take the ZPM from Atlantis? You'd have to pry it from Rodney and/or Radek's cold, dead hands.

Mwa-ha-ha! General Landry telling off the IOC, and wanting their budget! Probably a comment on how much it cost to make the episode.

Aww, Vala naming her daughter.

Hee, Daniel sneaking around yet another enemey ship.

"The Ascended Rulebook" I love Vala's rant about Adria, and how "And if she takes after her mother, she'll have a pretty good figure, too." then "Origin's about to become a lot more appealing to the males of this galaxy."

Naming Adria after Vala's wicked step-mother!

Poor Daniel having to hide next to the bed while Vala and Tomin do whatever. At least she's not molesting Daniel for a change.

Very cool "Chulak is DOOMED!" music.

I love Teal'c glaring at his arm in the sling, then mentally saying "screw it" and taking it off.

Oh, damn, Daniel is hawt in that armor. *drools*

You can tell the producers blew thier budget on visual effects. They're not showing anyone/thing ringing unless absolutely necessary. They're doing the sound and a bright light on the faces of the actors. "This one may be a little over budget..."

Earth is soooo screwed.

~~~

*sniffle* David Nykl didn't make regular cast for this season.

WTF? John uses the "Top Gun" maneuver again? Yes, I knew he would somehow be pulled in the hyperspace envelope with the Wraith Hives. At least now I have that confirmed.

YAY, Radek! Me loves me some Radek. (Gotta have either a Czech or Scottish accent in each episode. Hopefully both. It's a law of nature or something.)

Col. Caldwell is such a better person now that he isn't a Goa'uld. I think I might actually like him. Aww, Elizabeth called him "Steven".

LOL! It's CANON! Rodney downloads porn! Er, music.

Poor Hewlett, being wrapped up in the silly-string from Hell. "I think the writers just tend to like to take it out on McKay, is generally the way it goes. If there's any unpleasantness to be had it's generally happening to McKay." - DH

John, your inner Kirk is coming out again. Pay more attention to your husbands when they're talking. It's important.

Ooh, more interior of a Hive Ship, and the Queen's Chamber. When did she change her clothes, anyway?

Hey, it looks like that "The Pegasus Galaxy" is the Pegausu Dwarf Irregular Galaxy, Peg DIG. See this post where I recently pondered this question. Complete with pictures.

Whee, Elizabeth left her wife, er Teyla, in charge. Wouldn't Carson be in charge, being the Chief Medical Officer, Chief Surgeon, or whatever his title is? Leaving non-Earth human in charge. :D

Hmm, I wonder who would win, the Wraith or the Ori?

Ooh, Wraith quarters...

What, we're supposed to like Michael again? C'mon, I'm getting whiplash from how much he bounces back and forth. Or the writers bounce him back and forth. Is it sad that I'm starting to like him, Wraith or not?

Way to go Elizabeth, feed the IOC their balls! Or what passes for them.

Damn, is David Hewlett being paid by the line for this episode? Probably didn't learn them before shooting, either. "The more I feel I'm going to screw up my line, the faster I'll start talking. So, if I talk fast enough I'm hoping people won't notice that I'm missing every third or fourth word." - DH

Oh, heaven help us all. Maj. Lorne has command of the Orion, with Radek as his Science Officer. The Orion is doomed. Not to mention that Dr. Parrish is going to be jealous that Lorne has a new scientist.

Damn, the back and forth between John and Michael is almost as good as the snark between John and Rodney.

I love that Michael has retained some human gestures, along with his Wraith gestures/posture. Hissing at the drones when they wouldn't let him past then later (in his quarters) shrugging shoulders, tilting his head in confusion, holding a palm out in the "what more do you want?" gesture. Then back to near hissing at other Wraith.

Pretty CG effects...

YES! Radek - "I'm trying, do prdele!" SGA is taking a page out of the Firefly "bypass the censors" book. Say it in Czech, and they won't catch that Radek just said "I'm trying, fuck it!"

OMG, Zelenka "I just cannot give you what I do not have!" Hmm, "I canna get any more out of 'er, Capt'n!"

I love the McKay joke about DOS. I was laughing before he said that it was hilarious.

:( Orion go boom. It was a pretty boom, though.

Aww, John couldn't stand Cam piloting the Odyssey, so now he has to pilot the Daedalus.

Well, at least Rodney has the other half of his brain back. Go Radek and Rodney!

I almost like Michael as a Wraith. Begone Wraithified-plotbunnies, begone!

Hey, look, an entire ship full of LotR extras!

Rodney almost looked cool with his P-90 aimed at the Queen.

John, you should know better than to EVER say "I think we're out of the woods...". Really, you should know better by now.

What is it with Atlantis and 3-part episodes?

Ok, I'm going to squee in silence now.
