Head Trauma in Atlantis
So I thought I'd give picspam a go! This is for hc_bingo and fills the 'Head Trauma' prompt on my hurt comfort bingo card.
It's possible I might have one or two too many pictures here - I got a bit carried away!
It has to be said that Atlantis is not the place to go if you want to avoid a head injury - everyone seems to get whapped over the head at every available opportunity. So here's a little pictorial look at the instances of head trauma in Atlantis.
It has to be said that the person that get's hit over the head most is undoubtedly Jason.
We tend to get treated to a lot of shots of Jason either face down or face up on the ground having been smacked over the head, and, likewise, we also tend to gat a fair few shots of him holding his head where he's been hit or on his hands and knees looking dazed.
Quite often though, Jason has been knocked out as a result of his own inattention or lack of basic observational skills - such as here, when he lets Ariadne distract him at the vital moment in a fight.
Of course this leads to the other things that seems to happen fairly frequently in Atlantis - Jason being half carried by his friends...
I do have to ask though, why do none of the bad guys in Atlantis use the pointy end of their swords? Whether it's Colchean soldiers, Atlantian guards or assassins engaged by Pasiphae, they all seem to prefer the option of hitting an opponent over the head with the hilt of their sword to stabbing and killing him.
For instance, Jason has knocked out Medea and taken her blood. As per usual he isn't paying attention to his surroundings and so fails to notice the entire detachment of enemy soldiers that have surrounded him (Jason, honey, I love you but we really need to talk about your attention span). So do they attempt to kill him? No. They hit him over the head and knock him out (actually Goran hits Jason over the head again later when he tries to strangle Pasiphae - I really think the boy needs a crash helmet!).
It turns out that waking up in chains having been knocked out makes Jason pretty cross if his face is anything to go by here.
Even when Jason isn't being knocked out by sword hilts to the head, the guy still can't seem to catch a break.
He's either falling down a cliff face and being knocked out...
...or punched in the face by his best friend's brother.
Of course his friends aren't really content to let Jason have all the fun, so they get in on the act too.
We even get to see Pythagoras with this head injury after they're all safe.
Hercules, however, seems to be taking a leaf out of the bad guys book - although his weapon of choice seems to be a metal dish (where does he always find one from??)
He'll even use it to knock out his friends when they're cursed.
Yep, Jason really can't catch a break. It's definitely time for him to start wearing some kind of helmet.
