Stargate: Atlantis

[ratcreature]

Because half of my f-list seems to be talking about Stargate: Atlantis recently, I thought I'd give the series a try too. I mean, a lot of authors I like write SG:A nowadays, and I just don't read fanfic without having seen at least a couple of episodes first

go give trinity a try...even my incredibly non-slashy eyes saw it there :-)

[ratcreature]

Yeah, it looked like there was much squeeing going on for that ep and also the one before, too. (Something about them wearing collars?)

I love it. That's basically the look that I was going to suggest but obviously I got distracted and forgot to actually respond.

I think there is probably a different feel for Atlantis when you watch it week to week, especially the last half of the first season 'cause the tension does build.

Give Trinity a try, if you don't see slash in that episode I don't think you're going to see it, but then I would have thought that The Defiant One was pretty slashy too.

Cool that you like the SG icon. :)

And I agree that it probably would have felt different if I had watched weekly, and not in huge chunks. Even so I did notice the building tension you mention.

[basingstoke]

Hee. That's a very Stargate icon, yes.

For me the Wraith hit the same button as the Magog and the raptors in Jurassic Park. Big nasty predator that you can't really talk to but is uncannily smart.

Also, Zelenka is fairly popular, getting more love all the time. :)

Yay for the Zelenka love! :)

Good to hear that he isn't completely forgotten in the style of the popular OTP "bubble fic" -- you know the kind of fic when all the other characters of an ensemble are forgotten in a slash (or ship) story in favor of a complete focus on the OTP?

And I hadn't considered the Wraith together with the Magog, but you're right, they are similar, though the Magog creeped me out more.
