I love these two episodes. I think they might be my favourite of all of Atlantis ( ... )

Rewatching while I'm sick, so randomly commenting... I haven't done this before, so I hope it's right! (Oops, okay, I think I was supposed to have done this last week, but this is my sick week, so I'm going to do both The Storm and The Eye ( ... )

Welcome! And sure, you're doing it right! (Folk may be watching the entry for "The Eye" at this point, though. If anyone's there at all, that is. Echoooooo ....)

Aww, "only inappropriate clothing". Hee!

Yeah, you'd think after John's "negotiations" with the Genii, he'd be the last person Elizabeth would send out to ask for favors, wouldn't you?

I'm not sure Aiden does have the gene, at least yet - apparently in "Hot Zone" he hasn't yet had the gene therapy and is therefore susceptible to the virus.

Rodney/Radek geeking out, yay! I should revisit that scene more often. I've never tried to incorporate that aspect into my fic, and I totally should!

Ah, that's right, Aiden doesn't have the gene in "Hot Zone"... Carson really should have said "I'm not a real pilot." It's odd that Ford doesn't ask for the gene therapy earlier. You'd think that as a soldier, he wouldn't want to rely on *McKay* being their back-up pilot on missions.

Heh. That's a good point ... but in terms of mindset, he's a Marine, so he might just not really think in those terms yet. With the jumpers, you need to be a pilot (of sorts) to "drive" ... but then again, they don't seem to take the jumpers on all that many early missions. Until "Hot Zone", there doesn't seem to be a huge advantage to having the gene, at least not for lower-rank Marine officers; and it is still an experimental therapy, which might make him nervous. All those stories of experimental treatments used on soldiers .... (Watch me spin! :>)
