Stargate Atlantis - 2x16 - The Long Goodbye

[moonlettuce]

Isn't this supposed to be Michael? What happened? *is confused*

Flashback to Critical Mass! Y'know, Shep took out a Goa'uld. He's the Boy! (okay, Ronon helped...)

Rodney's thoughts on TV: Fictional representations of ridiculously attractive people in absurd situations...

*snerk* Teyla and Ronon need to have sex *right now.*

lol! Rodney's too good for TV. Oh, you so know he has every single episode of Star Trek downloaded on one of the laptops.

Don't go for the coffin-shaped things! Have you never watched a horror movie set in space before?

And Caldwell is back. And he's un-Goa'ulded!

And Shep steps back when Caldwell enters *g* And Rodney has the same sort of reaction. Oh, yeah, our boys think alike *g*

So Liz steps closer and gets zapped by a white light. Jesus, woman, much like the others, you have never watched a sci-fi show have you? Don't go down in the cellar. Never agree to stay in a haunted house. Don't step up to the coffin-shaped life-pods containing unconscious aliens. It's the rules, don't ya know...

Is it just me, or is this a filmed, het version of Referencing Gilbert Ryle?

Okay, if John has agreed to host the hubby, who is about to write the missing scene when he's trying to get Rodney to agree to let him do it?

John: I guess I'll see you guys later. Why the hell did I agree to do this?
Rodney: Have fun. Touch that alien bitch and you die.

Oh noes! They lied! What a surprise!

Lorne! You got taken out by a girl!

Hubert! Hubert, yay!

Dammit, Rodney, stand up to him!

God dammit, Ronon, stop flashing that tattoo. You're making me want to lick you.

Rodney: I think I just located one of them near the power room...
*everything goes dark*
Rodney: Aww, you're kidding!

Ronon! Don't trust him! Just shoot him! And don't turn your bloody back on him!

Weir shot Ronon!

Teyla: I can handle Dr Weir...

Oh, Teyla, honey, I bet you can ;)

Not!Liz locks down the city:

Caldwell: Can you hack it somehow? Override her code?
Rodney: You do know who you're talking to?
Caldwell: So that's a yes?
Rodney: I'm just saying, if anyone can, I can. I helped design the system
Caldwell: Then do it, please.
Rodney: Alright, but I'm using *my* command code.
Caldwell: Why? Because you still don't trust me?
Rodney: No. Because it is a sixteen digit alphanumeric code that I will have to enter god knows how many times, and I haven't got around to memorising yours yet.

lol! Which implies that Rodney has memorised most, if not all, of the senior staff's command codes. Good grief, that boy could cause some trouble if he ever wanted to.

Good god, Hubert's getting a lot of lines this episode.

Okay, so they mean to have not!Sheppard tell Teyla, "He cares for you more than you know," and then flick to Rodney looking like someone just killed his cat?

lol! And then Lorne arrives when it's all over. Poor Lorne.

I loved Rodney's expressions in this episode. :) yeah I'm not sure if the writers realize how the episode looks to us slash fans...or they do know and purposely put in all those meaningful glances. In which case I love them even more. :)

And half of those shots to Rodney were completely superfluous. They so did not need to be in there *g*

Are we going to have to physically restrain you at Peg 1 next month then? ::grins::

I know! And that wasn't the only such moment. I can't remember the others and it's too late now to re-watch it (damn) but there were at least 4 or 5 others ::sighs:: The not-so-great writing and possibly not exemplary directing in places was made up for by those though ::happy sigh::

I'll be good. Honest.

I'm just waiting for the 'Rodney wants revenge on someone' episode - we've seen it enough in fic, and this being SGA, it's gonna happen. The implication that he's memorised everyone else's command code was a perfect off-the-cuff moment. *hugs Rodney*

Good god, Hubert's getting a lot of lines this episode.

And yet no name! *sigh* He doesn't need a name to have fangirls though. :)

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

He's Hubert. So utterly and totally a Hubert. *nods*

Is it just me, or is this a filmed, het version of Referencing Gilbert Ryle?

I thought the exact same thing. About five minutes in I was like "Wait, I've already read this fic a couple times. When do Rodney and John get to the sex part already?"

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

I know! (And if only they had got to the sex part, we would all have been much happier ;)

So, why does the alien in Weir choose the most military looking guy for her enemy to take over? Why not choose an unfit person who you can easily kill?

Sorry. Have been in staff training all day and had nothing else to do with my brain.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

The part of me that wants this to make sense says it's because she wanted a fight. That just killing him wasn't enough; she needed to prove she was better than him.

The bit of me that is pretty sure it knows how the writers think says it's because the thought of an average Stargate writer goes "Huh-huh, must make boy and girl kiss now..."

Yay, another rec of TLG!

I enjoyed this episode - ::sigh:: more dark tight tee shirts... who could resist?

Rodney and the tee shirt; OMG, I was practically wide-eyed. I'm capping the episode in HR at the moment and I can't help but stare at this guy either! I can't explain it but the snarkier he gets, the more I love him!

Hubert has more lines than Zelenka, I've been informed... hmm, maybe it's time he got a name!

I really enjoyed reading your comments and completely agree with them.

Poor Lorne, late and don't know what happened to his hair!

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Thing is, if they give Hubert a name, and it's not Hubert, then I'll still ahev to call him Hubert. Because, to me, he's Hubert. *grin*

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

ahev

Wow. Let's pretend that says 'have' and just ignore the complete spaz my fingers just made *g*
