SGA 3x01 - No Man's Land

[moonlettuce]

I'll prefix this post by saying one thing: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

*ahem*

"Previously on Stargate: Atlantis..." Oh, how I've missed those words!

Rodney! woobie!

John Sheppard does Star Wars *grin*

Caldwell looking all worried.

Ha! Sheppard *really* does Star Wars...

That is so not a good shot of Paul McGillion in those opening credits, y'know.

And we're *still* not allowed to know McKay's first name! (Although I like the fact that Joe is first in the titles and David is last, because it give me a wonderful sense of symmetry.)

Hubert!

And Connor Trinneer's name is there - although is he in it, or is it just the teaser section recap he's in.

And Robert Picardo! Hee! When fandoms collide.

Lorne! Oh, Lorne! Go and have sex with John and Rodney. (Damn you z_rayne and casspeach for making that threesome stick in my head...)

Ooh, she called him Steven.

Damn, Weir's telling Caldwell to pretty much sacrifice the Daedalus. Which shows that the writers are finally writing Elizabeth as someone who knows that the hard choices have to be made and is prepared to make them.

lol! And Rodney admits he downloads porn...

Hee! Rodney calls Ronon 'big guy' *grin*

Ooh, we're at the SGC.

Okay, so they're pulling Weir back to the SGC for a briefing. Doesn't that strike them as a tad stupid?

Wow. Did they have 5 seconds of blank time to fill so they had to shove in that gate travel sequence.

*snort* Ronon's trying to get out and snaps at Rodney who responds:

Rodney: Okay, let's say a magic fairy comes down and grants you one wish and we get out.

Does that make John the magic fairy?

Ooh, and Sheppard tries to get Rodney and ends up talking to Michael. And Michael tells him what part of the ship to target.

Go, Elizabeth!

Ha! Ronon produces a knife.

Rodney: Where did you get that?!

Hermiod!!

Lorne and Zelenka on the Orion. Which means if it goes wrong then Atlantis loses her military commander and his 2IC *and* her head of sciences and his 2IC. I mean, it's not going to go wrong, because, hello! But still.

And the Orion takes out one of the hive ships!

Rodney and Ronon have got to a control panel to do some damage.

Rodney: Oh, their operating system is a mess. Thank goodness I remember DOS...

And Sheppard and Michael find Ronon and Rodney.

Rodney: (speaking) Where did you come from? (thinking) I could throw you to the ground right now...

Lorne and Zelenka back on the Daedalus.

And the others boys are beamed on board.

Eek! The Daedalus took out the remaining hive's weapons, but lost life support. They only have nine hours of air. But they have Rodney and Radek who will activate their wonder twin powers and save the day!

lol! 200 people on board and 20 tanks of air.

Rodney: So I guess buddy breathing our way out of this one's out of the question.
Radek: *looks at him*

*grin*

Ooh, ooh, ooh, they're going to beam the retrovirus into the hive ship and then fly the hive back to Atlantis.

They beam into the hive ships and the Wraith are all human - although some of them are dead. A few of them head towards the Queen's chambers and see her bent over.

Lorne: It's okay, you'll be alright now.

Only, it hasn't worked on her and she's still Wraith. She grabs Lorne by the throat and goes to kill him when Sheppard, Ronon and (I think) Rodney all shoot her.

Lorne: Didn't work on her.
Rodney: Beckett wondered if the females would be immune.
Lorne: Something you might have mentioned before she almost killed me, Rodney.

Yes, that entire recap was purely for the point of me being able to go: eee! Lorne called him 'Rodney'!

Rodney: I only thought of it now *helps Lorne to his feet*

*will not write McKay/Lorne, will not write McKay/Lorne*

*Will possibly write Sheppard/McKay/Lorne...*

And it ends with:

Sheppard: They're all human and the air's good. I think we're out of the woods. *To be continued*

Oh, Atlantis, how I've missed you...

[opheliafic.livejournal.com]

I'm telling you! I am all over SG1 and Atlantis this season. I can not believe they made this a two-part opening!!! ARGH!!! Need more....

[hampden.livejournal.com]

er, can I add this to my wishlist please? ;) Well, if you're going to tease and tantalise...

I also love Rodney's line about flying away on the wings of imagination. And when he says that if they are on the ship much longer that he will eventually need to eat something.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's so good to have him back :D

So, me and simply_fly_away, saffronra, solittleshame and glaelia sat down to watch it at like 9pm on Saturday after the house warming party lost the people who didn't care about SGA and there was wine and laughter and Glae was the only one who had seen it and the only one telling people to shut up and man, Ronon pulling a knife from the same place Captain Jack keeps his gun (I'm convinced) and Lorne! Lorne called Rodney Rodney! I remember very little about it but these two things. But man, LORNE! *g* (collective sighs of 'Oh, I LOVE Lorne' went up as well)

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Much, much Lorne love for this episode.
