Just finished watching the first two new SG-1 eps. It's official, I'm sucked back in. I'd kind of dropped this show, but damn, that was good. (Also looking forward to seeing some of the fic that is no doubt already out there.) I'm also reminded that I keep meaning to rent or otherwise aquire some Farscape dvds.

Now off to watch the Atlantis eps.

I thought it was fascinating (and kind of weird) that all the senior Atlantis staff went back to Earth, leaving Teyla, Bates, and Zelenka in charge.

Yeah, that was a necessary handwave. Even worse was my yelp of outrage when I thought they were going to completely skip over the return to Earth. I'm so spoiled by fic.

Was Bates the guy they sent through the gate to hold Atlantis until the Daedelus arrived?

Bates is the mighty good looking but often crotchety sgt. with whom Teyla, in particular, does not get along. Or, more accurately, he does not get along with or trust Teyla much.

I discovered that the lovely Philip Glass piano piece played in Kara's appartment was actually composed by Glass for that episode. Crap. That means I'll have to wait for the season 2 soudtrack to get a copy of that.

Really? Someone was saying it was "Metamorphosis One."

Yeah, that's it.

My iBook locked up and now I can't find the link where I read that.

No, really.

Here you go: [link]

Oh yeah, I found that. Was trying to figure out where I got the wrong info from: [link] (interview of BSG composer Bear McCreary - interesting).

I misinterpreted the following:

Bear: It's still pretty early to say. Season Two features the first piece of music written by someone other than me or Richard (or Stu Phillips' original BSG theme). I performed a solo piano piece composed by Phillip Glass for episode 02. Should be interesting.

Aah. So it's a cover!
