Seeing the Aquarium episodes out of order blinded me to the slash until I saw the one with the force field thingy in reruns. Suddenly all the bickering and squabbling between the two took on a whole new vibe. But it's also there pretty strongly (at least on McKay's part) in "Sanctuary."
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
They were terribly cute with the forcefield. Hell, they're just terribly cute point blank.
....I'm finding myself thinking, though, that SG1 and SGA are very very close to being Wormhole Extreme.
(And I think I need to buy the Wormhole Extreme patch that I found on ebay...)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Then there's the occasional Weir/McKay...

Zelenka! Finally, Zelenka! And, man, I'm so chuffed about a Czech character cropping up. And speaking Czech! Yay for that!
Bates is very unlikeable, isn't he? And Arsey!Science!Guy with the plait.
It strikes me that maybe they were going for a sort of Sigourney Weaver vibe with their casting of Weir.

I still think I like Jessica Steen better, in part because TH's Weir is so... uncertain in many ways. Although she does do a marvelous slapdown of Kavanagh (Arsey!Science!Guy, Fay).

It was a good slapdown. That scene (in, er, GiantPlasticBugChowsDownOnShepAndTheyGetStuckInTheGate episode) really punched my teacher buttons.
But I'm a lot more DoNotFuckWithMe when my authority is challenged. I mean, in stuff where I'm not AuthorityChick, I'm very placid about taking a back seat and doing what I'm told, but if it's my thing, my area of responsibility and expertise, 'specially if I'm being patronised by a bloke - wow, I am an unpleasant short woman.

I didn't see the Sheppard/McKay ho!yay (ha ha that rhymed) until "Underground" (the one with the math bonding ). There was an echo of that (complete with the long pregnant look) in this last episode as well, with the throwaway chess bit . Someone said over on prime_not_prime (LJ community for Atlantis discussion of a slashy bent) that the Weir/Sheppard in the premiere was almost the subtext compared to the McKay/Sheppard text. I wouldn't go that far, but I do think they're being remarkably restrained with the Weir/Sheppard - on any other show there would have been entire episodes devoted to THEIRLOVEISSOPURE unrequited wacky misunderstanding B/S.
I don't watch Smallville so I can't compare it to Clex but I did think that Angel/Lindsey was so obvious that it practically smacked one in the face - McKay/Sheppard is nowhere near that blatant but I do think the hints are there for those that are open to the possibility.
re: 4400 - Has anyone noticed how that new chick, Alonna (what's her face actress name), is a dead ringer for Catherine Zeta-Jones? The BF remarked that he kept expecting her to break into shills for T-mobile.

I've unsubscribed from this thread, so apologies if this has already been linked, but here is a look at the new Doctor Who.

OMG! I just got home from work and turned on SciFi as a matter of routine and there on my very home screen was Firefly! I had forgot that this was happening. Shiny.
