I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Hee.

I think there are a couple of points where I think "no, uh-uh, too easy." It felt less like "oh, of course, they'd do that" and more like "oh, well, they have to do that so the plot goes where she wants it to go." But on the other hand, where she wanted to go was lots of fun, so.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It was sheer self-indulgence from end to end, which is fun when it's done this well.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

What fandom are we talking? Links?

Yeah, there was a sense of inevitibility from the very beginning, but getting there was a fun ride.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Well, it's shalott. You're pretty secure in the knowledge that John and Rodney aren't going to die in a horrible accident.

God help me if she ever decides to write that story.

Well, they could die in a horrible accident and then get better...

ETA: Wait, have any of the Atlantis folks died yet? Not counting alternate versions? Sheppard, in 38 Minutes, I guess.

Man, they are way behind on deaths and resurrections.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

What's sad is that before reading any of the fanfic, I absolutely didn't see any subtext on the show (while rolling my eyes that the then Xena-esque Teyla and Sheppard were so obviously headed for coupledom). Now not only is Teyla cool, but I can't watch Sheppard and McKay hopping with excitement after the former flings the latter over a railing without thinking "yeah, they're doing it."
