Yeah, there was no body left behind.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

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

My DH said the same thing about the necklace fastening scene. Actually, his words were, "You moron! NEVER do stuff like that!"
It's entirely too convenient that Shepherd can fly all the ships and they can READ and USE the Ancients' technology. I want someone to mistake a microwave for a bathroom, or something. I also want interpersonal difficulties, particularly if they're from a dozen nations.
Worlds of agreement.
And I think all the costumers should be fired, except for the one who bought everything off the rack at The North Face. She can stay. The rest must go.
Galaxies of agreement.
I liked the designs of the Wraith ships, though, and I loved the cool ghostly effects on the planet during the attack.
Poor Robert Patrick. He never gets a recurring role. Unless the series has already jumped the shark.
Dr. Weir - dear dog, woman, eat a sandwich!
I was really upset that they (the writers) were just casually destroying the city. It's this amazing archaelogical site, and BLAM! Also, why couldn't the buoyancy happen before the city sacrificed part of itself?
Sheppard reminds me of David Duchovny.
Ah well, SG-1 started off a little rocky also, saved only by RDA.

In the unlikely event of a shield fairlure, your city can be used as a flotation device....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think SG-1 was saved by more than RDA, although he was great right out of the gate. I'm always surprised by how many season one episodes I actually really like.
Enjoyed Atlantis well enough. I would like to hang out with John Sheppard and Rainbow. Weir -- she had a couple moments I couldn't actually see Steen doing as well (some of the uncertainty still on Earth), so maybe she can take the character farther away from the picture left in my mind.
I know I'm falling for Sheppard as O'Neill replacement (both genetically advanced and all), but I'm good with that, because I'm a very simple girl, with simple needs.
ADORED the J/D show. Miss them.
Don't like Beckett much.
Warrior-lady has no appeal for me.

Teyla-the-warrior-woman didn't make me wince, at least. Which for a show like this is actually a promising start.

I'd like to know what the qualifications are for being Leader of Her People, though. Because she's clearly only in her mid-20s. Is this a hereditary position? Or did they all draw straws?
DXMachina - Jul 17, 2004 8:05:43 am PDT #6630 of 10000
You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Maybe she kicked the ass of the guy who used to be leader.

She did state who her parent was, so maybe it is hereditary.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Cocky Man Shows Controlling Woman The Error Of Her Ways
I guess I don't see the scene as a cliché. She's a diplomat by training and nature. Naturally the first instinct is divided between fight and flight. She just wanted to salvage what was left, regroup and assess. He was pointing out, in his sudden role as military lead, that there were other considerations.
Ultimately she considered his objections and agreed to the plan. Such is the perogative of a commander.
Basically I don't see the fact that Weir is a woman has so much to do with that scene.

Absolutely.
It took me a little bit of time to warm up to SG-1 the first season, but RDA was the big reason I kept watching. But yeah, there were several really good episodes.
