Wow. I thought bedhead was bad. Apparently you really want to worry about chair hair.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Atlantis:

Apparently they're taking cues from Star Trek TOS and the episode called Miri.

I'm surprised they didn't just call the team "grumps."

" Bonk Bonk! "

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Two points stick with me. Well, three, but the third one's mostly "Don't kill my woobie again!!!!" and then there are some strangled gasps. Took a lot of work to get it down to third, too.

The other two are -- Sam sure had a weird hand switch on her gun in one of her early game appearances. Lovely forearms, clumsy weaponwork. Made me sad.

AND, Sam and Daniel had some great head-tilting going on there when Teal'c was puzzling them in game. Sweet.

I spent a fair amount of time at the end yelling "Shoot them both!" but in retrospect that wouldn't have worked if you weren't sure it was Sam, and she was needed to disarm the generator.

Love, love, loved Teal'c and his desperation. Also the SGoneness of it all.

Why are they reusing this actor as Keras? And why couldn't they find an actor with a more 24-year old hairline?

Well if your system is set to be killed off at 24, maybe their bodies are starting to adapt over time to the age...like we have increased the lifespan and don't die of old age in our 40's...nah, I got nothin.

So far, 43 minutes in, I have nothing but contempt for the way the Atlantis team has acted. At no point since the jumper went down have they acted responsibly. A wee bit of a prime directive wouldn't go amiss.

Maybe if they all die in a fiery ball of remorse, it could make it better.

I did keep expecting a gem in their palms to change color, too.

Just thinking about the Smallville Guest Character mentioned upthread. Watching Atlantis gave me the idea.

Maybe the Allen Family has a swiftness gene that can be triggered by the accidents. Anyone else having same accidents would not be activated unless they too carried the gene.

Aw, see, now I was happy to see him again. I liked his former character and the actor is a cutie pie.

Man, there was some nice Teal'C and Daniel biceps in the black T-shirts action last night. There may have been a guh or two from here. I enjoyed the little camera "it's a video game, see!" swings and seeing the animated SG-1 team. Heh. The story was, you know, not the most engaging ever, but I thought they did a nice job with it ... there were some good moments, to be sure. I kept thinking of the old tNG episode where Data created the Sherlock Holmes mystery so that it would actually challenge him. (Loved the Moriarty character.)

Yeah, Atlantis. I kept thinking, who put these children in charge? And I wasn't thinking of the people in the village. And Weir's hair looked funny. Still liking the characters themselves, although their behavior in that ep, NSM. Prime directive, indeed. 'Cause there's no way those boys didn't watch Star Trek. They should know better.
