Yeah, I was going to mention that. Heh.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Overall, I wasn't particularly drawn in to either show last night, although, always a pleasure to see Thor. And I do enjoy the McKay/Sheppard repartee. I see they're trying to do something about Teyla's hair. Don't think they've quite succeeded yet.
I found myslef incredibly distracted during Atlantis because the blond, curly-haired woman annoyed the crap out of me; she was just unwarrentedly surly. And her father didn't look old enough to be her father. And I am supposed to like Colm Meany's characters, or, at least, his TV Sci-Fi characters (I dont want to fence him in, you understand).
I think I might have been in a mood.

No... I think that episode was just totally OFF. Exactly the sort of crap that I was worried we were going to see when I heard about the spinoff being created.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As far as I can tell, the Atlantis folk are dumb. My theory would have been that Weir's not dumb, but why are you sending such lame teams out to do important things like negotiate for food?
That wasn't the ep that TVTome thought was showing last night, so now I'm spoiled for two weeks from now, I guess.
I didn't care much one way or another for this ep. It wasn't as repelling to me as the one where they mess with the Lost Boys.
I don't get the Jenni deception. They pretend to be Amish above surface and military downstairs, excpet for when they parade around in the dumb uniforms upstairs and everyone still gets to carry large guns?
Good luck with that.

Oh, oh, oh. That's the other thing that made me laugh. When woman who annoyed me and her father take Teyla and Rainbow down to the bunker ... they make them wait outside a dressing room while they put on their downstairs clothes? Silly.

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

I wouldn't've minded the surliness if the actress could have, you know, acted. But, well, not so much.
I liked it in general, though. I'll forgive a lot for good Sheppard-McKay snark.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I may have to watch again, as I wasn't thining of the apparent ages of the people and didn't look too closely at the apparent ages of the characters.
In real life I guess he could have been her father, some people do not look old enough to be parents of 18-20 year olds at 40.
However, since parents in TV and movies are often at least two generations older than their children, it seems to create a different set of expectations.
At 51, Colm Meaney is almost old enough to be the grandfather of an adult child.
It would have to be one of those 17 year old, having a kid who at 17 had a kid, things, though...

Surly chick made me think she just wished she could be Eowyn.

Yeah, I very much got an Eowyn vibe when Meany told her she must stay behind to take care of the kingdom bunker, but it was wasted on her.
They never did explain how all those people could be spending all that time in close proximity to all that radiation without dying, did they?

How many generations had they been down there? I glossed over some of the finer points.
I seem to be okay with Stargate secrets. I don't have a problem with the government not revealing the existence of the goa'uld, and if the Jenni want to lie to Teyla, why the hell not? What do they owe her?
What colour is titian? I'm getting a Nancy Drew vibe off of Teyla's hairdo.
