I fear that they're going to DO something with it.

I don't feel they're building towards anything, and hope that there's no last gasp throw them together to end the series thing -- but that's me fearing the worst, not thinking that there's anything pointing in that direction.

My understanding (from the commentary? I think) is that TPTB initially had the characters say "Ashen" (the alien race that snuck in the anti-fertility bio-engineering crap into the panacea) with the accent in the first syllable, then changed their mind about the pronunciation later in the filming and had the characters say it as a-SHEN. Because they had already filmed AT saying "Ashen" several times in the cabin scene with the first-syllable emphasis, they had to dub the dialog later with her pronouncing it the *right* way. Which is a lame-ass reason for interfering with the flow of a very important scene if you ask me, but ehh, WTF do I know?

Well, they did a crap job of it. I guess ADR is a skill like many other aspects of acting, and not one possessed by everyone.

Have shamelessly abused the T1 line at work to download the first unaired SG:Atlantis episode (uhhh, the IT guys could probably trace that I'm doing that, right? :nervous:) and just finished watching it. The badass Shep is of the HOTT. t smokes a cigarette

Also, wow, lots of nibbles for potential Sheppard/Weir shippers. Too bad the actors don't have much in the way of chemistry together. Also, LOVE McKay.

Writing for Teyla is still problematic but she could have been made into a palatable character if she were played an actress who possessed even an iota of gravitas. Sigh.

I am slow, so I only came across this Joe Flanigan interview just now. Aw! He's kind of adorable, damn him.

Yeah, the Teyla actress is hopelessly flutey and unimposing.

See, The Eye just makes me think even more wistfully about McKay and Weir. They have such a great vibe.

...if I ever get into the Atlantis fandom, I ain't gonna be in one of the big shipper factions, am I? Oh well.

Damn you all. Guess I'll be hitting the torrents tonight, then.

McKay didn't make me want to kill him! Major victory. Honestly, I like everything but what Teyla was involved with. I had a lot of fun (and tension) watching it. Instead of thinking they're all morons who won't live out the hour.

Now I have to consider McKay/Weir. Innnnteresting.

::steeples fingers::

So. I'm way far behind. Which sucks. I haven't even seen S2 of MI-5 yet. And I'm hesitant to uncover all the new white font about SG-1, mostly because it seems not pleasing. OK, maybe I'll go download the new Atlantis. I feel so out of the loop. Poor me.

Innnnteresting.

See, it is. It really is. They've got a real, if odd, respect going for each other, and there aren't the "she's supposed to be in charge but he doesn't listen to her" issues that Weir/Sheppard has for me. Also I don't find McKay--or any of the men on Atlantis, really--all that slashable.

Plus, "Rodney" and "Elizabeth." It's adorable.
