'Stargate' comments

[waves at chiroho] Gee, I usually don't get to do this. ^_^

• When Jack is delivering terms to our least-favourite politi... second-least third- fourth-... erm, our least-favourite fictional politician Kinsey, long-time director Andy Mikita has, behind the pompous politician, the American flag -- of course. Behind Jack, however, is an Air Force poster with the word 'Attitude' clearly visible.


• Speaking of the director, his name shows up on the side of the surveillance truck as 'MikitaCourier'.
• I don't blame the captain for her linguistic decision, btw. I don't speak Russian myself, but I think I've got a decent ear and Daniel's accent sounds pretty awful. Don't know if that's on purpose so much....
• Didn't they use that house they took Daniel to before, in that episode where he takes over the world to protect it from the Goa'uld? (I'm quite bad at titles)
• Most pleasantly, I had somebody in the room talking loudly during most of this episode. Thank goodness for re-airs.
• Bwah. Doncha lurve it when they use actor's headshots right off their resumes as props?
• [sniffs air] Oh, look! Sweeps month and getting near the end of the season. No wonder we're all nearly cliffhangy-like.

• [compares Teal'c's fatigues to Ford's] Is sleevelessness the new 'I'm the tough warrior dude' look? I'd count Tayla too, except she has what is probably called 'babe factor' which takes precedence.
• CHICKEE huts?!? Space Miccosukee? Crossed with those natives John Crichton lived with when he got lost, apparently.... (Imagined note on production paperwork: 'Blow greenery budget for season with rental palms and banana plants.')
• The amazing disappearing mask! Behind Sheppard, didja see it?
• Ooo, look, throwaway series continuity. :D
• Does anybody know if the designs on the control centre stair risers are Ancient text? The designs look pretty similar to the alphabet.
• 'Oh my God, he's Kirk.' BESTEST line!
• ...so why does she have that little scar on her lip?

Commercial break: So yeah, it's not the REAL Constantine, but divorcing oneself from hopes of even vague application to canon, how does the trailer for Keanu's movie look to people?

*marries both Daniel and Rodney for this week's episodes*

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

Hee. Obviously a fondness for the geekboys (nice suit, Daniel). I thought it was interesting to see Rodney as a group leader; he handled the 'hot zone' crisis pretty well, I thought.

Obviously a fondness for the geekboys

Who, me? *looks innocent* Daniel's suit was *fantastic*, and you know, Rodney looks more and more like the guy who ought to just be in charge of the whole thing. Weir and Shepwhore are both kind of useless.

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

(You just like calling him 'Shepwhore'. ^_^ )

Dudette, he's too rude to be in charge!

(You just like calling him 'Shepwhore'. ^_^ )
Hey, if the shoe fits...

Dudette, he's too rude to be in charge!
What this arrangement needs is a little rudeness! He could keep all the obnoxious scientists in line, and then Weir could go out and do the negotiating herself, since Shepwhore's clearly failing at it.

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

I don't think he was 'whorish' with Chaya at all. Rather sweet, really, far less dramatic than The Good Captain.

(Kirk, duh)

But yeah, Weir would do better with on-site negotiation. :nodnod:

[jenavira.livejournal.com]

He wasn't bad to her, it's just that his first reaction was "ooh, pretty lady" and that's been the case with *every* woman they come across. I can't even tell if they're trying to give him canon sexual tension with Teyla or Weir. It's a bit embarassing, really.

^_^

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

He's young, good-looking and straight -- of COURSE his reaction's going to be 'ooh, pretty lady,' but he hasn't let it get in the way of work as far as I can tell. Stargate's never specialised in overtly shippy in the usual fannish sense for their serving military anyway. Sam's engagement I found both surprising and... disturbing (NO, Sam! Bad colonel!)

And Weir's supposed to have whatshisrecycledness back home, so there may be an underlying attraction, but nothing I think they'll ever act on; the command conflict they had in the other ep was more of a ding on their friendship and working partnership than anything else.

Tayla's a lot more plausible; Sheppard actually seemed embarrassed having her catch him out going on a date with someone ELSE.

Re: ^_^

[jenavira.livejournal.com]

Ah, But I'm a few episodes ahead of you -- and oooh were they laying on the Shepwhore/Weir in "Letters from Pegasus".

I dunno, I think I'm just inclined to dislike Shepwhore for some reason. I have no idea why.

SG1 will have to be practically perfect in every way to make up for that crumby episode two weeks ago. Daniel's character with Jack's personality, Hammond playing half Picard and half bulldog, creaky Third Season Star Trek plot, etc. etc. a waste of pixels except possibly for Claudia Black, who goddess knows needed the work.

All through this week's episode, I kept speaking Jack's lines half a beat before he did. Have I internalized O'Neill too much perhaps? Ya Think?


-=-=-=-

Much love for Trek Fu in this episode of Atlantis.

Atlantis is going to be The Rodney Show if they don't watch out. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I have a soft spot for "Doctor Pippin." Jim says that Chaya is Q, outcast by the Continuum. He might be right.

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

Aw, c'mon, that ep made me laugh. Giggled through the whole thing, Claudia was hilarious (as we know she is). Still wanna know if the beating-up-the-white-guy-while-wearing-armour was a Farscape joke.

We all need our inner O'Neill (ommmmmmm).

'Trek Fu' - perfect. :D But... 'Doctor Pippin'? What'd I miss/forget? And yeah, somebody should do a compare-and-contrast between the Q and the ascended Ancients, see what we get. Otherwise the Higher Up is gonna get awfully crowded.

[selenesue.livejournal.com]

Dr. Pippin = Dr. Carson Beckett. I thought they both spoke very much the same accent and register. Well, at least they didn't call him Samuel. I like him, and I like how his shoulder flag is the Cross of St. Andrew for Scotland. [heraldic squeee!]

If Ben Browder is joining the cast, and Claudia escaped with an obvious sequel hook, their reunion is inevitable. Wonder if they will make some kind of reference in the dialogue? This is after all the show where they used the verb "to McGyver" in the first episode, just to get it out of the way. [Don't you keep waiting for Captain Archer to say "Oh Boy" just once?]

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

Dr. Pippin = Dr. Carson Beckett
Aha! I see what you mean. It's a brill accent, but according to one of the behind-scenes shows, he's actually Canadian! They did this funny 'on/off' schtick with the Scots....

It doesn't sound dead-on Glaswegian, though. Southwestern, yes, but... I need a linguist. Yo, perceval!

Ben&Claudia: I bet they'll do something subtle. Fanservice, yes, but not garish. It's their style.

Don't you keep waiting for Captain Archer to say "Oh Boy" just once?
Yes, but they blew all their chances, esp. when Dean was guesting, and NOW IT'S CANCELLED, BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! Serves the pimp and the sausage-maker right. Poor Scott, though.
