Stargate Atlantis; you WILL be assimilated...

[permetaform]

::covers eyes:: so like lierdumoa pimped SGA like whoa and shoved the eps into my hand and I finally finished the first disc so I thought I may as well post the progress notes that I've been saving up.

It's mostly shameless squee; totally feel free to join in! =D

Also; pretty please don't spoil me for future eps, even if to answer my speculations.



Ep 1&2 Rising

- Dude, they weren't kidding about the Jack/Daniel

- awwww, John issocute. and confused.

- Like, Dude. They REALLY weren't kidding about the Jack/Daniel

- No, like, REALLY. Jack/Daniel. wtf. Canon hammer, yo. ::boggle:: Which is astonishing to me 'cause I've been in a fandom where the majority of the fic is centered around slash for two characters who'd spent 5 min. in the same room with each other and in comparison this is like, yanno. ::flails::

- everyone is adorable!! omg. They're all like "Squee!" awwwww!

- John. Sheppard's. Hair. Dude, his hair! The *mushroom* *head* with the goggles. DUDE. ::glee::

- o.0 he just de-mathed rodney!

- turkey sandwich! BWAH! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the use of soundtrack here!

- wow, john just flirts with everything that moves eh? (and most things that *don't* move)


Ep2. Hide and Seek

- omg john&rodney issocute. wah!

- sheppard/football otp XD. he's also hogging the popcorn LIKE WHOA.

- okay, so the ancients are trying to ascend to become energy. Aaaaand there's possible gene therapy with shadow creature that is energy and that *eats* energy.

::cough:: is just me, or does that sound vaguely Wraith-like?

oh please don't tell me it's a "oops, accidentally became Wraith" kinda thing?? please??? o.o

- hee, shield blinks off!

- awww rodney! awwww! (I sense an ot3 developing...)


Eps 3~6

I didn't take much notes for these eps, but I really really must say that John Sheppard's hair is awe inspiring in its...::flails:: thatness. It's

Inexplicable.

Ineffable, even.

Like, I would forget...and then THERE it is again. o.0 How is it possible for hair to DO that? Honestly! ::flails::

Also, like, it really is physically impossible for Sheppard to not flirt, huh? 'Cause like, you hear it described, but you really really just have to *see* it...


Ep 7 Poisoning The Well - HOLY EPISODE LOVE

- Thinking out loud: what's up with this show and its themes of sacrifice?

also the vault of knowledge = price of knowledge?

Wraith = age? As in the Wraith representing aging? ::ponders::

what is the price of hunger? Especially if the Wraith are the Ancients who had a lab accident with Shadow genes while trying to Ascend...what would you do to live? Would you eat thinking beings? Would you sacrifice your fellow men? Would you sacrifice your teammates?

- the captured Wraith is meditating in the same position (or hand position) as the Athrosians? (sp??)

- caged Wraith like contained death, so creepycool

- So strange of seeing a show having and dealing with humans being in a predator-prey relationship where humans are on the prey side. I wonder if cows feel this way.

- They tested giving the Wraith other live subjects, but only humans lives will do?....dude, Wraith = Reavers? Why specifically human lives? Or are we just tastier?

- interesting with way the fade on Dr. Wier's reflection goes to the caged wraith

- wow, nice paralleling of medical ethics and martial ethics? BioE Ethics playing relay with Ethics of POWs and Sheppard is playing Interrogator and ooooo, nice mental place.

- ...WOW. Guy is *stripping* before the Wraith. They went there. This is all like prison/slave something something fantasy gone wrong and ....o.0 DUDE. This. dude.

- also, I'm kinda sorry for Steve. They tricked him with the food...

But sorta in that way that if I was a cow I would be regretful that I'd be a mad cow and thus make burgers that would kill people, 'cause killing people would suck.

- Ohhh! and like the nuclear standoff issue! Wow I LOVE THIS EP.

- OH GOD THANK GOD THEY DIDN'T COP OUT THE ENDING.

This ep, god, whirly bits of thoughts on this one, I'll definately have to watch this one over again. I love how on one level this ep is so simple, and yet...and yet. Sheppard as an unwilling interrogator and Beckett arguing medical ethics and Wier with that slippery slope and it allll slippery slopes and it's like a nuclear standoff, but not, and the vault and the caged tiger and what would you do to live?


Ep8. Underground

- OH MY GOD RODNEY AND JOHN, HOW CUTE ARE THEY BEING LOST. XD

- hah! a-bomb science project. ::gigglefit::

- oh god rodney, you really have no self-preservation in the face of other people being wrong, do you? ::snortfle::

- wait. is that O'Brian????? o.0

- wait. Did.

- wait. John, he.

Wow. Really Sheppard has chemistry with everybody/everything, no? Like, really. ::boggles::


Ep.9 Home

- OMG THIS IS SO WIERD. SO WIERD. o.o MAKE IT STOP.

- ::waits for other shoe::

- TELL ME THERE'S ANOTHER SHOE. TELL ME.

- OMG THERE *HAS* TO BE ANOTHER SHOE. I AM MISSING A *SHOE*.

- and THERE's the SHOE. ROCK, that's a marvelous use of discontinuity. =D

- ...John Sheppard just took a drink of beer while holding his party hostage. I haven't seen a held-at-gunpoint senario this entertaining since Lex Luthor on drugs. ::is highly amused::

- o.0 Wow, but fake!Rodney is creepy.

- YAY! Sheppard Mind-Fu'ed the illusion! XD

- the mist as ascended or pre-ascended?

Episode wins for Most Disturbing Episode Ever. I swear I almost turned it off in the beginning 'cause I thought it'd gone all wierd and...not-something ::flails::; I'm SO glad I stuck with it...


Ep.10 The Storm

- ohhhhh Sheppard/Atlantis otp. He has faith yo. FAITH.

- oh god. Rodney! ::facepalmish giggles:: poor Zelenka. (who's omgsofluffy in this ep)


Ep.11 The Eye

- "WWMKD?"!!!! XD

- oh rodney, you and your delicate constitution ::pets::

- its absurd how adorable everyone is even whilst looking like drowned rat. ::boggle::

- oh ford! ::woobles::

- oooo knife fight!

- oooo marksmanship. hawt.

- ot3! =D

Dude, what kills me is that this ep is called The Eye, 'cause you know, even when the hurricane has ended, the larger storm is still coming and and wah! Also, Ninja!John and Brave!Rodney and with that surprising way that Wier is trembling and strong and the remarkable part of this is that they didn't try to separate this out in her, it's a strength that's very much *different* from the others in a way that I'm struggling to define. Because while Teyla's strength is also a sort of female strength, it's both similar and different to Wier's. huh.

YAY! Welcome to the dark side.

And let me know if you want fic recs... *vbeg*

[suzvoy.livejournal.com]

You know what I love?

'DO NOT TOUCH. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. MCKAY'

Bwa!

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

The Jack/Daniel in the first two episodes had me on the floor gasping for breath I was squeeing so hard. 'I love you and I'm not letting you out of my sight on a one-way trip to a distant galaxy. Deal.' ::swoons:: Okay, slight paraphrasing, but not much.

And I started out a Ford/Shep shipper after Rising but, like a lot of people, gradually gravitated to McKay/Sheppard although as you point out, Sheppard flirts with everyone so let's not limit ourselves here...

[astolat]

Woo! Go lierdumoa! *cheers*

[troutkitty.livejournal.com]

The pilot had me so dropping of the jaw as well! And the Storm/the Eye is still my absolute favourite. With the cutting and the wet, and the Kolya...

I (heart) Kolya

*bounce*

GIP!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

But, um, yes.

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

OMG THERE *HAS* TO BE ANOTHER SHOE. I AM MISSING A *SHOE*.

::dies for love of you::

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

Those were the DVD's seperis sent to me. I am but a link in a chain.

BTW (to permetaform) you are still missing "Defiance", so come over this weekend and we will watch it.

[climb-on.livejournal.com]

OMG ISN'T THIS SHOW COOL OR WHAT. :D :D

Seriously, this fandom is sucking everyone in. It's AWESOME.

[turtlespeaks.livejournal.com]

YES!! And another succumbs to the greatness that is SGA!! MWAHAHAHA!!

Sheppard/Atlantis/Rodney! OT3!!

And yes, the Jack/Daniel, they were not kidding!!!

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

*dies* Yeah, that's deja vu pretty much right there. WHEE NINJA! JOHN!

Re: GIP!

[suzvoy.livejournal.com]

Hee hee :D

[cofax7]

Heee.

I love your comments on the Jack/Daniel. So very true.

[kandykorn.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. Oh wow. :D Isn't this fandom amazing?
Just wait till you get through the last half of the season. McKay/Zelenka leik wooooah.
:D And then Zelenka gets him pregnant with altered alien technology and they have a little girl. (Which I have illustrated (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kandykorn/tag/best-mpreg-comic-ever) with BUNNIES.)
And I don't care if it's not canon yet it's gonna happen so lalalalalalala.

...*shifty eyes* Yeah. Just wait till you see what I did to Sheppard in season two. Heh heh heh.

[keraha.livejournal.com]

WOOHOO! Another done to SGA! I don't know if you've ever seen any SG1, but I got sucked into that and it's ABSOLUTE CRACk. SGA is/was taking a mid-season and I needed something to take the edge off my geek cravings. Little did I know how susceptible I was to Jack and Daniel and the ENTIRE SHOW. After SGA, I totally rec SG1. Different, but oh so good.

<3 <3 So much <3

[permetaform]

heee! YES. ::makes grabby hands:: =D

[permetaform]

HEEE! YES. ::giggledeath:: oh MAN.

[permetaform]

HEEE!

D: PWEEEESE?

J: No.

D: But!

J: No.

::giggle::

And not only flirting with EVERYONE but also pillars of light! and random pieces of machinery! =D

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

Exactly. So darn cute, bless 'em ;-)

[permetaform]

That and your fic. ::nods solemnly:: The lure of your fic was too great. Time In A Bottle finally pushed me over the top. ::wry grin::

[permetaform]

Heee! Kolya is fun. And dude, Letters From Pegasus! ::wibble:: oh man.

[permetaform]

DUUUUDE. Freakiest. Episode. EVER.

HONESTLY NOW. ::nodnodnod::

[permetaform]

it IS and eeee I finished the Siege. I HAVE NO MORE. ::will stalk lierdumoa for more eps omg::

[permetaform]

Sheppard/Atlantis/Rodney! OT3!!

HEEE! YESH.

[permetaform]

::nodnodnod:: eeee! and btw, would you happen to know of the icon community for SGA so I could pick up some?? ::puppyeyes you::

[permetaform]

::grins:: oh man, and that first scene where Daniel comes running up to Jack so fast I thought he'd throw himself into Jack's arms except he didn't and Jack was all, "umm, warmer welcome here?" I just about DIED 'cause I'm a slasher and you KNOW where my mind went! =D

[permetaform]

::wibbles:: I just watched The Siege. I have to find more eps. ::eyeballs lierdumoa

[permetaform]

hee! I'll keep that in mind!

[kandykorn.livejournal.com]

*coughs and points to stargate_eps* There's someone on there who has all of the Atlantis eps uploaded.
The post is ummmm here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/stargate_eps/146691.html).
It's a locked comm, so you have to join but dude, they've got everything.

[permetaform]

...I'm on dial-up. o.0

[kandykorn.livejournal.com]

I feel very sorry for you. Seriousness. Isn't it odd how quickly people start assuming everyone has the same connection they do? That used to bother the crap out of me when I had dialup.

S2 is fun, different, and sometimes frustrating for random spoily reasons, but it's still fun. I hope someone gets it to you soon. <3 *hugs minttown1 her own SGA tape fairy*

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

*g*

So, I assume these are available for download from somewhere. Am I right in thinking you'd know the best site to go to find the ep?

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

http://www.livejournal.com/users/svmadelyn/267864.html

*grins* Everything you should really need ought to be there.

[permetaform]

::glomps and goes to check out::

[permetaform]

I got the eps from lierdumoa but all the eps are apparently online available at a community. ::points in the comments:: towards the bottom someone linked to it, for a more comprehensive listing of various LJ communities svmadeline has linked to it somewhere near the top. =)

[kimera.livejournal.com]

GLEE OMG ANOTHER CONVERT

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

*G*

Thanks!

It's a strange feeling, after Xmen and PotC--I've glutted myself on the fic with basically no knowledge of canon. I know there are certain fanon absolutes (you will not read any fic that does not at least one mention the consumption of coffee, MREs *and* powerbars); I want to know if canon has the same concerns as well. :)

Thanks for the pointers!

[permetaform]

heeee! DOOM.

[permetaform]

(you will not read any fic that does not at least one mention the consumption of coffee, MREs *and* powerbars)

o.0 whoa. Had not noticed that. If nothing else chalk it up to Rodney's hypoglycemia. =D

[nel-ani.livejournal.com]

Weeeee! It rocks, doesn't it? You have so so so much coolness to look forward to.

[permetaform]

eee! I'm all caught up now except for Wraith!John episode and omg wow. wow.
