SGA Season 4

[paraka]

Can I just say, it's really weird watching the episode without the sound being finished. I mean in the little "Last time on Stargate Atlantis" bit in the intro the would show the explosion of the beam hitting the city, and you'd *see* everything blow up, but there isn't any sound. :P

Also, for later sound effects you could hear one of the crew offstage yelling "Bam" or "do do do" or "Ahhh" as the case required. Very amusing.


Can I just say, that without background noise and dramatic music to back him John sounds like a *complete* dork. So, so, dorky.

Also, have to wonder if TPTB were around last April for all the race discussions that went on, because I have never seen the Atlantis personal looking so multicultural. There were flags from all over on shoulders in the first ep.

There are a lot of people who are indifferent to Weir, and a lot of people really upset that she's leaving the show, but to be honest? Her storyline is pretty damn kick ass. I don't think I could have been nearly as upset about Carson dying if he had gotten a story line like that. d

Also, brings about the chance for Evil!Replicator!Weir. I think that this is maybe the best storyline the Weir character has gotten.

The shipper in me though, was suddenly seeing Weir/pretty much everyone. For a second there, I though Ronon was going to *kiss* her. And John was *crying*. Rodney was breaking all these rules to save her, and Teyla was *there* for her; saying the risks were worth it.

It really kind of annoyed me how Sheppard was acting. Throwing his weight around, saying he was in charge now that Weir isn't. I mean, all he was doing was getting in the way of Rodney, and it wasn't really a military situation, it was a scientist situation. Rodney so should have been the one in charge.

It was awesome to see so much Zelenka. Although the background tech yelling "Bam Bam" as he got shot detracted a little for the situation.


Overall, great episode.

paradise_city what was that moment you were talking about?

So did you like it? The absence of sound and the random "BAM! BAM!"s (which were hilarious didn't disrupt your viewing experience too much?

1. The Weir storyline? Awesome. And I'm a big fan of Carter and all the Carter/McKay stuff, so it was really nice to see her. And her dorky scientist friend, to. He makes the Atlantis people look amazingly well-adjusted in comparison.

Word on the Weir/everyone bit, as well. I've always enjoyed a bit of Weir/Sheppard, so it was really touching to see John getting emotional over her situation and struggling with trying to keep cool.

2. Speaking of Sheppard, he was did have a bit of a bug up his butt, didn't he? It was nice to see him and Rodney go head to head (and Rodney refuse him -- go Rodney!) and then have them apologize so quickly (which was interesting; I'm still not sure what I think about that). I'm hoping we'll see some fallout from John rushing in to take control. It would be nice to set up a little subplot of command issues.

Right, sorry -- apparently when it comes to commenting with you, I can blab forever. To answer your question, it was the Rodney calling John by his name moment I was referring to. That seems to be a huge issue with some of the fangirls, so I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

Oh man, I've been going back and forth all day: to download or not to download, to wait till the finished version or to cave in now. *TORN*
