*FLAIL*
Okay, so yesterday the mail came and I had a package. Two DVDs. From ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
permetaform. Two seasons worth of SGA from permetaform.
And that meant only one thing. That's right.
DOOM.
Woman, you'll be death of me. Spent my day at work today (that's right, I really do have nothing to do at the office.) watching... Gah! So much love for Sheppard! And Ford! And I think my brain is now running in funny little circles debating naming everything I own.
SGA Play by Play...
Ep. 1-2 Pilot
OMG Sheppard! *flail!* I don't think he could be any cuter. *mad grin* I think he's my boy.
And dude, McKay? Leaving the cat behind? Gah. Mwahahah-- he's Canadian. XD
Adorable Scottish doctor makes me the happy. Gotta figure out his name now...
Sheppard's cowlick = 6 year old on wicked adventure. HEE.
Gotta say though, there's now way Weir's pack was that light. She picks it up to head through the gate and the damn thing looks so full, but obviously doesn't weigh anything at all. Heh. It's filled with packing peanuts or something.
Okay, The Terminator is so gonna die soon. I mean, he's not really a regular on the show is he? Hence, he bites the big one.
Scottish doctor = Beckett = Hee.
*A-mused* Love how the random renaissance guy looks to Sheppard as the leader. Heeee.
Sheppard is TooAdorableForWords. *flail-ysquee*
Oh, OH. The Wraith are excellently creepy. Rock. On.
Aaaaaand T2 is gone. Woohoo vapor ray thing.
Heheh. The wraiths look like Klingons shoved through a garbage disposal. Muwauah.
*snicker* Puddle Jumper. Heh.
Soo... do the Wraith just wander in, flip their pretty blonde hair and then wander away again? 'Cause it's just amusing. Seriously. Especially that the main dude so far looks rather like Legolas after one too many botox injections.
Ford just look so pleased to be Sheppard's Main Guy on the rescue mission. Awww... he's got a crush. Ford naming things is just excellent. Now I want to give him a dog so he can make in homage to a really excellent like Spike or Hunter, "Because he's a dog and you know, they hunt things. *beam*"
Whoa! Scary drag queen Wraith. *shudders* It's the hair man. ...Though, I do have a shirt that colour magenta.
T2 is old and dead. But Sheppard's shooting him is just Whoa. Does this mean that there's going to be at least one episode in the future where he demands that someone leave him behind or kill him so everyone else can survive? Mercy killing though it was, that's intense.
...Do the Wraith ships fly past sound like crazy guitar riffs to anyone else? Van Halen goes intergalactic.
Alien girl does the bow at Sheppard and Ford's expression is so very, "Heh. Girl-y bits." Also? Beckett's little "How much more out can you get?" speech? Mwuahahah.
Overall first impression is positive. Sheppard is Love, though I don't quite see where all the Sheppard/McKay shippers come from. For now it's very much Sheppard/Ford for me. Hee. Boy crush. The Wraiths remind me rather strongly of some of the early NextGen baddies, but I can learn to live with that. I am glad the pink hair chick is gone, though it does give me pangs of worry for what other variations on Emo Alien we'll see next. ...Reminds me, though, that the other day I saw the baboons in the zoo and they really do have fur that colour near their butt, so I guess it's possible. Also makes me wonder why I can't have naturally pink hair. ...oh, genetically modify your hair using monkey genes. Trust me, it's in the future. You'll see.
Ep. 3
Beckett = Snark = Hee. ...I think this might be a trend in my reaction to him. HEH. Still haven't figured out his first name though.
Okay. That's it. I'm sold on at least the idea of Sheppard/McKay. "I shot him." *dies laughing* Oh, they're such boys.
Opening Credits mean I discover that Ford's actor's name is... Rainbow Sun Francks. Wow. If I were him I'd totally go by Sun. Way cooler than Bow or something. Parents are just weird.
McKay and the being stuck in the suit, and his wonderfully defeatist attitude. The idea that he'd subconsciously be keeping the suit on... So of course my brain goes straight to "Give him something naked to play with and I bet he can touch that." *facepalm*
Ginto's "I get to be Major Sheppard." Oh. Awwww. It's good to have someone you want to be when you grow up.
Mauwahah. McKay's accent is showing. Canadia for the win.
"Passed out from manly hunger." *snerk*
New favorite thing = "We can name it later." Heee.
Nervous guy with Ford is so going to eat it. The nervous guy always gets it. Oh! Dude, Ford! ...he's smoking? Crazy.
....Sheppard just called Ford "pretty boy." *dies laughing* Oh, man, Ford just beams. Heheh.
Okay, I'm finally starting to pick up on the S/M love. Ford still gets many, many points, 'cause, come on. "Pretty boy." HEH. Random note of interest, though, are Sheppard's ears. He's got elf ears! Noticed it in the first ep, but for some reason it struck me more this time. Dude's just so damn cute. The monster this time around was... well, at least it was less sticky than the one that killed Tasha Yarr.
Ep. 4
(It should be noted a break was taken before starting this episode so that I could go into down town and get myself, and my assistant, lunch. Dessert comes in the form of M&Ms. ..wow. My workday is so hard. *facepalm*)
EwewewBUGS. After having seen King Kong the bug thing is that much more shudder inducing.
Aww. Poor pilot kid is gonna be kickin' himself now. How is it that this kind of thing always happens? Is it like the equivalent of the landing gear being stuck?
Ford is so concerned about Sheppard.
...and Weir looks old in this ep. It's not her, I think they just didn't do a very good job with her make up.
Ahhh, cynicism. Oh. Oh, see, there ya go. Sheppard says he's dying and McKay gets his I Mean Business face.
Too many scientists in a room and you get Super Nerd Throwdown. I mean, they've even got a ponytail guy. oooh... surly ponytail guy. Bwahah.
The ship stuck in the SG like that looks a lot like a candle holder I saw at Pier One the other day.
Surly Ponytail Guy just got ripped a new one. Oh. His name is Cavanaugh. Kid's a moron.
McKay/Powerbar = OTP. ...Icon! XD
*flail!* John yelling in pain is just. just. *flail!* He's so stoic about the about the whole thing-- gah. Goodbye speech = *wibble* Oh! Oh! Ford! And he's so worried about John, and about having to shock him, and GAH. *fights the urge to OTP*
Ya know, Sheppard reminds me of Danny from Memphis Belle, the way everyone's always so intent on keeping him safe. More so than anyone else in the team. That and Ford takes every chance he can to touch him. Though in the med bay there I think it's totally because John was checkin' out that little blonde nurse chick. Heh.
Ep.5
What a way to start an ep! Rodney's down. Ow.
Oh! The conspiratorial eyebrow raise! Hee! It's moments like that that make me waffle. About the S/M and S/F. All I know is that Sheppard has now claimed OTC status for this show. ...I think I'm going to have to go and look up that conversation withpermetaform and see if it's John who she thought I'd love. Then again, the love for the snarky ones are make me kinda predictable. ^^
Weir is going to end up with a mutiny. Though, Sheppard does a good job of arguing a case he really doesn't believe.
Don't trust random new black soldier dude. Mostly just an asshole. I hope someone eats him. Looks kinda gamey though. Ya know, Weir, I bet whole interview process would go better if you didn't have that jerkwad there with you.
Rodney and the army food makes me think of when my sister went through a phase where she ate tons of Spam.
...Ford. Brought John. A Turkey Sandwich. Oh, now that is love. Gahahahaha. OTP has been sealed. XD And John loves every minute of it. "You're like a kid, ya know that?" and the smile that goes with that line is just plain fond. And we all know the kind of trouble that can get you into. *coughRoy/Edcough*
Okay, I totally think the spy is the stupid ponytail guy. 'Cause he's just a tool. Though, there was one shifty eyed lookin' guy in the first ep... Yeah, no, I like Cavanaugh for it.
*HEE* Ford wants to name the planet. He also wants to give John a pet name so badly you can see it written all over him.
Woo boobs! Some girl went by and I know that I wore that corset in a show in college.
...McKay has fidgety hands. Huh.
Okay, Tayla really needs to start wearing a ponytail. How she could deal with hair that impractical is beyond me.
Rodney's been spending too much time with John, wanting to send out a rescue party. Heh.
Also toolish black guy looks like Powell's son, what's his face, from the Broadcasting whatever. It's the way his face is shaped. He's got untrustworthy eyes. Shifty, or something.
Hmm.... Maybe if I OT3...oohh... This is an impulse I think should start curbing.
McKay just looks so damn uncomfortable holding a gun.
Tayla fighting with the sticks is like a slap fight. A stick that thin never should have been able to hold off an attack like that. Or well, it just looks like a solid strike could have made it splinter. Maybe that's just 'cause of the bark that's peeling off.
Kinda have to agree with creepy Wraith guy. What the team hopes to accomplish by capturing him, I have no idea. Get info I suppose, but even then, his skin's probably made of tracking devices or something. If this were Weiss he'd probably be related to McKay somehow. There would be emo until he fell in love with toolish security soldier and then he'd spy for the good guys. Or something.
Ep. 6
Gotta say, I'm pleased that there isn't some kind of stupid narration over the opening. Exposition fairy don't live there no more.
Huh. I like their boots. I'd wear them. 'D look good with jeans.
Crashed in the sand the Jumper looks like a log from Splash Mountain, only with a window in front.
Kids. It's always kids. One of these days it's gonna be small cannibal children.
Tree houses! Sweet! Kinda looks like the Ewok forest though.
Hee. Ford's 25. And these kids have a guy with them that looks like a poor man's Mark Paul Gausler.
McKay + Kids = HEH. "Mean old man" indeed.
Does John ever shave? Also, his little friend has a receding hairline.
'S a universal truth. Chocolate does solve most cross cultural misunderstandings.
All of these shows have at lest one episode where they visit a planet populated solely by children. For what it is, this one wasn't all that bad. Heh. Receding hairline guy had a crush on Sheppard with a capitol C, but then again, since he's Danny, it's totally unsurprising. Gotta wonder how old John is though. Older than Ford, obviously, but for some reason I think he might actually be younger than McKay. Does it ever actually get mentioned? Hm.
Ep. 7
Biochemical warfare? Huh.
The opening credits have one of the least attractive action shots of John ever. He looks like my sister when she finds out there's barley in her food.
Carson Beckett! Best name ever! Hee. His eyes positively light up when he's crushing on that girl. She's cute too.
Random: Atlantis is shaped like a snowflake.
*dies* Steve! Okay, yes. Sheppard is Loooove. It's almost better when Ford says it. He so wants to be in on John's little joke. Seriously, seriously too cute.
Aw. Steve gets so tired of John's little jokes.
Guh. Little response during the watching because I was caught up in, well, watching. Beckett just makes me happy, and Sheppard's time with Steve is of the brilliant. Yeah, it's true, John's good at naming things. This is the first episode where I've been really impressed with the acting. Not that everyone isn't great, but Beckett is played perfectly. It rather seems like the rest of the cast has also finally fit themselves into the skins of their characters. Tailoring that comes with exposure to the character. Yeah. I think the episodes just keep getting better and better. Woo!
And now to start on Ep. 8. MWuahahah. While I'm doing that though, if anyone wanted to rec me some Sheppard/Ford I'd heart you forever. Seriously. *does the dance of new OTP*
Oh! Oh! The new icon? Art bykarose and it's just awesome.
permetaform. Two seasons worth of SGA from permetaform. And that meant only one thing. That's right.

Did you catch that line in the bug-on-Shep's-neck episode where he snarks at Rodney "Don't you talk to ME about BEING SCREWED" -- Tav and I had to pause it we were laughing so hard.
It's been a while since we've seen a show pander to the slashers so blatently (yet still only there if you're looking for it), and now we're concurrently getting into House *and* SGA... yeah. Good stuff!
no subject
Also, I seem to have misplaced episode 9, (which is okay for me because that ep freaked me out like whoa, but not so much okay for sending all of SGA to people)
no subject
Wow, that would be beyond cool! Except you don't have to send from 8 onwards, I think Tav has collected up to about episode 14 or 15, we just haven't had time to watch them together yet. But anything beyond that would be SO much appreciated, yes. Wow...! *_*

::beams at you:: *exactly*. And like, it gets more and more and eventually you have McKay stealing food from Sheppards plate. They have subtext *arcs*. XD They even have protracted, "Man, you're sleeping on the COUCH" arcs!
Opening Credits mean I discover that Ford's actor's name is... Rainbow Sun Francks. Wow. If I were him I'd totally go by Sun. Way cooler than Bow or something. Parents are just weird.
'pparently you can't have a Rainbow without a Sun. ::shrugs:: yes.
...and Weir looks old in this ep. It's not her, I think they just didn't do a very good job with her make up.
heh, actually think it's a protracted attempt by both costume and makeup designers to make everybody look frumpy. Check out Torri H's pics in RL or in concurrent Sci-Fi behind the scenes stuff, she looks gorgeous! Actually, ALL the characters are hella more hot off-screen...it's a fantastic thing 'cause they're doing small things here and there as characters get more fit due to running for their lives and whatnot. =D
All I know is that Sheppard has now claimed OTC status for this show. ...I think I'm going to have to go and look up that conversation with [info]permetaform and see if it's John who she thought I'd love. Then again, the love for the snarky ones are make me kinda predictable. ^^
Yes he is. Just you WAIT for The Eye. XD
All of these shows have at lest one episode where they visit a planet populated solely by children.
::nods:: the thing you gotta understand about SGA is that it's a TOTAL AND UTTER spoof off of all sci-fi cliches. It's a joyful homage by writers who are basically doing fanfic and making it into tv. Once you are at peace with that, a lot of things will become clearer. =D
Trust me, it just gets better, because the episodes *build* on each other and it's just. ::flails:: yeah.
no subject
Yes! That was made very clear by Beckett's "So I hear you've got a klingon..." remark in the bug-on-neck episode -- but not just the remark, which would have been cheese on its own, but the way that *everyone* winced as if it was an outtake, except an outtake that is part of the suspension of disbelief in their unscripted lives. Even while going to extremes of spoofing cliches, they manage to make it *real* and it makes me love it. ♥
It's bad stereotyping, but when Tav and I noticed Ford's actor's name is even prettier than he is, we said "he's probably got hippie parents who would actually be really really disappointed if he comes home one day very nervous to make the announcement 'Mom, Dad, I'm sorry but I've gotta be true to me, I've given it a lot of thought, and... well, I'm not gay'" (And then we sighed in envy.) ~_^

::nodnodnod:: WORD.
be really really disappointed if he comes home one day very nervous to make the announcement 'Mom, Dad, I'm sorry but I've gotta be true to me, I've given it a lot of thought, and... well, I'm not gay'"
::giggledeath:: oh man, I can imagine that! XD
no subject
See, I tend to be so haphazard at actually catching shows on TV (and being in Canada and not willing to spend exhorbitant amounts on super-extended cable, I don't get SGA at all anyway), so even when I get interested in a show, I tend to come in somewhere in the middle and then catch episodes sporatically all out of order. I think trying to watch that way is why I *couldn't* actually really get into SG1, even though I liked the main characters and found the snark hilarous and some of the premises seemed really fascinating -- but most of the times I tried to watch it, either I felt like I was missing out on all the larger context and history, or that it was a stand-alone filler episode that meant nothing. And now that I know where to find episodes to download, there's so frickin' many to catch up on that it's really overwhelming... which is why I'm so glad to see just how independent SGA is. ^_^
