SGA 4x01, 4x02

[mrv3000]

I decided to watch SGA for some unknown reason, never mind the fact that I haven't watched SGA since about 1x02... Oh right, I think the reason involved boredom and drinking.



So the first ten minutes John spends his time underfoot, asking stupid questions and handling leadership badly in a crisis. Atlantis is in good hands! *thumbs up*

Hey look, it's Sam! Am I supposed to boo here or...?

Awww. They had to shave Weir for her departure. Um, her head. *has classic Who flashbacks with Peri*

Yes, thank you. Send John out in one of those little ships. Give him something to do. Wait, he's not out in one of those ships? I'm confused. But McKay is? Uh, doesn't he have more important things to do on the base? No, hang on. John is out in a ship. I think. He is. Was.

Yeah, reactivating Replicator nanites? That is not going to end well. Duh. John just redeemed himself by making the tough decision to say no to that, even if it could save Weir's life. But McKay does it anyway. Huh. The McKay I remember from SG-1 days would have listed off all the reasons why it would be a very bad idea (in a cold bastard sort of way), and then walked away. I think I miss jackass!McKay.

But Weir's hair is back! Which is good as no one should be without hair.

Hmm. I know some like the banter between John and McKay, but...so far it just sounds like 5-year-olds whining and I can't quite figure out *why* they keep bickering when eminent death is all around them. Makes them sound like dipshits. John a bit more since it seems like he's usually the one to start the whining bicker. I suddenly have the urge for someone from BSG – anyone from BSG – to swing by, tell them to shut the frack up and get back to work.

Wait. So McKay made the replicators basically harmless and uncommunicative in Weir, but yet they're going to use her on the replicator planet? Um... Oh. McKay's going to use Weir to hack into the replicator mainframe. Well, guess it's better than using an iMac.

I think I like Sam's hair like that. And it has nothing to do with the fact that I often have my hair clipped back like that. Nope. /shallow

Wait, what? The replicators have been around since the time of the Ancients? Didn't that one robot chick on that planet create the replicators, and that robot chick was created by a human descendant of the disbursal of slaves by Ra? Which only happened 4000 years or so ago? OH, and didn't human-like replicators *just* come into being not too long ago? o_O

Awww. Do they really need to pack up Weir's stuff? Aren't there like a million rooms on Atlantis? They could have made it the Weir room.

So Weir will be back, right? They left that wide open. Of course, she could be good or EVIL. Heh. Or Queen of The Replicators! HA! That'd be cool.

AHAHA! That is awesome. Adama would have them shaking in their boots. I think Starbuck would eventually take over...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Man, I was *so* itching for something like that. Adama would have them shaking in their boots! And Starbuck probably would have slugged them both. :D

These are different replicators ;)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

O_O

I should have known. :D

[suzvoy.livejournal.com]

It all makes sense! Honest!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Suuuuuuuuuure.

[suzvoy.livejournal.com]

Basically, the Ancients were dimwits yet AGAIN and built their own replicators. Way to go, dudes.

Perfect sense. *nod*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Man, the universe just needs to stop coming up with replicators!

There's a reason I gave up on SGA about a season & a half ago. It just got old.

And they got rid of the one character I did like. I was pissed. That was enough to make me stop watching.

That sums up most of SGA right there. Heh.

I totally get that feeling. To me SG-1 was just never the same after RDA left, and I wandered away from the show after a handful of episodes without him.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I found it annoying rather than funny and just really out of place for the circumstances. I know that John wasn't in charge of the base, but he's a Lt. Colonel and if I remember correction, *has* had leadership positions. (Wasn't there question in the beginning of why he shouldn't be the one to head up Atlantis?) But it seemed like about for every situation with McKay, John would walk in and immediately start whining at McKay with the equivalent of "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" which would require McKay to stop what he was doing to try and explain things in simple terms to him.

I know *partly* why they did it - it was to keep the audience informed of what was going on. But the whining on both sides that went with it bugged the shit out of me. A LOT.

except those are not replicators.
not the kind that exists(or existed) in the milky way.
they are nanites. like replicators but not the same. they were invented by the ancients.

another plotline shamelessly stolen from SG-1

i wasnt too happy with the premiere.
i hate that they're demoting Weir to recurring. it's so lame.
sam really has nothing to do in Lantis.
talk about jumping the shark.

and yes, Weir could potentially,theorically, be back but going by previous experience, she won't.
"Recurring" in Lantean-talk means 'reappears once or twice before dying or completely dissapearing' . it's happened before.

anyway, i'm pretty certain Atlantis is going to suck this season. and will get ruined and canceled. and i won't do a bloody thing to save it. damn TPTB.

*is not bitter*

I know you're not the only one who's upset by her not being full-time anymore.

Not sure if I'll watch any more of it. I might catch the next episode as well, just to see how Sam winds up with permanent status.
