Now that I've listened to the season one commentaries, I spend half of the time looking at this show and thinking, hey, they reused that set/shot/room/corridor, because the directors on commentary are *obsessed* with talking about the clever ways in which the reuse corridor space to make Atlantis look bigger. So I see the inside of the tower and my first thought is, man, the director must be *thrilled*--they can make Atlantis double for a whole other planet.
Eheheh. Sheppard is being attacked by Zoot! I love that. I haven't read any of the reviews yet, but I'm sure I'm not the first to say that. This is clearly another episode of shameless fanservice, by which I mean geek jokes.
Also, Fox's out-of-order screening of Farscape seems to be dictating John Sheppard's life, which can't be a good thing for him. But really: week before last, Crichton gets trapped and abandoned on a primitive yet idyllic planet where he faces entanglement with a luscious native girl... so does Sheppard. This week, Crichton gets kidnapped and coerced to marry the alien princess for his genetic usefulness and so that she can cut her brother out of the succession... so does Sheppard. What will Crichton's future hold for Sheppard next?
Aw. Poor Rodney. Trapped under water. Trapped underground. You know he's thinking, aw, come on! Not twice in one *week!*
Man, Teyla just can't take Ronon *anywhere!*
Stand up to them? What? Teyla, do you not understand the whole targeted missile concept?
Aw... come with me, Zoot! says John. Now I know why all the fannish commentaries seemed vaguely unhappy. But really, who doesn't want their own Zoot?
You know, it's been a while since Rodney had a good relatively unjustified rant about imminent doom. Lots of justified rants about imminent doom, sure, but they're more fun when they're based on overreaction rather than reaction.
I... did Beckett just say, "Sorry, wee man?" to the princeling?
Huh.
