Am back from a very inspiring and productive WBC class, feeling pumped about this pilot. And I have new SGA!runpunkrun, disk is in the mail tomorrow, tick-a-lock and so forth, go be in a variable time-speed room and come back and read this post in, like, three days.
One Ambien left.
Rodney asks for a stick. Ronon, from a very impressive low angle, hands Rodney a piece of wood. Rodney scowls. "I didn't ask for a log!" Slashers, do thy bidding.
*I* tried to invent MALP-on-a-stick a week ago!samdonne wouldn't let me! Granted, I did want to send it through the wormhole.
helenish, you are absolutely right, Hewlett is getting toned and firm before our very eyes. It would be upsetting if it weren't so hot.
Poisonous atmosphere! ACID ROOM! HEWLETT! It's CUBE! /thrilled
Rodney's "I lost my boyfriend" face is priceless.
Ronon, it seems, has lost his boyfriend as well, and from the look on his face he can hardly believe it himself. Even though I know it won't happen, I'm desperate for Ronon to THROW Rodney through the barrier! Mmm, bodily.
And now Rodney takes us through the franchise to CUBE 2 and variable time-speed rooms! Send a note, dude!
I put Alex Trusk in my pilot. Or, right now, she's Alex-Trusk-type, alongside Peter-Mac-Nichol-type and Bones-from-Bones-type. I have GOT to name these goddamned characters! Also to title this show.
Should I ask why John didn't see the flowers come through, or will I learn that later?
Okay, so far, this is tremendous. This is JUST the kind of pseudoscience I LOVE (CUBE!), and Rodney kicks such serious ass, I mean, come on, brother has his shit in GEAR. Meanwhile, elsewhere John grows hair.
John really is so adorably determined and trying so hard to keep his shit together. Because what other explanation is there for him saying that there's a way out on the other end of the tunnel and then immediately wondering why he hasn't had water in two days? The only plausible explanation is that John's faith in Rodney's ability to save him is SO great that he can't bear to step away from the door. Talk about fixing yer planes right up till they hit the ground, Shep.
Oh, crap. Cave collapsing.
RODNEY! SEND A NOTE!
Why did he not send a note when I shouted for him to send a note, like, ten minutes ago? /shakes head sadly on re-realization that the tiny people can't hear me
RODNEY! Finally asking "why didn't I send through a note?"
RODNEY saying go go go go go go!
*looks around*
Am I dreaming this episode? I mean. Seriously. This is, I mean. You know me. If I were going to -- this is totally the -- peers at Joe Flanigan.
I'm going to check this LJ entry tomorrow, to see if this is all in fact actually happening, or has happened, or will happen, or -- if anyone else out there who has seen this episode would be so kind as to confirm for me that I am, indeed, watching SGA-does-Cube-with-time-travel, that would be good too, because otherwise somehow Rodney can HEAR ME and I'm...in the Neverending Story.
This is not the episodesamdonne was looking for. This is the Rodneyest episode ever. I fear it might be enough to send her from SGA entirely, so I call upon you to help me remind her just how truly awesome John is, even if these people NEVER see fit to tell us a thing about his backstory. /growls
Conan and Xena, dude. Rodney, I love you and your upward-tilting head and your Sheppard-related angry collapse! I have never been so proud of you.
John confirms my theory that he was indeed lingering by the barrier because of his profound confidence in his boyfriend, as only NOW does he decide to venture off to find food.
And what's more his...weeklong trust that Rodney would come was only barely misplaced, as here comes Rodney with the supplies and the camera just moments after John goes.
I say we all take a little time to thank the nice folks at Stargate: Atlantis and a great man named David Hewlett for bringing us, me, the collective Rodney-loving me! everything we could have ever asked for in...so far, like 26 minutes of television! (Less, actually, 15:14!)
Oh, you gotta be kidding me, John didn't leave a note? LEAVE NOTES, PEOPLE!
I have an urge to foist upon them a George Bluth Sr., man-with-one-arm type lesson upon this crew. Leave notes!
GODDAMN it, Rodney can't fly the thing in a straight line! This is-- we coulda written this! In the best possible way.
Now, this wheatfield scene, not unlike TNG's "Darmok," has a pretty scary beast, and OW John is in big trouble. But I will stop to point out that the beast is also not unlike the horrible graphic-effect square-eating monster in CUBE 2.
And it's Zelenka's idea. That is just too cute to live.
Thank god John can tell this guy's shady. He has shady HAIR, and he COWERS. John's not the sort of Colonel who trusts a guy who cowers. I like that about John.
To borrow from another TNG classic, we enter, what was that episode called? Where Picard goes into the probe and lives for 25 years and learns to play the flute? Man, I hope this pretty girl teaches John to play the flute. John, indeed, looks adorable in these robes.
MARK MY WORDS, PEOPLE. In six weeks I will have a completed pilot. Four months after that, I intend to have my agent send it directly to Stargate: Atlantis, because she specializes in Canadian-content shows ANYWAY, and I believe that on the strength of one pilot* and some really smooth talking I can get a job on this show. Long shot: yes. Possible: ANYTHING is possible.
Like now, for instance. Perhaps this IS the episodesamdonne is looking for. Here goes cowboy John with a stick of hay in his mouth.
Guh. John is training for prison break! Oh, if we don't get backstory, at least we get hamstrings. And Picard, as I recall, in that aforementioned episode -- that I want to be "Time's Arrow" despite knowing that that is, in fact the one where Data loses his head in San Francisco -- totally pushed AWAY the pretty girl that was nursing him back to health. At least John, in the more classic Kirkian fashion, is being friendly to the nice space lady. And OH he's a hero, a hero with a pocketknife.
JOHN LEFT A NOTE! /so relieved!
Teyla calculates time! Teyla LEAVES A NOTE!
I take back everything I ever said about you people.
And here's Weir, DOING something! Translating...something! And she has to bring books! Fantastic! Andoff the station away from Atlantis, no less! See how they respond to us? We ask and they provide. And her excuse that they might need to translate something near the power source was airtight. She's going 'cause she wants to, can I hear a "so say we all?"
And I love that Rodney wants to get a good sit in before he starts on their long walk to find John.
Yeah, here's some excellent Ancients-lovin'-on-the-John action, and John is the ONE. I was WONDERING when that was going to happen. Of course, it's entirely possible he's NOT the one, and these people are off their rocker. "I was hoping you were going a different way with that." Me TOO. And, upon rewatching, what a stupid thing to be the ONE for. You're the one...to referee this soccer game! And seriously, sitting there at the table in his white robes and we get the LAST SUPPER pan? That's crazy talk.
Now, however, I'm confused. John is -- we assume these people CAME here, from other PLACES, when they were ready to ascend, right? So why is John behaving as if they've spent their whole lives here? Or was I so mesmerized by the tableau I missed something?
Oh who CARES, the beast is nearly upon his friends numbering five! RUN JOHN RUN! Damn, he looks good in that robe.
CARSON has a date with CADMAN. It's like it's my birthday, or something.
And the beast is close, but John is not alone.
And the beast is of their own creation, last seen in DS9's "The Storyteller," with O'Brian and the...dal-roth? This conclusion, however, is very specious. They had to shed their own fear, which John somehow allowed them to do? But presumably up until that time their collective fear was tromping all over the village like Godzilla? That's kind of a lovely, if absurd little moral, I'm okay with that. John's bravery teaches his new friends how to shed their fears.
My moral, however, remains the same: whatever it takes to get Rodney in a thigh holster.
*the strength of one pilot and a whole host of other TV credits, mind you, I maybe ambitious but I am not crazy, I just don't, um, happen to have any other scripts I can shop around at the moment. Unless anyone wants an X-Files or Roswell spec? *g*

I'd kinda hoped the monster was a ten thousand year old Wraith.
John and beard, fun. Loved Rodney's line: "What is it with you and Ascended women?"
no subject
Eeeee! Download faster, dammit!

This entirely, entirely encapsulates my opinion. I could have done with a little less lame alien princess but my God, RODNEY. This was pretty much the Best Ever McKay episode. And Weir wasn't annoying! And Teyla was brilliant, with the batteries and the note and the watch and everything! And Ronon is so defensive about Sheppard! And Carson has a date with Cadman!
Did they just hire fanfic writers to do this one? Seriously? My GOD.
MALP on a STICK.

best moral ever.

Good luck with the scriptiness! If I could right one paragraph at the moment I'd be happy.

The Inner Light! I totally failed to make that connection, but now I really wish John had learned to play the flute in there instead of just being bored to death while meditating. Just imagine all those close-ups of his fingers and his mouth...

Plus, I want to lick his bicep where those snug blue t-shirts end and his arm begins.
Plus, I am hard pressed to think of a person who looks hotter in a buttondown than David Hewlett in "Home."
