First, Moonlight. Surprisingly, improving quite a lot. Still predictable, but not all the time, and they've mostly ditched the weak-assed attempt at noirish reflection and saving the voice overs for more important things. The leads and the supporting cast are gelling nicely. I don't know if Sophia Myles is also improving, or settling in, or I'm just getting used to her, but I'm liking her now.
And Jason Dohring soaking wet with his shirt open? Not bad at all.
Then, we watched the last few minutes of Flash Gordon
HELLO, GENERAL HAMMOND! :D I see you're keeping busy in your retirement.
Then, SGA. I didn't watch it before, when the ep leaked, though I knew the main spoiler from it.
Anyway, under the cut, a bit of running commentary.
Keller continues to be awesome.
Her fear of the chestburster is probably the PTB reminding me to write my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
reel_sg1 fic. or y'know, not. But it's really good timing.
Ronon fears being alone (of course) but how perfectly horrifying for him. And that was totally Cooper showing off his pretty pretty set, with all that camera porn, running around in the (almost) empty gateroom.
And Cooper also continues to get mileage from Rodney and lemons. Sam making him lemon chicken - hee.
Major Lorne, all sweaty and unstable with a gun? Gimme some of that plz. (Now I want Anders to do EXACTLY THAT SAME THING on BSG, Pretty plz, because psycho Anders-with-a-gun? YES.) And he used to sleepwalk? Somehow someone has to fic that. NOW.
(and they really ought to bump Lorne to lt.col one of these days - he came on board as a major and he's still a major. poor guy. he's the Paul Davis of SGA, I guess, eternally stuck at major til he gets killed or vanishes)
"significant negative presence" - why do I find that so funny? And exactly WHICH alien possession of Sam were they talking about? heh.
Oh Kate... that's so sad. Not unexpected (thank you, iTunes), but sad. I'm not invested in her character, I'm afraid, but it's always sad to lose a good recurring character. But I do think someone had to die in this episode to make the danger at all a factor - otherwise, it's like Ronon said, it's just a couple of bad dreams. And there are not so many recurring characters to pick from, especially ones that could be folded into the rest of the plot as neatly as the psychiatrist that's consulting on the problem. Zelenka, really, and that's it. Lorne would've been as shocking but he wasn't involved in the rest of the plot. So I get the choice, but it sucks.
Moving on...
John, do try to look as if you know what to do when a woman hugs you; it would help those of us who try to ship you with women once in a while.
Evil!Terminator!Sheppard is scarily appealing. Good job, Flanigan.
Sam, being all in-charge, is still so glee-making. And while I'm sure SGA fans are kind of annoyed with the call-backs to SG-1, I'm glad they weren't forgotten. because forgetting about it would've been totally lame.
And OMG the total shout-out to the McSheppers. Gotta be. "I thought there'd be more hot girls." "Me too." And then they look at each other. BWAHAHAHA!
Nice image at the end of the lights flashing on - "I think we should go." Uh, yeah, y'think?
And then a gentle tag of everyone sitting together. Well-played, Atlantis.
Possibly I was in a mood to be amused, even when I shouldn't have been, but it held my attention, and y'know,with me and Atlantis, that is no small thing. So thumbs up.
