I retract my statement.Originally posted by Scary Kitty View PostI don't know... I mean, if John can use his mind to turn on a hologram, or fly a puddlejumper or even fly Atlantis itself, then closing a door with his mind really shouldn't be that hard to imagine.
Now, the thing about "talking to Atlantis and Atlantis talks back"... eh, that's a bit trickier. Certainly, when you look at how the Ancients reacted when the human-form Asuran Replicators evolved from the Ancients' Wraith-killing nanites, I'd say it's pretty clear that the Ancients would probably not have been all that keen to put an artificial intelligence in charge of the city. Yet there are other clues that would seem to indicate that Ancient technology isn't totally "dumb" either. One that really sticks in my mind (and probably a lot of other peoples') is that very famous scene from Rising Part 2, where Sheppard and Ford (and a few Marines) are on their way to rescue Sumner, Teyla and the others:
Sheppard just thinks it, and the jumper provides exactly what he needs. Within its capabilities of course. Obviously, the jumpers aren't equipped with Star Trek-style food service units that just beam in the requested food.
In my personal canon, I see Ancient technology as as being "aware" in that it is capable of anticipating the needs and requirements of its users based on previous usage. Basically, Ancient technology/programming can learn and adapt to a certain extent, but at some point, it will always require the input of a human user (either through pushing buttons or a mental interface) before it can fully carry out directed tasks. So, no, Atlantis can't talk back to John. But it can open or close doors when he asks it to. (Unless they're in a lockdown situation like in Hot Zone.
)
I don't know why the Jumper scene totally slipped my mind while I wrote that. Bad fangirl.
SGA-Rising for the win! *high-fives**giggles* And who's laughing now, PTW? Who's laughing? That's right, we are. Neener neener neener.
That put the fiction in fanfic. That's what's so great about fanfiction: putting what's in your brain onOriginally posted by gateraid View PostDon't get me wrong, I like to read those fics. It's just as soon as they start I to suspend all belief (some more than others). That's what fic is for
I've only read one (?). If I could have seen Jeannie instead of Rodney-in-a-dress it wouldn't have bothered me. That was the odd thing - aside from him being a woman, pretty much everything else was in-character (aside from him being 'too' neurotic).word processorpaper leads to endless possibilities.
So Ford was a red shirt all along? Hmm.I think that's another "we don't really know" scenario. My impression was that they got rid of him, and he wasn't entirely surprised by it. I don't mean to sound like I'm ragging on the guy, but my impression was (based on a few of their comments) that he wasn't 'progressing' as they wanted, and probably living the high life a bit too much. I may be way off on this though. It's a real shame, because I think Ford was more like the 'everyman' character than they realised.....and then they killed him.
My understanding is that they had the 'option' to keep her there for another year (s4 SGA/s11 SG-1). It's a bit like having an automatic right of renewal on a lease - it's at the owner's discretion to roll it over.
Considering how much Carter butted heads with Weir when the IOA placed her in charge of the SGC, I can't believe she would have gone along with it. But then again, it was her job ... more on this later.Sheppard: WTF? Didn't friggen General Hammond himself go against orders to rescue you guys? He went off-world (risking a court martial) to find Teal'C to save your asses from Hathor just because it was the right thing to do?
Carter: Yeah, I don't believe this **** either, but this is what the IOA wants, so this is what the IOA gets
I felt bad for Rodney when he had to tell Carson, "Yeah, see, well, we weren't really looking for you. The real you is dead. You're a fake you. And you're gonna die any minute, so count your blessings. No more taunting after this." [/snark]So basically John was the only one who wanted to look for anyone. Carson should've been thanking his lucky stars they stumbled across him
It wouldn't surprise me. Though if JoeF said it were so at a con, I'd believe it. Cause who doesn't believe JoeF? He's so nice ... and funny ... and hawt ...This is one of those "it depends what you want to believe" scenarios. I don't believe he has a 'connection' with the city in the way it is implied during fic, because it seems to be more than what the writers implied. Were it to appear in an episode though, I'd buy it *shrugs*
Universe. He meant that SG producers thought the fans would continue to watch anything they wrote, but fans gave them the finger by not watching Universe.
*flails and reminds self to start talking about Sparky again*

"We Spark, therefore we are."To hear some of TPTW talk, they never implied Sparky either. But you still accept that Sparky exists.
I was upset at how quickly they dropped that storyline until TMC. Suddenly, attention shifted to the Athosians and Teyla's pregnancy. John's response (and the wooby face) is still heart wrenching for me to watch.Originally posted by gateraid View Post

Originally posted by Brie View PostOne can only guess with this one...cute though, love background Sparky almost as much as seeing them upfront.
John, you don't have to hold my hand on offworld missions. No one is going to kidnap me.
Sorry, 'Lizabeth, new procedure. Any civilians on the missions not attached to the team have to hold the hand of the team leader.
Does Radek know that Lorne will be holding his hand when they go to check on the kids?
Ooh, can't wait!Originally posted by Scary Kitty View PostGood morning, Sparkies! Happy Lazy Sunday! And... S-minus 4 hours and 8 minutes to our Poisoning the Well post-a-thon!
Agreed. I totally want to make some sort of reference to that in Atlantis Rising, have someone criticize how things were handled. *evil grin*
*hugs mathgirl* Welcome home, honey! Sorry the weather wasn't the most accomodating for you. Ready for the post-a-thon???Originally posted by JT-2 View Post

That we do. I feel that if they did something with Stargate and especially SGA in the future then hopefully they will really sit down and think it through and maybe even hire some new BTS people to work on it, now that also depends on what it is they would want to do, the bigger the project would be the more of a challenge obviously. It also depends on the timing, I mean they have all moved on to other things and who knows if it happens 10 years down the line would even want to come back, no matter how much they loved working on the show. Though like you said, maybe with Joe and David having a more active role in things they could create something great. I know Joe said when he was in England last year that they wanted/were planning to do something with the cast even if it wasn't SGA related so who knows if something will happen with that, though yesterday he mentioned that he and Jason will be doing something which I'm a bit curies about.Originally posted by Scary Kitty View PostOn the other hand, if Joe can manage to get himself (and maybe David Hewlett) in as an executive producer, well, as we say, In Joe We Trust.Comment
