We went to see The Hunger Games today and enjoyed it very much. They did a fine job.

Waiting for "The Hunger Games" to come to cheap theater. Still wanna see it. I should take a page out of JT's book and go read some HG fic.

Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

Heading to bed, need sleep horribly. Just watched season premiere of "Eureka" and "Castle". WOW. More on that laters, after everyone's seen them.
Night!!!

Originally posted by Southern Red View PostGlad you had fun. We missed you yesterday.
I was thinking about that. I'm not sure by Hot Zone how long they had been in Atlantis, only a few months for certain. Maybe they were gradually giving the gene shot to first the scientists and then maybe it would have been offered to the military guys. They definitely needed more pilots, but they wouldn't have known that before discovering the puddle jumpers. If so, they would have brought them from Earth.
Perhaps they rolled it out slowly in case there were any side effects?
Originally, John was more valuable for the gene than his piloting skills. Surely TPTB must have had an idea to make a big deal out of him since that is, after all, the whole premise of their including him in the expedition. *massive sarcastic eye roll*
That's a thought. And I always wondered about the part in Adrift when all the people with the gene suddenly become pilots. I know there was some throwaway line about them taking flying lessons, but come on. Just because you can make all the controls light up doesn't mean you can fly the thing in a straight line. Rodney is proof of that. It's probably quite a bit harder than driving your Prius to the grocery store.
Originally posted by ShipperWriter View PostThrowing in 2 cents about the ATA discussion - is it possible that they did more research (behind the scenes) and worked on the gene some more to the point that it had higher that a 48% success rate?
Originally posted by Southern Red View PostHee hee. I didn't notice it either because it goes by too fast. But some clever person posted pics when it first aired. Besides, I wouldn't exactly be looking at his hands.
Spoiler:
I'm sure you'd get a beautiful tune out of him if you asked nicely
Originally posted by Scary Kitty View PostI like that.
Seriously! The gene was supposed to be Sheppard's Big Thing. You'd think TPTW would've had a plan...
It's still my personal canon that John unconsciously broke through the nanites and reached Elizabeth with his Mad ATA Skillz.

Rodney did whine on about how they weren't all pilots, but its not like it actually mattered. It would have hammered the point home if some of them had died. Like you rightly point out, its not like driving a Prius. Just because I can fly a remote control helicopter doesn't mean I can fly an F-18 in combat For that matter, I can't see John being able to fly a 302 either. The Deadalus, perhaps, although I'd be looking over his shoulder before he tried to take it into hyperspace
You would be looking at his instrument, no?
I'm sure you'd get a beautiful tune out of him if you asked nicelylooking pitifulasking nicely, so I'm sure I could have gotten a song also.
They threw that out the window when Ford managed to fly one though. Especially when he shouldn't have even been able to turn it on
Spoiler:WEIR (to Rodney): Can they detect that?
McKAY: I don't know.
WEIR: Shut it down!
McKAY: I can't -- the Jumper's in control.
I liked her too, although the ep does give me a few logic headaches, as s1 eps from many shows are wont to do

Originally posted by gateraid View PostI'm giving them considerable leeway here, I know, but I suspect they would have used that idea a bit more had they not put the ancient related stuff on the backburner from the start of s2
Originally posted by gateraid View PostThere isn't enough evidence to support either of our positions fully on this issue
Originally posted by gateraid View PostThis is probably a dumb question, but are the Storm Troopers even human? Cause those helmets don't look like they were designed for a normal shaped head, unless they also have some sort of breathing apparatus for exposure to space.
Originally posted by Southern Red View PostI got a great hug from him just bylooking pitifulasking nicely, so I'm sure I could have gotten a song also.
Originally posted by Southern Red View PostActually they explained that in the dialogue, but there was still a lot of chatter about it on the episode thread and elsewhere.

Good morning, everybody!
It's been a slow morning due to FCAT testing so I brought my computer with me and figured i'd make the most of it. So I did some pics and started a new chapter of fic. I'm amazed I'm actually working through it quickly, as least compared to my last couple of stories. When this one gets done, I'm itching to start a new AU where John is ahothigh school math teacher. Hee hee.
Anyhoo. Back to work!
And a Sparky thought: out of all the episodes we've rewatched so far, what would you say is the best Sparky moment so far?
