Happy Early Thanksgiving! Or in my world- the time you work a whole week in two days so you get time off to do the thing with the turkey and the fam. Not the thing with the shopping though, unless it is online.

I think I'm gonna have to pick a couple of episodes to watch sometime SOON.

That is my black Friday goal. And cookies. Must bake cookies. I'm still in sugar withdrawal from post-Halloween.

I'm wide awake at 3am, once again. Time for The Long Goodbye. I wanna see Torri kick some @ss.

Previously on Stargate Atlantis ....

Skinner has a snake in his head.

"ridiculously attractive people in absurd situations" Yeah that just about sums up TV. At least my TV watching.

"Double Jeopardy. That's twice as dangerous." John, you're such a goober.

Skinner is here to make amends. Awww. I should probably stop calling him Skinner. Nah.

Don't get too close to the pod, Lizzie! Oh damn, she's fainted. (Why doesn't John faint later? I know, I know, to move the plot along. But it makes no sense.)

Proper opening credits

And Dr. Weir is referring to herself in the third person. This can't be good. Phoebus (sp?) spins a tale. John just wants to know if Elizabeth is okay. I love how John drops the beginning E of Elizabeth's name. Now Phoebus wants to ask John a "favor". John never would have agreed if he didn't think Elizabeth wanted him to do it. Elizabeth's boys.

"You're a hopeless romantic, you know that?" "Well you're just as hopeless, otherwise you wouldn't have agreed." TRUE FACTS! John looks all embarrassed at that.

"I promise to be discreet, Colonel." "Well" (love how his voice cracks)

Thalen is in the building.

And the smooch! So pretty to look at. With romantic music playing in the background. Not an attack or anything. *snerk*

And they take off! Torri is so good. Her whole posture and voice are different.

The fact that "Elizabeth" was touting a gun should have been a clue to Lorne. And she takes the whole security team down. That was just plain hot. *fans self*

I hate to say this, but Torri does a better job of being a different person than Joe does. But that's probably because Phoebus is so very different from Elizabeth whereas Thalen is a soldier like John.

"Well, they're heading straight for divorce."

Torri does a little leap off the balcony. That was so awesome. And hot. Are we noticing a theme here? Yes, I think they're hot.

"He's trying to kill Dr. Weir." "Oh that is so much more comforting!" Rodney is one of Elizabeth's boys.

And Ronon gets totally fooled. Oh Ronon. You're very pretty, but not always the brightest. I love you anyway.

Phoebus shoots Ronon. Elizabeth's gonna feel so guilty about that later.

And Thalen says John is "screaming in my head". I wonder what he was screaming during the kiss. *giggles*

Teyla says "I can handle Dr. Weir." Your overconfidence will be your downfall, young lady.

Phoebus taunts Skinner. "I want Sheppard." Yeah, honey, a lot of us do.

"Even Weir thinks you're hopeless. She can't hide it." Ouch.

"So, shall we take it from the point where I start counting down from an arbitrary number?" Torri is just so good at playing this.

Teyla's a bit smarter than Ronon and isn't falling for Thalen's John impersonation.

Torri's little bit of hair in her face is so adorable and psychopath looking.

Phoebus gets stunned and it's all over.

And we end with John and Elizabeth in the infirmary. Skinner comes by to taunt them. "Especially that kiss". Mortified expressions, and Elizabeth slides down the bed. Too cute!

The end

I can't even. Too much fantastic goodness to squee over each lovely line, but I must admit, now I'm wondering if I can add some boys of my own to my Christmas wish list. Actually, I'd scrap the current list in favor of something like- Dear Santa: All I want for Christmas is John, Cameron, and Ronon. I have alternatives prepped. So many beautiful peeps in this franchise. As a side note, I was probably teetering on the line before, but I feel I've firmly moved over to the naughty list at this point. It was the greed wasn't it? Maybe I should have just picked one.

*Also, note to self- limit caffeine before entering forum.

I actually slept well last night. But you're right. But by the time I watch an SGA episode, I have given up on sleep in the near future.
