[dahan]

[Fanwoman] 1:23 pm: really?
[Fanwoman] 1:23 pm: that's cool!
[dahan] 1:23 pm: Weir in blu
[dahan] 1:23 pm: should have happened more
[Purpleyin] 1:24 pm: in blue?
[dahan] 1:24 pm: yea
[Fanwoman] 1:24 pm: you mean teyla in blue?
[AnyRei] 1:24 pm: white
[dahan] 1:24 pm: no Weir in blue, blue looks goo on her
[Fanwoman] 1:24 pm: :was confused:
[Fanwoman] 1:24 pm: but she was in white
[dahan] 1:24 pm: it was blue on my screen
[dahan] 1:24 pm: huh...
[Fanwoman] 1:25 pm: O.o
[dahan] 1:25 pm: I'll rewatch it later

[dahan]

[Fanwoman] 1:25 pm: ah, the pretty, pretty sets!
[Purpleyin] 1:25 pm: It is weird watching this in HD
[AnyRei] 1:25 pm: haha the wraith mask
[dahan] 1:25 pm: or maybe the sun from the window is messing with me
[dahan] 1:25 pm: it's the first time we've done this in the daylight for me
[Purpleyin] 1:25 pm: I used to love the idea the wraith leathers were human skins
[dahan] 1:26 pm: that's dark....
[Purpleyin] 1:26 pm: just the right level of creepy
[Fanwoman] 1:26 pm: was it ever confirmed?
[AnyRei] 1:26 pm: uarggghh
[Purpleyin] 1:26 pm: nah
[dahan] 1:26 pm: they eat them though!
[Purpleyin] 1:26 pm: just fan speculation
[Fanwoman] 1:26 pm: ah
[Purpleyin] 1:26 pm: but then they are old and shrivelling

[dahan]

Purpleyin] 1:25 pm: I think your screen is in need of some colour correction
[Fanwoman] 1:25 pm: ah, the pretty, pretty sets!
[Purpleyin] 1:25 pm: It is weird watching this in HD
[AnyRei] 1:25 pm: haha the wraith mask
[dahan] 1:25 pm: or maybe the sun from the window is messing with me
[dahan] 1:25 pm: it's the first time we've done this in the daylight for me
[Purpleyin] 1:25 pm: I used to love the idea the wraith leathers were human skins
[dahan] 1:26 pm: that's dark....
[Purpleyin] 1:26 pm: just the right level of creepy
[Fanwoman] 1:26 pm: was it ever confirmed?
[AnyRei] 1:26 pm: uarggghh
[Purpleyin] 1:26 pm: nah
[dahan] 1:26 pm: they eat them though!
[Purpleyin] 1:26 pm: just fan speculation
[Fanwoman] 1:26 pm: ah
[Purpleyin] 1:26 pm: but then they are old and shrivelling
[Fanwoman] 1:26 pm: duh, Sheppard

[dahan]

[Purpleyin] 1:26 pm: pre-tanned in a way
[Fanwoman] 1:27 pm: that's true, leather from shriveled bodies might be trucky
[Fanwoman] 1:27 pm: tricky
[Fanwoman] 1:27 pm: Grodin so defensive LOL
[Purpleyin] 1:27 pm: It's kind of fun to watch this ep near Halloween
[AnyRei] 1:28 pm: yes!
[Fanwoman] 1:28 pm: I hadn't thought of that!
[Purpleyin] 1:28 pm: Ha I bet Rodney accuses him of a lot
[dahan] 1:28 pm: this is a pretty neat haunting house sequence

[dahan]

[dahan] 1:28 pm: man even the noise is cool this close to halloween
[Fanwoman] 1:28 pm: indeed, McKay, what the heck
[dahan] 1:29 pm: cute mcweir scene
[Purpleyin] 1:29 pm: love the little wave he did
[Purpleyin] 1:29 pm: Marta!
[dahan] 1:29 pm: I almost thought he was going to do the vulcan greeting

[dahan]

[Purpleyin] 1:29 pm: They never did much with wraith projections past these few eps
[Fanwoman] 1:30 pm: I forget, do they stop using the P90s after a while?
[dahan] 1:30 pm: yea they did away with them probably for the sfx budget
[dahan] 1:30 pm: no p90s stayed
[dahan] 1:30 pm: its and SG staple
[Purpleyin] 1:30 pm: but they could've hinted/mentioned them
[dahan] 1:30 pm: they used them in SGU too i think

[dahan]

[Purpleyin] 1:30 pm: more about wraith control
[Fanwoman] 1:30 pm: they could have figured a clever, cheap way of using the shadows
[Purpleyin] 1:31 pm: exactly
[Fanwoman] 1:31 pm: think of all they used to do on Dr. Who
[Purpleyin] 1:31 pm: you shouldn't drop key established elements completely
[Purpleyin] 1:31 pm: but then they quickly dropped Elizabeth's negotiating experience too,
that rather got used
[dahan] 1:31 pm: and mckay is out
[Fanwoman] 1:32 pm: you shouldn't retrograde character growth, either, but that didn;t stop
them
[dahan] 1:32 pm: elizabeth also carried a p90 and the international civilian co-op stuff
[Fanwoman] 1:32 pm: when did she carry a P90? She avoided her own gun for a long while
[dahan] 1:32 pm: it was a full military operation by S4
[Purpleyin] 1:32 pm: Oh SGA as much as I love it, it's just as much a lesson in how not to
write things
[Fanwoman] 1:33 pm: lol
[AnyRei] 1:33 pm: Is it the shadow of Vashta Nerada?
[dahan] 1:33 pm: she wore a p90 during the replicators takeover
[dahan] 1:33 pm: yet we still got SGU with SGA lessons being learnt and ignored

[dahan]

[Purpleyin] 1:33 pm: any - lol
[AnyRei] 1:33 pm: maybe it's sister
[dahan] 1:33 pm: another fight for another day though
[AnyRei] 1:33 pm: it doesn't eat people
[Purpleyin] 1:34 pm: I need to rewatch that ep sometime (Dr Who - Library of the dead?)
[Fanwoman] 1:34 pm: nifty one
[AnyRei] 1:34 pm: yes this one is soooo great
[AnyRei] 1:34 pm: and midnight

[dahan]

[AnyRei] 1:34 pm: and midnight
[Fanwoman] 1:34 pm: Ah, McKay, master of understatement
[Fanwoman] 1:35 pm: I like Tryla's commentary there
[Purpleyin] 1:35 pm: hee, the navigation by Jinto is amusing
[dahan] 1:35 pm: wish they explored more athosian stuff
[dahan] 1:35 pm: first allies and we know squat
[Fanwoman] 1:35 pm: don't we all
[AnyRei] 1:36 pm: turbolift
[Purpleyin] 1:36 pm: so transporters work without ancient gene interestingly
[dahan] 1:36 pm: we know craploads about the Jaffa on SG-1
[dahan] 1:36 pm: how come Atlantis doesn't have transport rings
[Fanwoman] 1:36 pm: I know! So uncool! I can't help wondering if that has to do with the
Athosian's rep being female
[dahan] 1:36 pm: the outpost did didn't it?

[dahan]

[Fanwoman] 1:37 pm: I do son't remember
[Fanwoman] 1:37 pm: so don't
[dahan] 1:38 pm: Ford sure is young for a leutinent now that I think about it
[Fanwoman] 1:38 pm: how can he tell which way is east?
[dahan] 1:38 pm: and being a vet SG team memember
[Purpleyin] 1:38 pm: Maybe goa'uld like to be more dramatic wirh rings
[AnyRei] 1:38 pm: inner compass?
[dahan] 1:38 pm: probably like east wing , south peir, etc...
[Purpleyin] 1:38 pm: not to mention the closed rooms for transporters make more sense on
the space ship that can go underwater, if airtight
[Fanwoman] 1:38 pm: he's not young; you become a Lt. after graduating
[dahan] 1:39 pm: based on location
[dahan] 1:39 pm: yea but he's a SG team veteran of teh SGC too
[Fanwoman] 1:39 pm: so 20 is normal
[dahan] 1:39 pm: so it's kind of young I think...

[dahan]

[Purpleyin] 1:39 pm: do we know how old he is in S1?
[Fanwoman] 1:39 pm: I don't remember that, yeah
[Purpleyin] 1:39 pm: Is he a vet SG member or is he just one they could spare?
[Purpleyin] 1:40 pm: Remember, best of the best speak is really 2nd best people we can
afford to send on 1 way trip to another galaxy
[dahan] 1:40 pm: in Rising he's the one with experience
[Fanwoman] 1:40 pm: SG3 had a high turnover
[dahan] 1:40 pm: lol
[dahan] 1:40 pm: volunteer mission remember? no one can be ordered to go
[dahan] 1:40 pm: or was not ordered to go

[dahan]

[Fanwoman] 1:41 pm: and wouldn't you WANT someone with a lot of experience going?
[dahan] 1:41 pm: that's why Sumner went right ****
[Fanwoman] 1:41 pm: love his analogies
[dahan] 1:41 pm: Love that they all defer to him
[Fanwoman] 1:41 pm: well, wouldn't you?
[Fanwoman] 1:42 pm: smartest guy in the room and all that
[dahan] 1:42 pm: lol
[dahan] 1:42 pm: Did you see Sheps eyes? He was sooo out of his element!

[dahan]

[Fanwoman] 1:42 pm: Ford's right--a scientist could have done it
[Purpleyin] 1:42 pm: He'll get used to it though of course
[Purpleyin] 1:42 pm: Bet he wondered what he signed up for
[dahan] 1:43 pm: I like the fact Ford got a speaking part, a real one right there
[Fanwoman] 1:43 pm: yeah
[Purpleyin] 1:43 pm: Grodin does a lot of reactionary acting doesn't he
[dahan] 1:43 pm: don't they have a malp with a arm that can push the button!
[Fanwoman] 1:43 pm: I'm glad he got a decent role when he left

[dahan]

[Purpleyin] 1:43 pm: hehe, the first thing is food
[Fanwoman] 1:43 pm: Poor McKay
[AnyRei] 1:44 pm: poor poor mckay
[dahan] 1:44 pm: yea... that wasn't very Weir-ish they way she said that to him...
[Fanwoman] 1:44 pm: he's hypoglycemic--it should be food first
[dahan] 1:44 pm: kinda mad at her right now... She's a friend!
[Fanwoman] 1:44 pm: she so puts him down!
[Purpleyin] 1:44 pm: surprised they don't mention the hypoglcemia when he fainted
[dahan] 1:45 pm: they got rif of the athosian fire lighter too huh...
[Purpleyin] 1:45 pm: you'd think carson would say that
[AnyRei] 1:45 pm: me too

[dahan]

[Fanwoman] 1:45 pm: he was too busy teasing him
[Purpleyin] 1:45 pm: too good an opportunity to rib him I guess
[Fanwoman] 1:45 pm: I know the man has a huge ego, but that doesn't make it okay to be
like that
[Purpleyin] 1:46 pm: Does that mean the shield was never used before?
[dahan] 1:46 pm: imprint is crap... the irristiable guy in S3 got one
[dahan] 1:46 pm: and Shep used it
