Can never have enough*THUNK* pics!

Pajus, I about snorted my drink over that one. lol Well done.

Everlovin: Thank you for the kind response about the fic! I'm glad you liked it! As for the weather, when it comes to Texas, "right next door" is a relative term. I'm over on the South Central, almost Eastern side, more than a day's drive from the New Mexico border, so our weather's pretty different from that of West Texas. Last summer was unusually wet and not nearly as hot as usual. We peaked around the 80's and 90's, whereas usually it breaks 100-degrees around May or June and stays in the high 90's until September, when it cools off to the mid-90's. Guess you guys stole our heat wave... Seriously, very cool that you're in New Mexico! I'm hoping to make a trip out through the Southwest someday, as it's one of the parts of the country I haven't gotten to go to yet.

I love Farscape. I'm not great about visiting other forums - too easy to spend too much time on the computer and not enough with RL with all the forums, Livejournals, etc that are fun to check out. but I will check this one out - do you have a link?

I completely empathize about being careful what boards you check out. I've spread myself a bit thin lately, on top of all the school-work stuff, so some of my boards I'm part of have gotten neglected. Terra Firma's at http://terrafirmascapers.com. The folks there are super-nice and many are SG-1 fans too (thanks to the Ben and Claudia overlap effect). There's a few Atlantis fans there too, though they're not quite as vocal unless they've just put up a fanvid or seen a new episode. And thanks for checking out my fic!

Sorry to ramble off-topic. To make up for it, here's my contribution to the sexy expressive-Radek series:

Nice piccies!

Thanks for the links. I will check out later this week, getting kind of late here since I HAVE to go to work tomorrow - could really use one more day, haven't quite recovered from last week yet!
I tend to be more of a lurker on other forums or blogs, except David's!

Loved your story btw. Really nice and I liked the gentle touch you had with Zelenka being a friend to Mckay.

Can never have enough*THUNK* pics!

Ain't that the truth, these are some great pics to start my day with

Elizabeth: What is Katie doing to Rodney

Radek: Oh my God not again, RODNEY!!!! I said gently, now look what you've made her do

Elizabeth: Where did she get all the ropes???

Radek: She made the plants that ropes can be made of

Rosehawk: I hope that Zelenka will be in many episodes. And hope he will be in regular cast in 6th season of Atlantis.

We can only hope; however, I doubt they will make Zelenka a regular. That part was painfully obvious when they made Keller a regular and Radek stayed reoccurring for S5 when Radek has been around alot longer and connects with the cast and fans much better - IMO.

Check out David's blog. While he is not the best blogger,- David enjoys RL too much - he is witty and funny when he does blog and is great about letting us know where he stands with episodes. I think he has been averaging around 10 episodes though in S3 he was in something like 12 or 14.

Spoiler:

Though the Last Man in S4 was really pushing whether you could say Radek was in that episode.

You start your day with them and I end my day with them.

ROTFLOL!

Anything to do with a cactus?!

Awww Reefgirl, you would have so loved Improv tonight.

We had to do Party Quirks - it's one of the big skits done at the summer shows which we are getting ready for and if you've seen "Whose Line Is It Anyway" then you know what I am talking about. Boy you really have to be prepared for just about anything - I had the wackiest one to date, for me I was a fingernail. I also had the best punchline of the night. I come out looking for a manicure, look over to the side and see this guy and say "Oh are you a cutie -cle (cuticle)

and speaking of cuties






This is one of my favorites!

Loved your story btw. Really nice and I liked the gentle touch you had with Zelenka being a friend to Mckay

Thanks! I do think those two are better friends than either would let on. Zelenka always acts like he's kind of the liaison between McKay and the rest of the engineers/scientists, being the one to speak for them or defuse him a bit. I loved the scene in This Mortal Coil, I think it was, where he was so quietly supportive. He knows McKay has a heart; he just doesn't show it much. Which is part of why in Trio

Spoiler:

McKay saying he doesn't like Zelenka doesn't really bother me, because he's that way about everybody. It takes the risk of death for him to admit to caring about someone. Heck, in "Sunday", he called Beckett boring and acted like he was painful to be around, but now, god forbid anyone say a negative word about the good doctor. Now, having Keller and Carter agree is uncalled for, though it always seemed to me like Carter was a little uncomfortable around everybody she didn't know very well, or simply wasn't sure she liked (like cringing when Vala hugged her and stuff).

McKay really does respect Zelenka underneath it all, I think. He gave him some good praise in Tao of Rodney that likely really was from the heart.

Rosehawk, very cool about improv night! You had to be a fingernail? Wow, you did better with that than I would have! Good for the folks running the show for getting creative! (Love the pic of Radek with his glasses off, too. He always looks so sincere and adorable when he does that.)

Pajus, you're cracking me up with those pics! Love it!

That chemistry between the two Davids really makes Zelenka and McKay's relationship work! I don't think that McKay is necessarily smarter than Zelenka, he just likes to think he is and he does so by putting Radek down. McKay needs a Zelenka to keep him balanced with his department, otherwise I think his whole department would have mutnied on him by now.

Spoiler:

I love the scene in Mortal Coil. It was really a wonderful and defining moment in their relationship. I think even more so than McKay apologizing to Radek in Tao of Rodeny because it wasn't forced - no one was dying, Weir and Carson (at the time) were already dead.

Which is part of why in Trio

Spoiler:

I have to agree with you here. McKay's response in Trio didn't bother me too much, though I was taken aback by the eagarness on his face. Hewlett just did that face so well. I would have expected the behavior from McKay given how he tends to treat Zelenka and others. Sometimes people with low self-esteem tend to do that to people they feel threatened by. I suppose McKay was trying to find a way to redeem himself with Sam since Radek saved the day in Quarantine

Sam's comments seemed force and not something I would have expected her to say and Keller's comments were just plain wrong coming out of a doctor's mouth. Course McKay and Keller were just trying to make themselves look good in Sam's eyes. Sam really didn't agree with McKay and Keller, she tried to take her inital comments back and McKay wouldn't let her. There was no value to set the scene up the way they did. It would have been fine if Keller hadn't made the comments about hair sniffing, something about pigeons would have been much better. I love pigeons being something from Radek's past - now if she would have said that was weird, I think fans would have related to the whole scene alot better.

Yeah! LOL. A fingernail, can you believe it. The guy who yelled it out was just getting back at me because when he was up I said he should be doing Disco! Of which I was getting back at him because a few weeks ago I had to do a finger skit about lingere thanks to him and it was extremely embarassing!

Ah now that would be telling, I can't wait for the next picture to put ideas into practise

Party Quirks was one of my favourites on Who's Line, Ryan Styles as a sperm still makes me laugh out loud

How about this one?!

or this!

Maybe this?!

LOL. Ryan Stiles is great!

We are practicing our Party Quirks in class! At one of the evening shows that the club where I take classes does professional performances at, the skit got into sperm and protection. The poor little guys couldn't get to where they wanted to go! - it was one of the funniest skits I had seen in a long time.

Radek: ... and then you place your hands on her head like this and gently push her down, until she understands what you want from her. And don't force her into anything.

Rodney: A-HA! So that's why me saying "Get down on your knees and inflate my boat with your blowing capability" didn't work on Katie

[Reefgirl]

Rodney: Woah woah woah are you saying she's got to be naked for it to work

Radek: Elizabeth, your opinion on this please
