Radek Zelenka/David Nykl Appreciation, Thunk, Translation Thread

[dancer_4_daniel]

So you're a neighbour to David Hewlett now?

Just about!

[dancer_4_daniel]

See? All bad things are good for something (but sometimes you have to dig quite deep to find it)

Oh is that ever the truth. While I was convalescing, I actually took up crocheting, and even had time to read some books I'd put on hold.

*Special Note: Big, big "Thank you!" to ElephantGirl for my brand new sig! EG, you're the best!*

It was my pleasure, glad you like it.

Nice siggy whiskeygirl!

I get to meet elephantgirl in Chicago in a few weeks!

And I get to meet the (in)famous Rosehawk!

[Lianne]

Ah, thanks for explaining it...I agree, that scene was just plain .... bad.

Im very happy that we are in the age of Antis a small abnormalty

I don't know if everyone else would be into this or not, but I was thinking that Radek's thread needs a List (the game where each person adds an item or two of a certain theme until all ten spots are filled), more specifically: Ten Ways Radek Saves Atlantis Because Hero!Radek is the Best Radek.

1. Radek discovers that the Wraith darts and hive use a system much like schooling fish, backhacks the frequency, and tricks the hive's sensors into thinking the hive is on the edge of a critical power overload. The hive's safeties promptly shut down power to everything but life support -- including the jammers -- thus enabling the Daedalus to beam a nuke aboard.

(And afterwards Rodney shrieks his classic, "that was a terrible plan made all the more terrifying by the fact you thought it was a good one," to which Sheppard replies, "yeah, Rodney, it was such a bad plan that you're still here to yell about it.")

Next if you want, ignore me if you'd like. ^^;;

There was outrage from everyone after that Zelenka bashing scene in Trio, it's been unanimously agreed that Zelenka is the one and only character everybody likes

Yeah, I didn't read anything that said anyone liked it.

And I get to meet the (in)famous Rosehawk!

what did I do to earn the (in)famous??? I am always on my best behavior. ummmmm, you really don't have to answer that

DragonLady, don't give up on the game. I am too tired to be creative at the moment so I will give it a shot tomorrow.

Another reason why the Trio scene didn't work....From Mortal Coil....one of the best friendship character moments.....

2. Radek saves Rodney from choking to death on a lemon peel. (Anyone who knows me knows I enjoy my lemon jokes) by using the Heimlich Maneuver and Rodney grips and claims that Radek has given him a bruised rib or something.

Yep. I certainly appreciate what I have a WHOLE lot more now.

Do you still do it? I learned to crochet at a show last year, I've just finished a tiny blanket for a Premature baby charity

Yep! In fact, I'm making an afghan as we speak. If I ever got brave enough and went to a convention that David was at and it was during winter, I would totally give him a blanket I've made. Nothing says "FanGirl!" like something homemade.

You never know, we could start a trend

LOL. Now don't start giving me ideas....that could be dangerous!

Actually I am trying to make a fanvideo, think my daughter may have found a song for me to use.

[DragonLadyK]

DragonLady, don't give up on the game.

Oh, it's not a question of feeling left out or whatever, but acknowledging that round-robin things aren't every thread's cup of tea.

Spoiler:

Rodney was the only one who didn't bother me since Rodney says things he doesn't mean all the time. Also, he's so bats***t competitive that he would have had the exact same reaction had Zelenka and Carter's situations been reversed.

Spoiler:

Rodney: What, you don't like Sam?
Zelenka: *facepalm* I didn't say that, Rodney.
Rodney: No, but you implied it.
Zelenka: I didn't-- Look, Colonel Carter is a very capable commander--
Rodney: Oh, yeah, yeah, she's the best. Except you don't like her, which means *points to himself* I'm your favorite.
Zelenka: *headdesk* Já ho zabiju. To je magor.
Rodney: Uh huh, you mutter in barbarian all you like: you like me better than the Samatha Carter, golden girl of the SCG -- just admit it. I bet you even think I'm smarter than she is.

We could...I'm suddenly envisioning mittens, a scarf and one of those cute little hats with the bobble on top...
