I just watched Atlantis and I really liked it! I liked the story and all the character reactions... kept me guessing what will happen next. Looking forward to next week

Here is my detailed reaction in the Adrift thread

I really enjoyed Atlantis too, but am too tired to post much about it tonight.

Just wanted to share some of the Sam-love before going to bed!

Night Samanda! Night Sam, wherever you are in the Peg galaxy!

I *loved* "Adrift"!!! That was a really exciting season premiere! (FYI - I have been staying away from spoilers as much as possible. So far, so good.)

It was fabulous to see Sam again. My initial thought on seeing her in the episode was "YAY! SHE'S BACK!!!" And now as I am watching the episode again, when Sam first appeared I thought, "Damn, this woman is beautiful! She's been playing this character for 10 years. We've seen Sam meeting alternate versions of herself several times now - including RepliCarter. I think it would be cool for the current Carter to meet a younger version of herself (or several). I think the idea popped into my head because I caught a few minutes of an episode of Star Trek: Voyager where characters were meeting others from their own past. (I never saw the whole episode so I don't know what exactly happens. I just remembered that a present-day Chakotay talks to a Janeway that hadn't been stranded in the Delta quadrant yet and he is trying not to let her find out too much about what is going to happen in her future.)

Looking forward to more Sam. And looking forward to seeing her actually interact with the Atlantis bunch. The Carter/McKay interaction is always fun, but I'm interested in what her relationship will be with the others.

Let's Tappinate,
We won't leave it too late
We'll pwn and we'll grate
Till their eyes dilate
And they have it straight

So come on, Tappinate!
Recreate, procreate, reinstate, conjugate?
Tappinate!

Umm... that was bad. I plead 1am. I'm sure you can relate?

*ducks and runs*

LOL..didnt know there were so many words that rhymed with Tappinate.

Nice job for a 1am ramble too. Don't think I could have done any better ..hehe

There are some nice bits about what Sam will have to go through in Atlantis.

And then I like the fact that Joe is pointing out that Amanda came after the decision about Torri had already been made!

*reads* Wonderful article...though most of it was a bit new for me. Loved the glowing remarks of AT though. Thanks for sharing!

awe...I've had plenty of parties of one before and I highly recommend a rum cake next time. Makes eating the batter a bit more tipsy fun.

I am really looking forward to see Carter and Zelenka work together.

Thanks for sharing the link..*saves* will definitely have to read it later.

Tappination, the Waltz

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11...al/SamTapA.jpg

It was Tappination
I know
And it might have ended
While I did my art

But a furtive glance
And a threatening stance
Told me you had gone
All astray
Heavy handed

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11...al/SamTAPB.jpg

It was Tappination
I know
Seeing your eyes glow
With the Stargate behind you

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11...al/SamTAPC.jpg

Then I touched your arm

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/ChopinGal/Tap7.jpg

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/ChopinGal/Tap8.jpg

And next moment
You punched me

Tappination turned to shove

Your a nut

Nicely done though

Oh yes..very nice opening indeed! Kinda odd seeing her face and name there without the rest of SG1 though. *misses*

Here is my detailed reaction in the Adrift thread

http://forum.gateworld.net/showpost....8&postcount=35

I'm a total Atlantis noob and I'm not afraid to admit that.

SG1 is my drug of choice so this was something new. It was a bit confusing for me as the story picks up where season 3 ended so I had to muddle through most of it trying to make heads or tails of everything.

Won't say too much specifically here as I don't want to spoil it for those who have to wait to watch it...just not fair to you all. The excitement and countdown is part of the fun.

It was really good though and had some awesome scenes in it that boggled my mind and made me go, "Now how did they do that?" Loved seeing AT too though I do wish it was a bit more.

**antoa** · 28 September 2007, 10:11 PM

I just got done watching Atlantis as well. I watched it live (I normally can't stand to watch TV live anymore - I love to fast forward through the commercials), so hopefully they'll get the data from my DVR and I'll count for something

Anyway, I thought it was a great episode. Lots of action! And

Spoiler:

I am really tired now, so any further observations would probably be incoherent. I'll have to watch again tomorrow.

Pleasant dreams of the Pegasus Galaxy everyone

**tagger** · 28 September 2007, 10:36 PM

YIPPEE!!

Finally, some Stargate!

I would say AT and Sam treaded VERY lightly on those SGA boards... even weightlessly hehe.

Loved it!

Can't wait for next week!

Oh Mum's flatmate... who's kinda mine too, she was teaching her 5 and 6 year old class about Emperor Penguins and she held up a metre ruler saying "this is how tall an Emperor Penguin is" and one of the kids goes "Miss! An Emperor Penguin is almost as tall as you!" And she went "Excuse me. But I am exactly one and a *half* Emperor Penguins tall!" Heh. Heh... heh?

we have a new unit of measurement...forget metric, forget imperial, the future is measuring in penguins.

I think that might be one of those big unanswerable questions...

I'm a Magpie supporter myself but had to support the Cats today!!!

**Spacegirlnz** · 28 September 2007, 11:16 PM

*rocks back and forth* I don't wanna watch it... *cries* But I want to so much at the same time... I managed to play 4 seconds before I stopped it. What should I do??? *whimpers*

**the dancer of spaz** · 29 September 2007, 12:54 AM

David Nykl was recently interviewed by FADPOV (never heard of it before).

His take on the casting decisions falls in line with what we've heard before.

It's nice to hear that perspective repeated by someone who's obviously unbiased (i.e. not a PTB), and who has no need to perpetuate "the company line" unnecessarily (meaning he could've simply said nothing at all if it wasn't true, rather than offering the info without being prompted).

(I particularly found the "mutual" reference pretty interesting.)

ETA: Oh noes! Ooobs beat me, didn't she??

**Spacegirlnz** · 29 September 2007, 01:18 AM

I took majorsal's advice, though I don't have any margareta mix, so I had to deal with tequila.

So:

2 shots of tequila,
some hot tamalies
1/2 a packet of M&Ms
and one episode of Stargate Atlantis later...

Spoilerie caps:

Spoiler:

And my theme song is currently Never Be The Same Again By Mel C...

LOL *picks up pom poms to cheer with you*

It was great seeing Amanda again in something new but what we saw last night was soo much a teaser. I think I read somewhere that she's the B-story until Reunion when she firmly steps upon Atlantis soil to take command. So guess that means one more ep of brief glimpses and snatches of her. *sigh*

Oh one freaky part of last nights ep..

Ooh another! *feels overloaded with great things to read* Thanks for this though and I WILL make time to read it later. Thanks!

Very nice capping there...though that's pretty much the extent of AT in the ep I think. *whines and complains more* Thanks for going the extra mile to get these up here though. *clicks happily*
