SGA: The Return, Pt 2  
And the back half of the season is here! WOOOO! Certainly took long enough! :P And yes, I know I'm really slow at posting this. *bows humbly* :P

SGA: The Return, Pt. 2

(this is on second viewing... on the first, I was too engrossed to type :P)
-They blew up their own gateroom! ROCK ON! :P
-Gotta say, I'm lovin' the whole Woolsey/O'Neill dynamic! Woolsey is like the annoying little child who doesn't stop asking "are we there yet?" "how much longer?" "how much longer now?"
-Poor Walter just wants love for the Lanteans! :(
-Awwww! Lizzie has teh woobie when Teyla mentions what Niam did to her!
-And OMG, Ronon is SO her big, manly defender when she says that, and her little smile in response is SO cute. XD
-Note to Rodney: don't try to snub your boss out of taking credit for her own ideas. :P
-OMG LIZZIE WIZARD OF OZ REFERENCE!
-Does anyone else think Dr. Lee's response reminds them of the infamous X-Files scene? "I WAS DRUGGED!" :p
-Okay, that scene where they're dodging the drones among the city's towers? CGI LOVE. *bows at the feet of Rainmaker*
-"I'll try to run the drones into your least favorite buildings!" LMAO!
-Yaaaaay for the underwater jumpers!
-"Oh, Dr. Beckett. Well I'm comforted." Awwwwwww!! *huggles Carson*
-"It is, however, draining in." "Oh, here we go again!" LMAO! The bane of living in a boat city! :P
-Oh, yes, Shep, do more of those pullups! :P
-Okay, men who can swim underwater like that? Hot.
-Does anyone else feel like Jack is the only one in danger (from drowning), but that the team in the jumper isn't in any danger at all? I think the fact that all we see in the jumper is a little dribble TOTALLY kills the danger feeling there. It's like trying to tell us that a house will flood because the spigot on the sink is dripping.
-LMAO! Woolsey, you're so not a badass, even with a gun. :P
-HA! They totally have cannons on their arms! Hordak approves!
-Heee! Lizzie gets to play soldier.
-Anyone else get the impression that Jack's retirement rambling was ad-libbed? :P
-"What are our options?" "I just gave you one." DAMN YOU, [info]mizz_magenta, now I can't hear that line without giggling! :P
-*giggles* I'm such a fan of the Rodney!smacking. It's adorable!
-Elizabeth, haven't you ever been told NOT to say you haven't seen a single replicator? You don't have wood on which to knock in Atlantis.
-Teyla's so badass taking out the replicators in the chair room!
-"Colonel! Am I gonna have to fire you?" No, but you might have to turn this city around...
-"He put his hand in my forehead. How am I supposed to resist that?!" "Well, I like to close my eyes and think of England." OMG JACK I LOVE YOU.
-The rewind thing? AWESOME. It left me totally confused for a few moments, but on second viewing, it all fits perfectly with what we've already been shown.
-*giggles* The look that Lizzie gives Ronon when they pair off? Heeeeee! XD
-OMG WHERE DID THE MINT JAR GO?! *cries*
-The replicators rebuilt the gate room - convenient!
-Lizzie did a fair job on O'Neill's ass... *giggle*
-"...next time, consider bringing Carter." SHIPPER SQUEE!! *ahem* :P
-That hug is SO CUTE! :D

Overall: not a bad episode. I definitely liked Part 1 better (much more of a character episode) but this one wasn't bad. Actually, it felt more like a Jack O'Neill episode than anything. Which I won't complain about because I love Jack. :D The climax was rather anticlimactic and reused from SG-1, but it worked well with the rewind effect.


And yes, it is the return of the Santa!Lizzie icon, because it's that time of year. :p

ZOMG! Alls we need is flying monkeys!

"I’m in this as deep as you are and I’m not even the one who overreacted... I didn’t do the... with the thing."

And we're ALL freaking out about the MINT JAR!!!!! *flail*

But yes, overall not to shabby of an ep. *luffs teh Jack*
Kirsten: Liz - O RLY[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 09:53 am (UTC)
Maybe they'll find a planet with flying monkeys someday. It would fit with the long-standing Oz jokes! :P Plus the flying monkeys are just way cool.

We shall hold a candlelight vigil for the Mint Jar! We are lost without it. :'(

Heh. Didn't she take it back to Earth with her when she cleared her office?
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 07:57 pm (UTC)
Yes, but until I see that it's okay, I will continue to worry. :P
Trialia[info]trialia on November 23rd, 2006 07:58 pm (UTC)

Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 08:00 pm (UTC)

Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 08:02 pm (UTC)
"Echoes," I believe!
Sally: Weir - Oh really?[info]mizz_magenta on November 23rd, 2006 09:08 pm (UTC)
FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD!!!!!
Kirsten: Liz - O RLY[info]xfkirsten on November 24th, 2006 05:03 am (UTC)
Is he supposed to be in that one?
Sally: Weir- why?[info]mizz_magenta on November 24th, 2006 04:08 pm (UTC)
OK, spooky. I KNOW I read somewhere that Ford was meant to be in Echoes. I'm sure of it. But know I can't find anything supposing that. Damn!
Anastasia: SGA; Torri is cuter than everyone!!!![info]zerofantasym on November 23rd, 2006 01:57 pm (UTC)
OMG you're right! No mint jar!!! *cries*
Kirsten: Liz - Oh Noes[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 07:57 pm (UTC)
If it goes away, all will be lost! :'(

LMAO!!! Too true!! And I was totally loving the Elizabeth/Ronon dynamic!
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 07:58 pm (UTC)
Me, too! I really wanna see more of the Elizabeth/Ronon stuff!
Sally[info]mizz_magenta on November 23rd, 2006 05:49 pm (UTC)
How can you hear and that and not have pr0ny thoughts!? :p
Much love for the Oz reference and more so bc teh Lizzie said it *g*
It was like having old Jack back, which is never a bad thing imo.
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 07:58 pm (UTC)
*gets out the poking stick again* *pokepokepokepoke* :P
Sally: mangrapes[info]mizz_magenta on November 23rd, 2006 09:08 pm (UTC)
ZOMG!!!!!!!! *flees* :p
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on November 24th, 2006 05:03 am (UTC)
You can't hide! BWAHAHAHAHA!
Trialia[info]trialia on November 23rd, 2006 07:59 pm (UTC)
heh, I know! *giggle* I didn't wanna be the first to say it, but that line totally sent my mind into the gutter.
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 08:01 pm (UTC)
Heeee! It was brought up in the Elizabeth/Ronon thread. ;)
Trialia[info]trialia on November 23rd, 2006 08:03 pm (UTC)
Ah, I see! I'm not a frequent visitor to that one, even though I 'ship it... I can't keep up with everything I 'ship in this fandom, there are just too many.
Amie: Sparky hearts[info]hipapheralkus on November 23rd, 2006 06:51 pm (UTC)
There was a Wizard of Oz reference? I think my brain was lost in 'OMG NEW ATLANTIS' mode , so I use that as my excuse
:P

Part 1 I liked because it was more character driven, but I liked part 2 because of the team aspect, and even though it's Atlantis, lots of Jack didn't hurt one bit!

The mint jar is probably still on Earth with everything else she took back from Atlantis. I'm sure it'll be right back in it's place on her desk by next week :)
Amie: purplesky[info]hipapheralkus on November 23rd, 2006 06:53 pm (UTC)
Heh, the Oz thing just randomly popped into my head. Ignore me. :P
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 07:59 pm (UTC)
But what if she leaves it on Earth?! :'(
Amie[info]hipapheralkus on November 23rd, 2006 08:00 pm (UTC)
She can't do that! The mint jar belongs on her desk, so it better be there next week! *cries*
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 08:02 pm (UTC)
We'll have to wait until Monday to see! :(
Amie[info]hipapheralkus on November 23rd, 2006 08:08 pm (UTC)
*sigh* Yep, till Monday.
Sally: Weir- why?[info]mizz_magenta on November 23rd, 2006 09:07 pm (UTC)
So it either got kaboomed or left on Earth... either way, no more mint jar until Caldwell picks it up from Lizzie's apartment adn brings it back on the Deddy
Kirsten: Liz - O RLY[info]xfkirsten on November 24th, 2006 05:02 am (UTC)
...John has to give her a new present now! :P
Sally[info]mizz_magenta on November 24th, 2006 04:08 pm (UTC)
It's like the best idea ever told. :D
Anastasia: SGA: Liz - really??[info]zerofantasym on November 24th, 2006 03:53 am (UTC)
What OZ reference? Fill me in :D
Amie[info]hipapheralkus on November 24th, 2006 04:08 am (UTC)
Sheppard says something like 'it's good to be home' and Elizabeth responds with 'there's no place like it'. I think that's the reference Kirsten is getting at :)
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on November 24th, 2006 05:04 am (UTC)
That is indeed the one! :)
qasimjavid[info]qasimjavid on November 23rd, 2006 08:19 pm (UTC)

Kirsten: Liz - Cuter[info]xfkirsten on November 23rd, 2006 08:26 pm (UTC)
Yes indeed! :P
qasimjavid[info]qasimjavid on November 23rd, 2006 08:33 pm (UTC)

The rewind bit was cool! It saved the ep.
