atlantis ramblings
I've been reading a lot of Rodney and John fic. I kind of got sucked in. I watched some of Atlantis and then decided that it wasn't really something I was interested in.
Until the stories and now I want to watch the episodes and I'm pissed off (bad) that something is messing up my downloads, I think it was a partial download (of episode 3!) so I deleted it, reinstalled bit torrent and I'll see how it looks. Is season 1 available yet? pre order?
Watching the first two episodes again, I'm struck by -- well, the two kids that they meet - Teyla's people (I can't spell the name right yet) sound a little too modern Earthish. This bugged the first time I saw it, very small thing.
However, I totally forgot John and Rodney's interactions. Actually I remember Rodney wrong. I kept remembering him more like he was on SG1, instead of this. The whole freak out about the sheilds collapsing seems kind of --illogical on rewatch, no one could figure out that the Ancients would figure out a fail safe. Also I was thinking that this is where the Ancients came from, instead of going to..at least I thik I heard the hologram right.
I'm excited about seeing the rest, I'll watch the second season.
Another moment I loved was when Rodney is stressed and goes off about the hundreds of gate addresses and John says "720" without thinking. I thought the mathy stuff for John was fanon (obviously I wasn't paying attention to what little Atlantis I did watch). I love Rodney's reaction, he processes for a second and keeps on going.

And the math stuff turns Rodney on! (Okay, that part is a little fanon-y. *g*)

And the Ancient's Failsafe comes up again in another episode.
