heh! superford LOL

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. That sounds--seriously funky. In a good way? I dunno yet--I really, really want to have faith in the writers, because they've been so good to us so far.

Putting aside Super(andgodIhopetheydon'tkillhim)Ford and New Guy--gee, now Rodney's had two different love interests bumped up to Lieutenant Colonel. *g*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Well, I thought "Letters from Pegasus" would be really hokey, and it blew me away. So, I'm trusting them. I think this could be really cool. And they get to have "you're a Lieutenant Colonel now" sex. John's going to make Rodney call him "Colonel" in bed now, I know it.

I'm kind of intrigued by John not being the ranking military officer on base anymore, too. I can see some conflict there, and of course Rodney would be on his side...I think it's going to be pretty interesting. Aside from the whole Ford thing.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Every time someone gets a promotion on TV, I have to wrap my brain around the new rank. "Colonel Sheppard." ::says it a few times aloud:: Hmm. (Rodney getting to snap, "Colonel," instead of "Major." Hmmmm...)

I'm kind of intrigued by John not being the ranking military officer on base anymore, too.

I can actually see John being kind of relieved to not be ranking military officer anymore. He didn't sign on for it, and I think it's been a little hard on him--there probably will be conflict, but I can see him being a little happier to not having it all resting on his shoulders, honestly.

PegB has been making me think about that--with Jack there, PegB John hasn't been the top of the food chain, and I think that makes him a little freer. He can be a little more maverick when not everyone is counting on him to be The Guy.

He can be a little more maverick when not everyone is counting on him to be The Guy.

So you're saying he'll feel a little more comfortable having kinky sex on the balcony?

Yes, it all comes down to the porn with me.

You've got a point--he won't have to make the tough decisions as often. But, I'm thinking about his conflict with Teyla in "Letters"--he was torn, between her way of thinking and his military way, and I can see him going more "Atlantean" depending on what kinds of orders the new the new leader is handing out.

I'm a little curious about how the new military leader is going to fit in. He's not going to be a regular, since they've announced only one new one, so how often are we going to see him? How much is he going to impact the day-to-day goings on?

Hmm. First thought - "aargh!". More rational second thought - "this could be cool."

So far they've done good stuff with stories that sounded on paper fairly bad, so this could be great. Plus Ford will finally get some storylines. And there's some great potential confict with Sheppard's new superior.

Hmm. Definite possibilities here :-)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking the same thing. It all could be done really well, and the show has surprised me (most pleasantly a great deal so far. And BadAss!Ford--what's there not to like about that?

[cedara]

In light of a few superhero crossovers I read on LJ lately, where SGA characters had gotten superpowers reading those spoilers strikes me as incredibly funny. :)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Oh, I seem to have missed those crossovers!

But the SGA characters are already have superpowers. Of supercuteness.

[cedara]

Well, an SGA relevant one was the story akire_yta started, which I like lots. If they are giving Ford as much characterization as she does to hers, it could be good.

And yes, they have Supercuteness Powers. :-))

[ex-danvers514.livejournal.com]

Okay, I don't care about whatever corny possibilities there may be, but that is *SO* frickin cool!! Pure sci-fi dude! And Ford all supersoldiered!

*squees*

::squees back at you::

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I think it's going to be way cool.

As long as the new character doesn't steal good snark time from John and Rodney. ::glares::

Re: ::squees back at you::

[ex-danvers514.livejournal.com]

Ronan eh? We can just slash him with Ford (I'm very optimistic you see *g*).

Re: ::squees back at you::

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Why, yes, we can! You're just full of good ideas.

[carolyn-claire.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a whole lot of interesting new and updated character stuff happening...for the male characters. Zilch for the women, apparently--no new females, no important new duties or super-abilities...why do we have women on Atlantis, again? *sigh*

[mmmchelle.livejournal.com]

I never look at the spoiler sights so you'll have to spoil me. John gets promoted? Ford becomes a supersoldier, and I knew there was going to be a new military guy, but I take it he's sticking around?

Will Weir stil be in charge? I want Atlantis to stay a civilian operation. I really, really do. There's enough military scifi in the world.

I really enjoyed Letters, too, btw.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing Weir will still be in charge. And I'm assuming the new Military guy will be sticking around?

And yes, John get promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. *g* We get to hear Rodney say "Colonel" and snap his fingers. It's going to be so hot.

[mmmchelle.livejournal.com]

We get to hear Rodney say "Colonel" and snap his fingers. It's going to be so hot.

It really is all about the sex with you, isnt' it?

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

That, and the all-round Rodney hotness.

Pants!

[mmmchelle.livejournal.com]

And people say I'm evil.

You're a very naughty Grrrl.

[maraceles.livejournal.com]

I won't read, I won't read, I won't read...I MUST read!

For I am a spoiler whore. Damn it. *g*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. I'm right there with you. I try to avoid them, because they really make me expect the worst. But I'm just *dying* to know what happens next with this damn show.

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't... No. It's mean and eeebil and indulgent and bitchy...

Well, that's Ford Borg-ered.

*ducks rotten tomatoes*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

You are a cruel, cruel woman.

:P

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

I try. ;-)

Though I did have a plot bunny - when I first started watching SG:A - of what would happen if the Ancients had experimented with creating a hybrid Human/Wraith species as an attempt at diddling with natural selection. Basically creating something to eat the Wraith and give the humans a fighting chance with some introduced Wraith population control.

Luckily Al whacked me over the head with something heavy before the idea expanded. Bless 'er. Saved me from the Godzilla Bunny From Hell. :-D

From the spoilers I'm apprehensively wishing she'd go whack TPTB over the head too 'cause it looks like we're getting out plot bunnies from the same warehouse. 'Cause yeah Ford's a bit of a fifth wheel but making him Ford-of-Nine isn't going to solve anything.

*thinks*

If Sheppard's getting promoted and a new not!dead CO... Will Weir have to carry a baseball glove with her every time Sheppard comes back from a mission to throw at him as he's carted off to the brig? 'Cause I have a feeling he'll be more insubordinate than out of it. :-D

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Okay, that was a very evil plot bunny, and I'm glad Al whacked you for it. But I'm oddly intrigued.

I'm hoping for more Insubordinate!Sheppard. With McKay blithely following along.

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

Erm, from some of the hints and spoilers already out there, I'm convinced the WRAITH are actually a hybrid of something and Ancients.

...but then, my head is a really strange place at times.

Don't Shoot the Anonymouse...

[(Anonymous)]

S'me. S'Munchie. :-D

I'm convinced the WRAITH are actually a hybrid of something and Ancients.

I've been pretty much 99.9% convinced they're related to Nem from Fire and Water in some sort of core genetic way. So if your head's strange, think what it mine must be like? A bizarre semi-landscape of life-force sucking aliens walking into the nearest Starbucks and screaming 'Not lait! Cafe MOCHA!'.

...

Yes. Quite. ¬.¬ I'm a weird one.

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

Yikes. *fears for Lantis*

BTW, friended you. Figured tis easier than trying to remember whose journal I commented to you in.

Errr...generally I have a better grammar structure, but *eep!* workbusybraindead.
