Stargate Atlantis 1x06 "Childhood's End"

[oceana]

Atlantis was much more entertaining than Stargate.
For one thing, it was Lt. Elliott, who hasn't really died but travelled through space and is now living as a teenage alien on another planet!
I was a bit annoyed with Teyla this week, she really has the worst lines, and she has no humour. Also, where did she learn how to use a P-90? Or are they handing them to everyonw these days?

The highlights:
- McKay talks about Sam. See, it's canon. (Btw, nel_ani wrote a Sam/MacKay fic, Avon Calling, go read)

- The four of them sitting in the puddlejumper. Was anyone else reminded of the A-Team? McKay clearly is Murdock, but I'm not sure about the others. Still, it looked a little like in the A-Team van. *g*

- McKay and the kids! That was just great. I thought that the kids were really cute. I no nothing about kids, and I have no idea how old they were, but they had a great timing.

- I really liked the Sheppard/Elliott interaction, though Sheppard is a bit too much like Jack for my taste. It sin't his fault, is behaviour is very different, but he gets the same lines. I hope they let him have the chance to be his own character.

- OMG! Ford is only 25! I love information like this. Did you notice, I just called him Ford! Yes, I think he deserves that name now. I always thought he was that annoyin, hyperactive guy who thought he was really cool and cute, which he isn't. But now I know that he is only 25. He really is the baby on the team. No wonder he that he tries to suck up to Sheppard so badly. He totally hero-worships him. This has the potential for lots of angsty, sexy fic. Ford is about to have his heart broken by Sheppard. Poor Ford. But good for us! ;-)
