Gate Friday

[skroberts]

SG-1: "Ethon" --
+ Well, crap.
+ So, are there any female Priors? Are they equal opportunity religious zealots?
+ Chair banter. Hee!
+ *gnaws on jerky president guy*
+ Well, crap!!
+ Man, I love Gliders.
+ STOP IT! STOP SHOOTING AT PROMETHEUS!
+ This is why the Ori are evil, people; they tell you to kill without caring!
+ prometheusjustexplodedomgNO!! *bawls*
+ *is in shock*
+ And now you have a bunch of PISSED OFF EARTHLINGS on your planet!! >:|
+ *still in shock*
+ *pets Daniel*
+ Someone SHOOT HIM!
+ O-o-o-o-o, shiny SGC shot.
+ I have a hard time feeling sorry for those people.
+ *squeaks with unhappiness*
+ Name ideas for the next ship -
1. Please Don't Blow Up This One
2. I Told You Naming Things After Greek Tragedies Was a Bad Idea
But in all seriousness...
3. The Pendergast *sniffle*

Final Thoughts: *is still in shock*

Atlantis: "The Tower" --
Instead of a list of squeeage (which you wouldn't be getting anyway) I "wrote" a poem to express my feelings for the episode...

How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.
I hate thee to the depth and breadth and height
My fangirly soul can reach, when cringing ever so slight
For the horror that scorches my eyes.
I hate thee to the level of every Friday's
Fandom need, by chevron and wormhole-light.
I hate thee freely, for the Gateroom décor before my sight.
I hate thee purely, for the fan fiction clichés.
I hate thee with a passion,
For making John out as a trollop.
I hate thee with a hate I seemed to develop
Despite my lost brain cells, --- I hate thee with the breath,
Grimaces, tears, and all my squeegee-needing brain! --- and if I choose,
I shall but hate thee only slightly less after I burn my VHS tape from Friday.
(Apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning)

Final Thoughts: Peter Woodward is the only remotely good thing about this episode. Still, it's not enough.

LMAO! That is the PERFECT poem for the craptastic episode that is "The Tower".

I saw it once and refuse to ever watch it again! But I have to because I'm in charge of writing transcripts. *sobs*

But seriously, I'm waiting for the ratings for last friday to comeo out. I want to see how badly Atlantis bombed or actualy producing and playing it out on our screens!

[skroberts]

I, infortunately, had to watch it again with my roommate. But that's the last time.

[athenaktt.livejournal.com]

But you had to at least make fun of it this time, right? Especially, about the prom queen. Ugh her voice hurts me! And She's been in like 3 of the 5 shows I watch. >_<

[skroberts]

Okay, yeah, I had to watch it at least twice so I could make fun of it properly. The first time, I was giggling manically at its badness the whole time, I couldn't take anything down. :P

[drumkings.livejournal.com]

I had heard about the horrible atrocity that is "The Tower", so I decided not to watch it. But Ethon was great!! I cannot CANNOT believe they blew up the Prometheus... I was like "holy shit..."

[skroberts]

The only thing you may need to know about "The Tower" is that they found many, many drones, so they can help defend Atlantis with the Chair again.

And OMG seriously. I cried and wibbled the rest of the night. I'm still stunned.

*clings to Lionel Pendergast*

I think they're bigoted misogynistic religious zealots. Another reason to despise them.

[skroberts]

I wonder what Pendergast muffins taste like. :)

[skroberts]

Ahhhhhhhh!! Alex, stop it with the crack! You should know by now that "[insert name] muffins" are muffins made by that person, not made from that person.

*cries*

*goes to hide in corner with Mitch*

[stoopbeck.livejournal.com]

What can I say? I'm a slow learner.

Of course, that one time you did say you were making head muffins. That was frightening and scarring.

Don't cry! Will having Shep bring you a muffin-gram make you feel better?

I don't think he'll be able to carry them all himself; he'd better call his friends Tony, Rodney, Jack, Carson, Wesley, and Mal to help him out.

House and Wilson will bring the lemonade.

[skroberts]

Head muffins. Miffins made in my mind.

You know my brain's on crack, so why would what makes sense to other people make sense to me? :P

O-o-o-o, Shepmuffin-gram! We'll have a muffin party!

*snuggles all the guys*

*special snuggles for Alex*

[stoopbeck.livejournal.com]

*giggle-snort*

*huggle-snuggles*

Yay, muffin party!

D-I-T-T-O!!!

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

PROMETHEUS!!!! I totally felt really emotional over a stupid ship. I had no idea I would be so sad.

What did you think about Daniel's never giving up until he's dead line? HEHE!

[skroberts]

I was terribly upset. I was yelling at the TV and everything for them to stop shooting at it and then just cried when they didn't.

I loved his line. So true of him! :D

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

I remember the moment the ship broke in half I went, "OMG!" and jumped up.

[skroberts]

I think I squeaked in sadness. All I could do was make incoherent noises. After a while, Alex had to pat me to get me to use real words again.

[drianmalcolm.livejournal.com]

Wait, John's not a space-trollop? Daww..well, there goes my hopes of being a schexy alien lass and hardly having to seduce an Earth-man. You've crushed my hopes and/or dreams! Or maybe not...Hmm..
And all there was to think during SG-1? ZOMGWTFBBQ?!?! Noooooooooooes! (It was so sad it had to be reduced to AIM speak. :()

[skroberts]

If you could see my hand-written notes I take for each ep, you'd see large text yelling for them to stop shooting at the ship and mean faces after comments about the jerky people. I was very upset. I was reduced to unhappy squeaking sounds. :(

[dyoselin.livejournal.com]

Any chance you could scan those notes and show 'em to us? :)

[skroberts]

They're nothing fancy. Just quick, often incoherent mentions of things I saw or thought about during the ep. ;)

[dyoselin.livejournal.com]

I used to wonder how you can remember these things in the episodes then you tell us about your handwritten notes. Then I wonder how you could write legibly and still watch the episode! Talk about multitasking!!

You're my hero. Thanks for this.

[dyoselin.livejournal.com]

I would love to see how the SG1 team redeem themselves for what they just did to the fandom. I can still hear the echoes of anguished souls all over the world.

Love the Sam-Cam reunion. They're like brother and sister.

Meh on The Tower. Yay on your lovely poem!

[skroberts]

My heart still aches... despite certain outfits SG-1 wore in the latest episode. ;)

But seriously, they need to stop killing people off. All the fallen heroes come to live in our closet. It's starting to get crowded. :|

[dyoselin.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there are people out there who would only be too happy to share their closet space! :)
