Okay, I have the boxed set of SGA season 2, right, and I am looking at the case for discs 1 & 2

SHEPPARD'S HAIR D:

It

It

It's round! And brown! And round! I think they cut off the spikey bits and photoshopped his head to look all round WTF

Title: there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered
Rating: G
Characters: Primarily Rodney and Jeannie.
Author's notes: Episode tag for SGA 4.09 "Miller's Crossing".

( So, do I get to go home now? )

This is just a little snippet I wrote back in July or August, when I had a random burst of Christmas spirit. It doesn't have a title, it's not mentally tagged to be part of anything larger other than "their lives" but hey -- it amuses me, so I share.

( What Rodney got his niece for Christmas )

Honestly, if TPTB had been remotely able to keep Keller's characterization consistent, I would have had a lot less objection. My main beef with her is pretty much that she wildly oscillated in behaviour and professed background, so that I thought she was a big liar and suspected her of being a bad guy. (Which would have been cool, actually.) Personally, I love Rodney, and I can see how someone as smart as her could therefore fall for him, especially having realized that yes, he is in some ways a huge sweetheart -- and he's not without flaws. Unlike Katie Brown, Jennifer gets that. It grates on me that she's trying to "fix" him, not because he doesn't need improvement but because it's a stereotype being applied to her.

So: Joe has three sons, Rachel and David both recently had sons, and now Jason has a son! We need some girls in here. *sends mail to SGA cast encouraging them to breed more*

Jason's baby is named Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa.

I look forward to David mangling this a few time sin con footage. XD

♠ Caught the last 15 minutes or so of a random episode of the new Biker Mice From Mars today. Rimfire is Modo's nephew? Weird!

♠ So, I did this thing where I figured I'd ask my roomie for season 1 of SGA on DVD, and my parents for season 2. Only I messed up. My parents got the SGA message (and it's in the living room right now, in a sparkly bag with coloured tissue just kinda on top; I swear, they don't even try to curb my spelunking ways any more) BUT I actually asked my roomie for season1 of SG-1. And I apparently even confirmed it, when she asked if I was sure I didn't want SGA. Naturally, I have no memory of this lapse in sanity (aliens!) but now I have season 1 of SG-1 on DVD. I guess I'll be watching me some SG-1, then! And picking up season 1 of SGA for myself some time after Christmas.

♠ Bad fic idea #1: Rodney McKay versus/deals with Sedna! (As most of you probably didn't learn Inuit mythology in grade school like I did, here: Wiki provides.) And no, not as a Goa'uld. She would eat them for breakfast. I mean that literally.

♠ Bad fic idea #2: An SGA/NCIS crossover with McKay/Gibbs! Probably as something that happened before Rodney went off to Atlantis, and now a Marine's been murdered and some of the Atlantis crew were sorta there (I'm thinking the guy was part of their security contingent, and was murdered in a hotel room). There would probably be a cameo by John's ex-wife, and screencaps from And Never Let Her Go might possibly be used for inspiration.

♠ I saw the final half hour or so of the NCIS episode where they bury Kate. ;_; Kaaaaaaaate! (Is it my imagination, or is the shifty redhead director played by the same woman as the evil redhead hypnotist-psychotherapist on Eureka? And what is with evil hypnotist-psychotherapists? The final boss in Birds of Prey (the TV series) was Harley Quinn, and she was an evil hypnotist-psychotherapist! Dude.)

♠ Bad fic idea #3: SGA/NCIS again. McKay/Gibbs again. Maybe Gibbs could use his Snow White-esque animals-love-me mojo on McKay's cat. (Look, Mark Harmon is way prettier than Jewel Staite. I am trading up, here, people!)

♠ Bad fic idea #4: Rictor/Darkstar. Just, no. Why is my brain doing this to me? What do they even have in common? Being mutants, knowing Bobby Drake, and being on the Paris Corp-X team. She is too old for him.

♠ Work progresses on my latest stab at my random_30 prompts. I have something in the works for each of y claims, but I'm worried they're boring. :/

♠ Me so tired.

I read a lot of SGA fanfic. I've already mentioned that they tend to involve a disproportionately high amount of US Marines for what we see in the show, but another thing is that the Marines tend to get kind of a bad rap. (Not always; soemtimes they are human and rock, like in Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda.) But sometimes they do. It's like some writers think the USMC as a whole are humourless bastards who will throw a blanket party for the first person to deviate from a ridiculously stringent standard of masculinity.

Meanwhile, I've been watching Marines in Iraq doing the Cha Cha Slide. Both videos I linked were taken down while I was posting, alas.

Suffice to say, they're people. They have senses of humour. They do silly dances together!

Let's try this again:

Jaime Ray Newman (who played Laura Cadman) is pretty and also hilariously teeny compared to some of the guys she's worked with. There's also one in that gallery that I suspect is from Bones; David Boreanaz is making faces behind her back.

Hey, did you know they guy who played Wesley Wyndam-Pryce voiced Mirror Master on JLU? Rogues ftw!
