Thirty-Eight Minutes my beloved. SO MUCH happens in that episode.

First time seeing Dr Zelenka! ❤️️

Rodney's *gestures vaguely* everything. snappy annoyed Rodney don't have time to be nice because lives are at stakes, i am fucking LOVES. and he gives up so many times, without Ford they'd all be dead even if it was Radek and Rodney who did the actual engineering, but when Ford snaps at him he gets his ass in gear and fixes it. he says his cute lil "sorry" twice! he is SO WORRIED about John throughout the whole episode.

❤️️ John whump ❤️️

Kavanagh, jfc, Kavanagh, that fucking asshole. and he got to save the fucking day i'm so angry x'D

Dr Elizabeth Weir. just. wow. i love her.

Ford did so much for that episode too, he's such a good boy.

random fave quote:

Dr Weir: Understood. What can I do to help? Dr Zelenka: Stop talking, please. Dr Weir: Dr Zelenka: *smiles awkwardly*

[mushroom-through-the-stargate]

ok buckle up because I'm going to go on a Stargate Atlantis gush so long I'm not going to bother turning it pink

this series is EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN NEEDING ok ok listen yes it has scary monsters and fight scenes and blowing stuff up BUT it also has substantial fluff

we get to see the characters making a home in small ways from a favourite food in the cafeteria to rc car races in an unused hallway

THEY CALL THEMSELVES A FAMILY THATS MY LIFELINE A FOUND FAMILY CALLING THEMSELVES A FAMILY

the words "we can't tear this family apart" in life threatening situations give me life and they are said a bunch of times

the creators hate killing characters off as much as we hate losing them so a lot of mc deaths get "well, actually"d in a way that made sense (such as getting really upset that my fave Carson died only to have his clone be rescued half a season later and be reintegrated into the mc circulation)

and the series finale was AMAZING. spoiler alert skip this paragraph if you don't wanna read details about the finale. it gave a reasonably hefty threat for a finale, but everyone survived (other fave Ronan got well-actually'd and I'm thankful because he's the teddy bear protector and I would've cried) and found a home. atlantis is on earth, the family is together, and it ends with the well-loved all mc's are on a balcony overlooking a beautiful view and saying that theyre each other's home and there are always going to be other adventures. - end finale spoilers -

even the bad guys are personified. you mightve seen my post about Todd, and Todd is The Original Funnyman. this guy has the best sense of humour in the whole show. then there's Michael, and you feel for him. the replicators... uhh... yeah most of the replicators are unremarkable personality-wise, but hey they're robots.

now for mc's. this is a no-rodney mckay-hate blog, so if you say anything hateful about him I'll stab u. yes he's arrogant and a know-it-all and he thinks he's better than everyone and has the social skills of a stale cracker BUT he has GROWTH and is slowly RECOGNIZING AND TRYING TO TREAT PEOPLE BETTER and he's My Boi so fite me 9/10

Sheppard is hilarious and is responsible for the awful placeholder names for individual wraith. he has serious Burnt Out Gifted Kid Vibes and is definitely smarter than he lets on. atlantis crew is definitely the first Family he's had and feels safe with. I love him 11/10

Teyla is awesome and would absolutely kill for her adopted earth family. also turns out to be Best Mum 10/10

Ronan. my beloved puppy Ronan. played by the absolute unit that is Jason mamoa. he is a man of few words and many guns. atlantis crew saved him and he's the last of his people and now the base is His Home. Sheppard calls him "chewie" affectionately and Ronan smiles every time. 20/10 I would absolutely feel safe with him around

Dr Carson beckett. a Scotsman who will even try to heal his enemies. besties with Rodney McKay and keeps him in check. he's so lovable and sweet 11/10 his clone goes away for the Pegasus galaxy version of doctors without borders 9/10 I'm just glad he's back

Radek zelenka. his most common subtitle is [mutters in Czech] he's so soft and squishy I love him. he shares a braincell with Rodney and they finish each other's sentences it's like they're very competitive twins 10/10

Elizabeth weir. not quite the Mum but definitely the Older Sister In Charge. I miss you so much. rip 11/10

there are a lot more that I love but I'm just gonna leave it here. you should absolutely go watch it.

[silerismyblorbo]

this is briliant!

he is bitching about you in czech

Stargate Atlantis | 4x13 Quarantine

[silerismyblorbo]

i fucking love this

Stargate Atlantis "First Strike"

[girlbossk]

tuber!

[schmidtho]

For the fandom thing, either Stargate or hockey

lmao this is so late bc i suck at checking my inbox but

for stargate (i’m including all spin-offs not just sg1)

blorbo: teal’c my beloved he’s just so perfect

scrunkly: either dr zelenka or walter

scrimblo bimblo: general hammond. not that i don’t think he gets love i just think he always deserves more. he would simply do anything fit his granddaughters and i think he’s correct

glup shitto: hmmm cassandra probably? she’s in more than 1 ep but she’s my daughter and i love her so much i cry just thinking about her

poor little meow meow: rodney mckay lol. like i do think he has just one of the best character growth arcs in the whole franchise but like. he’s still a little asshole

horse plinko: i wanna say sheppard mostly bc i think he’s have a good humor about it yknow

eeby deeby: senator kinsey your honor send that bitch straight to hell do not pass go do not collect $200!!!!!!

for hockey (i’m gonna include all nhl not just caps)

blorbo: feel like this goes w out saying but. nate schmidt <3

scrunkly: nopats i can’t help it i see his rosy cheeks and i wanna squish em

scrimblo bimblo: now i feel i could easily say schmidty again bc he’s soooo underrated but i’ll resist repeats and say snarls. more people need to love that brick shit house

glup shitto: easy nipple boy aka zach sanford

poor little meow meow: the obvious and easy answer is tom wilson. and it’s the correct answer but i will also say brad marchand. love that pest

horse plinko: sammy. no extra comment.

eeby deeby: there are too many nhl men i justifiably hate. so i’ll say crosby simply bc my hate for him only exists on the ice while he’s playing the caps

[silerismyblorbo]

Oh so true

I love that, fundamentally, Radek is a gentle, soft man

Yet when it comes to Rodney, he yells so much. He's the only person on the science team who stands up to Rodney, calls him out on his bullshit, and regularly gets into shouting matches with him

There was also the incident with the metal pole when everyone lost their memory

I just like that while he IS a gentle, soft little man, he can and will throw down when necessary and that "when necessary" is caused by Rodney McKay like 97% of the time

[hxans]

For the blorbo meme, has anyone asked you to do Stargate yet?

Alternatively, Loki the series

No one has asked me about Stargate yet, no, so I shall do it split up into...

SG-1:

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) - hmm, so once upon a time it would have been Daniel, but I think for a long time it has been Sam

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) - Janet! She's so wee but so fierce

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) - she's got an awful lot of haters, but I do love Vala

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) - Cloneill, Cassie

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) - do I really need to say? Ba'al my beloved!

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) - Senator Kinsey

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) - Anubis! But Adria's a close second

And SGA:

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) - Rodney! I think it may be apparent I have a soft spot for the brains of the team. And he grows so much from his first appearances in SG-1

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) - i mean... Ronon? It may be because he's the character with lots of weapons on his person

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) - umm? Zelenka? He puts up with sooooo much and helps save the city whilst working for Rodney.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) - Looooooorne my beloved. Fandom has expanded in him so much, I am so grateful.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) - Steve the wraith? Michael?

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) - just... all the Genii? And any living Ancients they find?

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) - first thought is Kolya, but no, I just remembered bloody Lucius Lavin. That creep can burn.

Fuck it, Duet ft my beloved Cadman

"you have a date Rodney? With a woman?"

Aww. Poor Laura, dealing with these dorks.

Oh hello Mj. Lorne with a rocket launcher.

"I'm a doctor, I can help"FFS Carson.

"If it makes you feel better" lol

"Beam out Mckay, he'll get Cadman out" This faith! This faith he has him!

"It's fine" said Ronon, devouring everything.

"Wanna...wanna come play with us Ronon??"

John is so horrified by Ronon eating with his hands.

Man, this bit with Carson, Cadman, and Rodney is amazing.

Rodney...Rodney don't yell at Zelenka.

Laura...Laura don't yell at Rodney while he is working.

I also love how much he respects Elizabeth. So much.

Laura helping with Katie!! I love that!

And Ronon. And John just watching. In that pose. Damn.

"How bout you try that again. Sir" I love how they just snark at their literal commanding officer.

maybe not the right call, Kate.

Radek does not put up with any of Rodney's nonsense, good for him.

"You're cool, I'm fine" And John is worried.

Wow Rodney, not gonna...shower?

Actually I guess not.

Oh Laura. Honey. Honey no.

Oh...Cadman, you are trying to help, but honey no.

Damn, Rodney is so on the hot people team.

Cyrano...Rodney reads classic literature.

Skipping the date, I can't. I just can't.

RIP mice.

Elizabeth is trying so hard.

Oh no Rodney :((

But.

When Rodney gets down to the wire, he really doesn't let people say they are less important than him eh?

"Don't talk me out of this, I might listen"

Mice or Men? Classical lit alert!

Ah, John's worried!

John is like a little kid. And is such an asshole, damn brah. "my worst nightmare" c'mon man, Rodney is literally in a hospital bed.

[silerismyblorbo]

🌹

this is form a Lorn/Zelenka/Atlantis fic

“Don’t call me crazy, or freak out…” said Evan at which point Radek gave him one of the well practised, Rodney quieting, european glares, (that Evan still wouldn’t admit to himself he found so attractive)

[silerismyblorbo]

I love these, they're so pretty!

So. I genuinely thought it wouldn’t show up until next month, but my paperback copy of Reliquary showed up today, which I guess is a sign to do the original schedule. I’ll read it (from the start) this weekend to have the review up on Monday.

Here’s a photo of the recent books I’ve read/reviewed and the ones to come.

I’m still delighted to have a new COTRK book. Seriously, I love that series and I enjoyed the new addition.

Ash’s Quest is a good overview, particularly for people like me who are just getting back into the Pokémon fandom.

Transitions will be reread to be reviewed in December. The other 2 SGA novels will be read for the 1st time & reviewed in January. I’m running out of SGA novels that sound good enough to buy, especially now that they’re not in the Books app to buy.

... Yes, I’m a square like that. Also I want to chip in to prove there’s still an audience willing to pay for Stargate stuff. I’ll be in such trouble if there are ever official Stargate Funkos.

I mean, I have two Billys & two Kimberlys. Imagine me with my even more beloved Stargate characters. My poor budget.

Although I only have half of the T*Witches books, I’m going to do a reread with the reviews going up in December. There’ll be a lot of what authors thought was cool in the early 2000s, so that’ll be fun. Are they particularly good books? Eh. Are they enjoyable reads? Yes.

I vaguely recall seeing the film and having the very mixed reaction of: this is a good movie but a bad adaptation. Very similar to my response to 1999’s Mansfield Park, actually.

Although I don’t know when I’ll start, I do want to do a reread & review of Fruits Basket. It’s not perfect, but I remember loving it. There are some concerning age gaps, but that seemed to be an unremarkable thing in fantasy & fantasy-adjacent stories at the turn of the millennium. Which is worrisome in hindsight, even if a lot of it genuinely seemed to be female authors preferring older guys.

... Why, yes, there are reasons I am nervous to go back to reread the first 8 Pierce novels now that I’m 100% an adult. Let’s move on.

Tonight I watched “Excalibur”, and it looks like Merlin is hitting its stride. I’m excited for the next disc. The featurette for the Umbara arc is thankfully mostly some of the crew talking. Maybe it happened & I missed it, but they didn’t seem to acknowledge Baker’s efforts as the voice actor for the clones. Presumably by the fourth season they don’t realize anymore what a feat it is.

I’ll read the short story this weekend as well to include my thoughts on it in the review. For whatever reason I can handle certain things better in a written format opposed to a visual one.

While my recent panic over TCW might seem to indicate I shouldn’t watch Arrow, I am still planning to try watching the 2nd season for a few reasons.

A: Dark Zelenka David Nykl as Anatoly. Plus a few Teryl Rothery appearances as a bonus!

B: Sara Lance’s emergence as a major figure. It’s on the back burner, but I do have the first season of LOT to watch.

C: A look back at the days when it was Arrow, not yet the Arrowverse.

D: Tying in to the above, season 2 has the 2 back door pilots for The Flash, which I haven’t seen before.

E: Part of the problem with TCW is that the darker arcs aren’t just bumps on the journey, but signs of the increasing darkness leading up to Episode III. I’ve gathered that Arrow has a happier end for most of them, with Oliver’s sacrifice seeming at least a bit as being done out-of-universe to justify his absence going forward.

F: I want to see if there’s any truth to the dismissive attitude towards Oliver that occasionally popped up in the first season of The Flash. It strikes me as very odd that the writers opted to boost Barry by scorning Oliver.
