Watching!

Last night, I watched SGA's Progeny. Very good! The special effects were amazing, especially the town with all its bridges... But the best part? Elizabeth and Teyla watching John and Rodney bicker. There this one scene...

McKay: I figured out a way to create a glitch, that, on my command, should momentarily freeze them.
Sheppard: Should?
McKay: Okay, will. I mean, dead in their tracks, like hitting the pause button. I mean temporarily, until they figure out how to override it.
Ronon: How long?
McKay: Well, I don't know, that's why I said momentarily.
Sheppard: Days? Hours? Minutes?
McKay: Well, look, it's, it's minutes, but I don't know, that's what I was just saying to him. (points in Ronon's s general direction)
Sheppard: Ten? Twenty?
McKay: Look, yeah, fine. You want a number, yeah fine: seven. Seven minutes and thirty one seconds. You happy?
Sheppard: No!
McKay: No.
Sheppard: It's not enough time!
McKay: Ok, you wanted a number!
Sheppard: A bigger number!
McKay: Yeah, but it may very well be longer.
Sheppard: Or shorter!
McKay: Look, I don't know! Look, you're missing the point...
Weir: Gentlemen! Focus! Please!

The director, Andy Mikita, said that the two actors, Joe Flanigan and David Hewlett, had a blast with this scene, that it was literally a laughing fest, that they made each other laugh again and again. Andy is so excited about the chemistry between Joe and David, he loves their banter.

Oh oh, and I loved the scene where Rodney poked John in the head in the cell and John slapped his stomach... Like children, really XD


Sheppard: I’m still waiting to meet an Ancient race who’ve invented the car.

Sheppard: (seeing Ronon spinning his weapon.) Tuck that thing away. We told them we were friendly.
Ronon: I'm friendly.
Sheppard: Is that thing set to stun?
(Ronon changes the setting.)
Sheppard: Friendlier.

McKay: (finding out that Asuras has many ZPMs) I assume that you, um, built them yourselves?
Niam: Yes.
McKay: (eager) Yes.
Sheppard: Easy, Rodney, you're slobbering.

Sheppard: How's it coming, Rodney?
McKay: Slowly.
Sheppard: What's the hold up?
McKay: What's the hold up? Do you have any idea what I'm trying to do here?
Sheppard: Niam gave you access to the program code and you're screwing around with it?
McKay: Oh, that is so... Relatively accurate.
Sheppard: Thank you.
McKay: Okay, still, we're not dealing with Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots here, we are dealing with a complex code of over three billion chemical based sequences. It's like trying to reconfigure the DNA double helix.
Sheppard: Okay, so what? Five minutes?

Teyla: Might it not be possible that these people merely discovered this city, as you discovered Atlantis?
Sheppard: Wouldn't be surprised. They don't seem very... ancienty to me.
McKay: Ancienty?
Sheppard: Yes. That's the word I was looking for.



And then I watched the little featurette about Rachel Luttrell. I loved how Martin Gero talked about her and about how people keep asking for more Teyla and more of this and that, except for Sheppard and McKay because those two are everywhere! XD

Which reminds me, I think that Sheppard and McKay both are much more important for SGA than Richard Dean Anderson or Michael Shanks were for SG-1 (I'm not dissing them because I loved them and their bickering!). I think that in SG-1, each character of the team was much stronger individual whereas in SGA, Sheppard and McKay basically hold the story together, they are Atlantis. That's why even when the episode itself is about another member of the team, either Sheppard or McKay or both still play a huge part in it.

Oh, and, since I'm talking about the featurette, there was this one behind-the-scene thingy where Joe Flanigan was leaning with his elbows against the slabs of the cell and he was turned with his back towards the camera. And there comes David Hewlett and starts pointing at Joe's butt showing both thumbs up XD Then Jason Momoa pops up and makes fun of Joe's stripped boxers that peek above his pants. And cue in Rachel pretending to grab Joe's butt, swooning. They do it in complete silence and Joe is totally oblivious! I went ROTFLMAO when I saw it!
