SGA 1x15, "Before I Sleep," aka: the ep that ate my brain.
I've seen this episode so many times that it's almost troubling. And by "almost troubling," I mean "borderline obscene." And yet? Can still babble about it. Freak.
::watching the teaser. Boy is wandering through living room to get a beer from the kitchen::
Rodney: "... preferably one with a balcony, but I'm not married to it."
Boy: Who's the gay guy?
kagey: ::falls off sofa, giggling madly:: He's not, but we like him with the head military guy there.
Boy: Wait, he's not supposed to be overtly gay?
kagey: ::falls off sofa again. wonders why she bothered getting back up.:: No, no, he's not. He's just, uh, emphatic? ::tries and fails to think of a way to explain Rodney in ten words or less.::
Boy: He just said "married to it." ::gives kagey a dubious look, but she's giggling too much. wanders back into bedroom with beer::
Also--the Time Jumper! It only took me six or seven viewings to get it. John says he could do with an "instruction manual," and touches the panel, and bam! The ship takes him...
... back to the time where he can find the guy who built the thing.
So, all right, it's like a 3-candlepower lightbulb I've got here. But it's mine.
The Atlanteans say they found her ship on the ocean floor. I'm telling you, they were all dead, and the Atlanteans (who built the tech the sarcophagus was based on, yes?) brought Elizabeth back. But only her.
...
::facepalms. beats head against handy apartment wall.::
Okay, um, three different fics and four icons (no, five, I got one from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mmmchelle) from one episode are really more than sufficient, and I'm going to go drink until I decide that the idea I just had is unnecessary. And it can go join the other BIS idea that I've been resisting. They can keep each other busy while I attempt to incur enough brain damage to forget them.

After that she, along with Rodney and Carson, picked out the rest of the members for the expedition.
That's totally how I see it, too. Plus, you really wouldn't send people across the galaxy who'd never been in the same room before. At the very least, you need to know who to salute, and who to listen to for which orders. *g*
Your timeline works for me, too--in "Rising," Elizabeth tells O'Neill that she's been choosing people for her expedition team "for months," though you can fudge that either way and say that she was angling for the position as head of the team investigating the Ancient outpost while she was still head of the SGC. And it would probably take at least a week to ship all those supplies to the SGC--plus Rodney had to build his little ZPM battery pack.
Man, I need to finish my "Rising" missing scene--you just gave me some good ideas. Feel free to drop in anytime! *g*
