SGA 1x15, "Before I Sleep," aka: the ep that ate my brain.

[kageygirl]

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 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.

The other night I watched the avi file of this episode. Even knowing full well it was on the big(ger) screen this week. I just wanted to see it again. And I *still* got choked up when old!Elizabeth says, her voice breaking for a reason other than age, "I have years ahead of me still." *sniff*

so, not just you.

Hmm. Interesting explanation. That's bugged me since my first viewing, since they made a big deal about how the jumper seems to read John's thoughts and shows him what he's thinking about. Then I figured the time ship was just modified compared to a regular jumper.

Well, yeah. Janus says "No one survived." Either she was the one who'd been dead the shortest amount of time and thus was the only one they could bring back or he cloned her, which would explain why she goes from Rising Elizabeth with the straightish hair to having curly hair. ;)

no! put the blue alcohol down and step away! we neeed more kagey!fic! Especially about this episode. There can't be too much fic about this episode.

and dammit now I remembered there was an icon I wanted to make from this ep but I was waiting until it aired. So you're fault.

I blame atlantis itself for that - I mean, come on, all that humidity has got to be frizzing her hair out.... :)

LOL.
