today i’m thinking about how the single best thing the stargate atlantis crew could do for the pegasus galaxy is stumble upon a time machine and prevent their own arrival.

Daniel Jackson (season 3): The Ancients are amazing and powerful, and we have much to learn of their technology and philosophy

Daniel Jackson (season 10): *throwing back a shot of whiskey* I’m telling you, the Ancients are assholes who could never clean up their own messes

it’s all but impossible to not think of Farscape

Ok, so I love Wraith, alright? But why, for the love of gods, do they have to hiss all the time? Someone should start hissing back at them, preferably during a feeding session.

love relationships between fictional ppl over 50. you skip all that teenage hormonal shit and go straight to what counts: war crimes and making each other worse

I’m sure you can appreciate that a girl has to do what a girl has to do survive.

stargate episodes that should have been, part 60: set during “the return”: radek and jeannie adventure on earth! i imagine that after the events of “mckay and mrs miller” they struck up a correspondence that was at first mostly just jeannie checking in to see how rodney was doing, because he’s trying to be better at keeping touch but still isn’t communicating with her much so she has to go through zelenka. but then they become friends and get up to some wacky hijinks when the atlantis expedition returns to earth that are only tangentially related to rodney (ie., not directly his fault). there’s yet another bad guy who has gotten their hands on some top secret alien tech. it’s something ancient, and when they realize they need a special gene to activate it, they kidnap jeannie and radek first because they might have the gene (jeannie because rodney has it and the bad guys don’t know about the gene therapy, and radek because he was on atlantis), but when they realize they don’t have the gene, they keep them to coerce rodney into working for them. unfortunately for the bad guys, by the time rodney actually answers his phone to hear their threats, jeannie and radek have already made their escape! using a fire extinguisher that wasn’t removed from their makeshift cell due to safety regulations. they go out for pizza then realize that maybe they should call someone and let them know they’re okay. the sgc comes in and shuts the bad guys down and rodney gets yelled at because if he had answered his phone sooner they could’ve been rescued earlier (but, then they couldn’t have rigged a fire extinguisher bomb, so).

OMG THE DUO I'VE BEEN DYING FOR! listen, i'm always happy to see jeannie in an episode where rodney is not directly responsible for her imminent demise, or u kno, one where rodney isn't dying some kind of horrible death.

i love the idea that bad guys/trust who are in the kno about ancient stuff would potentially target atlantis personnel's family members because of the gene. i may or may not be thinking about dave, whose to say.

also, i like that rodney is still a terminally bad communicator, 'cause, well, he is, and that stuff doesn't magically fix overnight. but now jeannie is trying too, cause there is something to fight for there! her and radek would so totally hit it off. i can also see him asking her to consult on sciencey stuff rodney's been putting off, or is being frustratingly stubborn about in secret. and then when rodney deigns to notice a problems been solved, zelenka will let it slip and watch the fireworks go 😂
