SGA squee

this is the script, bb.

(I can't stop laughing now.)

From:

I watched the episode this morning and just boggled. Yeah, panic really was their first thought. *giggles*

From:

Well, can you blame them?

And, in all honesty, panic's a good first idea so long as others follow.

From:

No, I can't blame them at all. But it was everyone's first idea. *still giggling*

From:

Two words: Space Vampires

Honestly, once you get over your initial disbelief, panic is the next thing on the emotional checklist

From:

I think there's something wrong with you if panic's not your first idea in this case.

From:

::hmms noncommitally::

You never know until you're put in that situation. I know there are some things in my life that I've handled a lot worse (or, occasionally, better) than I'd have imagined before.

From:

Well, yes, but space vampires.

From:

Yes, but there's a wide range of emotions to choose from - fear, panic, fear-and-panic, disbeilef, stunned disbelief, outright terror, et cetera et cetera

From:

Well, presumably they've moved through stunned disbelief by this point in the game, and hopefully the fear is muted by this point, too.

From:

hopefully. but if they've moved past the disbelief and the fear, you'd have thought that the panic would be a bit muted too, but...

le sigh.

trying to apply RL to TV never works out well

From:

Especially when the writers seem to only have a passing familiarity with said reality...

From:

well, in their defense, the show is set in a different galaxy, on the Lost City of Atlantis, which is frequently under attack by space vampires and amish neo-nazis and what have you. RL doesn't exactly have much to do with any of that.

::hangs head::

still, despite all of that, all of us here are mildly obessed with the show, so what does that say about us?

From:

Yeah, I meant more the reality of people's emotions--all you have to do is look at season five to see that they're not too familiar with the way real people feel and react to things.

From:

oh, don't even get me started with S5. It's like I was saying to mckaysmonkey a while back, the writers are hopelessly stunted. It's like the people on The Big Bang Theory wrote the series or something (http://mckaysmonkey.livejournal.com/15682.html) for all the understanding of emotions they have

From:

Yeah, thinking someone like Keller and someone like McKay had anything in common, let alone romance (which wasn't at all romantic)--what were they smoking?

From:

i think it was less "what were they smoking" and more "what psychotropic mold was growing in their coffee cups"

From:

::sporfle:: I think you're right.

From:

::bows::

From:

I think what makes it so funny is they're all so calm and rational as they say, "Yeah, let's panic." Like it's something they'll plan out and schedule.

(Then I get that clip of David Hewlett accepting that award in my head and think of McKay running around the gateroom, screaming at the top of his lungs. "Okay, all done. What's next?") *snort*

From:

:D

oh, true. They are so wonderfully calm about it. ::sighs:: I miss this show so much

*rolls on the floor in laughter*

From:

Hee!

From:

Oh, Elizabeth. Cat herding is easier; they'll always come for treats.

From:

I feel for Elizabeth, I do. Cats would be so much easier.
