SGA...10 Years Later, fest: Comedy and Drama

[melagan.livejournal.com]

A duel topic. Atlantis gave us a number of dramatic moments. How could it not, what with fighting off the Wraith and a bevy of imminent death scenarios. (Rodney made me say that).

While I love a good edge-of-your-seat moment as much as anyone, I dearly need my comic relief. Without question SGA did it better when they kept it subtle.

Teyla's priceless reaction to - well, usually to something John, Rodney or Ronon cooked up. John, cuddled up to a Wraith worshiper proclaiming, the clowns just keep coming. Carson's wee turtles and almost too many moments in Inferno to mention.

A good many Friday nights this show gave me a reason to smile. How about you?

Comedy:

* Duet -- comedy all the way

* "I shot him." - "In the leg." -- Elizabeth's shocked reaction's brilliant

* every single one of Teyla's eye rolls, cause you just know she's keeping herself from smacking them over the head with her banto's

* Rodney delivering Teyla's kid was priceless

* Rodney talking about his gluteus maximus, and Evan trying to get information out of him at the same time about the rest of the team's whereabouts

* Zelenka's epic return from the kid's planet

* Zelenka crawling through Atlantis' airducts like a hamster, all the while muttering in Czech

* Miko's and Radek's message in Letters From Pegasus

Drama:

* that whole epic take-off in First Strike -- you know it's going to fail with epic proportions and yet it's kinda like how you want Titanic to make that bloody turn away from the iceberg even when you know it's not going to be different this time around - she'll always hit

* death of my favorite character in Doppelganger

* Elizabeth telling John and Ronon to go and leave her behind with the human form replicators

* Sunday -- but seriously exploding tumors?!?
