15 Years! Episode fest!

[melagan]

To celebrate the fifteen years since the first airing of Stargate Atlantis, valika proposed a celebration and I whole-heartedly agree.

For the next week, we want to hear all about your favorite Stargate Atlantis episode(s), why should we watch them and what about that episode(s) caught your imagination.

Feel free to elaborate as little or as much as you like.

We'd be delighted if you wanted to tell us a little about your favorite characters too.

(I'm looking at you popkin16)

I've been working my way through a re-watch. I have to keep stopping, stare at the screen and announce, "OMG they're so PRETTY!"

Ahem.

Guess 'll work on something more coherent for this mini fifteen-year fest.

I have lots of favorite episodes, it's hard to choose only one. The first episode I can name as a favorite was Letters from Pegasus.

I loved every single moment of it. I loved Sheppard and Teyla in their watching mission, which could change quickly into a rescue mission, despite John's opposition at first. I enjoyed how these two warriors could find their patience and could resisted to their instincts to run or fight. Their facial expressions can tell us everything about how was watching the horror like.


All the members of the expedition was so brave! Maybe they were in panic as the Wraith hiveships were getting closer to the City and the end seemed to be certain. but they tried to collect, save and send to Earth as many data of the expedition as they could. And Rodney was a genius. Again.

I loved especially all the personal goodbyes were recorded (except Kavanaugh's). My favorite one was Zelenka, speaking Czech - it was hilarious and touching in a certain way.

Zelenka (speaking Czech): "Na dne more mame "failsafe" mechanismus. Obrovskou silou vytrhl kotvu mesta ze dna oceanu. My jsme... Zhrozili jsme... jsme... Zhrozili jsme se. Neuveritelny. Co se to deje, a ten hluk. Cele mesto se traslo jako pri zemetreseni. To bylo neco neuveritelnyho. A najednou se hneme. Cele mesto stoupalo, stoupalo nahoru, nahoru k hladine. To, to bylo neco neuveritelnyho. A veze prorazily hladinu a vyjeli jsme nahoru, nahoru. Vody, vlny vodopady. Vsechno tece z tech vejsek a vystrelili jsme nahoru uplne navrsek a najednou Slunce. Slunicko proste proudilo do vsech voken. Do smrti, do smrti na to nezapomenu.

[Translation of the above: There is a "failsafe" mechanism on the ocean floor. With big power it ripped off the anchor of town from the bottom of ocean. We were... we were afraid... were... were... we were afraid. Unbelievable. What is happening, and that noise. The whole city was trembling as if it was an earthquake. That was something unbelievable. And suddenly we were moving. All the city was ascending, ascending up, up to the surface. That, that was something unbelievable. And the towers punched through the surface of water and we were going up, up. Waters, waves, waterfalls. All that water was falling down from that heights and we were shot up, absolutely on the top, and suddenly sun. Sun was simply shining to all windows. I will remember it to my death.]

Ford: You didn't say anything that would require security clearance, did you?

Zelenka: Security clearance?"

The goodbye videos in Letter to Pegasus!

Oh yes, I adore them!
